That's awesome! On behalf of the qora community, I'd like to thank you for your generosity.    eyd_li1 has a site up (qora.club). is it possible to forward all visitors to qoratalk.org to qora.club for now?

In any case, I believe dzarmush or eyd_li1 is in charge of web development. Or maybe the dev might have some use for it. I don't know.

Talk to them and see what they think.  

PS: I can probably whip up a message board really quick.  I will help you set it up in case no one else is available to help.

Great news! BlockExplorer is up.

I see that QM8e3cGfE1AUQU2ibYjau3vkiCf9Vgxgrh has gotten 5 mill in qora from you using the blockexplorer.

The recipient probably need to delete the data folder and redownload the blockchain again.

Hi guys,

Just to reiterate what was being said about the application process, please use the following format when you submit your application to ReRun -

1. BitcointalkID
2. Method of Joining (Qualified by Asset or Time Commitment) -- Whether you'd like to join based on amt of qora asset owned or you wish to contribute time (Min. Asset Req. 50 Million Qora)
3. Amount of Qora asset currently owned.
4. Your Primary Qora address where the fund is being held (for verification purpose).
5. Pledge/Donation/Time Commitment -- How much you wish to donate to Qora Marketing Fund (Min. Requirement: 1 Million Qora or 20 hours of work/week)

Please send a PM to ReRunRod and send 2 qoras to this address: Qc4i6c335VrTckKwMrsgzE2ePeRproMmDF (for asset verification purpose).

It's time for me to hit the sack. Take care, guys. 

Can you find out how many confirmations the transaction has on your side?

You can probably use console command for that. Let me see if I can find the command in the API guide for you

Oh, No! Sorry to hear that. 

We really need your blockexplorer to verify account ownership. Can you get it back up soon? 

Awesome! Also, you should have received a completed application from me.

After verifying my info and ownership of account (check to make sure I meet all criteria), please add my name to the list of committee members.

Thanks!

Great! I'll be the first one to send in my application. Give me 4 minutes. Just a quick reminder to everyone, when you submit your application to ReRunRod, please use the following format:

1. BitcointalkID
2. Method of Joining (Qualified by Asset or Time Commitment) -- Whether you'd like to join based on amt of qora asset owned or you wish to contribute time (Min. Asset Req. 50 Million Qora)
3. Amount of Qora asset currently owned.
4. Your Primary Qora address where the fund is being held (for verification purpose).
5. Pledge/Donation/Time Commitment -- How much you wish to donate to Qora Marketing Fund (Min. Requirement: 1 Million Qora or 20 hours of work/week)

Looks great! I have one request.

On the side tab, could you add the following resources --

1. Qora's official twitter account, I believe it's http://www.twitter.com/qoracoin
2. Qora's official IRC chatroom -- it's kiwi something.. need to look
3. Download link for Qora's latest client

Thanks~

Great    Please publish the wallet address here so we can send the 2 qora needed for verification. I'm gonna be the first one to send in my application to you.  

====

Question - I see two qora accounts from  you.. Which wallet should I use?

ReRunRod,

Would you like to set up a Qora address for verification purpose and publish the address here?  Each of the applicants will send 2 qora (fee is 1 qora, so I assume 2 is minimum?) to this address.

After verifying the applicant has the amount of fund in qora required to join, you can go ahead and update the spreadsheet and add the applicant's name to the sheet.

PS: qora.club is dead btw..

======================================

Also, I'm thinking that we should probably collect the donation (for marketing fund) the same time. So if possible, could TwinWindNerD also set up a qora address for donation purpose?

Tell me what you guys think.. Collecting donation at the time of applying to become a member.

I think the first question we should ask ourselves is - What gives a cryptocurrency value?

Good marketing/promotion will only go so far as getting potential customers in the door, but without real value (ie. ways to spend the coins), most newcomers will just take off and leave.

So ultimately, having a good marketing director is not really enough.  We need to have value-added services built on top of qora too.

I've got a few ideas I'll reveal later.

If there is no objection, ReRunRod will handle the application process (since he's also doing the spreadsheet).

So each of us who likes to become a committee member must submit an application (via PM) to ReRunRod.

In the application, we should state the following --

1. BitcointalkID
2. Method of Joining -- Whether you'd like to join based on amt of qora asset owned or you wish to contribute time (Min. Asset Req. 50 Million Qora)
3. Amount of Qora asset currently owned.
4. Qora address where the fund is being held (for verification purpose).
5. Pledge/Donation/Time Commitment -- How much you wish to donate to Qora Marketing Fund (Min. Requirement: 1 Million Qora or 20 hours of work/week)

====================================================

One more thing --

We need to have a committee Qora address (for initial verification purpose).  Each applicant will send 1 qora to this address to prove that he is the account owner.

Those 1 qora will be moved to Marketing Fund account once it's been set up.

Okay!  Sorry cant really think when I'm hungry.

Now back to business --

We need to talk about the committee application procedure...  We need someone to handle the application and verification process.  Will ReRod or Dzarmush like to do the honor?

Here are the steps that needed to be performed -

1. An application needed to be sent in via PM.

2. Qora asset must be verified.

3. After application has been received, and qualifications have been reviewed by the person in charge, the name will be added to spreadsheet

===================================

I agree with gorillajam that we should hire a pro.

I have something important to say.  I'm very hungry and I really wanna get a slice of pizza from the fridge.

May I be excused so I can go get my pizza??  I promise I will come back in 10 minutes (just need to heat it in the microwave)

BRB

Okay, I would like to nominate the following persons to the positions --

1. Treasurer & Honorary Committee Advisor = TwinWindNerD
2. Committee Record Keeper = ReRunRod

Keep in mind it's pending  We still have to put a committee together and let the members vote.

I just think they'll be perfect for those roles.

Hi guys,

This is my first draft for your review.  Please tell me what you think.

Here is my first draft for your review --


A. Membership Guideline:

In order to be considered a member of Qora Marketing Committee (name pending), one of the two criteria must be met:

1. Any investor who has an asset of over 50 million and pledge at least 1 million Qora is eligible to join the committee.  

2. For people who do not meet the first requirement but wish to join, they may pledge their time in substitution of aforementioned asset requirement. The potential candidate must agree to be an active participant of the committee and the Qora community, and must agree to contribute at least 20 hours of their time (weekly basis) toward promotion and development of Qora community.

B. Bylaws regarding committee membership status and committee structure --

1. Membership must be reviewed and renewed on a 6-months basis.  Current members who no longer meet the conditions stated in the membership guideline or failed to provide proof of qora asset will be dropped from the committee without further notice.

2. Each member of the committee has one vote, and each vote carries the same weight.  However, the chairman of the committee will have the veto power, in such case, the proposal will be reviewed and revised before being submitted for committee voting again.

3. Election will be held every 6 months to fill committee positions.  Only current members of the committees are eligible to vote and be elected for positions within the committee.

4. Any revision to the bylaws of qora committee must be approved by the majority of committee members.

5. In case of conflict, the issue will be put to a vote.  Every decision/agenda must have the approval of majority of committee members.

C. Description of Committee structure --

1. The head of the committee is the chairman, and is elected by members from a list of eligible candidates. The chairman is responsible for setting agendas and coordinating with other members of the committees (marketing, treasury, community development).

2. Treasurer -- responsible for handling committee accounts. Sending and receiving funds.  Keeping records of donations and expenditures.

3. Market Director -- this person will serve as liaison between the qora community and the media.  This person will attend conventions, help increase public awareness of qora project.

4. Record Keeper -- the person will record motions that have been passed in a meeting...

5. Community organizer -- maintaining social networking feed and work with promotional teams to promote qora in all venues.

Agree. Drop the committee choice column then.

Now I need up to come up with a draft for committee membership guideline (please give me some time, I'll edit the post after I finish)

To Dzar, ReRod, and Twin,

So we drop the working committee idea for now?  Originally, I thought of it as a reserve corp of volunteers whose talents we can utilize. By having their names listed in a spreadsheet, we will have a list of potential candidates we can call up and ask them if they'll take on certain projects.

If you guys don't like it, we can drop that column. What do you think?

Seriously, I'm excited about Qora, it's really only the crypto I care about. I think we've got a head start over exo and nem, and we should fully exploit that advantage!

Qora will be phenomenal! I have no doubt it will surpass NXT!
