You should have seen what I really wanted to say!

i and waitting the second round reg 

and btw  you guys can not abandon your orginal supporter IMO

because dump or hold is their choose

LOL.  I just thought of a use for an exchange. Go ahead.  Mock me.  

One exchange (Polo) has recently changed their procedures for accepting coins.  Thus, Ora's "premine" alone will probably disqualify it from trading there, in spite of the altruistic point of Ora's existence.

Lots of ppl like Polo's approach to this because it helps filter the crappy pump and dump coins.

My vote is we could use polo to oversee the second round of distributions from their "giveaways" page, thereby making Mac Red breathe a sigh of relief!

That may also get us in good graces with Polo, so that IF the time comes to apply to get on the Polo exchange we will have our foot in the door.  This may also give Ora some street cred with the exchange crowd.

The downsides are:
1.  It might be too costly to pay them to do this.
2.  that clientele might be more likely to turn around and dump Ora.
3.  They might not want to distribute a coin that exists only in NXT, where they don't control a wallet.
4.  It will bring out the fud'rs, ppl who are interested only in the word "free" and not the ecosystem of Ora.
5.  We probably would get mocked for using NXT to distribute what is essentially a competitor.


I don't think this is a brilliant idea.  Or even a good idea.  But it might solve problems of future distributions, and give Ora some publicity.  I'm just not sure if this is the type of publicity I want for Ora.

All, don't forget we have a dev thread where we talk about what Ora is going to become.

Stop on by and give some ideas and feedback!!!

I  prefer slow  and gradual growth of the coin and more people might get interested after next round of distribution. Long road ahead of ORA...

Just increase current ORA holders stake by X% determined.

PM me a new NXT ID, preferably from a downloadable client.

PM reminder now sent to all 64 applicants.

Having some trouble with my master password on the mynxt.info site, I wrote it down and have been trying different combinations and it wont work. Is there a way to change it?

I haven't checked the numbers, but how many coins remain after the initial distribution?

And has it been decided what is to be done with them? A 2nd round of stakes could work, although doing another registration could be messy. Going the comm route could work, where initial stakeholders receive a 2nd round, but only if they held a majority of their initial coins. It gets around the issue of giving coins to those who just want to dump, as whomever still has their initial stakes obviously didn't plan to dump at cheap prices. 

waiting for the possible next wave.

It has surpassed 500 trades for now. Probably will make another wave when we hit the next distribution. We still need to work on the poll options. Getting prepared for the poll.

ORA market is too quiet of late. Shaking the tree. :-)~

No, to give some users from the first (and only round so far) one last chance to get on the list and receive their stakes. They can do this by making sure their NXT addresses are secure. This only applies to 64 specific users who submitted and verified everything in time but didn't obtain a public key. These users were left out of the final list consisting of 889 valid entries. So far we got 825 secured addresses. 7 days from now (next Thursday), the last check and update will be made to the stakeholder list. Afterwards it's all set in stone; the list will never be updated again (though perhaps a new reg period will open in the future, with a whole new list).

To start a new round of distribution again?

Ya, just sent you a reply over PM.

As previously mentioned I'll send out a reminder via PM later today to everyone it concerns, to secure their NXT addresses (a total of 64 users).

Me too.

you have been treated as fake applicant, maybe.

Great post nio!

Yes, centralised exchanges make the crypto movement far more vulnerable to government regulation, manipulation & control than I'm comfortable with. Centralised exchanges are like 'Spiders', cut off the head and the organism dies, close a centralised exchange like Mt Gox and the whole crypto movement is threatened.

Wherever possible we need to stay like a decentralised 'Starfish'! Cut off a leg and a new one grows, cut the Starfish in half and you end up with two 'living' Starfish. Close down a decentralised P2P exchange .... hey, that's not possible!

Centralisation should be avoided wherever possible, and we should expect the forces opposed to the growth & adoption of ALL crypto currencies will use both carrots & sticks to try and encourage centralisation. Sometimes the centralisation will be a heavy handed stick (like the example nio pointed out from NY regulators), but sometimes it might be a sugar coated centralised 'carrot' (maybe Ethereum, not sure yet??).

For anyone interested in a great summary of the power and applicability of the decentralised 'Starfish' concept to ORA, here is a great talk by one of the authors, Rod Beckstrom, of the book, "The Starfish and the Spider: The Unstoppable Power of Leaderless Organizations"

How about a photo with a person in it holding a paper or something expressing about Ora? Could be a fun one too. we can also use that material in the official ora website and promotions.
