NextGenCoin,
I'm in total agreement with you on this. The dev should postpone releasing the source for at least 6 - 12 months. The next step we need to take is "
Qora Code Review" by independent 3rd-party devs. And I've got a few words to say about this.
I'm wondering if we can get/hire a panel of devs for the code review, the panelists should fit the following profiles:
1. Programmers who are well known in academia or research community (I'm thinking of those Johns Hopkins guys who were working on ZeroCoin project, or professors of well known schools in the USA).
2. Programmers or devs who have connection to media.
3. Devs who might be interested in working for/on Qora (remember we need devs for lightweight mobile clients).
4. Devs who are just famous or well known in the bitcoin/cryptocurrency community.
Those should be the only candidates.
Is Qora an open sourced project?
and when will the source code be released?
Not yet.
Not yet decided. The community will make the decision based on the situation. Nobody wants early clones.
I think open source as a marketing tool is essential. Without a code review people worry about how safe their money is.
Yeah, but BCNext has his own way
I believe nobody wants to publish source too fast. It's better to wait till Qora is well known enough so clones won't hurt it.
Agree,I dont want to see tons of suck coins,open source must to do,but it is not the time
I would go further and suggest the community votes for the code to be checked over by a number of trusted third parties. Open source made sense in the Bitcoin era but not anymore. Blindly doing something because it is the 'done thing' is not smart. The fact is the only people who want the source and will be complaining on here that its not released are those hoping to make a quick clone.
Sensible people will vote for a new way of doing things. We need experts to look at the code not cloners...
At the very least an expert check when the coin has gained some maturity and then a health long gap to opensource. I'm talking a year or more.
I did the upgrade by recovering all my wallets using my seed. I was out of town this weekend, so I didn't install V2-V3.
