great work! Are you getting a bounty for this? You should.

I think the more simple wording works much better but you are going to hate me now but maybe 'What is Qora' needs a ? After it, maybe it's ok though?


It's a small thing but under block explorer I might not have top 100 richest cause it's misleading as the first few are exchanges. maybe others disagree. Otherwise it shows a decent even distribution.

I originally voted to keep the source closed, but as the weeks have passed on I have had a change of heart. It's not about price, as low price means I buy more and that goes for any crypto I choose to have a stake in.

My reasoning is simple, "Innovation".

I know many of you are so excited about the AE, but for me, it will not help Qora at all, or any coin for that matter. An AE is a great concept, but it lends itself to scammers way too easily. The effect the AE will have on an every day adopter is null. I could be wrong, but I believe our resources should be focussed in other areas. The fact that buyers have no recourse nullifies any potential benefit, but that is my opinion and I could be wrong.

Qora should solely focus on:

  • Re-establishing our node count
  • Multiple clients to choose from - must be OS for this ( I suggested we have a client that supports themes, kind of like personalized checks)
  • Attract developers from other coins - trust me, good talent pool is low right now with the influx of all these new alts - must be OS for this.
  • Whitepaper release
  • Full or Partial Code release, put the skeptics to rest
  • Javascript Buy Now Button ( Can also be used for tipping, reputation votes etc..)
  • Mobile Applications




I almost don't want to post and agree cause I have been labelled as someone who is try to FUD. All of the points I agree on but the main one is going Open Source. This coin needs a community it's needs people to come in.

The main objection to OS is almost completely invalid. People believe loads of clones will come in and push Qora out of the way but it isn't going to happen. The truth is this I hope we get a few clones but I doubt apart from Ora junk we will even get one. The reason is new coins are turning up now and the new wave of coins almost have to have new source code in the title to even get any interest the era of Clones have probably finished at least the era where they are taken seriously. So the biggest objection to OS is stupid and unlikely to have any negative affect on Qora.

So what exactly are we waiting for?

*Remember the big clones of NXT? NEM and NXTL, NAS, etc all the serious one knew they couldn't survive as straight clones so they recoded from scratch. I have my suspicions they they are still ripping off NXT but still my point is clones cant achieve much these days. And straight clones like NAS are forgotten in days.


And please don't anyone say the community has voted so it's all decided. A few vocal people on this thread greatly influence the conversation and so the voting. I would argue they are the real FUD spreaders because they have made everyone think people are hiding in corners desperate to steal Qora code and destroy the coin. It's not based on reality but on ignorance and fear of how coins and even clones affect the original. What annoys me is those vocal minority are now all over other coins cheerleading them on while leaving Qora to flounder.

I pretty much agree with everything mentioned in this post.  We can't forget that when a coin is open-sourced, people who want to develop on top of the coin can now get their questions answered about how the software operates, and how to interact with the API, by inspecting the code, rather than bugging the developer(s) about knit-picky questions.

Furthermore, Qora could be one of the greatest developers in the world but we ALL need a second pair of eyes to look at our code.  Quality will sacrifice, otherwise.  When dealing with money, we need this to be thoroughly reviewed.

Ready, Go.


Excellent work, the last site looked a bit scammy, this is more pro looking. Two questions, how does the exchange link with the website as the exchange is within the wallet, do you means Exchanges like BTER. Maybe better to put exchanges or just 'Buy Qora'

Also what does 'develop progress' mean? The grammar seems wrong. If you mean devlopment progress you can say that or something simpler like NEWS maybe.

If somebody have changed his mind about opening the source, he should edit his vote in the poll. http://qora.co.in/?q=first+voting+on+the+source&poll


Well I was more asking the question rather than calling for a vote. If we did vote again it needs a proper plan and be the right time like after the coin is fully developed. But my question is still does being closed source explain the low price?

Yes, voting is over. There's no point to change anything at the moment. The community made decision.

Also I don't see any connection between closed source and low price.

Really Dzarmush? Even though as a NXT follower you watched the coin explode in price prior to OS. Sorry but I question your sincerity. You also have said yourself that Clones help a coin. You seem to of changed your view?

Plus this coin has been held back by the idea it is a clone, proving that would make a difference I expect.

This article talks about a decentralized voting project....

https://blog.agoravoting.com/index.php/2013/11/28/a-bitcoin-based-completely-distributed-voting-system/


So cool qora has this already implemented and working  Grin


It's amazing how overlooked this coins functions are. There are only a few real completely new coded coins out in the wild. BTC, NXT, Qora, Ripple ..really what else is new apart from some protocol built on Bitcoin or a semi clone like NEM and NODE? BTC, NXT and Ripple rightfully are valued high because of this but Qpra possibly the best coin among them is worth almost nothing in comparison. Something has to change either the price does a moon shoot or this coin disappears as a scam cause that what it's valued as at the moment, a scam or a clone.

is closed source holding us back? I want people to see the quality of Qoras ideas in his coding. many coins have copied Qora and labelled their coin new source but I highly doubt there are all theses brand new coin, they are either plagiarised of another one or lying completely.

I never understood why the price of Qora dropped so low. With all the shitcoins out there, Qora actually brings some innovation to the table. I guess most people in cryptoworld invest in hype instead of innovation.

Hopefully the upcoming AE will awaken more people to Qora. All I know is I will be holding mine for a long time to come  Grin



I agree. While I don't think we need hype, we do need something out there. Right now, as much as people here would disagree and call me a FUDster Qora looks like a me too NXT clone (clone in feature set sense even if it really is all new code).

It's sad to see this coin worth so much less than Doge. ;(

As far as what new feature Qora should work on next, I really think it should be first a white paper that explains the "all new POS algorithm" and then finally open sourcing the code. I think the lack of information and code is mostly what is holding this coin back. It should be worth at least 500-1000sat at this point.




Two things we need, go open source let the clones come 'if' they do and let that friction bring attention to the original. We won't have a meaningful rally until OS it's a fact.

Second just wait. I have some information that a bunch of very high profile coins on BTT are about to collapse because they are scams. Now I received this information two days ago but I'm sorry but I'm not telling which coins they are. But I'm glad they are collapsing cause some of the so called 'leaders' can be found on their threads pumping them relentlessly. They get what they deserve in my mind. Qora will come out of this next flood of scams looking great.

Which scam the rabbit? Etherum?
