Nice work guys!!

Veterans are back? Orr... never even left? Cool!

This looks amazing. Your dev dmax must be earning good rewards for his work. One person doing it all or he has other engineers working on that?

-UPDATE- New kernel for router, increased performance by 10x or more!

Our hardware dev gave me an update today, the new router kernel now out performs a 24 core XEON in Java performance.


Here is Xeon X7550 32 core at 2.0Ghz DES crypt benchmark -




Here is the H6 QORT Router 4 cores at only 1.8ghz-




Also entropy comparison between a raspberry pi and QORT Router...

Some more proof of the Qortal testnet running on the QORT Router...

I know right, and honestly, I don't know how I managed to find and assemble the massive amount of genius we have on the team... pretty incredible.

Thank you, that was somehow magic that came to be with me somehow making it happen, getting all these brilliant people to work together to build something incredible.


Just wait until you see it all come together. I'm VERY stoked.

There is a coin on the custom blockchain this device is built to run. The announcement is here because it is tied to the 100% custom blockchain/coin that it is meant to be a node for.

the ANN for the Qortal project itself will be soon to follow.

Your hardware guy dmax is a pure genius. I googled for the most trickiest questions for him in DM and he nailed them far beyond the knowledge base. Where do you find such geniuses?   

I think we are in Altcoin -Announcements section...
and I don't see any coins offered here, but maybe I am missing something.

Project looks interesting, but maybe it should be moved to proper section

also, so everyone is aware...


WE ARE STARING THE PRESALE, NOW.

I realize that I didn't post dates in the original post, but yea...

The pre-sale is active now! We will use the presale funds to purcahse the hardware, and get them built. If there are too many orders we have manufacturers ready to build more devices.

If you are interested, please make your interest known so that we can being the actual planning for the hardware orders, and 3D printing.


QORT itself is launching at the end of the month, so we need to get the presale stuff going immediately.


apologies if I didn't make this as obvious as I should have initially.


Also, the presale donator purchases, who would like to donate to development on top of the presale purcahse itself, will be rewarded with minting accounts that begin between level 1 and 5, thus allowing them to immediately earn QORT rewards on the network at launch, and skip the 'delegation to become a minter' process entirely. This will be the only time that such a skip in that process will be possible. So get your donation package if you're able and interested!

Correct, the minters on the network are associated with a 'level' that denotes their 'status' in the platform.

In order to become a minter, you must first 'prove yourself' by way of 'delegation' to an existing level 5 or higher minter, and/or a founder account.

By way of this delegation, and blocks going by with your account sync'd and live... you earn the right to become a minter on the network.

As a set number of blocks goes by with your account in this state, you then get the title of 'level 1 minting account'.

As a level 1 minting account you are entitled to 5% of every block reward, split evenly between all level 1-2 minting accounts.

As time goes on, and blocks go by, as you stay a full node, sync'd, and minting... your level increases.

As that level increases, so does your portion of the block reward obtained, as well as your level of influence in the votes placed within the system.

So not only do you earn more, your 'voice' counts more.


Minting accounts are the first account type in the system when it goes live, as we will first focus on making the network as vast and strong as possible. The minter account type is the first to be enabled with the leveling system as well. Therefore will be first account type to be able to cast votes within the system.

As time goes on, more account types that are capable of leveling themselves, will be implemented. Such as 'liquidity providers' that I have described above.

'data nodes' and 'data supernodes' will be future account types with levels assigned to them as well as special properties and rewards they obtain.

at level 5, you can then 'accept delegates' to both create new minters, and also form 'funds' and 'committees'.


'committees' will be used for things like 'verification of content' on the chain that should be able to be public, ensuring that we don't get assholes trying to fill the network with garbage or things that we would not like to see. You may join a committee once you reach level 5, but you may also be voted out of the committee if it is determined by the community that you are not performing your job correctly, so you must maintain upstanding position and function as well.

a lot of this is still in concept phases, and the final word in the code isn't there yet, so it is subject to change, at first we will launch the network, and minting accounts, and get things moving, get the QORA people  transitioning into QORT, and get the network strong and vast with as many full nodes as possible.

Chain trimming is also implemented so that the chain size shouldn't cause anyone to be forced out of being a full node, and thus leaving the network very strong with a multitude of full nodes. Essentially we would like any user to be utilizing their own full node as opposed to relying upon another. We believe that is a big issue in BTC, and many other coins are heading the same direction. Not having easily setup and rewarded full nodes, is a big issue we believe our 'minting system' will help to solve.

We thank you for your assistance.


We also would like to bring up the option for anyone to either provide a loan or a donation to the team, as we all do this out of love for decentralization, and as we all know, sometimes that love has a hard time paying bills. We are doing everything we can to keep every 'full time developer' full time on this project, which is hard to do without capital.

Donation to the team can be given towards the same addresses above for the router, and/or a router project donation that entitles you to a minter account at a specific level, as well as first access to the future router versions, and other hardware we develop.

Thank you in advance for any contributions, and if you have other ideas you would like to speak to me about, please reach out in discord I am always around and will get back to anyone who reaches out!

You can also PM me here if you like. Thanks!

Correct, both on the low power consumption aspect, as well as the 'DEX', though, we are not calling it a DEX, as we do not want to be lumped into the same category as the other so-called 'DEX' that are not really decentralized.

Our platform, instead of being centralized and pretending it isn't... actually isn't.

The sync'd chain will give you access to the trade portal built into both the backend and UI of the QORT blockchain platform. With it, you can make automated cross-chain trades. Initially the only supported coin will be BTC, which is natively supported in the platform. With that native support, one can place a trade (stored on the blockchain in a similar fashion to how the asset trades are within the asset exchange on QORA) and execute the trade with another party, COMPLETELY P2P and CROSS-CHAIN.

Therefore, there is no central website you must access in order to make this trade system possible, and not a single entity that will ever have any control over the coins taking place in the trades.


The trade portal still has a bit in the way of development to be completed, so it will be implemented in a future release, shortly after the launch of the main network, minting, etc. We need the network to be strong prior to the launch of the portal, and there are still some remaining development aspects in the UI that need to be addressed, so this launch will take place a short while after the core network launch.

However, the core functionality, bitcoin core, and cross-chain trade capability is already there in the core of the existing platform, which will be launching at the end of the month.


The trade portal, will be 'supported' by what are called 'liquidity providers'. Those liquidity providers initially, will be those that put up 'buy support' on the BTC/QORT aspect of the portal. (Essentially, those who put up BTC to support those who wish to sell their QORT tokens as opposed to utilizing them in the system for one of the various services they can activate.

Liquidity providers will be rewarded by the 'fees' associated with the trades taking place in the portal. The 'fees' are a slight modification of the order placed, in order to provide the fee that will keep people interested in becoming liquidity providers, and thus making the portal a usable trading system.

Those same fees will then be distributed directly to the liquidity providers, thus giving them a reward for their efforts and financial aspects going into being said liquidity provider.

Since we all know, liquidity is something that makes or breaks a trading system. It is immediately important. Therefore at the launch of the trade portal, so too will the launch of the liquidity provider account type. Which will also be assigned a level, and will get rewarded by the fees in accordance with that level.

We are probably also likely to include the liquidity providers in a portion of the overall block rewards too, at least at first, so that they have even more incentive, even when the portal is still gaining traction, and users.

Let me know if you have any other questions and I will gladly answer them for you. Bare in mind that the entirety of every aspect of this massive project, may or may not be fully decided yet, and may or may not be in its final stages before being finalized in the codebase. So essentially *much of what I say is subject to slight modification prior to final version being solidified in the word of the code.*

Yes, as this has essentially been my life's work for the past 5 years or so, with all coming up with ideas, figuring out how they could work, finding the right people to be able to accomplish the goals, etc... it has been a hell of a ride. Now being so close to the initial network launch, and being able to start the router presale, I'm undoubtedly extremely excited. We firmly believe this to be a project that anyone who loves the original bitcoin concepts, and decentralization overall should very much enjoy... as we have ensured the fact that no central authority at all is required for the platform's use or success.

Yes, CIYAM is incredibly brilliant, and we couldn't have gotten this far without him, his ideas were essential in creating the overall concepts we have come up with, and of course, his efforts in development are second to none. The ACCT cross chain trading as well as the storage concepts and design, were all him. We're extremely honored to have a person of his caliber willing to help us along the way. While asking for nothing other than the recognition he most obviously deserves.

He's an incredible asset and we're honored to be working side by side with him.


Thank you @ comments on my excitement and overall jubilant nature regarding all of this. I am very pleased to finally be able to get the word out publicly regarding all of the brilliant minds and effort from them that has gone into this project.

Best to join their Discord and ask them. I see them online usually.

i just saw that there is minting account that has a level, can you explain it how that minting account works? and how long will the presale ended?

Did you already make an order for this Ice? The pre-sale has not started yet so how?

I have supported this team for a number of years waiting for this break through and launch.  While I haven't been as active in crypto as past year I did provide the team with a financial loan (yes properly documented) that allowed for the development of this project to continue to happen so that daily operation expenses were covered.  As a result I'm hoping for a wildly successful project that rivals the BitMain Ant-Router in terms of deploments. 

Minting is a concept that finds a happy median between PoS and Uptime.  I'm looking forward to being one of the "founder accounts" as I wait for delivery of my hardware.

From what i understand is that this project has physical low power usage yet fully capable hardware selected for Java and minting process. That's really a smart idea to earn with such low power requirements. Every device will be your own DEX? What qualifies you for that form of consensus? Interested to know more details about this. Tnx.

damn, i can tell your really passionate about this, i LIKE IT  
checked out the YT interview, the wiki as well, looks like pretty much everything one needs to know is on there, excellent. I especially like "the_router_presale" page, VERY informative hehe
CIYAM has been one of my favorite people to follow on this forum, from ever since i was a super noob, happy to see him on the team

So for some reason my first response that you quoted Crowe was deleted by a forum mod here?  Any ideas why?  Maybe cause I'm a new account?  Super lame.  I am not a bot or spam, legit human being here who has followed this project and finally JOINED Bitcoin talk after 4 years working in crypto to support this project...
