I get what your saying, and we all signed up for Kora, a clone of Qora.
Just saying Qora isn't doing all that great.
NEM started off with the same intention, to clone Nxt. If they did that, they would have been tiny, like NAS.
Just saying no one thought Kora was going to be some top ten crypto. That's for sure. But its going to be great and fun. It has a great community already. This happened with NEM. They did the switch, decided to write the code from scratch. Yes, of course they still used a lot of the same stuff in the code where it made since, but also made their code, their own, and became not a copy of Nxt, but took their inspiration from Nxt.
NEM will launch in the top ten of all cryptos.
Just saying, if you have the skills to write Kora it's own code. You would make history. Kora would be BETTER than Qora.
You would have a great community behind you. And if you can do it, and have the time, I'm sure the Kora community wouldn't mind you using the amount of stakes saved for the dev fund with NEM as a yardstick for Kora.
Just saying, you might surprise yourself, and come up with something even more unique than originally planned. Think about it. You would be compensated well for doing this for us. (See NEM Development Contract for reference)
Anyway, whatever we do, I am happy to see such a great and talented person as yourself becoming a part of this community, in such an important role!!!
Thank You,
Chris
Hi Chris, thank you for your insightful comments. I can't say I disagree with you on any of those points, except my vision is for Kora to be a top-ten crypto
Correct me if I'm wrong: Your suggestion seems to be "hybridize the code", making it part original and part rote, and that would split the difference?
Building this idea out a bit, we could clone parts of a coin, the "mission critical" parts such as staking, algorithms, etc. This is the stuff that it makes no sense to write from scratch, because the security implications will drag out the testing, delivery, and make it subject to code review requests. By cloning the critical parts of a "known good" coin (or coins), we dodge a few time-consuming bullets. Then, we would build a working proof of concept, and use that as a jumping off place to start innovating.
I will add this to the project plan, as a candidate solution to the issue of cloning Qora. If you could confirm I have correctly interpreted your suggestion, I would appreciate it.
If anyone sees any problems with such an approach, or has any addendums to this suggestion, speak up and I will incorporate them into the plan.
kind thanks,
