Did you fork the XZC codebase or what is PHORE based on? Also, how does PHORE compare to XZC?

True, I didn't think of that. Maybe images could be blocked if CP was the reason for the flagging? Then jurors could take the risk of viewing or judge based on text.

It's a difficult subject for sure.

this is nice promotions and a chance to get free Phore,,
i smell a silent giant in the future in this coin
Good luck dev

I like your ideas, but this is a tricky one. To judge whether a flagged item should be removed, the panel members would have to view the item in question. In case of child pornography or other illegal items, just viewing them in order to judge might be illegal in itself.

I know I wouldn't want child pornography images in my cache and browser history and whatnot, even if it is for a good cause...

Here's my answer to : "what you would like to see on our upcoming marketplace?" comp.

I would like purchases to be displayed in dollars and Phore separately (eg. you click to buy a pair of shoes in $ and it calculates how much Phore you need on checkout). I think if the price was only displayed in Phore there could be the danger of Phore getting pegged to the dollar psychologically.

I would like arbitration to be more thorough than OpenBazaar, I also dislike Particl's proposed MAD escrow, in OpenBazaar they assign a 3rd person at random to decide who's in the right this is Okay but it allows unscrupulous people to set up extra accounts to be their own judge and jury. Instead I propose a panel of 5 (odd number allows a deciding vote) to vote and this panel must be made up of people who hold a minimum amount of Phore in their client (say 200 to start) to prevent abuse. For scalability this amount could be adjusted by governance as the price of Phore rises. I would also like these "jurors" to be paid for their service, small amounts per vote to incentivize them to do it.

I would like the same system to  be used to prevent child pornography or stolen credit card details. Anyone can flag an item for removal, but then a panel of 5 random people vote whether or not to remove it.

As to where the money could come from to pay jurors, maybe a small amount from the transaction, say 0.5 Phore (0.1 for each juror) adjusted for scalability.

Because the wallet back in 2014 was old, only PoS 1.0. The name was dated, needed a fresh start.
And it was decided by the majority who were still around to rebrand.

Now has a good base, it can move in it's own direction, and has the governance and budget to do that!

Some of the more modern features are easier to implement this way.

Now that they have been implemented, Phore can go its own way.

It's easy to judge a project this young by calling it meaningless, a clone etc.

The hard part is actually getting involved and becoming a Phore.

I do not understand the meaning of this project? Proof Of Stake and Masternodes it is certainly good, but you worked on KryptCoin from 2014, and in 2017 forked another project and call it rebranding. Why?

Did you read the AMA? Most of the main features are there:

Check the Phore project Github, there's some very interesting recent activity. It's not just your regular masternode coin.

Nice to have been made aware of Phore. Definitely see potential here. First zerocoin implementation and later on segwit. Phore might be the hidden gem that everyone is looking for in crypto. I will buy on the next opportunity, even if I have to register at cryptopia...

Awesome, thanks for your help. Will refer to you RPI Guide, much appreciated!

Can you tell me why PHORE (PHR) is unique vs. so many other coins?  And yes, I have read the whitepaper. I just want to know why you invest in this coin/team and what makes it special for you. thanks!

For those who have a dynamic IP at home, you can also secure SSH port 22 to just your own (dynamic) IP by using this awesome script for ufw: https://gist.github.com/bobmoff/11328672
The only thing you need is a dynamic DNS service for the hostname (noip, dyndns, ...).
I'm using it too and it works really great, let it run with cron every 5 minutes, it removes the old IP and adds the new one.

Yes, I have one running there which is free for a year with their EC2 free tier service, at least for the first VPS if you're not already using EC2. The instructions are almost the same as the masternode setup walkthrough that uses Vultr as an example. The changes to those instructions are:

1. The provisioning of the VPS of course has a different interface, just choose the same size and version of Ubuntu listed in the masternode guide, pretty straightforward.

2. Logging on to the server is a bit different, since AWS requires you to use their SSH private key instead of providing a root password like Vultr does. AWS gives pretty good instructions on how to download the private key and connect with it when you click their Connect button.

3. Since you connect as the ubuntu user instead of root, put sudo in front of all of the commands--the instructions for Vultr only put it in front of some of them. Also, IIRC, when I ran the 'phored -daemon' command to launch the masternode, I had to use 'sudo ./phored -daemon' instead.

4. The firewall configuration (ufw commands) has to also be applied in the AWS interface by adding the same ports (22 and 11771 TCP) to a security group and applying the security group to the server. If you have a static IP on your PC you can restrict SSH to just your IP address, or you can set it to allow SSH from any IP address. For 11771 you would want to allow that from any IP address, just like the firewall configuration in the guide.

5. On AWS, the external IP address is not one of the ethernet addresses on the server as they have internal network addresses, which requires a modification in the masternode phore.conf file. First, type the command 'sudo ifconfig -a' to get the outward facing IP address (not 127.0.0.1--the other one), and use that address on the bind= line in phore.conf on the VPS. The other lines still use the external IP address shown in the AWS control panel.

Otherwise it follows the same steps in the guide and worked flawlessly for me. Hope that helps!

Ask in the Phore Discord masternode channel, if anyone knows they'll answer you there.

Hi Everyone!

The Phore team is expanding, we are accepting proposals from marketing experts to help grow the Phore community!

Also, we're now looking to also add more Devs to the team! Specifically people with c++/python/go  experience. DM me or stop by in the discord https://discord.gg/7sv6ErF

is there any way to set up a masternode on amazon aws?

Yep, just the RasPi. But as mentioned, running a MN only really works if you have a static IP. With a dynamic IP you would need to change the config file and restart the MN every time your IP changes.
