After 6+ years of development, the infrastructure of the decentralized Internet of the future is prepared to launch Phase 1 on June 29th 2020!
Active development started in 2016 with the takeover of QORA project. Since then, the QORA codebase has been completely re-written, leaving none of the original QORA code. A completely new platform is born, capable of re-building the Internet entirely, on a entirely unhackable network. Built by the people, for the people!



A Truly 100% Decentralized Concept Unlike Anything Seen Before

Not a single aspect of Qortal’s core as well as core plugins are centralized or require any centralized components. Every person on the network runs a core node and UI application on their individual systems, and accesses the network and services via their own computer.


Qortal’s First ‘Core Application’ is Completed: ‘Q-Chat'

Blockchain-based, Real-Time, encrypted chat platform! Q-Chat is Qortal’s first demonstration of its application hosting aspect. It does not utilize servers for any reason as it utilizes a specialized tx type in Qortal, to send instant messages. Both GROUP and PM messages are possible.



On-Chain Groups System

The Qortal blockchain allows the creation of ON-CHAIN GROUPS WITH ADMINS. These groups can be either public or private, and can be used for multiple purposes. They can be utilized to create 1) a group that is representative of a country for mitigation of illegal content in that country, 2) for those who need to or want to follow ‘the rules’, or 3) for things as simple as public communication groups. There is no limit to the use of the on-chain groups of Qortal. When a group is created, by default a chat in Q-Chat is created for that group. So you can immediately have communication with your group on the chain!


QORT Service Token/Coin

QORT is the name of the Service Token and/or Coin that is the ‘main coin’ of the system. QORT will be utilized to power a variety of plugins (applications) on The Qortal Network, and can also be utilized for trading value, etc. The value of the QORT coin is derived from the power of The Qortal Network, and will be reflected in the Trade Portal, and its markets.


Minting System with Leveling

The method of ‘powering the chain’ in Qortal, is called ‘minting’. Minting is essentially the way you ‘prove yourself as a full node and online’ so that you can be rewarded for helping the Qortal Network grow to obtain further strength and reach. Minting is the first leveling-enabled account type of The Qortal Network. Accounts will gain level on the chain, and be able to utilize that level for the voting system, and anything else in the future that the levels are given extra value to. For now, as you level up by minting, you gain a larger portion of the block rewards as seen below:


Levels 1+2 = share 5%
Levels 3+4 = share 10%
Levels 5+6 = share 15%
Levels 7+8 = share 20%
Levels 9+10 = share 25%


Founders
 are the people whom without the platform would not have been completed. There are a total of only 13 founders who share 5% plus the leftover % from any of the other level tiers that do not have users.

Original QORA holders
share 20% split between them which is based on the amount of QORA held and burned on QORA chain.



Name Registration System

On The Qortal Network, a user may choose to ‘register a name’. What this consists of, is tying a username to the user’s account. So that instead of using a long string of digits, someone may instead use their registered name to send coin, messages, etc. The name registration system will also be used in the future, for DOMAIN NAMES on The Qortal Network. Essentially it will be able to replace the centralized DNS system that the internet uses now.


Group Transactions

In a similar fashion to the method by which the auto-update transactions are carried out on The Qortal Network, other transactions may take place as well. A group can decide upon group creation, how many blocks until their transaction may be approved, and how long an unapproved transaction will sit on the chain unapproved before disappearing. They can also choose how many admins need to approve the transaction, in percentage. For example, in order for an auto-update transaction to be approved, 20% of the developer group on the chain, must approve the transaction within 1 day of the initial transaction being put up. If that doesn’t take place, then the transaction doesn’t ever go out, and the update doesn’t take place.



Asset Issuance

The ability to ‘issue assets’ is a portion of the system as well. A user may decide to create an asset for any given purpose, and issue it henceforth on The Qortal Network. Assets can be used for any number of purposes, including but not limited to re-building the Stock and FOREX trading networks...Securely.



Asset Trading

Inside The Qortal Network, once Assets have been issued, they will also be able to be traded, upon the completion of the Asset Trades Plugin. This plugin will be completed a short time after launch. With the Asset Trades Plugin, users may directly trade their assets within the Qortal Ecosystem, for QORT tokens, and then to any other asset.


Inbuilt liquidity

QORT can be traded for other assets such as Bitcoin or Ethereum, immediately upon Trade Portal Auto-Update.



Completely Decentralized Cross-Chain Trade Portal

The Trade Portal of Qortal, (and what has given Qortal its name) is a ‘market’ where users may trade DIRECTLY from one blockchain to another. The first coin that will be listed on the Trade Portal will be Bitcoin. Soon after the listing of Bitcoin other coins will be added (such as LTC and ETH).



Native BTC Support & Other Decentralized Coins

Other coin support will be added to portal after portal is implemented in an auto-update.


Gen 1 Hardware Device Specifically Designed for Qortal

QORTector network security and node device completed - Gen 2 device in development.


Blockchain Hosted Websites, Communication & Other Applications

This will come in Phase 3 of the overall launch (a few months after Genesis).


Community-Based Voting & Level System To Measure Influence

Voting system is planned for implementation in a future auto-update (a month or so after Genesis).


For The People, By The People With Endless Possibilities!




Background

The codebase for Qortal initially started as the QORA coin codebase. QORA had launched in 2014 and was completely custom written. Since the current team takeover of QORA in 2016, EVERYTHING HAS BEEN COMPLETELY REWRITTEN  along with the addition of many new features or previous features done in a different fashion.

So why is Qortal not QORA?


Unfortunately, there were a number of factors with QORA which made it less rewarding to pursue development opposed to the new Qortal. Factors such as a  slightly messy codebase that made development very difficult in comparison to what we have now and a convoluted amount of coins which devalued the project’s true worth (not to mention an unethical event where centralized exchanges lost QORA holder’s coins and a massive amount of coins remain ‘unavailable’). After considering the flawed aspects of QORA as well as Bitcoin today in comparison to the original white paper, Qortal has and will continue to be carefully designed to provide the world with a 100% decentralized blockchain concept that improves the way we make use of the Internet and blockchain technology!

In 2016, the Qortal team took over QORA development with plans to re-release QORA as QORA2. Qortal was originally conceived to be solely a 100% decentralized trade portal (DEX). However, as time went on, the decision was made to merge the two projects into a single, completely re-written codebase to be called Qortal with ‘QORT’ as the ticker for Qortal’s token.


Qortal is a custom-written and decentralized (fully P2P in all aspects) platform with a core that is capable of a great multitude of functionality.

On top of that, a completely custom web-based user interface (UI) platform that is focused on ease-of-use and simplistic presentation will allow users to easily understand and make use of the complex core with little effort. It will be one of the only completely written-from-scratch projects in the blockchain space. This means it is not a clone of any other platform! There were certain aspects of QORA that were kept, however, nearly everything in the system is completely new. For the portions of QORA that were kept, they were improved upon however deemed necessary to enhance the functionality desired.[/size]


The First Of Many Great Ideas


Those who are in support of the concept of decentralization will certainly be interested in Qortal. The platform is meant to never contain any aspect of centralization! This includes never needing a centralized platform to provide essential services like trading and to be capable of more than any other P2P system that has come before it.

The platform will have a completely decentralized trade portal that allows completely p2p trades in a fashion unlike any done before. The trades actually take place DIRECTLY FROM ONE BLOCKCHAIN TO ANOTHER. There is no need for any centralized control, or even temporary ownership of user coins/tokens. The Trade Portal will allow AUTOMATED creation of SmartContract Controlled Trades, execution of trades in a similar fashion to a centralized exchange, with NO centralized aspect whatsoever. The Trade Portal will be launched in an Auto-Update of the platform that takes place SHORTLY AFTER GENESIS. Stay tuned for updates.


This platform may well begin the process of rebuilding the internet without any centralized control!


The implementation of a fair voting system that is based on contribution by users to the network and its usability by others seems to be the fairest way to ensure anyone can get involved without sacrificing the security and stability a truly decentralized project like this will demand. Especially when it comes to addressing illicit attempts on the network which need to be sanctioned or removed all together. There will be a ‘level’ system on certain account types which will allow the weight of votes to be based on the amount of input the user gives toward the overall system’s functionality and usability. No longer will votes be weighted and based on the amount of coin a user has. We don’t want any person or entity to have the opportunity to manipulate their way into this new design and potentially sabotage the good intent/stability of its conception!

In other words, with the creation of the custom leveling/influence system, comes the ability to build a truly decentralized community-run economic system within the network. The ability to create ‘committees’ of users focused on any aspect of the system that may require some sort of oversight, such as the concept of ‘illicit activity’ is also well within the scope of the platform’s functionality.


Qortal has REMOVED ALL RELIANCE UPON MONEY in terms of a user's 'influence' on the network. Never again will 'money=power'. Within The Qortal Network, users are only as influential as they decide to be, and input the effort necessary to become.

Qortal aims to be the new completely decentralized internet infrastructure, for the future world.

Project Launch Phases Overview


(All Phases after Phase 1 will be pushed in an auto-update to the system)

Phase 1(current phase)Genesis Network Launch, Minter Accounts with Leveling, Voting System, Basic Network Functionality, and potentially Basic Trade Options with BTC, without extensive order books.
Phase 2 Shortly after Phase 1 launch, pushed in an auto-update – Trade Portal addition with at least BTC/QORT market. Taking votes and suggestions on next coins to list.
Phase 3pushed in an auto-update – Data Storage, Data Nodes, Data SuperNodes, Rewards for each based on fees paid by users of the storage, and Web Hosting for client side languages.
Phase 4pushed in a future auto-update – Blogs, Social Media, Communication with Rewards and Levels for content creators.


Features Planned and Status TLDR


Planned Update development status (complete / in progress / not started yet / completion & update estimate)

Trade PortalNearly complete - will be pushed in auto-update shortly after Genesis

QrowdFund Decentralized Crowdfunding with BTC supportBack End and SmartContract Complete with automation of creation – Front End built in QORA; needs transferring to the new hosting method in QORTPlanned for after Phase 2 implementation. A previous QORA application and SmartContract system that allows for decentralized automated CrowdFunding. With added support for BTC thanks to native BTC support in Qortal.

Committees and FundsComplete . Allow users to create funds with shared contribution from Minters or creation of committees (groups) for various use cases within the system, clubs and so on.

Data Storage / Data Nodes and Data SuperNodes with Rewards Planned for Phase 3. Most of the back end work is complete. Rules and some UI work needed.

Decentralized Code Repo (on Qortal itself) Planned for Phase 3. [/b]Hosting the code repo on the platform itself for no reliance upon centralized services for code updates.

Public Decentralized GitHub Repo for Other Projects Planned around Phase 3. Hopefully the first ‘hosted app’ on the platform. Allowing others to utilize Qortal’s decentralized network for their GitHub repos.

Web Hosting – Planned for after Phase 4. Allowing users to host websites on the decentralized network of Qortal. Utilizing the Data Nodes to store the data. Client Side languages supported first followed by support for Server Side; along with rewards for dedication of both space and computer power.

Blogs/Social Media with Rewards Planned for Phase 4. Allowing users to post blog posts and be rewarded for the content. Other users can vote on the content and increase the content creator’s level to receive larger rewards and higher influence. This also needs more thought for the details of the system as far as where rewards will come from/counterparts. Modification of block rewards may be necessary during this phase.

Application Hosting Planned for after Phase 4. This will be the support for applications hosted on Qortal; will require details regarding how every aspect will function as well as how server side hosting and sharing of CPU power/Data required will take place within the system.



QORA Transition


Since the current team took over the QORA development, it was decided that allowing QORA to ‘transition’ into QORT was appropriate. Users who held QORA will be able to ‘transition’ onto the Qortal chain and into the QORT token/coin; QORA will not be usable in Qortal. Burning QORA by sending the coin to the QORA genesis account enables users to obtain Qortal via the QORA Transition.

20% of every block’s reward, regardless of who forged it or whether the QORA Transition User is a minter or not, will be distributed to the QORA Transition Users. The amount of each 20% payment a user will receive is based upon the amount of QORA they burned (giving them a ‘weight’ as the 20% is split among the total amount of QORA Transition Users). The QORA asset on Qortal is given to the Transition Users to denote the total amount of coin they burned. At the point that the ratio of 250 QORA to 1 QORT (250:1) is reached, the transition is then complete and that user is no longer rewarded from that 20% of the block reward for every future block.

USERS WHO DO NOT BURN THEIR QORA PRIOR TO THE QORTAL PHASE 1 LAUNCH AND START OF THE BLOCKCHAIN WILL NOT HAVE A CHANCE TO DO SO IN THE FUTURE! The information must be in the genesis block in order to be executed in a totally decentralized fashion. Therefore, the burn must take place prior to the launch.

QORT (Main ‘Coin’ and Platform ‘Service Token’)


Initial Block Reward is 5 QORT. Block reward occurs on an average of 60 seconds. This number will decrease every 6 months until reaching 2 QORT where it will stay unless voted to modify.
Reward Schedule and Reduction

Code:
[size=13pt]
  { "height": 1, "reward": 5.00 },
        { "height": 259201, "reward": 4.75 },
        { "height": 518401, "reward": 4.50 },
        { "height": 777601, "reward": 4.25 },
        { "height": 1036801, "reward": 4.00 },
        { "height": 1296001, "reward": 3.75 },
        { "height": 1555201, "reward": 3.50 },
        { "height": 1814401, "reward": 3.25 },
        { "height": 2073601, "reward": 3.00 },
        { "height": 2332801, "reward": 2.75 },
        { "height": 2592001, "reward": 2.50 },
        { "height": 2851201, "reward": 2.25 },
        { "height": 3110401, "reward": 2.00 }[/size]


No Total Coin Cap on QORT, every ‘6 months’ there is a decrease in block reward from its start at 5 coins, by .25, until 2 coins is the reward. That is, unless a vote is made with the suggestion of an increase, which is also possible by submission of a proposal in the system and subsequent vote. The potential for an increase of up to 1 coin per block is possible via vote, however, this type of vote can only take place one time per ‘year’ (in blocks).

It has been announced since last year, I think it was summer 2019 when it was being discussed how to go about the burn process.

You claim that burn deadline was announced since last year? No. It was announced 4 DAYS before happening.

This is false, this is why check the dates:

The announcement was back in December 2019, then I burned my Qora. All this time, you could burn Qora and get a Qortal account. You did not follow the project, it is your fault. But you can enter the project now by creating a minting node.

The original deadline was 1 Jan 2020, so to be fair the dev gave the Qora community a 5 month extension for the coin burn.

Oh, I see. Original was 1 Jan. So 6 Jun is fake one. That's why it was announced astonishing 4 days before.

Can someone be honest and diligent and say what is truly happening with QORA?  Is QORA back on point or are there scammers trying to trick people into sending their QORA away?  Please advice with facts and proofs.  Thanks

This leads me to the reason I came here to post today... QORA FINAL BURN DATE - JUNE 6, 2020

We realize that we have changed the date a few times, but that was only because people had pushed me to set a launch date when I didn't really want to, as I knew that it probably wouldn't be exact... as this is how totally new prototype development goes...

Regardless, I set dates (that were missed)...



Great timing. Announcement unbelievable 4 days before deadline. You could do it better announcing it 4 hours or 4 minutes before. Respect.

Thanks for the update, Crowetic! I am very curious about what comes with the project soon after waiting years to see Qora/Qortal's resurrection of the dead Smiley
...

The sentence irritates me a bit. Aren't almost all blockchains based on an SQL or relational database?
With a blockchain that runs on a SQL database, we can easily support applications utilizing the chain, or a separate 'asset chain' that is launched by any person/group wishing to, with its own set of 'rules' goverened by the 'groups' system on the chain.

Thank you... also, so you know, there is NOTHING of the original QORA left, as of 2 weeks ago, we have removed every bit of it, other than the ability to read the broken hash required to get the QORA public keys so we can import and show QORA addresses into Qortal... from Qortal.

We have literally written EVERYTHING from scratch. That might be part of the reason the project took a while to come to fruition.



Also, as far as the db... no... the other databases are NOT like ours. We literally use a SQL db... I know no other blockchain that uses one. If you do, then I am mistaken, however... our chain is much more flexible and able to adapt, we are not 'stuck' to any one thing, like a mining algo. The chain can be updated on the fly by vote of the community followed by submission and approval of the developer group on-chain. With a specialized transaction.

I have plans to allow the creation of assets with their own chains that can be used directly to power applications.

You will see what I mean if you take a look at what we have already.



We have reset the testnet chain, and I posted about it on the blog http://qortal.org.

We are keeping everything pretty quiet as far as public announcements, until we launch the auto-update on the mainnet that will push Genesis and start the forever chain on mainnet.

But if you are in the discord, you will see all the updates, or pay attention to the website's blog for the important updates I post there.


Within the next few days we will restart the testnet again, and I will update the download on the blog (we are not doing it on github for now since we are so actively changing things it is much easier to keep track of this way and allow us a bit more control over the releases until we hit Genesis. Of course the source code is always available, we just aren't allowing the UI to be installed locally until Genesis, since the mainnet chain and the testnet chain are currently incompatible with one another, but mainnet is running to allow people to gain in level for Genesis that will keep the level.

So right now we're a bit all over the place due to the pace at which we're adding new features that require hardforks, and the lack of the hardfork code currently available, since we believe at the moment that would be a waste of developer time.


I am FIRMLY to the point where I am VERY confident. I believe EVERYONE will love th platform, and find a ton of use cases for it. I am truly excited to get Genesis pushed, and allow the world a glimpse of what it is we've been building.

Sure, but other Crypto has a rigid structure. You can Parse the data for BTC into an open source SQL but it will only reflect what each static block represents. That is a limitation utilizing the foundation of any crypto built this way, as a clone is stuck with the parameters of the way it stores its data.

Qortal is not a Clone of anything, not even Qora. Qortal is built from scratch by a CAT with some very sharp claws!

The database for Qortal is SQL and open to all applications to utilize. So you have a base that embeds the Crypto portion and a hash link to an open structure to build on top of for any application to be made. Qortal states this is Phase 3, but the framework is there inside HSQLDB. The devs had it up to 7Million rows as a test but lowered it due to blockchain size. Although, this means that an App may utilize this function locally and store data off chain but link to a hash on chain to verify and secure the data.

If your website is stored locally and references hash on the chain it can not be hacked to change any App that you serve. Couple this with encryption and the database you serve locally is also secure. Unhackable content! The framework would be an App that is downloaded so only TX needs to be sent and no personal data goes across the internet to top it off. Host stores locally and client stores locally TX back and forth on Chain.

-[ANNOUNCEMENT]- The time is drawing near, BURN your QORA to get access to the QORT blockchain transition.


That's right everyone, we are now within 30 days of the official launch of the QORT (qortal) blockchain!

In order for the transition to the new chain to be as seamless as possible, and in order for it to be totally decentralized, everyone who plans to move over to the new chain, must BURN their QORA. We will take everyone who burns into consideration on the new chain, by implementing them into the genesis block of the new chain.

The genesis block will contain the details of every account that burns coins, and the amount of coins they burned.

On the new chain, those records will be used to distribute the QORA asset on the QORT chain.

The QORA asset will then entitle the accounts to a 250:1 exchange of QORA:QORT (I.E. if you burn 1000 QORA, you will be given a max of 4 QORT, distrubuted every block, with 25% of the block rewards of QORT.)

Regardless of being a minter or not, the people who burn QORA, will obtain a piece of every block's reward.

The launch of QORT is currently scheduled for December 1, 2019

We wanted people to have at least 3-4 weeks to be made aware of the fact that the burn is necessary, find the information on one of the QORA information locations, get their wallet set up, and make the burn transaction. Thus, here is the announcement!


-Details-

In order to BURN your QORA, you must send to the genesis address on QORA (which you can see from checking the block 1 block generator here http://node5.qora.org/index/blockexplorer.html?block=1

Been a while, I know... I've been very active in Discord, and with the dev team, building out what we have now for Qortal.

At the moment, we're not really putting too much information out publicly, outside of our communities... But things are going VERY WELL.


Those of you who have been following along, realize how well things are going, as you see the development progress first hand!

We have already done another world first (as far as we're aware, anyway...) with the FIRST APP of QORTAL, 'Q-Chat'!

Q-Chat is a DECENTRALIZED, blockchain-based, INSTANT, FREE chat platform, built directly inside the Qortal UI.

it utilizes a memory-based PoW algorithm, to send FREE MESSAGES on the blockchain, with a totally new tx type meant to be 'temporary, only lasting for 24 hours.

Essentially, you might think of this sorta like 'wickr' of the blockchain. Except, without the central servers, and powered by a PoW algorithm that works about the same on any device.

We are REALLY EXCITED to be as far as  we are into the first phase of the launch, and ARE FINISHING UP THE TRADE PORTAL NOW.


This leads me to the reason I came here to post today... QORA FINAL BURN DATE - JUNE 6, 2020

We realize that we have changed the date a few times, but that was only because people had pushed me to set a launch date when I didn't really want to, as I knew that it probably wouldn't be exact... as this is how totally new prototype development goes...

Regardless, I set dates (that were missed)...

Now, however, I am certain we are VERY CLOSE to pushing Genesis of Qortal, at which time there will be NO MORE RESETS of the chain, and there will be NO GOING BACK.


With as much confidence as I have now, I am able to firmly say... JUNE 6th is the LAST DATE to BURN QORA!


On with the future! On with Qortal!

(we have literally nothing left of the original QORA codebase anymore. The only thing we have now is the ability to translate seeds into QORA-speak, so that we can import QORA address seeds on Qortal. Qortal project is BRAND NEW and COMPLETELY CUSTOM, and I am extremely excited for everyone to see and experience it. It is my great pleasure to have worked with the team that built it over the last 6+ years, and my honor to bring this platform to the world, and be so active in the design and conceptualization of it. I believe wholeheartedly that this project will be MASSIVE, and that anyone who gets involved in it will be EXTREMELY HAPPY they did!)

The new concepts make way for a TRULY FAIR SYSTEM, controlled by vote of EVERYONE, with that vote weight being only reliant upon the INPUT they have put towards MAKING THE SYSTEM BETTER. Minters, can mint on ANY device, down to a tiny ARM computer, a phone, etc... the same as they could on any larger more powerful machine. We have alleviated the 'focus on money' that drives mining, and staking... leaving only a truly fair and honest system, with a focus of a community directed future.

With a blockchain that runs on a SQL database, we can easily support applications utilizing the chain, or a separate 'asset chain' that is launched by any person/group wishing to, with its own set of 'rules' goverened by the 'groups' system on the chain.

The groups system can allow a set group, with admins, decide upon the future of the asset chain and hence db for the application. With a transaction that is controlled by a certain percentage of the group approval, there is no limit to the potential for Qortal to grow.


The only chain in the world built the way it is, with the features it has, and the only chain in the world to launch with a hardware device specific to it, built from scratch with completely new concepts... Qortal is going to MAKE WAVES in the space, for SURE.


If anyone hasn't joined the discord - you should! - https://qortal.org has a link at the top.

Qortal's website also has a blog that I have been doing my best to maintain, but with the speed at which development is taking place now, it is sometimes difficult for me to keep up with everything. So I haven't posted nearly as much as I likely should have... but I am doing my best to post about important things as they take place.


Anyway, just wanted you all to know about the BURN DATE, and the STATE of DEVELOPMENT of QORTAL!

I sincerely hope everyone is as excited as I am, about Qortal Genesis!


We look forward to seeing you all in the Discord, talk soon!

I  have qora on Poloniex and it's disabled, I can't withdraw. What should I do? Thank you.

The same here. Can anyone help us please how to burn our qora that is trapped at poloniex?


This has been discussed several times here. Just use the search.

Since your Qora are literally trapped on Poloniex since years you can not do anything at the moment. You can only hope that Poloniex will support Qora withdrawal when the new chain is created and that the Qora team will make an exception for those who have balance on Polo to burn them later on and to get new balance on the new chain. I don't see any other possibility.
