v0.26.4 released which should fix the JSONObject cast error pop-up that's stopping some people from starting their QORA client.
Available (as always) via github at:
https://github.com/Qoracoin/Qora/releases/tag/0.26.4Feedback appreciated! Hopefully two more bugs squashed.
Uninstalled the previous version manually (there was no automatic uninst. option).
Preserved the wallet and the blockchain. Did not remove the data folder.
Installed 26.4
Took some time to load - 10 min.
It picked up the syncing right where the previous prog had been dropped (see previous feedbacks).
Took a few hours to finish the sync.
After full sync, the next relaunch was successful, forging ok, wallet locked, unlocked ok.
Well, seems to be working ok right now.
I would have dropped the whole idea, if there were more of the bugs again, patience and time being limited. )
So, there is the obvious need for the greater number of the devs, incentives, community involvement, thus discord, telegram, roadmap with clearly outlined dates. Otherwise some other team could implement sooner what you have in mind )
We are not worried, QORA is very unique. Sure, someone else could attempt to take it and do something with it, but it still won't be QORA, it won't have what QORA will have, as QORA will be the one and only with the ideas we have in mind.
Do not fear, is what I'm saying I suppose.
We have the right people doing the right things. We are open to others, if they're in for a long-term project looking to provide real technical merit.
We are NOT worried about competition, we are NOT worried about 'doing what we're supposed to do' to 'keep up with the nonsense trends' (or did you not say nonsense?) heh.
Anyway, there is no doubt in my mind of what QORA will be, I have no intention on rushing any part of it. I will continue to say for the people attempting to push things faster than the pace at which they are meant to go... if you are unhappy with the pace, there's always another place.
We are here to build something great, we are not here to build something to get everyone rich by doing nothing, we are not here to prove any measure of anything to anyone. We are here to make a great project into what it can be. That is all.
Anyone else is free to submit ideas and whatever they feel necessary, they are also free to push QORA to get wherever they please, as for the rest, and what our team in particular is doing, we will go at the pace at which makes sense, and do what we feel is best at the time we feel it is, and that's that.
I have no doubts whatsoever of what QORA CAN do, and no doubt it WILL. We simply make it happen one step at a time, no need to get ahead of ourselves.
First, we make it very stable, then we start working on new features and additions to other exchanges, along with teaching people how to trade on OpenLedger, as I DO believe it is still superior to a typical exchange, and anyone who 'doesn't use it' is simply 'too lazy to figure it out' and maybe with a few simple how-tos, they'll learn.
I also think that with a little work, we can make QORA's exchange, into one that could potentially trade BTC and other tokens. With the help of smart contracts and other nodes, we can build a node-based decentralized exchange, but this is an 'ahead of ourselves' type idea, so we'll talk more on that later.
