Just wanted to post here as I haven't been paying attention to the thread.
there have been TONS of updates on Qortal.
Stay updated reading the wiki (which has also been updated as far as style considerably) -
https://wiki.qortal.orgThe OP right now has some image outages due to my old cloud server having a drive problem, I am seeng what I can do about that, but I may need to make new images as I don't think I have another backup of those... maybe on some old backup disk somewhere... will have to look.
But just because the post topic here isn't being updated actively, does NOT mean there isn't a TON going on with Qortal. Because there IS.
Newest Q-Apps now running on Qortal's decentralized/distributed/encrypted/chunked data network (QDN):Q-Mail - now live, and not only live, but now has 'Threads' and encrypted group messages within them. (Threads are essentially 'message boards' where you can post in private Qortal groups) VERY cool. Threads also have Q-Chat on the right side, so you can chat and message in threads at the same time, VERY productive environment. Development chat will be moving to Q-Mail after the next couple performance and scaling focused Qortal Core updates.
Q-Shop - Q-Shop is now live, allowing users to create and manage multiple Q-Shops. List items for sale in QORT, and buy/trade completely P2P. Addition of Qortal-AT-powered decentralized automated Escrow will be coming in the future.
https://qortal.link/APP/Q-ShopQBrighteon - Mike Adams of brighteon.com has contracted our assistance in building QBrighteon, the Qortal-powered Brighteon. At the moment there are two-channels from brighteon.com being auto-published on QBrighteon. Health Ranger Report, and BrighteonTV. More channels will be coming in the future, as well as the ability for users to publish videos.
https://qortal.link/APP/QBrighteonEar-Bump - Ear-Bump is a Q-App focused on being a music platform (basically a decentralized version of Spotify) - Ear-Bump allows playing and publishing music, creating playlists, favorites, and more. Very functional and awesome.
https://qortal.link/APP/Ear-BumpQ-Blog - I don't know if I have already mentioned Q-Blog here or not, but... Q-Blog is Qortal's first 'social media' focused Q-App. Publish videos, text, music, files, images in a blog-like post, even with a custom 'builder editor' that allows placing your post content exactly as you like. In the longer-term Q-Blog is going to become a fully featured 'web builder' that allows addition of 'blocks' of HTML/JS content, to create fully featured web presences from within Qortal.
https://qortal.link/APP/Q-BlogQ-Fund - Q-Fund is Qortal's decentralized/automated AT-powered CrowdFunding (QrowdFunding) platform, which is currently
in development and will be getting launched in the near future. Stay active in the community for continual updates. Q-Fund will allow people to create and fund their projects with the power of QORT and Qortal ATs.
Latest interviews and podcasts Recently I did an interview with 'Crypto Jesus' of the 'Crypto Fun House', and I published a slightly improved version of that interview on Q-Blog (without the additional mirrored content, and chat messages)
You can find that through the 'public gateway' (allows access to QDN-hosted content from 'the internet') here -
https://qortal.link/APP/q-blog/crowetic/blog/crowetic-Crypto-Jesus-in-iUq0IRThere will also be another Brighteon interview getting published soon that was accomplished a month or so ago. Stay updataed with the weekly 'Qortal Think Tank' chats As the project is developing at a very fast pace, one of the simplest ways to stay updated is to jump into the Qortal Think Tank chats we do
EVERY WEEK at 10AM PST on TUESDAYS.You can join that call at that time here - (Qortal 'cloud' nextcloud server we use until Qortal has real-time voice/video/screenshare capability) - https://cloud.qortal.org/call/2oxmnpkeThe Think Tank is recorded and you can find the videos from previous ones published on Q-Blog as well, here is the main Think Tank Recording Q-Blog link (again through the 'qortal.link public gateway' - All of the QDN-hosted content can of course be accessed in a TRULY DECENTRALIZED fashion directly on your machine running the Qortal UI and Core. As it should be.) -
