"The Qortal project evolved from Qora."
I emphatically support this true statement.
Beyond this, you are on your own; FUDdy McFUDderton.
Nonsense makes the breadth of this post unworthy of response.
Let's skip to the close, shall we?
"So I'm exposing one point: last year, many members of the core team discord privately to community members: Qortal will soon reach $1,000. Recommend them to buy Qortal.
As a result, some community members bought a lot of Qortal at a unit price of more than $1. But it didn't take long for the price of Qortal to plummet below $0.08."
At the time of this message, QORT is worth about $4.45 USD. I'm going to whip out my calculator because this is one arduous calculation. Those people already hold 445% their initial value.
While this seems positive in a world where 2 percent APR on investment is a standard, every user on this forum with merit knows full well that prices are relative and swings are the norm. If you spent some time here in real communication, you would as well.
Sadly though, you are confused. No core team member ever asked a single user to buy QORT. That is limited to your locus of control. You only know your own evil, after all.
Your description of raging against the Gfactor machine only solidifies this.
We want you to run nodes and we pay YOU for the service. Yes, even you. We do not ask people to buy QORT, silly.
We DO however recommend that you SAVE the QORT you have earned. Our projections are our own but I'll let you in on actual inside information. The gaze is upward.
You even gave yourself a merit point and reply to yourself in your own post to keep it relevant.
What's that like?
Topic: Qortal Blockchain Project - DECENTRALIZED WEBSITES NOW LIVE! - page 3. (Read 14425 times)
The Qortal project evolved from qora.
The genesis node of the project, as their core says, qortal's mint-level account is set up by burning qora and purchasing their equipment.
But there is a lot of inside information.
First of all: their insiders have obtained a large number of five-level accounts by burning qora (this account has mint a large amount of qortal coins in the past year and a half, and obtained huge economic benefits. And a lot of dumping on the btcmax exchange , and fake it to the Chinese community. This is one of the scams.
Second: They sell some devices with built-in level 3 accounts to investors. But all the time people who bought devices in many countries did not receive their devices. Although after a long time the core team decided to compensate those who did not receive the equipment a few hundred qortal coins and tier 3 accounts. But compensation plans that aren't discussed and decided by those who buy the equipment are also theoretically a scam.
Third: At the beginning of the project, some members of the core team traded sponsorship codes because there were very few Level 5 accounts.
The irony: After a year and a half, many accounts minted at level zero are now at level five.
A user's account can now have the ability to sponsor other people's accounts. But the core team believes these tier five accounts are selling sponsorship codes.
So they want to sanction these users and plan to deprive these five-level accounts for sponsorship and mint functions.
Because the core team is afraid: if they don't sanction level 5 accounts, they will mint more and more qortal coins as more and more level 5 accounts become available. This will take the price of qortal out of their control. (Level 5 accounts that use up the sponsorship code in one cycle can mint 6 qortal coins per day. If a sponsorship code is useless, then only 1.4 coins per day can be mint.)
As said before: the qortal core team has been promoting qortal as a decentralized project. But what they have been doing is thinking about how to punish them and change the rules at will. More importantly: without the user's consent, the user's node core is forcibly upgraded online.
At the same time, the core team has a discord user named G Factor QORT#4840, who has spread all kinds of hatred in the community for a long time, causing the community to be in chaos. Implemented dictatorship: he can criticize and abuse other members of the community at will. But as long as those community members rebel against him, he will delete other people's comments and even kick them out of the group.
If you think what I said above is not enough to prove that the qortal project is a scam. So I'm exposing one point: last year, many members of the core team discord privately to community members: qortal will soon reach $1,000. Recommend them to buy qortal.
As a result, some community members bought a lot of qortal at a unit price of more than $1. But it didn't take long for the price of qortal to plummet below $0.08.

Wow, apparently I started... something.
Let's keep the topics to Qortal huh?
Holy crap you guys are something else.
Anyway, to those who are having the issue where the core goes into 'synchronizing' mode randomly, this issue as well as the random transaction submission issues are being resolved over the next couple releases.
We are also changing the PRESENCE transactions used on the Trade Portal, into a protocol-level setup as opposed to utilizing unconfirmed transactions. This should help considerably with scalability.
This same idea will be used in the future most likely for Q-Chat transactions as well. But that part hasn't been started yet.
Overall there are BIG improvements coming in the next couple releases.
We are also planning on adding the mempow to minter submissions very soon.

J don't listen to this guy. He's banned from Twitter, banned from FB, and keeps coming back to Harass report and make photo edits of people having conversations with him. He's "Vlad2Vlad" from Ixcoin.
All he does is go around stirring up drama and people don't really know it at first. He probably came to Qortal because of Traxo's involvement with my team's project I am a member of (Devcoin) and because QuikMythril and Traxo are trying to figure an electrum for Devcoin out so it can be in the Qortal exchange...
He recently got my telegram banned and found another one somehow and sent me a 26 minute psychotic audio message I refuse to listen to. Just report him and hopefully he can't bother you guys in your team's social media.
For reference of telegram:
https://twitter.com/murstrato/status/1500185801463943169
Sorry the Romanian psycho found his way to you. His alt right posts and nazi praise is something else. It's why I stopped talking to Ixcoin devs (not all of which are bad), but HE is poison and all over social media. He always comes back but maybe they can make him set another VPN or something at least by IP bannning. Just take a look at our topic. He creates many accounts that are all him.

I think your issue might be related to port forwarding. Check out the wiki https://wiki.qortal.org/doku.php?id=port_forwardingIf that doesn't work out, ask in the Discord https://discord.gg/MhxRpGyaDD there are tons of smart folks there.
Everything worked fine until v.3. With v.3 and QDN sync start to work terrible.

wrong again.
someone is paying for this. the fact that you are allowed to publicly broadcast your opinion here does not entitle you or your sockpuppet or your buckfuddy or whatever to it.
Sense of entitlement much? Closet Commie...
Wrong again, they’re holding thousands of btc donated when they were cheap but they never used them. We paid for this community with btc and ads. This is a for profit site.
You don’t understand freedom of speech. I can walk up to a cop and tell him my opinion. I call him a corrupt pig.
You think site has more power than cop over me? The only think I can’t do is threaten someone in a serious manner like I’ve been threatened. So I have the constitutional right to insult the president on a public forum. That is a constructional right so you bet your ass I can insult anyone I see fit on a third rate forum, Traxo.
Finally, given you have no clue what freedom of speech is tells me you’re the commie. Only communists have that mentality. Go visit America and you’ll freedom of speech. Sadly it’s censored everywhere except Russian owned Telegram or i’d tell you to observe freedom of speech.
Even here in Romania they mock on TV anc YouTube and platforms the president and prime minister. Guess what, it’s not against the law, it’s your natural right to speak your mind and when I “insult” someone 99% of the time it’s the truth.
Dig up one post where I lied or insulted someone without justification.
There’s your free lesson on the 1st amendment of the US constitution. You backstabbing cunt.
The First Amendment guarantees freedoms concerning religion, expression, assembly, and the right to petition. ... It guarantees freedom of expression by prohibiting Congress from restricting the press or the rights of individuals to speak freely. this why they had to invent hate speech laws cause the constitution allowed you to say anything you wanted to anyone. Racist, bigoted, whatever, that was your unalienable right. But now it’s a felony. Hahaha. I don’t adhere to mandates or anything violating my natural rights, I speak my mind the way I see things truthfully. If I’m wrong I apologize if im not wrong hell will freeze over before I apologize.
Holding hate and grudges - I hope you follow the Bible and avoid mass this Sunday.
no, you are not.

Hey, free speech expert. I was around before ~1992 and I remember real free speech. This was in a magazine and censoring him was unheard of. Try that today. There is no more freedom of speech cause of indifferent pussy PC’s like you. But until the day I die I will speak my mind like it’s 1989. Now here’s a real, a real Catholic who isn’t a coward to apologize after “insulting” millions of people, because it’s his right and opinion and science is actually on his side. But regardless, it was and is his right. That’s a real Catholic.
The Truth always wins. ALWAYS!!! Coward!!!
Apocalipsa969
And Traxo, socks, walls, the trees outside, Silicon Valley, etc don’t help hide you. I see you. I’m gonna stomp on everyone who deserves it. I don’t go after innocent people, only evil, and now you made the list. And I don’t care if they call it hate speech, that violates the constitution and my natural rights. And I’m in a country where they’ll laugh at such stupidity. Good luck - the west is seeing its final days.
China the red dragon is rising and Russia, both will be the new super powers along with the EU if they stop the tyranny. Or if China joins the USSA, UK and Australia, new commie super bloc. But the EU, they’ll stop their insane tyranny against the east block in less than 1 year. In fact, they’ll be our pet dog. Ha.

Wow we crossed 3000 active nodes https://explorer.qortalnodes.live/index.html
-ANN- for those who don't pay attention to Discord/Telegram
There are MANY things in progress right now for Qortal.
The next 2 versions will be very important, and will include a DB reshape to prepare for the AT modifications we are making. (The next version of the ACCT ATs for trading, will 'sleep until messaged' making them MUCH more scalable with less processing and data needed.) This will allow multiple other coins to be listed without scalability concerns.
Also, we will have 'top-only sync' nodes and 'flat file off-loading for full nodes' in the next release. This will alleviate the db size concerns and make the platform essentially infinitely scalable.
Top-only sync nodes will have the entire chain, but 'pruned' with only the full information for the most recent 1450 blocks. This reduces the db size to less than 1GB, which opens doors for many other things as well.
Full node flat files will allow full nodes to offload the older portions of the db to flat files which can be stored on Qortal data when that is live, and will reduce the size of the db considerably as well.
The option to keep the full db SQL-compatible is also still possible, but will require more storage space and will take more time to auto-update. So even if you don't do anything to your node, it will auto-update just fine, will just use more space. This is an option for providers like block explorers, etc... who require access to the older data on the chain. It will also be useful in the future when the db can be used directly as other application databases, and asset chains do the same.
Qortal data storage is VERY CLOSE to being complete. You can see a copy of the Qortal Wiki, hosted on a Qortal node, hashed, stored on the data chain, and tied to a registered name, here... http://node1.qortal.uk:12393/site/QortalWikiDemo
As you can see, the site is exactly the same as it is hosted on a typical web server.
Qortal data will be launched with static hosting support only at first, as that is simpler and easier to secure for the first iteration.
The backend of the data storage will hash every file, and store the hash on the data chain.
cross-communication between the data chain and the main chain will be possible, as name registration will be utilized like a 'domain name' for websites hosted on Qortal.
There will be a 'converter' included in the Qortal UI, that will allow you to input the address of an existing site, and it will automatically convert it to a static site that can then be hosted on Qortal, and host it on Qortal for you.
There will be NO FEES for hosting data on Qortal (public data) - the transaction for putting up the hashes on the data chain, will use the same methodology as Q-Chat, using the memory hard algo to create the tx as opposed to a transaction fee. This will make data storage on Qortal COMPLETELY FREE. You will not need to have QORT in order to use Qortal for storing data. The only thing you will need QORT for, is registering a name if you choose to do so.
The backend of the data transmission will take place just like a .torrent file - the more peers the data has, the faster it will download. It will download and then load locally from your computer.
Every data node that views another website on Qortal, will automatically make a redundant copy of the site, unless the node operator specifically states that it does not want to become a peer for that site. This will make it so that for every data node viewer the site obtains, it will have yet another peer and redundant data copy.
This will end up making Qortal data even faster than the traditional internet, as once a website has hundreds of peers that the data can come from at one time, the data will load extremely quickly.
Qortal will also have the ability to 'follow' a site, all followers of that site will also become a peer for the site's data.
So the more popular sites, will have many more peers, this will be a good indication of the sites reputation as well.
There are MANY exciting things coming for Qortal. At this point, we are estimating that everything on the existing Qortal roadmap will be completed by the end of the year!
- public data storage
- web hosting
- Qortal Git on top of Qortal itself, and the ability for other open source projects to host their Git on Qortal as well
- enhanced Q-Chat functionality using Qortal data, to allow for messages to stay longer, pictures and videos to be sent, etc.
- automatic bootstrapping and top-only sync, and flat file full node db
- sleeping trade ATs (ACCT ATs.) for improved scalability and much less processing each block
- sponsorship improvements and mempow submission for minter signature submission to combat self-sponsorship
and much more!
It is a fantastic time to get into Qortal, and see why we're all very excited for the near future!
Thanks for the confirmation bro. Glad Brooklyn is working out for you.
I am not sure what 1.5.4 has to do with running on a VPS, but more power to you if you want to run another node on VPS along with your Brooklyn-powered Pi.
The hardware company that will be selling the devices (tentatively called 'Crowetic Hardware Development, LLC.') will be formed in the very near future, as we finish prototyping the new fan-enabled (Noctua 40mm, only the best quality hardware and materials used) case, which I can show a picture of...

edit - by the time I finished posting this the company had already been formed. Crowetic Hardware Development, LLC.
Crowetic Hardware Development site has been active now for a couple months, actively selling QORTector devices.
If you can't or don't know how to build your own device, simply order a pre-configured pre-setup device from us! (20% of the profits once the company starts taking profit, will be donated directly to Qortal development Fund. ((DevFund)) )

ANN - Qortal version 1.7.0 auto-update and GitHub release completed!
As stated above, version 1.7.0 of the Qortal Core is now live - https://github.com/Qortal/qortal/releases/tag/v1.7.0
Many improvements, and preparation for version 2.0 - which will have top-only sync nodes (with less than 1GB total size), automatic bootstrapping, automatic import of tradestates and minting accounts when bootstrapped, and much more!
We are very pleased to release this version, and very excited about the near future for Qortal!
Hello everyone,
Just wanted to post an update.
We are currently working on Qortal 2.0! This version will have HUGE ease-of-use improvements, 'infinite' scalability, and much more!
MANY exciting things coming for Qortal by the end of 2021, including Web and application hosting, and public data storage in our own custom data storage system!
Version 2.0 will be officially released in the upcoming week, and a beta version is available now.
Download the Qortal 2.0 beta jar from - https://cloud.qortal.org/s/rgYnbTrrrPpsraA/download/qortal-2.0.0-beta.6.jar
if you have issues with that link you can also use - https://bootstrap.qortal.org/qortal-2.0.0-beta.6.jar
to run new beta simply
-STOP qortal
-DOWNLOAD above file
-RENAME the file to qortal.jar
-REPLACE your existing qortal.jar
-START qortal
**The first run, if you have an existing db, will re-structure your db into the new ARCHIVE format, saving a lot of space. But it takes 60-120 minutes to complete, and requires a little extra space for the process itself.
Simply await the completion... or... if you would like to test out the auto-bootstrapping feature and skip the db archiving process... you can simply delete your db folder, and restart qortal once you have the 2.0 jar in place, and the system will automatically download and extract the bootstrap for you. All you will need to do after that is re-add your minting key to your node.
You can also wait until the 2.0 release and auto-update takes place, however, the more people we have running 2.0 prior to the auto-update, the better. Thanks!

as promised
Qortal 2.0 is now officially released!
Auto-Update will take place as soon as all of the required signatures for the update transaction are carried out. You can choose to manually update now if you like.
New version of the UI will come soon as well. UI auto-updates are currently disabled and being re-built, so UI update will be a manual one until further notice. I will make another announcement when UI update is available.
Enjoy Qortal 2.0!
https://github.com/Qortal/qortal/releases/tag/v2.0.0
Version 2.0 Auto-update transaction has been signed, network should begin updating shortly.
Qortal UI version 1.6.0 has been released!
https://github.com/Qortal/UI/releases/latest
Remember - at this point you must manually update the UI until we get auto-updates working there again.
also - there were 5 contributors to this release, for some reason GitHub is only showing 1...
Enjoy!

There are MANY things in progress right now for Qortal.
The next 2 versions will be very important, and will include a DB reshape to prepare for the AT modifications we are making. (The next version of the ACCT ATs for trading, will 'sleep until messaged' making them MUCH more scalable with less processing and data needed.) This will allow multiple other coins to be listed without scalability concerns.
Also, we will have 'top-only sync' nodes and 'flat file off-loading for full nodes' in the next release. This will alleviate the db size concerns and make the platform essentially infinitely scalable.
Top-only sync nodes will have the entire chain, but 'pruned' with only the full information for the most recent 1450 blocks. This reduces the db size to less than 1GB, which opens doors for many other things as well.
Full node flat files will allow full nodes to offload the older portions of the db to flat files which can be stored on Qortal data when that is live, and will reduce the size of the db considerably as well.
The option to keep the full db SQL-compatible is also still possible, but will require more storage space and will take more time to auto-update. So even if you don't do anything to your node, it will auto-update just fine, will just use more space. This is an option for providers like block explorers, etc... who require access to the older data on the chain. It will also be useful in the future when the db can be used directly as other application databases, and asset chains do the same.
Qortal data storage is VERY CLOSE to being complete. You can see a copy of the Qortal Wiki, hosted on a Qortal node, hashed, stored on the data chain, and tied to a registered name, here... http://node1.qortal.uk:12393/site/QortalWikiDemo
As you can see, the site is exactly the same as it is hosted on a typical web server.
Qortal data will be launched with static hosting support only at first, as that is simpler and easier to secure for the first iteration.
The backend of the data storage will hash every file, and store the hash on the data chain.
cross-communication between the data chain and the main chain will be possible, as name registration will be utilized like a 'domain name' for websites hosted on Qortal.
There will be a 'converter' included in the Qortal UI, that will allow you to input the address of an existing site, and it will automatically convert it to a static site that can then be hosted on Qortal, and host it on Qortal for you.
There will be NO FEES for hosting data on Qortal (public data) - the transaction for putting up the hashes on the data chain, will use the same methodology as Q-Chat, using the memory hard algo to create the tx as opposed to a transaction fee. This will make data storage on Qortal COMPLETELY FREE. You will not need to have QORT in order to use Qortal for storing data. The only thing you will need QORT for, is registering a name if you choose to do so.
The backend of the data transmission will take place just like a .torrent file - the more peers the data has, the faster it will download. It will download and then load locally from your computer.
Every data node that views another website on Qortal, will automatically make a redundant copy of the site, unless the node operator specifically states that it does not want to become a peer for that site. This will make it so that for every data node viewer the site obtains, it will have yet another peer and redundant data copy.
This will end up making Qortal data even faster than the traditional internet, as once a website has hundreds of peers that the data can come from at one time, the data will load extremely quickly.
Qortal will also have the ability to 'follow' a site, all followers of that site will also become a peer for the site's data.
So the more popular sites, will have many more peers, this will be a good indication of the sites reputation as well.

Can confirm, everything is usable.
Last week I setup the Brooklyn on Raspberry Pi 4B 8GB.
Working great thus far!
Tho now since the core got 1.5.4 update you guys might want to set up node on the VPS:
