as far as the answer to your question... as it sits right now, with LTC and BTC support anyway, we make use of the Electrum network.

This means we do NOT need full nodes for LTC or BTC in order to have a local wallet, and issue transactions to the network.


Now, in the future when handling a coin that does NOT have electrum support, this may change. However, as of now there is no concern over size... as we do not need a full node for any of the networks that run with Electrum.



Also, to address that very strange reply...


for one... you are incorrect... we DO have working cross-chain trades with BTC... however, if a seller shuts his node down the trade cannot complete, and thus the trade is listed, accepted, then refunded due to the selling party being offline...

This is the exact reason for the development of PRESENCE. PRESENCE will show the response every 30 minutes, of the seller nodes. therefore, we are able to tell if a node hasn't replied during the last round of PRESENCE transactions, and is likely offline. Then, we put a red dot by the sells that are likely offline, so that users no longer accept sells from offline sellers.

This should dramatically improve the scenario wherein a refund is necessary.

Also, with the change to LTC, we get a MUCH FASTER, MUCH CHEAPER network (LTC network over BTC) to deal with, and therefore we will have trades that are CHEAPER THAN CENTRALIZED EXCHANGES.

We firmly believe the improvements will be VERY NOTICEABLE, and LTC market will really kick things off...

If this then says people will dump... I think that's the silliest response to a dramatic improvement and new version I have seen in quite a while, but to each their own I guess.

No faucet as Minters are vetted by humans. I suggest joining the discord and engaging the community. You can also reach out using Q-chat in UI and lastly go to https://join.qortal.org

Is there a faucet to be able to get started with minting?

Your help is much appreciated!

Thanks for your help!

If you have downloaded the latest version of the core then you could bootstrap faster by
downloading the latest bootstrap database
https://github.com/Qortal/qortal/releases/download/v1.3.9/db-v1.3.9-233404.zip

from the latest releases:
https://github.com/qortal/qortal/releases

The procedure is following:
1) stop your node
2) rename or delete the existing db folder in your qortal folder
3) create empty db folder in your qortal folder
4) unpack the database into this folder
5) restart your core node

If you are on windows you can find the localtion of the qortal folder
by typing into the run terminal the following envarinmet variable %localappdata%

Start -> Run -> (then type %localappdata%) and it will open the qortal folder

If you are on linux then you know already how it works

If you need more help or info let me know.
I hope it will work for you!

hi, I'm syncing the blockchain for 2 days now, but I'm still only at 53%..
Is there a faster way to get up to date?

Thank you, but I can hardly take the credit, the awesome Qortal Community, and Team have been GREAT.

I look forward to this year with great anticipation.

Happy 2021 from Qortal Team!

Hah...


The prices initially before the scam exchange came in, were 1-3 dollars per coin. Since the BTC Trade Portal didn't work out as expected due to being slow and too many refunds from offline sellers...


The REAL PRICE will come when LTC is added to the mainnet.

But I don't ever expect to see 2 satoshi... lol... not with 1.1 million coins in circulation.

Yes, many new services, and plugins for the UI, will be coming to allow more use cases for QORT itself.

First we're looking to have a liquid cross-chain market with LTC, establish a price, and go from there.

Many other services both from the core team and others will begin to show themselves in the near future. I'm sure of that.

[moderator's note: consecutive posts merged]

That's a great incentive for people who trade on shady unregulated, centralized exchanges and not only..

Looking forward to some tokenomics for QORT, though. Don't get me wrong, the QORT blockchain and network is already offering innovative tech solutions that no one else has. Could be a game-changer, but I'd like to see some ways to leverage QORT holdings and boost its value? Bitcoin is a scarce asset by design which is the main value-driver besides being used as a payment method. Maybe the data-hosting and liquidity provider features will have an important role in the ecosystem?

Great work and excited to be here! 

What is the price of this coin at the moment? 2 satoshi or 3?

out standing work crowetic , keep it up

Giving your money away to a scammer who was sued for $200,000 over equipment he never delivered and decided to disappear so he wouldn't have to pay the people he stole the money from.

Research into Burstcoin and how crowetic scammed people out of their money in his city. He was sued for $200k which up to this point he is still trying to pay.

Very excited about all that has been accomplished recently, applause to the Qortal dev team, looks like 2021 may be the year of Qortal.

looks like he lost the access to lemonandfriesone - prly because his therapist made him burn the pw or s.t. like that.

he has been doing this for years now all over the crypto space and now that the therapy has failed he needed to increment the counter.

never mind the moron, spreading corrosion to damage other peoples work is a mental derangement syndrom. These people are sick.

please don't feed the trolls.


-[Announcement]- Qortal Core and UI updates


Qortal Core version 1.3.9

Core update with a few little bugfixes and preparation for LTC in version 1.4.0.

auto-update pushed today, if you are sync'd and you don't have auto-updates disabled, you will update automatically on all platforms.


you can see a blog post I made here about the updates

Linux and Mac users will have to update to 1.3.2 UI manually. Windows should auto-update both core and UI. Everyone should auto-update core unless they have auto-updates disabled.


https://qortal.org/index.php/2020/12/30/qortal-updates-core-version-1-3-9-and-ui-version-1-3-2/


See post for specifics.

The next updates after these, will include the LTC Trade Portal, 3 local wallets (BTC, LTC, and QORT), PRESENCE transactions for Trade Portal sells, and much more.

lol, tell us how you really feel.

-Announcement- LTC and PRESENCE on Qortal testnet - will be opening to community testing today!

As above notes, we are testing LTC and PRESENCE on the testnet now, and I will be opening it up to community testing as soon as few finishing touches are done on the UI.

I will provide a fully pre-configured testnet node, with a sync'd chain (or close) as well as a pre-compiled pre-release version of the UI, that users will be able to run with yarn and node.js installed on their system.


Also, version 1.3.8 is a hotfix version for the stuck block 212936 issue, if you're already past that block, you don't need to worry about updating to 1.3.8, but if you're not, and you are stuck on 212936, the update will fix the issue, and/or the bootstrap I provided in Discord a while back.


Version 1.4.0 will be the release that contains LTC and PRESENCE, after testing on the testnet, we will push it out.

I was asking a pertinent question. Sincerely, your post doesn't make much sense. The capabilities QORT offer to the public are exactly what we miss in the crypto space. Where else can you trade in a true decentralized manner without having to depend on any third-party server or custody (in the case of centralized exchanges)?

thanks Lynnx good luck with the project i hope it does well for all involved. 

     However, what is not a rumor is that this user has used the same face and real name in the crypto space for what is working on the better part of a decade.

That is the opposite of shady.
