Title: QORA
Post by: Ander on March 25, 2015, 07:20:30 am
I think there are many good reasons to think that the coin QORA might be in for a huge rise in the coming months.  (Not talking about making 100% here.  We are talking about making 10x or even more). 


Now, I know BTS is really low right now.  I still have all my BTS, and I am not advocating people sell BTS right now.  But we all probably have some fiat, and some BTC, and some other coins, and we can look for some ways to invest those in something that will rise.  Lets face it, diversification has benefits (imagine if you had diversified in various coins a few months back.  You couldve sold ripple and darkcoin at now high prices to get more BTS!) 


So lets talk about QORA.  What is it?

Its a proof of stake variant coin, written entirely from scratch (not based on any other crypto), which has a number of powerful features.
QORA has assets, it has proposal voting, and it is about to have automated transactions (turing complete scripting) added. 
Automated Transactions: http://ciyam.org/at/at.html
QORA and Burst are on track to be the first two coins to have this feature, and it allows developers to create and run scripts.
QORA is on track to be the first coin to have atomic cross chain transfer capability:  http://ciyam.org/at/at_atomic.html

The coin is now open source, and has been verified as being not based on any other code base.
Oh yeah, and the creator is probably the creator of NXT.  (Thats the rumor at least, and the dev acts exactly like the mysterious NXT creator, and also left several hints that he was the same person). 


Alright, so QORA has some features.  Does it have the potential that Bitshares does?  No.  We all know market pegged assets is a big deal, and DPoS is a big deal.
But the crucial difference is that QORA's market cap is only 1% of BTS market cap.   That means that however much moeny you hav in BTS, you can put just 1% of that amount into QORA and have the same percentage stake. 


So why so cheap, if it has these features?  Is this some dead shitcoin?
No.  Its only priced like one.

We have all experienced BTS going through hell recently.  Bter going down and having just btc38 as a major exchange.  The market short order bug, the whales selling, the PR blunders, and so on.

As horrible as all that is, QORA has had it much worse, and is more beaten down, recently being down 98% from its high in dollar terms. 
First of all, the developer left.  The poloniex exchange couldnt get the wallet to work correctly without his help, and has had QORA disabled for months, and then bter went down.  This left 0 working exchanges for QORA and no developer.   You would think that would be *the end*, right?   This is why the price got down to 5 satoshis (as Bter returned but QORA could not be withdrawn yet, and everyone dumped it like mad to get their money out).  The website even was taken down for a while.


But the communtiy organized, and found a new dev, who recruited another dev, and now there is a whole team of devs who just started working on QORA. 
From zero devs to a half dozen within weeks, QORA has returned from the grave.

There is now a QORA team assembled, with 6 devs (five new devs plus the missing founder Qora, who posted that he regrets not having the time to work on it now but hopes to return in the future.

**********************



There is now a new, redesigned website, there is a new wallet release coming soon which should fix the poloniex exchange's issues, automated transactions are coming, a forum is coming, and there is a community marketing team forming, and a slack group created for planning, which is now active.  QORA is also going to be added to the AlcurEX exchange.

Once a coin worth millions of dollars in the summer of 2014 based on its potential, with just one single dev and no features yet developed, QORA is now worth less than 1/10 of that price with a full team of devs and new features almost ready for release. 

Maybe that sounds kindof like Bitshares right now.  But there is a difference.  QORA has broken out of its downtrend and has begun to rise, with major announcements and good news coming soon.  (Except that literally NO ONE knows about them yet, because the QORA communtiy is absolutely tiny right now, and for months has only be one thread on bitcointalk. 


QORA hit bottom at ~5 satoshis in november (when bitcoins were $400).
After rising to 20 on some good news that the developer was back and was converting the coin to open source, and Automated Transactions were on the way, the price then retested the 5 satoshi level (with bitcoin even lower at 250), this month.  in the aftermath of every terrible thing I mentioned early.  The price held again and has begun to rise.  There is very, very little overhead resistance left, as all the bears already dumped their QORA on bter when it opened, and the true believers have been withdrawing all their coins from the exchanges.  Bter's holdings of QORA have dwindled greatly as there community pulls it all into their wallets to wait. 


I hope that it will be some of us in the Bitshares community that profits the most from this coming rise.  Another undervalued, feature heavy, proof of stake variant coin, that no one knows about.  (And while we gripe that no one knows about Bitshares, there is seriously NO ONE out there who knows about QORA). 


Bitshares is going to be low for a while.  First it needs to break this downtrend and go sideways.  Then it is going to have to retest the bottom, and only after that will it begin to rise.  This is a process that takes months.  We have PTS vesting shares begin dumped, and paid delegates having to sell to pay the bills, and all these things drag Bitshares down.  We are in a consolidation period now, where the Bitshares community is shrinking, and those of us who remain are accumulating larger stakes at low prices.  That process will need to play out.  Downtrends are hard to break, and it will take a lot of new money coming from us months down the line before we absorb all the shares from the bears, and break out again. 

I hope that we can all make some profit off this QORA opportunity, and use it to revive the Bitshares price in the future.  QORA is right now exactly where we wish Bitshares was.  Utterly beaten down (imagine if Bitshares market cap had fallen to $3 million - that is the percentage decline we are talking about).  Found a bottom, begun to rise, and with many positive factors pointing upward again.  And hopefully we can all hold on to some QORA long term as well, and support this deserving but unknown coin.


Note: QORA does not appear on Coinmarketcap anymore because its only exchange now is bter, and CMC no longer counts bter.  Yet another reason it is unknown and undervalued!
If you wish to buy QORA, deposit at bter -> buy QORA -> withdraw QORA.  Do NOT leave it there.  Don't trust bter again for more than 10 minutes, keep your coins in your wallet!
Latest QORA wallet is at: http://qora.org/


(Note: QORA has traded in a recent range of 5 to 7 sats recently.  I expect this to change SOON).

Go Bitshares, and Go QORA!

Hey Ander, I'm spending ALL of my time and my own money to help BitShares in every way I can. And here you are on our forum trying to get readers to invest spare cash in a competing project?

How about putting at least a modicum of effort into promoting BTS to the world?

Yeah, I know that you are claiming that we can use profits from your "opportunity" to reinvest in bitshares in the near future - but I call bullshit. Dividing the community's attention and efforts is no way to further this project.

Buying bts? It works great, I have 3x more bts than in the past.

Market manipulation and cheap bts will be over soon, unless btc38 is dumping their customers funds lol. In any case I'm looking long term :)

just want to say ... i'm contact with Ian Knowles (CIYAM Lead developer) and was talking with Dan N. etc about possibilites to add AT to BitShares... but 1.0 is top priority right now!

And yes i'm personally thinking BitShares + AT + ACCT = gamechanger --- but i'm not a technical guy or dev - it's just my personal feeling about!

But yes, Burst and Qora are the first coins out there with ACCT - automated cross chain trading!

Interesting.

It is very tempting to ignore all other projects and focus on BitShares, but as much as I would like BitShares  to succeed that would be a big mistake imo. If you know the terrain you will always have an advantage in battle.

Getting the CIYAM team to add AT and ACCT to bitshares would be amazing.  (After 1.0).
We should definitely do that if possible!

I understand what you're saying.  And again, I DOTN want to hurt BTS in any way, or distract the community. 
I just want to point out a tiny coin that I feel is insanely undervalued right now.  If some of us buy a little, and it goes up, it gives us money to buy BTS, and thats good.

Was really happy to wake up today and see both BTS and QORA way up. ;)

Yea I also spoke with CIYAM guy in the bitcointalk thread and told them they could have delegates but they didn't really respond.. not sure if that guy was Ian though. About the QORA thing... it might be  might not be its 50%/50% up or down, id rather focus on bitshares, its 10x undervalued right now anyways.. and 10x potential on top so theres 100x gain to be had here.

IPO, similar to NXT, with relatively small participation (but more than NXT). 

You can see the rich list here:
http://qora.co.in/?top=100

There is some concentration, but remember that the coin is tiny and has a small community still.
Two of those top holders are bter and poloniex, not individuals, but some are individuals. 

It probably has a bit more concentration at the top than BTS does, and more 1% holders, because there are less holders overall.  It did get distributed some during the 9 months it has been trading, and it recently came back down near the ipo price.

In my completely unbacked and utterly biased opinion BTS should trade for $1-5/BTS when:

- Wallet/DEX are stable/reliable
- Two or three fiat gateways are up
- bitUSD/CNY/EUR/OIL/GLD/SLV books have a few million in depth.

Again, completely out of thin air but based on a fairly sound understanding of current progress on most fronts, I would guess the pop happens in the next two years.

QORA is neat, but the name sucks and neatest bits can be added to BTS...

Poloniex has had wallet issues for months, they need the new wallet version to come out to fix them (its probably related to the fact that they created thousands of user accounts all within one wallet address).  Only Bter is currently trading.

Sounds interesting but if it's so great then why did the original developer leave his own baby?

EDIT: To answer my own question:

"I do not want to abandon this project but at the moment I simply have no choice.

My social and professional life have been damaged too much and I need to recover this while I still can.

Hopefully I can come back soon to continue the development of this project.

Post by: Ander on March 25, 2015, 09:07:37 pm
The developer abandoned his own baby for the same reason he abandoned NXT probably.  He was gone for months multiple times and the price would rise 300% when he returned and then drift back down when he disappeared again.  Anyway, the dev abandoning it is the main reason it got super cheap in the first place.  The reason its a good buy is that has acquires *several* new devs now to replace the creator who left it, but the price has not yet gone back up to where it was when it had a developer.

Is it based off of satoshi's blockchain implementation or? Anyways only way I see it sustaining any rise is if there is real world usability and integration other than jus tpromises and empty shells of projects just sitting there because noone finds them useful.

It should be on Alcurex (https://alcurex.org) soon and I've corresponded with "Beorn" at ShapeShift, but it's still just under consideration. As mentioned Poloniex should have their wallet issues fixed "soonish" and once cross-chain transactions prove themselves who knows how many projects will jump on board. It's always zero to m00n, play your hand accordingly.

I don't want to sell any anymore. :P

I had been trading Qora on polo, sell@9, rebuy@7 to increase my Qora and buy a bit of BTS.  I was going to send half of it to ccedk and do the same thing there. 

But now with the pump my whole trading stash is gone.  I am going to hodl what I have left and wait for order of magnitude price increases before I sell more.

I'm going to send some btc over to ccedk and try to rebuy some at 12 or something, but don't expect a sell wall from me. :)  I don't have any more that I am willing to sell.

The new social network features have changed the game.  Qora could become decentralized twitter and reddit now.  I didnt see this coming at all, the Qora devs have shocked me!  I was just happy that it was alive again, but now it looks like it could be a top 10 crypto, maybe top 5. 

Qora could be a 100x in 2015.

Isn't qora just putting the website in a data field within transaction? so the site is stored on the chain, while maidsafe was using more clever techniques such as storing the hash of the file instead of the file contents? and/or using distributed cloud techniques?

If true, bottom line might look like qora is a winner but qora's implementation in that case would take 1 day to implement that while maidsafe would take months to iron out, which is probably why its priced in as 1/40th the marketcap.

If true, bottom line might look like qora is a winner but qora's implementation in that case would take 1 day to implement that while maidsafe would take months to iron out, which is probably why its priced in as 1/40th the marketcap.

Tuck was being slightly facetious. Yes they are completely different beasts attempting to accomplish somewhat similar goals in different ways. Qora finished their web server in a short time (born out of an idea that came in a matter of hours) and MaidSafe is still giving monthly updates on progress (after 6+ years). I believe it was a decision born from the question "which one will double me up (again) in the shortest amount of time".  He's had a lot of success with MAID in January, April and again this month so ... rinse & repeat. ;)

Just to let you know @ccedk - the Polish translation is not of the highest standard. I mean it is grammatically correct but sounds quite artificial and sometimes a bit awkward.
e.g. "community" is translated as "society".

arhag, who runs the block explorer, probably just needs to resync. it happens from time to time.

Make sure you're using the latest version of the client ... https://github.com/Qoracoin/Qora/releases

After making sure you have your Seed/Password you can delete wallet and data folders and resync. It usually solves all issues. You can grab the latest chain to save time ... http://qora.co.in/?datafolder

I can't get the wallet to function reliably.  I've tried on 3 different computers  windows and linux . 

It seems ok for a moment but moving from tab to tab it eventually bogs down and freezes.

It syncs up but left to itself it invariably loses connection and gets stuck.

I've started from scratch dozens of times and its the same result every time.   I was hoping to get it to forge blocks but with all the above issues its not happening.

I like the possibilities, but currently the wallet is pretty terrible.  Maybe its just me though.

I downloaded the qora client and gave it a shot. This convinced me to grab a handful from ccedk, where I now have a deposit pending.

The thing that stood out to me most was the complete lack of any kind of forum. Perhaps this is built into qora itself on their decentralized internet?

From what I've been reading tonight, QORA has a lot of potential but it strikes as completely lacking any kind of community, or am I overlooking it?

I figure 12 satoshis is a good price to buy a couple litecoins worth. With a market cap of what, ~200,000 there's SO much room to grow. I would say they need to implement a forum asap.

What exactly is the naming service? I found the decentralized web browser and server, but how do I go about accessing this social network?

Found it. It seems like more of a chatroom than a forum though. I'm a little lost because I've grown accustomed to doing a large part of my due diligence for a crypto in their forums.

Qora used to have a forum, but no one used it. Right now they are building a decentralized social media, so that is where the focus is. You may see a forum of sorts on the blockchain one day along with a Youtube, Reddit, Dropbox, etc. They already have a Facebook.

The community is a small group of longtime hodlers, a bunch of new devs and whoever's purchased in the last few months. =)   There's never really been much of a marketing effort, it's more of a, "here's our badass blockchain, stick around if you like", situation.
