 =====Welcome To the Qortal Wiki===== =====Welcome To the Qortal Wiki=====
 +
 +=== NEW Minting Methods ===
 +Qortal no longer utilizes 'sponsorship' in order to obtain minting rights on the network. A new system, 'mintership', is now utilized. A community-elected group of users from all over the world, now utilize group_approval transactions to 'vote in' a new minter, or to delegate minting rights to any account. 
 +
 +In order to obtain rights:
 +  * access the new 'Q-Mintership' Q-App - This app is where minting rights and the votes required to obtain them, are obtained by users. 
 +  * Access the 'MinterBoard' - The MinterBoard is the location for accounts to obtain minting rights.
 +  * Publish a 'card' - A card with information about yourself, and links to things you have done, published to QDN, are added to the card.
 +  * Obtain community and Minter Admin votes - Once you have obtained at least 40% of the Minter Admins' votes, actions will be displayed to the admins, allowing them to issue the GROUP_APPROVAL transaction required to invite your account to the MINTER group. 
 +  * Join the MINTER group - Once your card has been invited, come back to the MinterBoard, and your card will be labeled as such, and provide you with a 'JOIN GROUP' button. Click that button and await transaction confirmation.
 +  * Create your Minting Key - There are multiple ways to do this, easiest of which being the 'Start Minting' button in one of the Qortal Interfaces.
  
 The information here is likely a bit behind, as development of the project is moving a lot more quickly than the subsequent documentation process. As of Feb 2025, Qortal has implemented a completely different method of becoming a minter, and multiple new interfaces have been created for accessing the platform.  The information here is likely a bit behind, as development of the project is moving a lot more quickly than the subsequent documentation process.

 The Qortal Extension is a **chromium-based browser-extension** version of the Qortal Trifecta series of interfaces. This extension allows installaion on any chromium-based browser (Chromium, Chrome, Brave, Opera, etc...) as well as potential for authentication and interactivity between Qortal and 'web 2' applications.  The Qortal Extension is a **chromium-based browser-extension** version of the Qortal Trifecta series of interfaces.

-===NOTE===+===NOTE about new interfaces===
 **NONE of the new interfaces above require the use of a full node**, like the 'Qortal UI' (or what is being referred to as the 'legacy UI' does. However, utilizing a full node is possible and still the recommended method of accessing the Qortal Network. Not requiring the use of a full node, allows users to get started 'immediately' without having to install and run a node. This allows easier access to Qortal, and allows users with less proficient technical skills to utilize the network without having to run multiple setups, no matter how simple those setups may be. **NONE of the new interfaces above require the use of a full node**, like the 'Qortal UI' (or what is being referred to as the 'legacy UI' does.
