 =====Welcome To the Qortal Wiki===== =====Welcome To the Qortal Wiki=====
 +The Qortal wiki is an ever-evolving repository of information related to the Qortal blockchain Project. 
 +
 +Qortal is a completely unique, community-driven and developed blockchain platform that provides an alternative to the digital infrastructure of the world. Qortal provides a system that is:
 +
 +  * Truly P2P in every way - no middlemen of any kind
 +  * Not able to be 'stopped' or 'die' like other projects, as trading is built into the network's tools.
 +  * Able to publish data, applications, and websites on 'Registered Names' on the platform.
 +  * Able to provide feeless hosting for applications, websites, and data.
 +  * Able to provide means to create a truly individually sovereign digital future for the world.
 +  * Combined economic platform and digital infrastructure for communications, hosting, and blockchain-based security and authentication.
 +  * Unmatched by any other platform in the world. No other exists that can do what Qortal can, and no other exists that can provide what Qortal does. 
 +  * Any user can create anything on Qortal, limited only by their imagination and intention.

-The 'legacy UI' for Qortal. While still being developed now, it is planned to be no longer developed as soon as possible, and while it may still be maintained to a certain degree, new features and functionality are not likely to be added to the legacy Qortal UI. **It is highly recommended for users to obtain one of the newer interfaces above, and start making use of them and getting used to them, as eventually the legacy UI will no longer be developed at all.** For now, however, it still is, and a recent release allows the VIEWING of encrypted messages sent by Hub/Go/Ext, but not yet the ability to SEND encrypted messages. Replies sent with this UI in Q-Chat, are not yet encrypted. The new group encryption functionality for Q-Chat WILL be getting added to the legacy UI in the near future, however, this is likely to be one of the last updates for this interface, as it is slowly phased out as the primary UI.+The 'legacy UI' for Qortal.

 Qortal Hub/Go/Ext all have new group-encryption for Q-Chat, and leverage many new communications features. They are much more responsive interfaces that allow access to Qortal without requiring the user run a node. There ARE a few features that do not yet exist in the new interfaces, and at the moment only dark mode exists for themes. But over time the missing functionality will be added, and the legacy UI will be moved to full legacy and no longer actively developed.  Qortal Hub/Go/Ext all have new group-encryption for Q-Chat, and leverage many new communications features.

 This wiki is a repository of information regarding the **Qortal Project**. Qortal is not only infrastructure for a decentralized, censorship-free Internet… it is essentially a decentralized 'operating system' where virtually any project/application can be built securely. This includes the 'default' peer-to-peer (P2P) solutions like the Trade Portal and Q-Chat, as well as now 'Q-Apps' that can be built by any Qortal user with a registered name. In every case, the same underlying functionality applies...No middlemen of any kind, no servers, no DNS, and data stored on the decentralized/distributed/encrypted/chunked Qortal Data Network (QDN). Be sure to check the [[Wiki Site Updates]] page for updates on the latest changes to this Wiki, and enjoy your research on The Qortal Project! This wiki is a repository of information regarding the **Qortal Project**.

 Please note - As of October 20th 2024 - Qortal no longer utilizes 'Sponsorship' in order to start minting. A new system that is based on group_approval issued from a select group of community-elected 'minter admins' will be what enables/disables minter status for any account. This process will be further documented in the future, and right now is still in progress with full implementation. Sponsorship was removed due to the obvious (and only) 'game' that could be played against it, called 'self-sponsorship' (creating a new minting account for yourself instead of someone else. The dev group has been aware of this obvious game since Genesis, however it was not expected to be taken advantage of so early on in the project's history. As such, we were greatly disappointed when it was anyway from those that were rescued from the dead 'QORA' project. This change has dramatically changed the state of minting on Qortal, and changed the methods by which a new user will become a Qortal Minter. This is essentially a 'rebirth' of the project in many ways, and a purging of the old self-sponsors who were determined to cause the downfall of the project. Another win for Qortal, and loss for selfishness and greed. During this transition period this wiki will be INCORRECT in many ways, and as such it is highly suggested to join the community in one of the above-mentioned fashions, and ASK about the new methods and how to acquire minting status. This wiki will obtain the required updates as time goes on and the community and dev group have the time to make such updates. Thank you and here's to the future and re-birth of the Qortal project! Please note - As of October 20th 2024 - Qortal no longer utilizes 'Sponsorship' in order to start minting.
