 Getting started on Qortal has never been easier. Thanks to the creation of 'Qortal Hub', the new interface for Qortal from the Qortal Development Group (thanks @phil for his amazing work in initiating the effort), many of the previous 'difficulties' and 'barriers to entry' have been either removed or dramatically reduced.  Getting started on Qortal has never been easier.

 There are now methods to access and utilize Qortal without installing anything at all. Thanks to CHD ([[https://crowetic.com]]) and Qortal Hub, users may now access and utilize the network with **no installation requried.**. (NOTE - As Qortal is meant to be a completely decentralized platform, it is still highly recommended for each user to install both Qortal Hub and Qortal Core locally on their own computers, however, in order to get the users started quickly, hosted access methods provided allow immediate access and use of the network. Keep in mind, however, that if a user publishes data on a public node, there is no guarantee that the published data will be kept for any specific period of time, and if the data doesn't get picked up by another node, it could potentially be lost. This is not possible while running your own node, as you are in full control over every aspect of what takes place on that node. Hosted access methods are there for a convenience feature, and are NOT meant to be utilzed as a primary access method to the Qortal Network. There are now methods to access and utilize Qortal without installing anything at all.
