• Video added to 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!
