- | **UPDATE:** To no surprise with such a massive project and all sorts of hurdles, things have not gone as planned or been picture perfect. As a result the below information is more more of a target idea we've envisioned. More so referring to having basic trade functions and voting in place with Phase 1. Basic BTC-QORT trade functions were launched in Phase 2 but were too costly and slow. LTC was implemented in replacement of BTC for trades, where BTC trades were disabled and BTC wallets remained live. BTC has since been added back to the Trade Portal! Voting system has not been launched in Phases 1 or 2, and was expected to be the next big development after Phase 3 with public data hosting. Unfortunately, | + | Below are the general launch phases (but not limited to). Please go to the [[Qortal Status Updates]] for the latest news on development. Also note: the [[Wiki Site Updates]] page keeps a log of updates to the wiki for easy reference. |
