-The QORTector is intended to be open source hardware solutions that can be a cheaper alternative to those looking for a dedicated Qortal node. Qortal nodes need to be running 24/7 in order to stay synchronized to the chain.. If a node does not stay running 24/7, it will need to synchronize each time prior to making use of Qortal. Gen 1 was the OrangePi Prime H5 which has been discontinued by the manufacturer and wasn’t able to work properly as a full node. We have moved on to 'QORTector Gen 2' which uses the Raspberry Pi 4, and the 'QORTector KB' which uses the Raspberry Pi 400. We have developed custom kernels (software) for these devices that optimize cryptographic functions and provide 'Auto Threat Mitigation' to combat security risks of hacks. This is only the beginning of out-of-the-box thinking and development for hardware solutions. These devices draw significantly less power than most computer systems and can be a cost-effective way to taking part in the Qortal Network! See the [[Raspberry Pi 4]] page to build your own or you can buy one pre-built from Crowetic Hardware Development, a third-party service provided by @crowetic and @gfactorQORT: https://crowetic.com/ 
  
-There will be other designs in the future which will be posted here.
