Account Recovery & Backup File

Account Recovery & Backup File ATTENTION! Qortal does not have account recovery, in the conventional sense where you could reach out to Qortal devs and they could help you recover your account/wallet. This is true decentralization, so it is up to YOU to safely store a backup file for account recovery. If you lose access to your account, for example if your computer stops working, you will not be able to recover it without your seed phrase or backup file. During account setup, you can select ‘…

AT System Overview The Qortal 'AT' system (or Automated Transactions) allows for multiple types of transaction automation to take place. Currently we utilize it primarily for the Cross-Chain Trades (or the ACCT AT). People also refer to ATs as 'SmartContracts' - which is terminology that has been bastardized by the likes of Ethereum and others, so we prefer to use its technical name, AT.

Authentication System

Authentication System The same method that is utilized to create transactions by a specific account can be utilized as ‘authentication’ for any other application as well (if built to do so). This leads to the potential for Qortal to remove the need for multiple username/password combinations for the multitude of different services online.

Browser Trading Security Risk

Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) — 2022-02-03T08:57:35+00:00

Browser Trading Security Risk The risk is that a bad actor could setup a community node and steal coin keys. The trade bot has to have the keys in order to issue the transactions on your account's behalf, so that means the community node you are accessing would have your keys. This is why the core limits you to using localhost to issue trades.

The developer group has 'admins' like any other group on Qortal, but the admins of this group are required to sign the update transaction prior to it going live. How it works is that one of the core developers puts up an auto-update transaction that sits unconfirmed until 60% or more of the developer group signs it. Once that happens, the …

Mesh Networking

Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) — 2022-02-09T08:36:39+00:00

Mesh Networking The Mesh Networking concept will replace more ‘traditional’ connectivity methods once the network of Qortal nodes is large enough. This means that the Qortal Network must grow to a point where there is another Qortal Node within a reasonable distance for wireless connectivity, or to the point that there are enough Qortal satellites to bridge all ‘gaps’. This must be accomplished prior to mesh networking for it to be a feasible option to fully replace existing internet service …

Sponsoring New Minters Sponsorship is the method used to limit minting account creation, and to provide a 'human verification' element to Qortal's consensus. As a level 5+ minter, you are able to 'sponsor' (create) a new minter, into Qortal. It is asked that each person maintain only ONE minting account. As the sponsor, your job is to verify the people requesting keys, and ensure to the best of your ability, that they are not attempting to create multiple.

State-of-the-Art Security One of the main differences between the traditional Internet and Qortal overall, is the fact that there is no centralized authentication system, but at the same time, there is a system that can authenticate users that isn’t controlled by any one user or group. This opens the door for many different things to take place in a much more secure fashion. Another difference is the fact that all information that can be used to authenticate a user to an account is always enc…

The Big Picture of Qortal

Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) — 2023-04-27T22:06:54+00:00

The Big Picture of Qortal Qortal is much deeper than simply “decentralizing the world” from the tyrannical central control as we know it. It is true that the DevTeam will not have any direct censorship control over the chain so the world will truly be able to come together as a COLLECTIVE CONSCIOUSNESS!

The Future of Qortal

Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) — 2023-04-27T22:04:39+00:00

The Future of Qortal Qortal aims to be a viable alternative for the world’s existing infrastructure. From the Internet itself, to a worldwide economic system based on active contribution, transparency, and fairness, Qortal will provide a standalone infrastructure for the future world. The platform will have true decentralization that will never need a company or centralized service to be involved in any aspect of its base level functionality.

The QORA Transition See the Qortal Project Background Info page for more info on the relation between QORA and Qortal. THE DATE TO BURN QORA HAS PASSED, NO MORE BURNING WILL BE ACCEPTED.

If you are also a minter, this reward is still issued on top of your minting reward.

The QORT Coin

The QORT Coin Qortal's primary layer 0 coin, called QORT, is the 'gas that powers the Qortal Network'. QORT is required for publishing to QDN, or initiating transactions on the Qortal Network. There are a few exceptions, a few transaction types that are able to be initiated without QORT, such as Q-Chat and 'publicize' transactions, however, the vast majority of transactions require QORT to make.

The Qortal Model The project's model is unlike anything else that exists in the so-called 'crypto space'.

Trade Portal Coin Recovery

Trade Portal Coin Recovery LTC, ARRR, DOGE, DGB, or RVN Recovery If you are buying QORT (by spending LTC, ARRR, DOGE, DGB, or RVN) and the trade fails, it should enter the "REFUNDING" state after 1 hour. This happens occasionally if they buyer and seller's nodes aren't able to communicate properly. The LTC, ARRR, DOGE, DGB, or RVN should be returned to your wallet with around 30 mins of the trade entering the REFUNDING state (a total of 1.5 hours after the trade began).
