Hello HIVE community!
Just wanted to say hello and start making use of this platform. I was a long-term semi-active user of STEEM back in the day, but stopped using it quite a while ago.
I have decided to give HIVE a shot, as a chance of gaining a new community who may be interested in the content that I put out.
I have been working on a blockchain platform for the last 9+ years with my development team and amazing community, and that platform is now 2 years old. It is a completely custom blockchain-based infrastructure platform that I believe a lot of the HIVE users would find very inetersting.
The website for the project is - https://qortal.org
Our very extensive Wiki is here - https://wiki.qortal.org
At the very moment, the platform can already do web hosting, cross-chain trading, multiple local coin wallets, fully decentralized instant messaging, and MUCH MORE.
Everything in Qortal is 100% P2P and decentralized, with no potential for regulation or any other such nonsense. We have gone through a TON of updates already, and we are now to the point that I consider us moving out of 'beta'.
Our completely unique consensus allows literally anyone with basically any computer, down to a raspberry pi, can mint on the network and earn QORT for simply keeping their node running.
Websites can be published for the price of a single name registration transaction, and has no continual fees, no domain fees, no server, and gets stronger, faster, and more anonymous as more people view or follow your content
In the near future we will be doing massive improvements to Q-Chat, so that it will be able to replace all centralized messenger services. Including later having voice/video communications completely serverless. We are also in progress with our first 2 mobile applications, a mobile wallet, and a mobile Q-Chat.
If you are interested in checking out a blockchain platform with literally NO centralized components, in any aspect, and one that is actually built by the people for the people, and able to be run by anyone, as the original concepts of the Bitcoin whitepaper were meant to be, you should really check Qortal out.
Once Q-Apps go live, our first demo application will be a video hosting platform to replace YouTube, which should really help with people who have been deplatformed, etc. We will also soon have a blog platform, social media platform, and much more. Literally anything you can think of will be able to be built on top of Qortal's unhackable blockchain-secured infrastructure.
My plan here is to get existing blockchain platform users paying attention to a platform that doesn't even have reliance upon a domain (which in my opinion is a weakness of HIVE and STEEM) and get them to at least come check Qortal out.
Most anyone who does, ends up loving the concept, community, and the serious skill and effort that has gone into the development of the platform, and as time goes on, they end up loving more and more aspects of it.
Anyway, this ended up being a bit longer than I had expected it would be. Thanks for taking the time to read my newbie post, and any upvotes appreciated. If you're interested in minting QORT just reply to me and I'll get you taken care of.
