Today on Beyond Bitcoin we step outside of the BitShares box and talk with Vrontis, one of the Developers at a very innovative cryptocurrency called Qora. He was joined by fellow Qora Developer vbcs from CIYAM, but unfortunately his microphone was not working so we will have the CIYAM team back for a hangout another time.

With a storybook background complete with crickets and church bells, Vrontis had plenty to tell us about from Greece, like a decentralized web server built into the Qora client. He also unveiled Qora’s new social media feature that Qora Developer agran helped bring to life. Vrontis also covered Qora’s ability to use smart contracts to perform atomic cross-chain transactions (ACCT), which are client-to-client transactions from one cryptocurrency to another. In this case the ACCT was between the Qora and Burst blockchains, but any cryptocurrency can implement automated transactions (AT) and then trade with any other participating coin.

Another key feature of Qora is Voting. Any user can create a poll and have stakeholders vote. The decision for Vrontis to take over as lead developer of Qora was voted on the blockchain by the Qora stakeholders after the founding Developer had to leave for personal reasons prior to the implementation of automated transactions.

Other features in Qora include : Transferable Names, User Issued Assets and Encrypted Messaging. But by far the most impressive feature in Qora v22 is the decentralized web server and seeing the possibilities in the social media site’s it allows each person to easily create.
