Introducing QVote, a quadratic voting platform built on the Algorand blockchain. As a social experiment, they are inviting all citizens of the world to express their opinions by casting a vote in their mock global U.S. election. Click here to learn more: https://www.qvote.co.uk/2020-us-election

Maybe the devs and their buddies holding 80% of the supply wasn't such a good thing

Discuss

Algorand’s Pietro Grassano discusses how a digital currency can help small countries boost financial inclusion, as the Marshall Islands has proven with the adoption of the Marshallese SOV. Read more on Page 18: https://www.omfif.org/omfif-digital-monetary-institute-journal-island-economies/

Is there a way to see a visual representation of the network?

It just keeps on getting worse

Or does the Algorand foundation manually distribute funds to the community?

This post says that there are 1.9B ALGO allocated (it doesn't say where) for "incentives and ecosystem support (distributed over time)." Where are these stored and how are they distributed?

Thanks!

I'm a proud noob to Algorand and I can't find straight answers on the Algorand website or youtube channel:

1) Does the Algorand protocol use an account-based model like Ethereum or a UTXO-based model like Bitcoin?

2) Does Algorand have any sort of treasury model? And if so, what is the mechanism by which those funds are distributed?

3) Can anyone tell me when the validators will start getting paid for their work? Currently all ALGO holders are rewarded equally in proportion to their holdings (around +7% per year) regardless of whether you run a validating node or not. The Algorand Foundation website says that "at some point in the future we may increase validator's rewards"... Any updates?

4) Algorand currently has the TEAL (Transaction Execution Approval Language) for smart contracts. This language is non-turing complete in order to improve its efficiency on the blockchain. Is there any future plan to implement a turing-complete smart contract language on Algorand?

Thanks!

Congratulations on this.

Hi everyone! My name is Christian and I lead product efforts at StakerDAO. Our marketing lead, Mor, recently posted about updates in the StakerDAO ecosystem here, but we'd also like to get feedback on what StakerDAO should build next and bring to Algorand, specifically related to wrapped tokens.

StakerBridge is launching before the end of the year and we will have a bidirectional bridge between Ethereum and Algorand. This bridge will support moving any standard Ethereum token to Algorand. We're collecting feedback on what tokens you think would be the best. We've created a short survey here: https://forum.stakerdao.com/t/future-wrapped-products/158, or comment below. Thank you!

Hi all,

I have version 1.2.9 on ledger s of algorand with firmware 1.6.1 and ledger version 2.14, but can't access the wallet on wallet.myalgo.com , it says there is nothing to connect to ("no compatible devices detected"). ledger is unlocked, app is opened, password set. When checking the account, algo is there, but as I cant access it with my ledger I can't send it. this feels a bit uncool...

Can anyone help?

Algorand will never recover. The price is at all time lows.
