FORUM

### Become A Minter

Not already minting? You've come to the right place to get started. The 'MINTERS.' links will take you to the 'Minter Board'. The Minter Board is a place to publish your intent to become a minter, and get support from the existing minters and Minter Admins.

### Minter Admin Tools

Are you one of the initially selected Minter Admins? We have the tools here you need to create and approve GROUP_APPROVAL transactions, and communicate securely with your fellow admins. There is a private forum, and Minter Admin Tools section available for you!

## Updates and information

## a few things remaining

There are still a few things remaining, such as downloading of encrypted attachments in the Admin Room on the forum, and final testing of the Minter Data Board, with potentially a rename of that section to 'Minter Management' in the future. Many additional changes will be coming as time goes on as well. Turning Q-Mintership-Alpha into a fully featured Mintership app! Hope you enjoy it and that it is useful for you, and if you have any suggestions in regard to new features or modifications to existing ones, send a Q-Mail message to crowetic.

## Updates 12.17.2024

The Q-Mintership-Alpha application is now published on the Q-Mintership name, and has a plethora of new features. Including the Minter Board, where new minters will publish information about themselves so that the admins can make informed decisions, and the Minter Data Board as a new Minter Admin Tool to manage the data regarding minters they want to add/remove from the MINTER group. The Forum portion of the app now also contains an encrypted Admin room, and has had a ton of improvements made as well.

## This is the beginning...

This is the very start of the Q-Mintership app. It will be dramatically changing upon the beta release, and modification to the Q-Mintership Q-App. This initial version is a version that could be launched more quickly, and does not have nearly as much functionality as what will exist once the main app goes live.
