<pclass="mbr-text mbr-fonts-style display-7">This is the initial 'alpha' of the Mintership Forum / Mintership tools that will be built into the final Q-Mintership app. This is a simplistic version built by crowetic that will offer a very simple communciations location, and the tools for the minter admins to accomplish the necessary GROUP_APPROVAL transactions. Scroll down for the currently available tools... </p>
Learn more about the Mintership concept, and why it was needed. The days of 'sponsorship' are a thing of the past on the Qortal Network. No more will there be the ability to self-sponsor. A new era of Qortal begins! Join the conversation with the other minters and admins here!</p>

Not already minting? You've come to the right place to get started. The '<ahref="MINTERS">MINTERS</a>.' 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.</p>
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!</p>
Another update has been accomplished, this time to version 0.61beta. This version includes many changes and performance improvements. Further performance improvements will be coming soon. This change includes a cache for the published data on the forum. Messages of up to 2000 in number, will be stored locally in browser storage, that way if the message has already been loaded by that computer, it will not have to pull the data again from QDN. It will be stored in encrypted format for the Admin room. This same caching will be applied to the Minter and Admin boards in the future. Also, reply issues that were present before should be resolved, all replies, regardless of when they were published, will now show their previews in the message pane as they are supposed to. Previously if a reply was on another page, it would not load this preview. The encrypted portions of the app now include a method of caching the admin public keys, for faster publishing. The Minter and Admin boards have a new comment loading display when the comments button is clicked to let users know that data is being loaded, on top of the existing comment count. Other new features and additional performance improvements are in planning. Also, the issue preventing comments from those that had not already loaded the forum, in the Admin Board, has been resolved as well. </p>
All of the Board and Forum bugs that were known have been resolved. There are still future changes to be made in order to add searching, etc. ALL IDENTIFIERS ARE SET TO PERMANENT IDENTIFIERS NOW. This means that all previous publishes that were done in testMode will no longer show up, and the app is now in 'officially released' status. Announcements about the MinterBoard can now be made publicly. Admin Board now allows publishing non-name-based cards with 'topics' instead, for use in admin voting. Encrypted images and attachments now work and download/display as they do in the unencrypted rooms on the forum. Much more to come, and much more has been done. </p>
The Minter and Admin boards received large updates today. Many modificatons. It should be about time to do public announcements about the Minter Board. New types of boards are in planning as well. The changes to the Mintership Forum Admins Room to allow encrypted file downloads are taking a bit longer than expected, but should be completed soon as well. Hopefully if all goes well the public announcements will take place on Monday.</p>
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, <ahref="qortal://APP/Q-Mail/to/crowetic">send a Q-Mail message to crowetic.</a></p>
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. </p>
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. </p>
