Q-Mintership-Alpha

Q-Mintership-Alpha is the current version of the Q-Mintership app published on qortal://APP/Q-Mintership.

The 'Nominations' branch reflects the nominations-era workflow. The old 'direct request by would-be minter'approach has been replaced by peer nomination.

Nomination Flow

1. A level 5+ minter publishes a nomination card on the Minter Board.
2. Community members, minters, and Minter Admins can comment and vote on the card.
3. Once the required admin support is reached, a Minter Admin creates a GROUP_INVITE for the nominee.
4. Other Minter Admins approve that invite with GROUP_APPROVAL transactions.
5. After the invite is approved and no longer pending, the nominee sees the Join MINTER Group action.
6. The nominee joins MINTER group 694, creates a minting key, assigns it to their node, and begins minting.

Q-Mintership MinterBoard

• Public nomination board for minting candidates.
• Supports comments, voting, invite progress, list mode, and clearer loading/status feedback.
• Cards show both the vote results and the current invite state without losing the underlying nomination data.

Q-Mintership AdminBoard

• Private, encrypted board for Minter Admin decision-making.
• Used for admin-only discussion and the admin-side actions that support the nomination flow.
• Also supports private removal-related workflows for Minter group members.

Q-Mintership MAM Board

• The MAM Board, called ARBoard in the code, handles proposals that add or remove Minter Admins from the MINTER group.
• This keeps admin membership changes separate from the public nomination flow so they can be reviewed on their own track.
• The card styling keeps type coding so the proposal type is easy to scan at a glance.

Q-Mintership Forum

• Public and private forum for long-form discussion, replies, and attachments.
• The public rooms cover general discussion and minter-focused discussion, while the admin room remains private.
• The forum continues to evolve alongside the board workflows.

What Changed Since The Pre-Nominations Version

• Self-Created Minter Cards were replaced by level 5+ Nominations.
• The Minter Board now shows a full lifecycle for a nomination, including admin support and invite approval.
• The admin workflow is split between the public nomination board, the private AdminBoard, and the MAM/AR board for admin membership changes.
• The UI has been tightened up for faster loading, clearer list/card views, better invite status feedback, and more useful account details and explorer tools.
• The app now ships with fully local font assets instead of relying on remote font hosting.
• There is now a fully functional 'User Account Details Explorer' showing past transactions, account overview, older 'sponsorship statistics' and more. Allowing for a simpler review by the community and Minter Admins.

Additional

Many additional features and functions are planned for Q-Mintership, including some additional near-term changes to include Nominator Statistics and gamification therein to create a 'best nominator' award potential, and more.

Longer-term the plan is to rewrite the app into React + TypeScript, which will make it much faster, easier to work on, and ability to leverage the qapp-core framework, with a component-based development style similar to the other React-based applications on Qortal (Q-Tube, Q-Blog, Q-Mail, and so on).
