Vevue is a Qtum QRC20 Decentralized Application that focuses on rewarding content makers for their videos. Recently, they were featured on Cnet.com for their work with an Indie film "No Postage Necessary", which will be released via Blockchain:
https://www.cnet.com/news/indie-film-first-blockchain-distribution-no-postage-necessary/#ftag=COS-05-10aaa0jA dramatic comedy about a computer hacker and a whole lot of missing bitcoins sounds like the perfect plot for the first feature film to be released using blockchain technology. Indie film "No Postage Necessary" is teaming up with Vevue, a peer-to-peer video network app running on the Qtum blockchain platform, for distribution. Vevue currently offers an iOS app, with Android and web versions in development. Check out CNET's blockchain primer for more on how the technology behind bitcoin works. Jeremey Culver wrote, directed and produced "No Postage Necessary," which was shot on 35mm and will appear in select US theaters and through video-on-demand as well as through Vevue. It will also be available to purchase using cryptocurrency. "There are many advantages to blockchain distribution, including immutable proof of intellectual property rights, transparent royalty payments, and, since all data on the blockchain is resistant to duplication, we can now envision a world where films are no longer pirated," Culver said in a release. George Blagden from "Vikings" stars as Sam, a computer genius and hacker who poses as a postal worker to steal mail, but ends up falling for a widow who makes him want to be a better person. An FBI agent looking for a set of missing bitcoins threatens to ruin Sam's chances at romance. The movie's worldwide blockchain debut is set for June.

If you haven't kept up to date with the Qtum project, this is a great article that highlights some of the recent events:"In January it also announced a “strategic collaboration” with Hong Kong-headquartered Baofeng, another Chinese company with a ubiquitous consumer-facing Baofeng Player software, this time in the field of video and audio players.
The publicly listed company plans to use the Qtum blockchain as the platform on which it aims to build a decentralised content delivery network, which will be the first of its kind. Baofeng envisages its Bokocloud network running on 50,000 nodes, which would be a substantial achievement bearing in mind that bitcoin runs on 10,000 nodes and Ethereum on twice that number.
Baofeng is capitalized at $1.2 billion on the Shenzhen Stock Market, and its Baofeng Player delivers high-quality video to 200 million users. It is planned that Qtum and Baofeng will work together to run 50,000 full nodes on the Bokocloud network (Bitcoin runs on 10,000 nodes, Ethereum 20,000). The end game is to deliver decentralized solutions for video distribution, rights management and payment.
Another company jumping on board the Qtum blockchain is BINGO, a games company that is marrying the Pan Entertainment ecosystem with blockchain. By doing so they want to solve three key problems in the $170 billion gaming industry: fairness; data visibility between developers and publishers and improving gaming experience."
Singapore is a Mandarin and English-speaking city state rooted in the commercial history of the region and as such has always offered opportunities for the entrepreneurial. It is developing fast as a hub for blockchain-focused companies, so Qtum is in the right place to prosper.
Locale and networks aside though, success in the red hot crypto sector is ultimately down to the product itself and Qtum’s cutting-edge blockchain tech could be considered best of breed.
Its unique selling point is that it has succeeded in leveraging the security of bitcoin and the smart contracts of Ethereum and putting that on a level that solves scalability issues and banishes the prohibitive costs associated with proof-of-work consensus mechanisms. Qtum has developed a business-ready blockchain that is hybrid in form, with interoperability at its core.
Despite its technological achievements and growing roster of projects using its blockchain, Qtum is somewhat in the shade in comparison to projects such as NEO and Cardano, two other Asian-based purveyors of blockchain platforms, although the latter’s is not finished yet.
OK, so maybe Qtum is not one to blow its own trumpet and prefers to let the evidence of its quality product speak for itself. That’s worth exploring because there is no better way of judging a blockchain’s worth than to assess who is using it or planning to do so. From that vantage it has to said the partnerships and customers Qtum is stacking up are impressive and do indeed speak to a company that looks like it’s gaining traction.
Qtum team
Partnerships across Asia
Let’s take a look at some of them.
In January it inked a partnership with Qihoo 360, one of China’s market leaders in cyber security, which saw the Qtum Foundation joining the 360 Blockchain Research Center. It is tasked with setting up a blockchain lab to develop solutions for 360’s products. Also participating in the center is the BTN Foundation of the BitMex exchange.
ALSO READ: Chinese Investors See Big Opportunities with Bitcoin
Although it is not as well known in the West as the likes of Alibaba and Tencent, in China it is a household name by virtue of the prevalence of its desktop security anti-virus software 360 Total Security, which is used by 500 million consumers.
Qtum will be helping to bring blockchain solutions to many of those products, so the deal puts it at the center of the Asian tech story.
The Opera browser has an innovative track-record and recently implemented software to detect and block crypto-jacking, a problem that is growing exponentially.
Patrick Dai, founder and chief executive of the Qtum Foundation, said at the time that he was “delighted” by the partnership, describing it as “a win-win-win partnership that can tap the shared strengths to promote the multi-lateral collaboration and the adoption of the blockchain technology in commercial contexts”.
Video content delivery on a 50,000-node blockchain
In January it also announced a “strategic collaboration” with Hong Kong-headquartered Baofeng, another Chinese company with a ubiquitous consumer-facing Baofeng Player software, this time in the field of video and audio players.
The publicly listed company plans to use the Qtum blockchain as the platform on which it aims to build a decentralised content delivery network, which will be the first of its kind. Baofeng envisages its Bokocloud network running on 50,000 nodes, which would be a substantial achievement bearing in mind that bitcoin runs on 10,000 nodes and Ethereum on twice that number.
Baofeng is capitalized at $1.2 billion on the Shenzhen Stock Market, and its Baofeng Player delivers high-quality video to 200 million users. It is planned that Qtum and Baofeng will work together to run 50,000 full nodes on the Bokocloud network (Bitcoin runs on 10,000 nodes, Ethereum 20,000). The end game is to deliver decentralized solutions for video distribution, rights management and payment.
Another company jumping on board the Qtum blockchain is BINGO, a games company that is marrying the Pan Entertainment ecosystem with blockchain. By doing so they want to solve three key problems in the $170 billion gaming industry: fairness; data visibility between developers and publishers and improving gaming experience.

Patrick Dai is one of its advisors to the project and so too is Tencent-backed Mob Arts Entertainment, the online games operator with seven years’ experience in the industry. Its House of Heroes was launched across Tencent platforms such as WeChat to rave reviews. BINGO is partnered with another Asia-based project in the Qtum orbit, BeeChat.
Cutting-edge messaging and social media
Maybe you’ve heard about Telegram’s plan to leverage blockchain but there is an app already out there doing just that. BeeChat is a messaging app serving the cryptocurrency community and the wider world with more than two million users and is built from the ground up on Qtum’s blockchain. The platform is moving forward with rolling out new features to include daily airdrops to reward users, verification services, credit reporting and transaction systems and plans for a developer platform in which HCASH, the cross-platform cryptocurrency, is also playing a role.
There’s a lot going on in Qtum’s world but before we finish Mithril, the social media blockchain project announced this month it would be developing its decentralised apps on Qtum. Mithril wants to turn social media upside down by rewarding users for the content they provide.
Taiwan-based Jeffrey Huang and founder of Mithril is well-known in the entertainment and technology arenas and is also the founder of 17 Media, a live-streaming platform that has been downloaded 27 million times. He was attracted to Qtum by the interoperability at the heart of the system and its business-ready attributes.
We have only touched on some of what Qtum has been up to in Asia, and from this brief survey alone it’s not unreasonable to see this company emerging as one of the darlings upstarts of Asia and the world beyond.

I did my research about Qtum and took notes in the way. Based on my notes, I wrote a short (3-5 min) review. Might be helpful for newcomers who want to understand the Qtum a bit more. https://longcaller.com/coin/qtum.htmlThis is great, thanks! It's all correct, except for the 'Master Contract' portion. This idea was never developed and we ceased talking about it, but it can be found in old articles about Qtum. |

🔥NEWS: You can now use QTUM to buy SVD tokens!🔥Dear QTUM Community,  We took a lot of heat in 2016 for making this a moderated thread. To date, we have only deleted 2, maybe 3 posts. This post we are quoting was the reason we did this. During the fudd campaign this time last year, we did not 'censor' much, maybe 1 post, even the people attacking us will agree. We'll delete this post in a day or two. |

I want to understand how I can earn income from qtum coins, except from the growth of their value, whether there are other ways to profit with the use of qtum coins. (minig, masternode, etc.)
There's no Proof-of-Work mining, only staking. This means if you own Qtum tokens, you're able to gain rewards for your computational resources. If you stake a block, you are helping the network process transactions, and you will receive a 4 Qtum reward for your efforts. We don't allow masternodes, this functionality centralizes a network, and isn't available to everyone. Anyone can run a full node for our network, you only require an internet connection and a device. There are no rewards for doing this, but people do it anyway, like the Bitcoin network for example. |

coinbase will list qtum ?
is it real?
Why not? we have no comments on this, it always depends on the exchange. |

Qtum to Launch CubeSat for Cryptocurrency Blockchain Platform "Qtum Foundation announced a collaboration with the SpaceChain Foundation to launch a standardized CubeSat, which will carry Qtum‘s blockchain software technology on a Raspberry Pi device." 
The electricity required for cryptocurrency mining — or tallying cryptocurrency transactions in exchange for a small fee — has increased exponentially over the years. According to Digiconomist, Bitcoin mining power consumption had increased 56.2 percent over four months to hit 47.07 TWh, costing $2.3 billion per year and consuming 0.21 percent of the world’s electricity.
In Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus algorithms, power consumption is necessary for transaction verification, which is done through PoW mining. By launching a satellite into space with a comparatively lighter proof-of-stake algorithm, Qtum intends to increase its reliability with a future satellite network expansion.
While most blockchain technologies use PoW for their mining operations, Qtum uses a form of Point of Sale (PoS) for its transaction verifications in the network. The satellite launch provides energy savings and a cheap hardware platform. Instead of buying expensive specialized mining equipment that cost thousands of dollars to purchase, setup, and maintain, Qtum wallet holders can mine for Qtum tokens on light devices, according to the foundation.
There are now more than 14,000 cryptocurrencies in the world aside from the major cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Ripple. However, these cryptocurrencies are costly to maintain which increases the barrier for widespread industrial adaption, Qtum stated. With the satellite launch, Qtum hopes to lower the cost of industrial usage, which would set the stage for mass adaption of its blockchain and also future application advantages. |

Hi, I have a question. I believe once I saw a video where QTUM said that you do not need to have any specific amount of QTUM for a masternode. Could anyone confirm if this is correct?? Thanks
Qtum is completely decentralized, we do not allow masternodes. There is no minimum amount of Qtum required to run a full node. If you would like to help our project, please feel free to run a node to relay transactions. You can see a map of the Qtum nodes here: https://qtum.org/en/nodemap |

Qtum Partners With Baofeng To Become Bigger Than Bitcoin And EthereumPRESS RELEASES
Qtum Partners With Baofeng To Become Bigger Than Bitcoin And Ethereum
January 5, 2018 By: Payment WeekSingapore – 4 January 2018 – Qtum, the blockchain application platform, has partnered with Baofeng, the Chinese video portal giant, to help achieve the world’s first Blockchain Consensus Network (BCN) and build the most decentralized blockchain node network.
With the help of Baofeng, Qtum will run 50,000 full network nodes and become the blockchain platform with the largest number of nodes. Currently the Bitcoin network has around 10,000 and Ethereum has roughly 20,000 full nodes.
The introduction of such a large number of nodes will expand the security, stability and response speed of Qtum’s blockchain, providing underlying support for more enriching Dapps in the future and expanding the Qtum ecosystem.
“We’re excited to have the support of Baofeng, and Storm’s massive user base is a treasure for us,” said Patrick Dai, CEO and Co-Founder of Qtum. “We look forward to their developers’ ideas and contributions to the Qtum platform, and to dedicating this collaboration to the advancement of blockchain technology.”
It is expected that, with this fresh blood injected into Qtum’s community, more users will become aware of blockchain technology and lots of developers will be attracted. As a result, Qtum will become one of the most reliable mainstream public blockchains. Baofeng will also work on Qtum’s platform to introduce new video distribution, copyright protection and payment system technologies.
For Baofeng – which was listed in March 2015 by the Shenzhen Stock Market and is now valued at more than 8 billion CNY according to the data from the Shenzhen securities exchange – this partnership demonstrates the great potential of dynamic integration between blockchain technology and the traditional video industry.
“We are very excited to sign the world’s first Blockchain Consensus Network (BCN) service agreement with Qtum,” said Reccon Cui, CEO of Baofeng Bokocloud. “Baofeng Group operates the world’s largest P2P network, so we are impressed by the security and superior flexibility of the Qtum’s blockchain architecture, and we found that the current ecosystem of Qtum is rapidly developing. We are very happy to cooperate with one of the best blockchain technical teams in this field.”
Qtum has caught the eye of many from the traditional business world because of its efficient underlying blockchain technology and precise roadmap.
The partnership with Baofeng demonstrates how blockchain technology is becoming mature enough to be utilized across a variety of fields.

Hello,
I tried to sent QTUM from Bittrex to my ETH wallet.
It did not work.
But it should, because QTUM is a ERC20 token.
Or do I get it wrong?
Please write me where should I put my coins, I want to take tham out of the exchange.
Thank you,
Zorro
Qtum is no longer an ERC20 Token. The ERC20 tokens were just placeholders and needed to be swapped to mainnet tokens. Bittrex automatically did the swap. If your tokens are on bittrex then they are mainnet tokens and cannot be sent to eth wallet. You need the qtum ignition wallet. If you still hold Qtum ERC20 tokens, you can use gate.io to swap them to Qtum Ignition Main Network tokens. You cannot send Qtum from Bittrex (which are mainnet tokens) to an Ethereum deposit address. |

Robin8 Launches Presale for Profile Utility Token (PUT) on the Qtum Blockchain
Secure and Tokenize Your Personal Data
Robin8 is launching a Blockchain based profile utility token (PUT) project to give control of the profile back to the owner and empower the user with their own data. The company has officially announced its pre-sale for its token sale and plans to announce its token sale later this month.
PUT connects advertisers, publishers, creditors, companies and other consumers. In the Robin8 blockchain marketplace and ecosystem, when a buyer wants access to data, they will pay the data owner (consumer, influencer, content creator). Similarly, if an advertiser wants content or people to view their content, they will pay the content creator, or pay the people to view and share their content. The same rules will apply if the consumer wants access to premium content, the consumer will have to pay the content creator. On the supply side of the Robin8 marketplace, the recipient can be paid in token and keep for future appreciation or redeem for cash.
Robin8, the leading influencer search engine and marketplace in China, profiles, ranks and matches advertisers to influencers with the use of big data and AI. The company is the first platform in China that allows anyone to understand their social data from a wide range of social media sites. In addition to improving advertiser’s ROI, the company provides an automated system for tracking, transparency, third-party digital advertising verification, social media and e-commerce measurement, and data management.
Founded in 2015, Robin8 has an existing platform, growing global client base and growing revenue.

Hi Guys, I have QTUM ERC20 Tokens in my Trezor Wallet. Since QTUM has been upgraded to its own block chain. Now I am trying to swap Tokens to QTUM block chain Tokens using https://qtum.changelly.com/ but I am not able to proceed because the "EXCHANGE" button on this website has been disabled. I would like to know if anyone recently swapped tokens successfully using https://qtum.changelly.com/ or anyone is facing the same issue like me? Thanks in advance for your support. You can use gate.io to swap Qtum ERC20 tokens to Qtum Ignition Main Network |

I need help from Qtum team.
I have lost my 100 Qtum funds in my wallet. It doesn't show that address anymore and hence doesnt show my balance.
On November 16, I purchased 100 Qtum via Bittrex and transferred them to my newly created qtum wallet on Android. I used the address the app generated, to get the funds. The funds did arrive in the app wallet and it showed the transaction in the app itself.
I backed up the passphrase and everything.
Yesterday, I opened the app, but now the app doesn't show that address and neither the balance as well, nor the transaction. It shows a completely new address and no past transactions.
I check the explorer: the balance is still in that wallet.
I also tried re-installing the app, and using the 12 word passphrase to restore the wallet, but that old address and balance is gone.
I tried emailing them as well, but haven't received a reply.
I am very disappointed because I did everything by the book, by copying the passphrase and address etc. The transaction was also visible in the wallet after I had received the funds from Bittrex.
Is it possible to get your wallet version, a link to the transaction, and the address you used? PM this account if you'd like to keep this information private. |

Just trying to get my head around what Qtum does, or aims to do. Is it essentially a logistics management solution for businesses, which uses blockchain to support logistics tracking?
So it will create software that links this all together in an easy to use way for business?
It's an Ethereum compatible chain that uses PoS instead of PoW and additionally uses Bitcoin's UTXO system to allow for SPV wallets, allowing for much smaller blockchain downloads compared to Ethereum, meaning that slimmer and more compact dapps can be written and used even on mobile devices. Hi, I just bought some QTUM. Can someone explain me how can I stake the coin? Or is this still in a testing phase? Staking is actually quite easy, you keep the tokens in your QT wallet for 500 confirmations and wait. Make sure that before you send tokens, you encrypt and back up your wallet, save that file to an external device. Here is a guide that goes over these steps: https://github.com/qtumproject/qtum/wiki/Qtum-Wallet-Tutorial |
