Having not a Qtum website available for investing says it all, I'm not going to invest through some hardly known Chinese exchanges. If you want to look respectable then you need to provide a better form of investing. I think I'll wait until the release and when then the dust settles then decide whether to invest or not.
'because of legal restrictions' sounds like a cope out.

Devs, Does the fact that Yunbi has restricted Bitcoin withdrawals effective Today, and with no end date, have an impact on whether you will still use that exchange?
Address the following as well, for you keep skipping over it: September 9, 2016: https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/ethereum-based-identity-project-uport-wins-the-blockchain-competition/“Qtum will become the first UTXO model based smart contract platform. Different from Rootstock, Qtum is using the Incentive proof of stake as the consensus protocol,also Qtum support EVM. We also divide the blockchain contract to Smart Contract and Master Contract. Through real world data feeds, you can build the Master Contract on QtumChain. We also offer identity on Qtum Blockchain. Qtum add value both to Bitcoin ecosystem and Ethereum ecosystem.”
They have signed a strategic partnership with PwC China, and recently signed a service contract with the world’s largest freight company for the use of VeChain, another project by the team, to better manage supply chains by adding blockchain capabilities to minimize fraud and theft. February 22, 2017: Qtum's Slack channel before it gets deleted: https://qtumnexus.slack.com/archives/general/p1487836173003937February 23, 2017: Qtum's Slack channel: https://qtumnexus.slack.com/archives/general/p1487836173003937That's means somebody was in PwC's office on a Sunday morning at ~9:43 AM China/Singapore time to process a payment of ~$13,623 USD worth of bitcoins according to Brett. VVVhttps://www.walletexplorer.com/txid/89b3e53a83d16d132200b96892dcf98c77ad3506866ff4e63a8105eb6337bc4fIt also means that somebody was in PwC's office at 2-3 AM (again, local time) to process the following bitcoin payments. VVVhttps://www.walletexplorer.com/wallet/d38da05c72761402But the bigger question is who was at PwC's office on January 2, 2017, at ~1:28 AM (again, local time) to process the following 500 BTC valued at over $491K at the time of the transaction? AND to who, since Qtum is a non-profit and ICO investors have a right to know according to the law in Singapore where their charter is registered? https://www.walletexplorer.com/txid/51f9c3a755299425a38e119c068f3997f08fe3c60caab53cfbbea7b9dfd8c66ait seems they raised more than 1000BTC from angel investors and sell 500BTC for cash to pay people's salary, what's wrong with this...?

Qtum Blockchain Gains Support From PwC; Releases WhitepaperRead more: http://www.nasdaq.com/article/qtum-blockchain-gains-support-from-pwc-releases-whitepaper-cm757205#ixzz4ahjD6aF2The Singapore-based Qtum Foundation announced that it is working with global financial services consultancy PwC to help fuel blockchain adoption among international businesses. The Qtum Foundation is developing the Qtum blockchain , an open-source value transfer protocol and decentralized application platform for businesses that executes
The Qtum Blockchain As part of the cooperation between the two firms, PwC provided input for Qtum's newly released whitepaper titled "Smart-Contract Value Transfer Protocols on a Distributed Mobile Application Platform," which explains the technical aspects of how its new blockchain platform works.
The whitepaper was authored by Qtum's co-founders Patrick Dai, Neil Mahi, Jordan Earls and the project's Scientific Advisor Dr. Alex Norta. It details how Qtum's blockchain will allow for mobile usability, how it will be able to interact with the Ethereum Virtual Machine to enable smart contract execution and how smart contract lifecycle management will be applied to improve security by allowing smart-contract collaboration, negotiation, review, and tracking.
The Qtum blockchain will allow lite wallets running on mobile phone devices to interact with DApps and smart contracts. It will support the simple payment verification (SPV) protocol so that transactions can be signed using a mobile device and Internet of Things devices can also be operated and integrated using smart contracts.
Qtum's Account Abstraction Layer will allow interaction between the Ethereum Virtual Machine and the Qtum's UXTO-based Blockchain and other potential virtual machines in the future. Also, by using a UTXO platform, smart contracts are given more functionalities, flexibility and traceability, compared to pure Ethereum-based smart contracts.
"Qtum aims to revolutionize business processes and the way that business interact with their customers by making smart contract technology mobile and practical. The SPV protocol allows smart contracts to move from servers and laptops, into IoT and mobile devices," said Earls.
The whitepaper also addresses potential security concerns, which were highlighted due to the Ethereum DAO compromise of last year. Qtum will use Smart-Contract Lifecycle Management which allows for the collaboration, reviewing, negotiation, and the tracking of smart contracts across organizations by all parties to establish trust through active security vetting.
Supporting a Stable Project Governance Structure
PwC has also supported Qtum in creating its new project governance structure, which will allow Qtum to become one of the largest open-source distributed ledger projects that can meet the requirements of a broad range of industries, such as financial services, supply chain management, gaming, social media, Internet of Things, and more.
"PwC has helped the Qtum Foundation setting up our governance model, project management, and risk management," Qtum co-founder Patrick Dai told Bitcoin Magazine .
"In the future we plan on expanding our cooperation with PwC to help Qtum expand our reach and adoption of blockchain technology,"
CY Cheung, Fintech and Cybersecurity Partner of PwC China stated: "PwC sees enormous potential for blockchain to revolutionize business practices as we know them, and the firm has made great efforts in developing strategic and technical capabilities to adapt existing products and services for the new technology. We are excited to get involved in the era of innovation and help companies capture the opportunities and benefits brought by the new technology. Working with the Qtum Foundation aligns with our goal."
The next step for the Qtum project will be conducting an initial coin offering to fund the further development of the platform. After the crowd sale, further testing of the Qtum blockchain will be conducted before the platform will go live.
"Our crowd sale starts on March 16th, and afterwards the next steps for Qtum will be to complete the testnet from the Qtum test net, receive feedback from the community on testing, and then to launch the mainnet of the Qtum blockchain," Earls told Bitcoin Magazine .

@tomkat, don't get me wrong, but I personally would bet "high roller style" that Golem will not work, despite the uber-promotion.
Maybe you're right, but they have enough traction to stay on the market for some time. What if you will decide to leave Elastic tomorrow? With Lannister as a black hole, the project is immediately close to extinction, unless someone equally good will be found within short period of time. Who cares that Elastic is operational, and maybe even better than Golem in terms of tech, if it's just small niche project that nobody knows and cares about. Good PR and hype doesn't hurt, does it? [Edit] And a pro website is something so very basic, that it's unbelievable Elastic has something like this http://www.elastic-project.com/ that is looking like coming from pre-internet era :-) Also, non-operational elastic.pro is used here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1589333.0 from august and nobody takes care. "coming from pre-internet era"? That is the genuine wiki style, something all developers and tech professionals appreciate, and something regular users probably hate, as they like big moving pictures with zero information presented In general, this project is all about real developers working together. This is exactly what I like here - the ones who actually create value, are the main players here, not the pr/marketing/traders etc. Golem seems to be a hyped project for the ones who bite to hype, just as Lisk is, for example. IMHO. Then of course, I understand your point too - at some moment (and this moment is very close), this project will need the ones who will promote it, increase awareness, spread the word and actually find the ones who will use the capabilities offered by EK and friends. This would probably need to go out of the small crypto universe as well, out to the real business world (like IOTA does). And also your another point is very valid - the security is something this project misses the most. I mean it is based on few people, one of which is practically always absent, and (who knows..?) can disappear any moment with all the BTC invested, and the second one, while being a brilliant developer, already speaks of getting a real-life job.. . That's not very reassuring, to be honest A real foundation needs to be built, with multiple reputable people, both holding the funds and working together... This could make this project shine, like a real diamond. It indeed looks interesting and we this way of doing things (developers come first) too. But you say that it s in quite advanced stage. As I can see distribution of coins hasn t begun yet in Elastic, date of main net start is not available yet. SONM - Supercomputer Organized By Network Mining ( www.sonm.io) so you are a supporter of this project?

Version 1.5 released https://github.com/byteball/byteball/releasesIt's the biggest update since the launch. It enables conditional payments, which allow you to P2P exchange bytes vs blackbytes since today. Much more in the next releases. Read my Medium article about making P2P great again https://medium.com/byteball/making-p2p-great-again-fe9e20546a4a#.i6kj1ug99Note that to bind your payment to a condition you must be connected in chat with the payee and click his address or accept a payment request. Other updates in this release: * Fixed frequent disconnects that might affect sync speed * Small performance optimizations * Multiple small bugs fixed Please upgrade. The wallet might start a bit longer than usual the first time after the upgrade, this is because it needs to upgrade the database, be patient. Be prepared for bugs since it is a big update (I guess you are already used to expecting this when you are into something new). that's some great updates.. just wonder when poloniex will list Byteball...this gonna be Huge.

when EK show up again, that means we can release the XEL platform.
