byteball will be popular!

i will hold and buy BTC/Byteball/Qtum/elastic XEL  in 2017.

While Qtum can be used just like Bitcoin (except for the Proof-of-Stake modifications) to send and receive digital currency, the real power of Qtum is the Smart Contract system. The Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) has been integrated into Qtum and a blockchain abstraction layer has been placed between the EVM and the UTXO based blockchain. This way existing Ethereum smart contracts run with little or no modifications to the contract source code.

It has been a few days since we gave a status update, so we would like to give an overview of what’s going on behind the scenes.

Recently, we have begun work on a new website.  That should be ready in about 3 weeks, until then, we will continue to use the current one (https://qtum.org).  The section where we list our Angel Backers has been updated, we will reveal more names shortly once we have approval.  We plan to discuss with our Angels why they decided to support our project, and what they expect from our team in the future.  






The Qtum Crowd Sale will start on March 1st.  We currently have enough funds to last until the sale ends on April 1st.  The Crowd Sale will be hosted by major Chinese exchanges, which will be announced in February.  There will also be a direct sale that is done on our website.  The concrete information about the Crowd Sale will be announced in our business whitepaper prepared by PricewaterhouseCoopers.  The technical whitepaper will come out mid-February.  The draft section that we released a few weeks back was from the last revision of the whitepaper, so that portion will be completely redone for the new version.

On the Press front, we have done a decent job gaining  traction with Blockchain industry sites.  Our focus right now is engaging with the mainstream press.  A large part of this project involves preparing a Blockchain project for real world business applications.  We already have a signed partnership agreement with a company valued at 100 million dollars USD, which we will discuss later.  We are currently in discussions with more companies, who are excited about our “Go Mobile” strategy.  This was actually the portion of our project that convinced a billionaire to back Qtum.

Our development team is currently merging the Proof-of-Stake protocol into Bitcoin Core v0.13, along with some testing of the Account Abstract layer we implemented to allow the EVM to run on a UTXO model.  The screenshot earlier of the mobile wallet is what you can expect to see once we have a working testnet.  Jordan Earls can give a better update on this later, and it’s best to ask him questions directly if you want more details.

Again, if you would like to speak with our team directly, there is always someone on Slack:

You should really use the search function instead of spamming and asking about something that was just answered on the previous page.
Are you retarded or something?

Im really getting tired of reading all the bitching you noobs are doing.  EK does not have to deliver anything, he did not initiate this project and collect any BTC.  Lannister collected our BTC "donations" and basically abandoned the project.  We should all feel fortunate that some people have picked it up and are working on it out of their own volition.

Its actually quite amazing that EK and the other people working on this project FOR FREE have not given up given the amount of losers posting here about deadlines and road maps and demanding this or that as if the people currently working on Elastic owe them anything.  These devs certainly have more patience than I do, I would have told all you whiners to F*CK OFF a long time ago.

Be happy that people have actually taken an interest in this project and devoted a lot of time to its development, these are obviously smart individuals and could be spending that time in very well paying jobs.  Fortunately for us not all people are solely driven by money.

I am very appreciative of all the hard work that EK and other have put into this project and I thank you sincerely.  However long it takes to get it to a finished state that you are satisfied with is absolutely fine.  Please ignore all the whiners in the thread who likely donated some dust and now make these frivolous demands.
