[ANN] (QTUM) - A Scalable Smart Contract Platform w/ Proof of Stake

[AlcatelBravo]

Smart Contacts with Bitcoin QT based, Coindesk talking about it already, Articles already being written.... Where do I sign up ? Sounds amazing

[RidgyDidge]

Looks good, time will only tell but I probably will invest a teensy bit into it when available.

"Qtum, a blockchain project that aims to maintain compatibility with existing processes from Bitcoin and Ethereum, has raised $1 million in funding, CoinDesk reported.

According to the whitepaper, The Quantum Blockchain or ‘Qtum’ is a combination of Bitcoin Core, Proof-of-Stake, and the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). The end product, Qtum Core, will allow smart contracts to execute on a Proof-of-Stake consensus model. This ecosystem was designed to provide a familiar environment for Smart Contract and Decentralized Application developers.

The project has received support from a number of notable entrepreneurs in the cryptocurrency and blockchain space including ethereum founder Anthony Di Iorio, OKCoin CEO Star Xu, BitFund founder Xiaolai Li and Fenbushi partner Bo Shen.

Patrick Dai, founder of the Qtum Foundation, told CoinDesk that the amount raised will help the team to prepare the infrastructure required to sell the tokens in a public initial coin offering (ICO), or a public sale of unique cryptographic tokens to investors.

"We raised the money to prove that our approach is right. We used the money to do the minimum viable product. The testnet is live now, but it is private, it is already working”, he said, adding that the Qtum Foundation could seek to raise up to $10m in the token offering.

The project kicked off in March 2016 as a proof-of-concept, and so far it has completed the design of the Qtum model – the world’s first digital currency that can execute smart contracts with a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism based on an Unspent Transaction Output (UTXO) model, as reported by Bitcoin Magazine.

Earlier this month, Qtum said that the team is currently working to make new wallets for desktop and mobile Qtum users. In addition, it is also working to merge the EVM and PoS branches of Qtum. It further added:

“We are extensively testing the Qtum implementation. In addition to Bitcoin and EVM automated tests, we are writing a Qtum specific test suite. Other than automated testing, manual testing is currently taking place as well. After in-house testing, we will request external code reviews and tests from independent software developers and companies.”

Qtum said that after the initial Qtum prototype passes testing procedures, it will be time to launch the Qtum testnet, which has been codenamed ‘Sparknet’. This would mark the final real world test before the official release."

Nice article that presents for many people main and unique features of the developed Qutum technology like smart contracts on a Proof-of-Stake consensus model. Developers already have initial capital for the start of work. Iko will increase the capital and provide a team of developers tools for the successful project development and promotion. This project looks one of the most promising for investments in 2017 year.

Nice project i really liked the idea of it will definitely try it soon

Some of the names quoted in the EconoTimes article are easy to recognize. It's good to see them on the scene, because there are investors who would certainly not invest if the project did not have great relevance, and this has the potential to attract more investors.

The amount raised will also make a big difference. Developers will need it to compete with existing projects.

i like your progress with this project, it think it will have a big succes and i wish you good luck to be the best project of 2017

I told you guys about this project seens amazing, reach 1 million in funding such awesome. Things like Smart Contracts with BitcoinQT model, plus another trustable sites talking about it. It's possible Qtum can reach prices high of most profitable coins right now. I really want to mine this ICO. Anxiety is killing me.

Really now the company should focus on importing their coin to end users where it can be beneficial to lot of users. Better qtum has great platform where viral marketing is the main aspect in making normal things into big. Please give some boosting to investors that every one should be who ever have this qtum asset with them.

It makes me remind the ark and chronobank projects, we can see their advertisements everywhere, in the forum, in coinmarketcap advertisement, and even in google adsense advertisement network. Good marketing is very important to ico coins. It will bring thousands or even more investment to kick start the project.

amazing guys ..
I am very tempted to want to invest and get qtum, unfortunately I do not have sufficient funds
If the master is very pleased to hold a campaign more, I was very ready ...
I would like to ask how the already accumulated funds now
and when the ico will end?

[Enticed87]

With the amount of people interested with legit nature and the word of mouth going around this is sure to be a good thing, where can one get into this early ?

[delords]

I am in already, how about bounty... Good for bounty hunters 😜

[t2yax]

Qtum project raised 1mil usd,but we are not even in ico,this means project is going to be succesfull

[poetra2501]

I am really optimistic about this project and looking forward for it. It also coming at a time when there are not much new things coming up and this will boost with its some of the good features.

Right, we're very optimistic that this project will be success and be great project in 2017.
We know if the Qtum ICO combines blockchain bitcoin and ethereum, I think that's advantages of this project.

[ReLieD]

I dont think there needs to be so many translation.
Well btw the people who post in this forum or read topics , already know english.
So probable most of the people will understand.
Well having translations is not a problem at all.
Its just like wasting money.

[mkmdoc]

The major advertising resources have been greatly implemented in this project, people has given their contribution to advertise it vitally. Qtum is completely different project where users are completely attracted Smart Contract Platform. Really this will lead the next generation crypto for sure.

Qtum project raised 1mil usd,but we are not even in ico,this means project is going to be succesfull

Thats true, Project is going on successfully. Ico doesn't make sense, the project uniqueness when compared with other ongoing projects has made it reach $1m in a very short time period.

$1m is only for angel investors, and they support the marketing fund of the campaign, we can see more bounty on signature bounty. The huge campaigns will bring huge traffic and investment.

Yes. Bounty program and signature company are very generous. We immediately see that the project organizers approached very seriously to its advertising and public relations.
I think the project is promising and bring new technologies to the world of cryptography.

    why not have a choice? I wish to receive coins Qtum discount for bounties rather than BTC. Qtum I like more BTC sorry for my English
