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

[Dxt]

"Qtum, a forthcoming digital currency and open source community project, announced this week that it had passed $1 million in backing from top industry executives. Some of the project’s high-profile supporters include co-founder of Ethereum and founder of Jaxx Blockchain Interface, Anthony Di Iorio; co-founder of Augur and EIR at Blockchain Capital, Jeremy Gardner; OkCoin CEO, Star Xu; blockchain technology advocate Bo Shen; billionaire Kuaidi Dache founder, Chen Weixing; and Chinese angel investor Xiaolai Li, among others."

A very strong team. I look forward to the beginning of the ICO and the details of the project. Who will play the role of oracles?

As far as I've understood about Qtum, it is similar to BTC but Smart Contracts is something different in crypto currencies. If a user receives Qtum via email, the wallet is linked to their email but how will they use those coins? Just send them to another user's email? And how to see the balance? We would at sometime need to create a wallet right?

It's good to see Wechat and Whatsapp being considered and this means even Skype would be considered? Hope so as many people use this messenger.

It would be better if you can provide some screenshots too in the OP to explain this better.

seems my signature has some problems?
 

Qloha is a nice project.. wechat has 800M users all over the world.

if all the users can use Qtum, that will make Qtum become very popular.

i like your idea integrate Qtum with social medias

Blockchain technology has attracted the attention of many industries. However, commercial use cases have faced challenges. "The Qtum project is for real business needs".

It looks a better project. You have a serious team for to give progress to the project. I am searching about the info of your ICO and want to know that from where will you start your ICO. I will suggest that a part of the ICO is started at bittrex then it will be better. I often participate in bittrexx ICO.

We're just finishing up our Angel backing round, it's basically closed.  The working testnet, with EVM integration into Bitcoin Core v0.13, will be announced soon.  The source code we simply can't release until it's close to our token sale, which will be March 1st. 

Interesting March 1st, that is between six-seven weeks time, so the signature will end when the ICO begins or you are looking to extend it to the ICO period.

The English version of the whitepaper is being edited, and will be released in January 2017.

Is it already available?
The project looks interesting, but the launching date is only the March 1st ?!
Let's see what will have happened by that time.
Good luck for whole team!

4. Ability to manage contracts from mobile wallets without running a full node
6. Oracles and datafeeds built on top of the Ethereum Virtual Machine

Nice features I will wait for this.Smart contracts from mobile wallets is realy good for all users that dont require full node to run.By the way I hope this project became successful.

With more and more internet users shifting to mobile,contract management through mobile wallet will definitely take Qtum step ahead.This will revolutionize entire crypto space and am sure many other projects will follow the suit.

I see that you got an award from the Blockchain Summit 2016 but will you join this summit, the Blockchain Summit 2017 which is going to happen at February 9, 2017, I think that there will be lots of questions and the answers could be useful/helpful for the community!

This is one of the things we're working on, getting the news out.  We have received all kinds of awards and praise from Blockchain industry types, in fact right now I'm sitting beside a giant cheque that we won in 2016.  Even Vitalik starts talking about us at the 10 minute mark

To give you a direct answer, I'm not sure if we'll be at the 2017 summit.  I know Earlz is at a conference right now.  I'll ask Patrick when we meet today.

I'm happy that you guys got many awards and this have probably motivated you to work more in the project, I'm not sure about the pricing in the Blockchain Summit 2017 but it would be a good opportunity to join there, I wish you good luck guys and looking forward to hear good news about QTUM.

[BTCspace]

can you give us more introductions about your go mobile strategy?

thank you

Would it really be safe for users?
Some believe that this is scam and will wait and test its operation to see that such seems to me.
Good luck with the project.

Yeah right. The Mobile Market is large. And  If Qtum can really utilize Mobile Market effectively, Then I see no reason why This Project will fail.

I want to ask also when do you release social campaign like twitter campaign and Facebook campaign ? I want to join can you inform me if this release ?

Technical Summary

In this section we will discuss the Qtum Blockchain, a new Cryptocurrency created for consumers and businesses. Qtum is designed to be secure, stable, and fast. Quantum has expanded the scripting language of Bitcoin Core, so that it will now be possible to run Smart Contracts based on the Unspent Transaction Output model (UTXO).  This means Qtum will not require the use of accounts to execute contracts between interested parties. Existing Ethereum Smart Contracts can be ported to Qtum with minimal changes. Other virtual machines and programming languages will be supported as the project matures. There will be functionality for third party data feeds and oracles, along with ‘off chain’ data processing. Qtum’s consensus model will utilize Sunny King’s classic Proof-of-Stake, which will secure the Blockchain, while rewarding coin holders.

Qtum aims to bring a new ‘Value Transfer Protocol’ to the industry. Bitcoin has done a tremendous service to the commerce and finance industry by providing a means of value transfer, and we would like to expand on this momentum. We plan to support the Qtum Blockchain with Smart Contracts that allow users to control coins by taking advantage of various Internet Protocols.
One project that will be released as a working beta is SpringEmail, which uses a modified Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP).  This allows users to send and receive Qtum as part of an e-mail.  We call this hybrid protocol “BiSMTP”.  This should lessen the learning curve for users interested in Qtum but do not have a wallet.

Looking forward to what comes of Qtum. While ETH doesn't excite me much, having earlz involved and a new approach on PoS does!
