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

[cybterpunk]

There is a real excitement about Qtum, here and there, the team has a solid strategy as we can see. It could be full of surprises...

It is now confirmed that the crowd sale will start on March 1st.  I hope the direct sale on Qtum website is supported by well known established escrows since I do not plan to participate from the Chinese exchanges.  Anyways, time to start gathering up bitcoins for the ICO, it's only 1 month away.  

Hello I just want to ask why you dont want to participate on any Chinese exchanges? is there any difference to other exchanges?

I have never used a Chinese exchange so I would prefer to just use exchanges I am familiar with such as Poloniex, Bittrex, C-Cex and Yobit.  I have nothing against using a Chinese exchange but I just don't want to sign up just for the ICO and never use them again.  It's just more of a convenience to me to participate in the ICO directly off of Qtum's website and do all my trading on sites I've been using for years.  

I am in the case as you

hello from Chinese WeChat community.
right now, all Chinese exchange platform support English.
from Chinese community, we know you can invest through Qtum official website too.
i think the reason for Chinese exchange platform is Qtum have a large community in china. more than 3000 people in Qtum WeChat and QQ group.
hopefully later Qtum can have more than 5000 people before the ico in China.

any source code updates?

Just heard that the results of the project will be out soon.
Eager / keep to get a positive response

It looks like the ICO will start on March 1st.  Has there been any information posted regarding the ICO details?  With the attention the Qtum project is receiving, there is no doubt the ICO will be very successful.  Time to gather up some bitcoins for the ICO.  

Is that true? Thats too long. They should release it soon. Cant wait too see the result of this project. I will just wait when the tokens are available on exchange sites. This project has a future. They should release the white paper soon. This project is huge.

I guess in the cryptocurrency world a month can feel like eternity.  However, a solid project like Qtum is worth waiting for.  The ICO starts in a month and will last for a month.  It is at least 2 months before anything is released or launched.  Get your bitcoins ready!

Glad to hear that you announce your team, the date when the ICO will live and the Qtum website. But trully i don't think people beside Chinese familiar with Chinese exchange even they have english support but common exchange more comfortable to use, i hope you will use this too, Yobit, C-Cex, Poloniex, Bittrex etc. Thanks

I may be wrong but I think both campaigns are now full and no longer accepting participants.  Might want to check with campaign manager to confirm. Translations might still be available though if the language hasn't been translated yet.  Good luck.

There was also another campaign by Qtum and that was the suggestion and advise campaign. That was a great idea by the team but that campaign is now closed because I think they have collected enough suggestions from the members of this forum. I hope they will announce some more bounties in the coming future.

Campaign has got some free slots, but the continued request to the manager to enroll members even after getting denied had made the applications for the campaign to be closed. Has clearly mentioned about the reason for closing in the campaign's first page.

Qtum is a trusted project. No doubt about that. and Confidence can be bought by Escrow in case of Crypto Currencies. one more thing which makes this project trusted is that it is initiated by china investors and Chinese are most honest nation currently in the world.

I think escrow can't guarantee the investor to take part in ICO. Because I ever disappointed with another ICO, they escrow by someone with a good reputation.
Escrow just one way to make we are believe to this ICO, but not ensure success of ICO in the future.

Escrow can not guarantee the success of any ICO,infact noone can not even devs and promoters, but escrow is used for the safety of investors in some untoward incident.
Since qtum will sell tokens through bif and reputed exchanges, there is no need to use escrow.

As far as I understand you are doing something with telecommunications and email. Sounds interesting I would love to see how it works. I dont think anything has been done like this before. This 100million dollar worth industry you are going to work with sounds impressive but we will have to see how it goes. I also wonder how you incorporate telecommunications with a crypto currency ? That will be interesting.

Indeed. Escrow will make the ICO more success because more and more people will trust the system and invest money to the project. And of course, Qtum is too strong and very reliable. Therefore, I think it is not necessary to use escrow here.

i think people wants to get safe with their money so we can see that many ICO is use escrow. for ICO itself, they need to be trusted from the investor so they can make investing on that ICO. i hope this project will be succesful like other ICO and many investor will join with Qtum.
