I got some concerns about this Qtum ICO.
First, why are only 51% of the coins being sold to the community?
Why are they using only chinese exchanges and official website? Note that i got told by a dev on slack that Chinese exchanges are going to be the fastest way of buying Qtum, which is bad for every non-chinese investor. Not to mention that all I hear about chinese exchanges is that they are kinda shady and not trustworthy.
What will be the price/Qtum? Not so worried about it but ICO is in 9 days, could get some info on that.
The fact that it is like the first one to not share its code before the ICO, if not then I am sorry, just not aware of any other like this. And the fact that the Mainnet will only be live at least a couple months after the ICO "successful" ending.
Exchanges will keep the coins for all that time, could lead to some manipulation, steal, and whatnot.
I really like the idea, the future plans and the fact that they got a lot of media attention but this last one can also be a very bad thing.
What non Chinese exchanges would you like to see added? Im not gonna throw a name here, but any decent non chinese one. It might not end up being that important if the official website sells like 70% of the 51% available. Direct is always best. I see no issues and why would anyone complain. I would be ok if they only allowed direct. |

I didn't take the 49% tokens in the hands of the developers serious until I realize that this is a Proof of Stake project. The team want to eat their cake and have it with this structure and design of the ICO. I have comment on the exchange listing, their is no need to use exchanges when the sale is going to be available on your site, I know what these exchanges did during Firstblood ICO, they bought most of the tokens and sold it at 2X to buyers on the second day. I won't blame the exchange because they are set up to make money and if I'm in their shoes I will do thesame. Qtum team can continue to ignore these issues and be adding Roger Ver and co to the team, but what I know is that people are watching every move |

The team seems to be quiet on some issues raised about this project. It seems to me like the project would be postponed again, one week to the token sale and some things are yet to be clarify. The structure of the token sale is not out yet

Yes, we're saying early March now. We realize there needs to be a period of time between the information being released and the Token Sale. |

Nice interview, what is the role of Roger Ver at Qtum? Is he an angel investor? If so, I don't see his name is in the investors team. |

https://qtum.org/pricewaterhousecoopers-involves-in-the-qtum-project/PricewaterhouseCoopers involves in the Qtum Project
Numerous blockchain startup projects have emerged in the last couple of years, and most of them have emphasized on their strong technical capabilities. Although Qtum team has already demonstrated its technical capabilities as one of the best in the blockchain community, we wanted to make sure our project could stand out in such a bombing marketplace. Therefore, we started the Qtum project with a focus on the well-designed governance structure and robust business applications. To achieve this, the Qtum Foundation engaged a distinguished professional firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), to assist throughout the project. We believe PwC’s involvement will benefit the project in many ways with its global network and thought leadership in the financial technology industry.
Currently, PwC is supporting the project team. This includes providing comments on a whitepaper prepared by the project team, as well as on their proposed project governance structure. PwC Shanghai Fintech & Cybersecurity Service Partner CY Cheung (LinkedIn) and Senior Manager Kevin Feng (LinkedIn) are key team members involved in the Qtum project. Click here to see a post recently shared by CY Cheung about his view on the project.

And you have option to buy at website so if exchange sells 2x after ICO,you can sell and make profit  |

Yes, we're saying early March now. We realize there needs to be a period of time between the information being released and the Token Sale. It is not only in Bitcoin market that Chinese exchange has influence, they even do on ICOs. I have seen 3 ICOs schedule for February 28 postpone all because of the issue with Chinese exchanges. Early march should be two weeks time. |

That is correct, pretty much like every ICO project out there. Buy now, receive later. |

9%= academic research and education, cooperate with Best university and also promotions of Qtum adoption.(will be hold by PWC,transfer to community later)
Is it means if there is a bounty for the bounty hunters to get a more qtum token? Interesting for watch it. Their distribution is complicated.  |

I'm damn near ready to post a thread re my mega venture's ICO that quasi-aligns with #4 on the list. It'll even directly and indirectly involve #3 on the list. |

Hello qtum, this is my gift for you, hope you will like this. This gif is very awesome, it can be designed as banners spread everywhere. Qtum will have ICO very soon, what is the plan of the ICO, a set price, or non-fix price? You have many exchange ICO, which is not good, because English people can't read it. We prefer website direct ICO. |

Can this team actually promise what they promise, some of these projects are possible in theory but in practical sense not. Qtum team need to proof they can deliver what they promise by showing making their Github account active with content. |

Qtum team need to proof they can deliver what they promise by showing making their Github account active with content. Patience mate. The fact that There isn't much activities on Qtum Github account doesn't mean that they won't fulfill their promises about their Project. As we know, They already have angel investors. My guess is after ICO, Developments will begin. |
