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

[Gleb Gamow]

Yesterday I worked with Neil to sure up some of the design of the AAL to make it more secure and resistant to attack. This concept is internally called "condensing transactions" and helps to make the consensus-critical portion of Qtum greatly more simple (which is always good from a security standpoint). Now the fun part of writing up this design, finding any edge cases, and then coding it up

Next time use "to shore up some", then Neil won't send you this as a reply:

... wat

To shore up, oppose to sure up, as in ...

"To be sure, Paramount is hardly alone in attempting to shore up numbers that have been sliding at an alarming rate." ref. http://www.dictionary.com/browse/shore--up

Don't you find it strange that no one from the team is directly addressing what seems like very legitimate concerns?  Sure, there are some people just trolling in the thread, but dismissing the other questions many long-term members have raised, seems ignorant to say the least.  This is a public relations nightmare, and surprising that no one seems to realize that you should have gotten out in front of the story, rather than simply ignoring the thread.

Starting to get really funny here, I wonder why half brain Sherlock is ignoring icocountdown scam records and quoting his weak article.

Oh wait he did not get paid to dig'em up

I don't know who is paid or not, and actually find that irrelevant.  If there are reasonable responses for the concerns raised, all Qtum has to do is post them in the thread.

I agree that the team have been quite silent in regards to some legitimate questions, but there is also a desperate and probably paid for trolling and astroturfing campaign going on here. this thread is so trashed with some really crazy (and irrelevant) accusations.

Hopefully the team will put more effort into addressing the legitimate concerns.

Well, if it isn't cocksuckeroverflow making his daily rounds. Reads to me like Shit for Brains doesn't have a clue as to whom is quoting whom (or should those be WHOs?). Remember, all any person on this planet has to do is provide definitive proof to theymos that I have received payment JUST ONCE for any posting, and theymos has my permission to ban me for life on this forum.

Meanwhile, half-brain Sherlock has more shit to post:

Over the past years, the Chinese seem to have displayed great competence in hardware design and manufacturing, evidenced by the fast rise of companies such as avalon and to a greater degree, bitmain, contrasted by the fall of their overseas competitors. But the club of increasingly small number is seeing a newcomer - a previously unknown brand called Yibite.

Last week an invitation email found its way into my email inbox. I was invited by the company to attend their new product launch event in Chengdu, Sichuan tmr. For uninitiated, the province of Sichuan has become a hotbed for bitcoin mining due to abundant hydropower; it is also the place where yours truly chose to locate his moderate SinoHash farm.

I am not sure if I will attend, as I am expecting to receive a new shipment of S9 over the next three days and want to put them online asap. Just post this here thinking that it may interest some of you.

Some key points after a brief review of the email:
The company is publicly listed (at least claim to be - I haven't looked it up), which may give it some legitimacy
The company promise to give 6-month warranty, whilst Bitmain gives you a meager 3 months.
The company claims to have power efficiency of 140W/T, which doesn't seem to be especially impressive.
The company claims that they will release 5,000 units at the launch event.

Anyway, I think this is an interesting development.

Disclaimer: I am not in anyway associated with the company (Yibite) or compensated by it to post this

Let me guess, cocksuckeroverflow, you don't know how to quit me. BTW, the last time Team Qtum addressed a legitimate concern, viz. Patrick Dai et al., they dug themselves a deeper rabbit hole, making room now so that all their friends and associates could rest comfortably numb.

Wait one fuckin second, Eric Mu! On Dec. 9, 2016, you never heard of Yibite ...

Over the past years, the Chinese seem to have displayed great competence in hardware design and manufacturing, evidenced by the fast rise of companies such as avalon and to a greater degree, bitmain, contrasted by the fall of their overseas competitors. But the club of increasingly small number is seeing a newcomer - a previously unknown brand called Yibite.

But on July 10, 2014, you wrote this ...

https://www.forbes.com/sites/ericxlmu/2014/07/10/chinese-bitcoin-e-commerce-websites-emerge-without-fanfare/#3ce07d9e45ff

“When introducing yourself, show that you have the proper background to avoid being shunned as an outsider. Tell people you are a Yibite member, a mining equipment vendor, or a trader; if you are none of these, at least set up a shop on Boluojishi and tell people that you are a Boluojishi vendor.”

Again, thank you James Gong for starting up Yibite, and Red Li of 8btc.com for reporting on it, both dudes now a major part of Qtum.

Followers of the revered cocksuckeroverflow will soon be informed if this post is considered FUD or not, most likely via smoke signals stemming outta his ass from the burning gerbils.

Kuaidi, a taxi company only rival in size to Uber in all of China, teamed up with blockchain tech, has its CEO, Joe C Lee, enjoying a massive following on Twitter: https://twitter.com/jc2lee



It fuckin amazes me that Joe C Lee is a major backer of Qtum, yet never mentions anything about Qtum to his massive fan base on Twitter. I mean, the dude owns the second largest taxi thingy in all of China, surely some of his astute fares would love to learn his secret to success, e.g. investing in an entity were everybody watches each other's backs.

Here's another profile from alumnius.net (the first one I found was of Ibai Basabe): http://alumnius.net/university_of_califo-7951-391

That's not even the same person...they just both have the same name but they have completely different backgrounds.  The girl whose profile you linked went to NYU Stern while the Amelie Zhao that's supposedly working on Qtum went to a German university.  And their photos don't match at all outside of them both being thin Asian females.

Hey, if we're going by what's scribed on Qtum's website, then a professional poker player is defined as one who spends less than a buck to enter tourneys, and cashes out just under eleven bucks as his biggest win. The next thing you'll be telling me is that the following is not pic of an elephant's ass last seen in Qtum's office:

I must say its really sad to see a project so promising in the last few weeks enshrined in controversy few weeks after. Although not part of the campaign, but I saw the aggressiveness in participants coupled with the nice rewards attached to it but seeing all this reports coming from every angle, its really unfortunate. And I hope this project can recover which is going to be very difficult.

There's a lot of actors who've put in tremendous amount of work into this venture with individually or collectively working as a team in hopes of gaining the projected prize - $10M. Sadly, the English-speaking world could say all they want about this project but it'll all fall on deaf ears cuz it's aimed at mostly their fellow Chinamen.

we need to report this to moderator and lock this scam thread

No, wait, there's more!

Amazing what a two-bit Sherlock-wannabe can dig up via Google, giving more fodder to cocksuckers who get their kicks dissing the messenger, eh?

"Yi Lihua <or is it Lihua Yi; sometimes Chinese use different names"

Hi, Glew, actually they are same people, Yi is family name, Lihua is given name.

Chinese people's tradition is to put family name at first, not like western countries, usually put family name after given name. Therefore, Yi Lihua is the Chinese translation name, Lihua Yi is western translation name. They are same people.

I think you should be grateful to those people who from their precious time use it to expose this scam, alot of people would have lost their money including me, I decided not to invest in another ICO because I rate Qtum project better, but it ended up being a scam. The team have no answer to all the obvious questions that has been raised here, they use to be very active on this forum then but when this scam thing came to light they decided to withdraw into their shell

"Seriously, did you really have to go there?"

[BicolIsarog]

So let's wait about how many bitcoins They will collect on there ICO. So what is the purpose of articles that posted in Coindesk, Fores etc. Thats all are fake?

[shillfudder]

For many who are ignoring the obvious shadiness, investing in QTUM is like...



LOL  Can't help yourselves, QTUM is so hot!

Maybe the vast majority of them are people who lost $1000's from Stevens ICO scam! People are trying to help you all not loss your money and you call them trolls!? Seriously you can't  argue with stupidity! Good look in your QTUM investment . . .
