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

[lijoe408]

it's a scammer coin for me anyway.
when the wallet release, it will dropfall as crash.

Why do you think the wallet release would result in a price cash? The tokens can already be traded pretty much already all via IOU.

Some people are making this project look bad by spamming other threads. Somebody has bought a lot of old accounts and is using them to make this coin look like a spammer garbagecoin. Or is it the devs of this coin that are spamming other threads?

[tippytoes]

Spamming QTUM from different accounts is defenitely a redflag. Not gonna even consider this a good coin nor your marketing team - decent.

Have you not read this thread? It's not the official team that is spamming.

We believe it's a coordinated attack, by DDoS'ing our website and sending mass spam messages on Bitcointalk and Slack channels to annoy people.

Don't expect everyone to believe this your makeup story, if you're under attack just as you have claim, then what are you doing to stop it.
Why is it sending the same type of msg to people, why not random msg?

You have a point on that. I'm fed up with this qtum. Nothing to do with their lives. They already got their money so better get lost.

Hey guys,
why is QTUM being traded only on Chinese exchanges. Will it be buyable for the West some time? Or is this a China exclusive coin?

You can buy via Bizhongchou but it's in chinese so if you can figure it out by translating to english it would be possible to deposit Eth and buy some.

It's pretty clear.. On the day of launch the website went down, got hacked, things were slowed down, etc. all due to the hacks paired with the spamming. I think it's pretty clear that someone is trying to throw some FUD here to scare people away and load up..

Separately for Gleb.. US Investors were actually able to participate in the ICO through Bizhongchou and I can verify this works.

I agree that it's possible, but Team Qtum said that it's illegal for US citizens to partake in the ICO, having defence mechanisms in place to ward off the practice so that they'll be 100% compliant, but with tons of US citizens still partaking in the ICO et al. as I've easily demonstrated, that doesn't say much about their defense mechanisms, eh?

can you participate the EOS ICO ?

seems no American....

can you participate the EOS ICO ?

seems no American....

I wonder how much the EOS ICO is having a negative effect on the Qtum price right now.  Over 84% of EOS market trading (Yunbi & BTER) is EOS/CNY trading pair. 

I hope the Chinese buyers realize the ICO isn't over and it will go for nearly a full year.

Definitely having an impact.. Almost an inverse correlation between rallies / drops.

I believe the reason for the Massive attention EOS is getting is due to Fomo and in a bid to get their hands on EOS tokens, A lot of these investors haven't taken out time to read the full T&Cs. Some don't even know the ICO is still on.

To begin with, the Token Purchase Agreement specifically emphasized that the EOS token has no purpose. It read:

“As mentioned above, the EOS Tokens do not have any rights, uses, purpose, attributes, functionalities or features, expressed or implied. Although EOS Tokens may be tradable, they are not an investment, currency, security, commodity, a swap on a currency, security, or commodity or any kind of financial instrument.”

To potential investors, EOS emphasized that EOS is not an investment and its tokens are not considered as cryptocurrencies. Such explanation questioned the necessity of the EOS token and the reason why the vast majority of investors purchased $185 million worth of EOS tokens.

Speechless!

BlockchainHack Russia

07-03-2017

BlockchainHack, which took place this past weekend at the Pavletsky Art Center in Moscow, was the largest blockchain in Russia to date. Over one hundred developers participated in the event and even more came to learn about blockchain technology. The weekend started off with 45 groups which were narrowed down to 25. Developers stayed up all night to win part of $100,000 in prizes. BlockchainHack was made possible by the almost 20 partners that helped organize, fund, and promote the hackathon.

The third place Qtum prize for 1,000 Qtum tokens went to BlockJudge. BlockJudge is an arbitration service based on smart contracts and a reputation system. In the case of conflicts, customers can open a dispute in our arbitration system. The arbitrators/judges stake their reputation and arbitrators reward distribution depending on it so, they are motivated to resolve a dispute fairly. Check out the team’s project on https://github.com/BlockJudge/BlockJudge

The second place Qtum prize for 2,500 Qtum tokens went to Jufy. Jufy is an app that lets people see upcoming ICOs and participate in them through the app. The team of two plans to follow through with the app they built and make it available to everyone in the future. We hope that these two students have enough time over summer to get this out, we can’t wait.

The first place Qtum prize for 5,000 Qtum tokens went to Wafer. Wafer is a decentralized router sharing service. The platform supports two options: to distribute the Internet for rent through a router or to lease traffic from an Internet router that distributes it. With the advent of the platform, people no longer have to do without the Internet when it is necessary - at any time the user can find the nearest distributing router and rent traffic. Here’s there Github: https://github.com/playertwo/wafer

We would like to thank all the developers and people who made BlockchainHack such a success. We realize that it’s always a little difficult to try new things and get them working in just one weekend. So, for the developers who were building on Qtum, our hats are off to you. We hope we can come back soon to host another hackathon in Russia, but until then, keep building.

I'll be honest here and say that I do not recall it saying that it was illegal just that you had to go through the Bizhongchou website as opposed to any of the other exchanges.

Again, to be fair, I took the liberty and used the word "illegal" in spite of it probably not been stated by Team Qtum. That said, if it were legal for US citizens to partake in the ICO, they 100% wouldn't have been excluded in the fund raising campaign, ergo I stand by my word choice. Recall, we're talkin' SEC guidelines, hence opting to register in Singapore as a non-profit to circumnavigate various Nation States regulations.

US Citizens were able to participate in the ICO (I got some) but only through the Bizhongchou exchange. All other avenues were closed and I imagine that provider might've been the only one that was certified to transact with US Citizens.

What will Qtum do differently than Ethereum to deal with scalability issues?

[Qtum]

What will Qtum do differently than Ethereum to deal with scalability issues?

We've implemented some aspects that are being discussed in the Bitcoin community, including 2mb block size and Segregated Witness. Our block target is about 2 minutes, about 5 times faster than Bitcoin Core, but not so short that we have blocks with no (or very few transactions) being processed.

If this isn't enough, our Decentralized Governance Protocol allows Qtum Token holders to change certain variables on the network, including the block size. This means if we run into issues in the future, instead of arguing about what to do, users can just fix the issue by voting. The nodes will accept the changes, and there will be no need to fork.
