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

[Qtum]

What will happen if the number of IOUs purchased will surpass the total number of qtum available?

This shouldn't happen, the IOU's being traded represent the total Qtum that was sold during the crowdsale. The exchanges know that in September, we will be sending them only the amount of Qtum that they were allocated to sell. If there's a discrepancy, they will be responsible.

Guys,

I bought some QTUMs (IOU I guess) on allcoin so theorically I am able to withdraw them to my MEW wallet ?!
If yes, what is the info to add (add custom token) ?
Also, if I withdraw them to my MEW, will they be automatically convert to QTUM in September ?

Sorry if I look stupid lol...

Qtum tokens will not swap automatically if withdrawn as an ERC20 token. There will either be a swap contract available, or they will need to be sent to an exchange after September 30th. More information will be available as we reach September.

What the ERC20 tokens do for you is allow you to take possession of your Qtum, if you do not want to leave them on an exchange. After September 30th, there will be methods available for a swap.

When you are withdrawing Qtum ERC20, please make sure to do a small test transaction first to make sure you have everything working.

Any day now.

Hello there, do you know if qtum is going to hit any exchange like bitfinex - kraken - poloniex - bittrex, ecc?

Our Main Network hasn't been released yet, and exchanges rely mostly on community requests to list a project. Poloniex told us earlier this year that they simply do not host crowdsales anymore, but they will keep an eye on our project.

With the release of our ERC20 token, participants can now take possession of their Qtum. If they would like to leave them on the exchange, in September, their IOU's will be converted to Main Network tokens.

This ERC20 token gives our participants the ability to withdraw their Qtum from existing exchanges. We realized that people wanted control of their tokens, so this was addressed. The ability for other exchanges to list the project is an added bonus, but we are not actively pursuing any. Two exchanges have shown interest, but there's guarantee this may happen.

Why wouldn't you actively pursue for the western exchanges to list your coin? It doesn't make any sense - it would bring value and liquidity. Will you actively pursue your coin being listed following release of the mainnet in September?   

After the main net is released in September, the exchanges will be actively pursuing QTUM...

I want to trade BTC or ETH directly for QTUM.  I have no CNY.

I signed up for Yunbi but they only have QTUM/CNY pair.

If I deposit some BTC into Yunbi, will a trading screen for BTC/QTUM suddenly appear?

Is this possible anywhere?

Bizhongchou.com

Thanks but I need an English site.  

BTER.COM supposedly has QTUM/BTC, but shows very low volume.

Regardless, the BTER signup process doesn't work, giving an 'Invalid verification code' error.

After Buzhongchou loads a translate button should appear

Sorry, I do not see a any translate button.   And is this Buzhongchou legit?  It is not listed on coinmarketcap as a known exchange.

Through vpn should be able to solve the verification code is invalid

Really? You are saying the error message is inaccurate and the problem is my country?   So I need a VPN that terminates in China?

Bizhongchou is definitely legit. Very good exchange, I have had no problems with them and when I email them they respond pretty quick. There should be a translate button that appears on the top right. I'm not sure what is wrong on your end, but it works for me.

I took pictures of the site translated and a pic of the the translate button, but I don't know how to upload a pic here... You have to be on Chrome for it to work.

Qtum circulating supply right now is 71M coin : 51M in Crowdsale+ 8M for Angel Backers +12M for dev team.

All 71M coin are in circulation now.

Another 29M coin will gradually in circulation in the next 4 years. for more details, you can check the economy paper: https://qtum.org/en/white-papers

if you want to trace the current Qtum in circulation, here is the real time API: https://qtum.org/circulation

we will contact coinmarketcap later.

thank you for your support.

Coinmarketcap still shows 51M.  If it's 71 that would put it right outside the top 10.

So the QTUMs that ara avaliable to buy on exchanegs are basically IOU, not real QTUMs?

Yes - IOU's are available on the Chinese exchanges. Qtum has now released  ERC20 tokens as a temporary solution until main net is launched in September. They are not listed on any exchanges at the moment.

The IOU‘s price has drop a lot compare to open price!
when the  main net is launched,will the price pump ?
we are hope more than the higher price of the IOU‘s price

The previous price pumped right before the testnet release.  It will probably do the same before Mainnet release.  Whether the price is able to sustain itself depends on whether it gets picked up by big exchanges and whether there are any big ICOs imo.

So how long does it actually take them to release the tokens once you've given them an ETH address to deposit into? I would be referring to the exchange: bizhongchou.com

Update:

Watch the AMA with Tim Draper of Draper University, co-hosted by Patrick Dai of the Qtum Project (A Draper University alumni)

Draper University held their quarterly "Ask Me Anything" with Tim Draper, co-founder of DFJ and Draper University this past Tuesday. Tim answered questions about Draper University and explaining why he plans to make ICO's and Cryptocurrencies a core module in the upcoming Fall program at Draper University. Tim Draper was an early supporter of bitcoin and its underlying blockchain financial ledger technology. Tim is also an early investor in companies such as Tesla, Hotmail, Skype, etc. and co-founded DFJ Venture Capital.

During the AMA, many of the participants focused their questions around Tim’s recent blockchain investments, what countries he thinks are the most forward thinking regarding the technology, and the future of ICOs.

Patrick Dai, one of Draper University's graduates and Founder of the Qtum Foundation co-hosted the livestream and detailed how attending Draper University enabled him to pursue a blockchain startup.

Patrick highlighted his experience during survival week as making him more resilient and agile, something that is especially needed being in the blockchain industry. Patrick also talked about how Qtum is different from other blockchain projects and his hopes to expand the industry by working with Draper University in the future.

For those interested in applying to Draper University, Qtum will be giving away 50 Qtum tokens to the first 100 applicants of Draper U for this upcoming semester. We hope you learn a lot while you're there, just as Patrick and John did! Apply at: rebrand.ly/apply  and learn more at http://www.draperuniversity.com/

Draper University


Silicon Valley's top entrepreneurship program founded by Tim Draper. Startup bootcamp and crash course in business and entrepreneurship.
 


Watch Draper University's Ask Me Anything with Tim Draper on Livestream.com. Join us for our quarterly Draper University "Ask Me Anything" with Tim Draper, co-founder of DFJ and Draper University. Tim will explain the rationale behind why cryptocurrencies and ICO's are now a separate module in the Draper University Fall program. Learn more at Draperuniversity.com. We will have John Scianna, one of our Draper University graduates and a Marketing Director at the Qtum Foundation to co-host the livestream and detail how attending Draper Unviersity enabled him to pursue a blockchain startup. Qtum raised $15.6 million in March, making it the fourth largest blockchain crowdsale at the time and released its testnet, “Sparknet,” in June. Qtum is the first proof-of-stake blockchain platform with smart contract technology. Qtum has built-in a decentralized governance protocol that allows blockchain parameters to be changed by votes from different stakeholders. With this technology, the Qtum blockchain becomes self-regulating, self-modifying, and self-aware. Tim Draper was an early supporter of bitcoin and its underlying blockchain financial ledger technology. He participated in the Tezos slated ICO which raised $200M+ within four days. Tim is also an early investor in companies such as Tesla, Hotmail, Skype, etc. and co-founded DFJ Venture Capital

Can someone tell me why the coins being traded do no match the ones that are being distributed on the core wallet. I must have the wrong wallet. Can someone please confirm for me. I am on version Qtum Core version v0.14.0.0-a633d64-dirty (32-bit)

The core wallet we provide is for our Test Network, which is different than what you see on the exchanges. What's being traded on the exchanges is an IOU, which can be withdrawn as an ERC20 token. When the Main Network is released in September, all of the ERC20 tokens will be converted to Qtum.

On a development note, here is the updates this week done to Qtumd. Please read carefully, there may be big news coming.







Changes made through this week to the core wallet

Work completed:

[Build/Documentation] Instructions were added and a few things fixed for compiling Qtum for Windows

[P2P] Fixed a bug within the P2P network where blocks bigger than 4Mb could not be properly propagated

[Build/EVM] Fixed a bug where cryptopp within the EVM would not build properly on some versions of Linux

[Research/x86] Did research for the x86 VM and determined it is most likely viable as a smart contract platform

In-progress work and soon to be fixed bugs:

[PoS/Consensus] Testing and reviewing MPoS for preparation of merge into testnet-2

[DGP/Consensus] Testing and reviewing DGP for preparation of merge into testnet-2

[Staker/PoS] Adding new command line arguments and logic to the staker so that it can properly prioritize contract transactions

[Consensus] Working on fixing two minor security issues in the sparknet/testnet-1

So what will happen with these coins?

[akamy789]

Qtum pretty good today, fell to the bottom of the time to buy two days ago, has now doubled, really awesome, it is because the new on the international platform

[coin@coin]

QTUM on Bittrex is pretty good news! Been watching this for a while now time for some action!

Will give the testnet a try too, be ready for when the network goes live.

[dfebrero]

Is there any QTUM events planned in Europe, with QTUM devs ?
