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

[alexvilis]

QTUM | AMA with CEO Patrick Dai LIVE in Singapore!
Qtum is a blockchain application platform. At its core, Qtum combines the advantages of the Unspent Transaction Output (UTXO) model, an Account Abstraction Layer allowing for multiple virtual machines, and a proof-of-stake consensus protocol aimed at tackling industry use cases. QTUM utilizes solidity smart contracts through its integration of the Ethereum Virtual Machine. Qtum's independent blockchain aims to bring smart contracts technology to mobile and connected devices, which is designed to bridge the still-existing gap between blockchain and the business world. This development strategy will also widely improve the commercialization of blockchain technology and its practicability.

The Qtum Quantum Chain, along with Pundi X in Southeast Asia, brings a new payment solution

Beijing November 24, Qtum Quantum Chain official announced it will work together with the world's leading digital finance and trading solutions provider Pundi X, Pundi X POS devices and consumer technology to the world.
Pundi X used the blockchain technology to create the Pundi-Pundi non-cash payment system. Mobile phone users simply scan two-dimensional code, you can retail and restaurants and other physical stores using digital encryption currency for instant payment. In less than a year Pundi-Pundi already has more than 100,000 registered users and more than 500 merchant partners in Jakarta and has become Indonesia's premier local payment solution. Pundi X expects to deliver up to 700,000 Pundi X POS devices to all target markets over the next three years.
In the future, Qtum Quantum Chain will provide the underlying technical support for Pundi X's underlying blockchain, which will not only enrich the Qtum quantum chain ecosystem, but will also help Qtum's quantum chain to reach Southeast Asia, especially in Indonesia. And Pundi X will also perfect their digital financial payment system based on the Qtum quantum chain, allowing more users to appreciate the conveniences blockchain brings to life. Moreover, each Pundi X POS device can connect to Qtum, Ethereum and the NEM blockchain to enable consumers to use legal currencies (U.S. dollars, Indonesian rupiahs, Thai baht, etc.) or to use bank cards, mobile wallet or Pundi X Pass Cards Easily buy or sell cryptocurrencies (QTUM, BTC, ETH, XEM, LTC, PXS tokens).

ZacCheah, CEO of PundiX, said: "Qtum Quantum Chain technical support will help reduce potential trading risks, protect customer assets and provide a better user experience." Qtum's global chain of influence will also help Pundi X in the near future to the world rather than confined to Southeast Asia. "
Qutum Co-founder Qiu Quan Qiu said: "I really appreciate the concept of Pundi X. The development of financial technology using blockchain technology is a global hot spot.I am very pleased that we can work together Pundi X, accelerate the application of blockchain technology in life It also helps to expand the community of Qtum Qtoms in South East Asia and looks forward to the fresh blood Pundi X injected into the ecosystem of the Qtum quantum chain. "

It seems to me that this project is now strongly underestimated in comparison with the capacities which he possesses. The community around the planet really growing. Many have compared 2 of the project NEO and QTUM who is better. Between them there is a struggle for the Chinese market and Korean. I think in the long the project everything will be just fine.

And such good news wonderful as above

both projects will be enough space in the market. limiting factor is uncertainty in the market ICO, but it will soon be determined legally.

From my point of view both projects have good potential there is huge space for these to grow in future. But both are long term projects so we should keep hodl them if we want to enjoy the big advantages from this journey.

Just trying to get my head around what Qtum does, or aims to do. Is it essentially a logistics management solution for businesses, which uses blockchain to support logistics tracking?

So it will create software that links this all together in an easy to use way for business?

Simple explanation is that it is a platform like ethereum that enables building of DAPPS.  It can port from ethereum network with minimal effort b/c it supports Solidity.  It's advantage is that it is POS, has decentralized governance, and is optimized for lightweight use so it can be used to run mobile DAPPS.  B/c of these advantages, DAPPS that care about mobile only are starting to choose qtum, i.e. Vevue.  It's also the only other large network besides ethereum that has a ton of DAPPS that are ICOing.  It's a huge bargain compared to the price of ethereum.  I hope we will see 50$ qtum soon.

I think it all depend on the team development strategy, both have a strong presence in Asia but I think Neo has done a better marketing strategy with the way the evolve into smart contract platform

[justvamp]

When China eventually comes back into the fold, all the asian coins will moon

That would be great But first we need Bitcoin to stop its massive expansion.

Great explanation, but aren't there a few other projects that enable building DAPPS ? I mean Qtum is obviously first in line as far as ICO's being built on it right after Ethereum, but what is the different between the other DAPP building projects and Qtum?

Are there any figures released as to which companies have ICO'd with this and how much they raised?

This would be interessting to know since this seems like a promising project.
I will keep an eye on it and try to figure it out.
I think now is a great time to fill the bags with some fresh coins since bitcoin is soaring, i think im going to drop 1btc

Part of Qtum’s appeal to IoT comes from our proof-of-stake design, qtum’s ability to execute smart contracts from light clients, and our lightning network and x86 virtual machine which are in the works.
look forward to new breakthroughs and implementations, as a result, rapid growth rates and capitalization of the company.
