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

I do not want to buy a hardware wallet, I want to be able to be like here: https://kb.myetherwallet.com/offline/making-offline-transaction-on-myetherwallet.html

use this one

qtumwallet.org

I also using this wallet from long time without any problem especially in case if I want to store something as hot wallet. This is good choice to keep our coins into this wallet it provide good security features.

That's fine, you can use the QT wallet to safely store your Qtum. It's a really good idea to use a dedicated device to store your coins:

http://docs.qtum.site/en/QTUM-wallet-usage-best-practices/

administrators of Windows can see all our passwords

So long as your Windows computer is secure (no keyloggers, viruses, other people using computer) it should be fine. While there is no absolute security, having an encrypted wallet on a Windows computer with a strong password is far better than leaving your Qtum on an exchange.

Qtum Platform Now Available Through Amazon Web Services

"Singapore-based Qtum has launched its decentralized application (DApp) development platform on Amazon Web Services (AWS). With this launch, AWS users and developers will be able to develop and launch smart contracts using an Amazon Machine Image (AMI), made up of Qtum Core, Solidity and Qmix web IDE."

Singapore-based Qtum has launched its decentralized application (DApp) development platform on Amazon Web Services (AWS). With this launch, AWS users and developers will be able to develop and launch smart contracts using an Amazon Machine Image (AMI), made up of Qtum Core, Solidity and Qmix web IDE.

Qtum is a hybrid platform, developed by the Qtum Foundation, which uses the Account Attraction Layer, an interface layer, to merge the strength of Bitcoin’s blockchain with the Ethereum Virtual Machine to build decentralized applications. Designed as a toolkit, the platform uses the proof-of-stake model to reduce the network’s computational difficulty while mitigating and solving scalability.

Speaking to Bitcoin Magazine, Qtum Foundation CIO Miguel Palencia said, “Qtum’s launch in the AWS marketplace provides an easy-to-use and powerful cloud-based solution for end users and the Enterprise. Anyone who wants to develop/build DApps on the Qtum platform or use it as a staking node will benefit from this.”

Usage
One of the benefits of using the new Qtum AMI on AWS is the ease of getting started on the blockchain without the “hassle of handling dependencies.” The platform makes it possible for anyone to run a Qtum node or use Qtum pre-installed to launch a server on its mainnet or testnet.

According to Palencia, this is what makes the Qtum technology attractive to both small and large businesses. Companies can launch the servers without “having to spend a large amount of resources on infrastructure.” The Qtum AMI is also free for AWS customers to deploy a Qtum instance (server). Users can deploy a test network on the instance to simulate a public blockchain without paying a fee.

Features
Among some of the features of the Qtum AMI is a Qmix development IDE — the development libraries and tools created for the desktop QT wallet — which launches by default. Users will also get the Qtum and Solidity compiler needed for building and executing smart contracts.

Amazon Web Services has been quite active in the blockchain space since it opened its arms to blockchain startups in 2016. Earlier this year, ConsenSys partnered with AWS to launch Kaleido, a service similar to Qtum’s, which simplifies the adoption and implementation of blockchain technology.

The difference between Qtum’s offering and Kaleido, according to Palencia, is that Qtum is not strictly for enterprise, “but for end users, as well as anyone wanting to create and build something on the Qtum blockchain.”

cool

i think crypto will be hard in the next 2 years!

I have question. Will qtumX just be infrastructure?
That is, a company pays in qtum to make their official coins in qtumX; and transaction fees in qtumX are paid in printed coins. Or will there be also qtumX coins?

This document seems to hint at a new token, QTX:

https://docs.qtum.site/en/One-Click-Launch-Chain/#build-private-chain

I e-mailed Qtum; they replied:

"Anyone can use the QtumX platform to create a new blockchain, which has a build-in new token on the chain. Later, we will provide tools for exchanging new tokens with Qtum mainnet."

So, looks like separate token on QtumX.

I like the two logos with the text, but the new one... Maybe put it up on the wall and give it a couple of days before you implement it.

qtum is 6$ now .what down? qtum is more then other coins is down

[rafradio]

visited QTUM meetup in Moscow and was a little bit disapointed . poor presentation from head office community manager , poor material from the dev.
thinks there is no need in such kind of meetups. but i stayed to think of a great QTUM opportunities because of great thechnology. know that core devs  concentrated exactly on the technology side of QTUM blockchain. but if they would like to achieve stable developing they need to bring living product examples  build on QTUM blockchain. not only count on the hackathon winners. dont belive much in such kind of dapp developing. there are more enthusiastic than business model solutions

QTUM need DEX as BTS DEX
QTUM need remittens solutions as ZEPH Bitspark on Bitshares blockchain
QTUM need custome-end dapp as EDGELESS casino on Etherium . just try it https://casino.edgeless.io/games?go=communityru

The idea of the project is to combine both bitcoin and ethereum. Where the majority of the community is on the topic of which crypto is better this concept could really be a big hit and the team has executed the project well. I think all the aspects of the project are great, it doesn't seem to be a scam and I would consider investing in it.

I totally agree with you, it's really a very good idea!
what do you think is now a good time to enter this coin? Everything is dropping pretty low at this point.
