I would like to announce that the Quantum Resistant Ledger (QRL) has started its testnet. Come test proof-of-stake and try to break things by pulling down the repository below.
In addition to that, I'd also like to announce that post-quantum secure messaging much like Ethereum's Whisper is underway.
The QRL will be a cryptocurrency ledger which is designed from the outset to be resistant to both classical and quantum computing attack. It uses a different system of cryptography to bitcoin (and all other altcoins) known as hash-based digital signatures, which are quantum-resistant. The ledger will be the first to use quantum-resistant signatures on a blockchain, which provides an ultra secure backup store of value in the event of a sudden advance in quantum computing (rendering bitcoin, ethereum etc vulnerable to attack). The initial aim of the project is to establish a functional and secure blockchain on which more technology can be built such as the Ephemeral post-quantum secure data channels.
Proposed technical details can be found in the white paper on the website at the bottom of the post.
The project has grown significantly, led by myself and multiple devs and a post-quantum cryptographer. We are seeking the right programmer to complement the team with a view to a launch in the coming months. Please contact the email below if you are interested.
Anyone who wishes to get involved can join our Slack channel below. There are all kinds of things to do that we could use many hands to help with.
We do have a bounty system for the repository coming soon. The best way to find out when we release that would be to keep an eye on Twitter, Reddit, or Slack.
The QRL is currently trading as an ERC20 token on bittrex, liqui and tidex.
Genesis = 65M coins. Final distribution in 200 years is 105M (exponential decay in emission). Blocktime is 30-45s. No minimum staking limit. Secure offline staking via deferred stake signatures. Accounts secured by XMSS. Messaging layer will use lattice-based crypto (kyber, Tesla/Dilithium).
Feel free to ask any questions.
Many thanks,
Inca

Hope to see lots of new discussion here!
Please, do us and yourself a big favor and finally optimize this crappy Startpost (
the old one was even worse!), just like every other Pro does it or would do it, with nice Infographics or Graphics at all!
Here go get some:

https://coinmarketcap.com/assets/quantum-resistant-ledgerCmon, don't be silly with that!
Every Possible Investor looks into this thread and your neglecting it and make it look like a noob project.
I can understand, it is a young project, but please go ahead and invest a little bit in looks.
Why do you think apple was such a gamechanger? Look & Feel!
Example 1Example 2Example 6Make it look nice finally! No wonder why the course falls...
You're better then that. Go fix IT!
We live in 2017... GOD!
Else Nice Project!
Probably will rise big, like pivx, from unknown to high!
Good Luck!
