To answer a few questions:
* Why Quantum? Why not? It just liked the word.
* What's new with QTC? First the block value is addicted to the difficulty. Higher difficulty results in higher block value. Second the target timespan and the retarget interval is addicted to the overall network hashrate.
* Why no Windows binaries? I think a source release is sufficient. You can build windows binaries with the included Makefiles. Just install the MinGW Toolchain (including UPnP). I have to do that for every alternative coin because they usually don't ship Linux binaries.
* Why are there premined blocks? Just to have a higher starting difficulty without mining a genesis block with a high difficulty. Sure, it's not the number of the blocks determining the difficulty, but the difficulty just adapts slowly over time.
You could have put a 0 (or ~0) reward until block 1000 or so Otherwise I like this coin

No windows is just dumb. 90% of users ( like me ) don't have the skills to compile.

most likely a few with a lot of fire power. I would be fun to look but i cant figure out how to compile on windows so this is garbage to me lol...wont be worth shit to anyone cept maybe a few sense no one else can mine. Of course, aint as bad as another coin today.... that one you dont even get connections.

Why won't people learn that if you don't post binaries, your coin will be shit and go nowhere?

I don't understand the problem with the windows binaries, because I always compile the sources after having a look inside the code. Why can't any of the Windows users simply compile and upload the binaries? Unfortunately I'm not familiar with Windows and I don't have any testing systems for Windows. Will have a look at the MinGW tool chain.

Most of us can, but what's the point? If the noobs can't mine it, we have noone to sell it to

Because, it takes some time to install mingw, takes a lot of drive space. Usually have troubles getting various releases to compile. its just a bit pain in the A**. That being said the same reasons you didnt feel the need to include the binary release it was just too big of pain in the A** for you too. Thats pretty telling dude, if you dont care enough to include a windows binary for 80% of the users out here, Most of which know NOTHING of how mingw or how to use make. It tells us all that you have very little interest in making this coin go very far.

I need solid evidence of your coin's improvements over others to justify giving it some hash.

You could have put a 0 (or ~0) reward until block 1000 or so Otherwise I like this coin It's not necessary to pre-mine to have a higher starting difficulty. We have access to the code, we can do virtually anything.

Sure but OP made a crazy system where everything moves so I guess he wanted to see how that would really behave Also, it looks like he wanted to put a high difficulty without a high difficulty for the genesis block

That's it. First I wanted to see if everything behaves like expected and second I don't wanted a high difficulty for the genesis block. Searching a genesis block with lower difficulty is much more fun. Really, I don't understand the problem. The first blocks were mined at the lowest block value only to increase the difficulty. The block value will soon increase. When you set the starting difficulty too low everyone cries "the orphans, the orphans". But if you announce the block chain with a higher difficulty it is also not good.

And sorry about the Windows binaries. But I think that's a problem of the community. I'm not a Windows user, I don't have testing systems. If there are really 90% users using Windows there should be enough users able to compile the sources on Windows (without an high effort). I think it's the fairest way to release only the sources.
Anyway, it doesn't matter in this case. The block chain was announced with a reasonable high difficulty and the block value increases with the difficulty. Also the target time span decreases with higher network hash rate and the retarget interval decreases with higher network hash rate. So there is no disadvantage when you mine this coin days, weeks or months after the announcement.

This is a list of the block values until difficulty 20. The formula is rather simple: nSubsidy = ((0.2 * exp(nDifficulty / 250) / pow(nDifficulty, -0.25)) * 50), but working. The minimum block value is 10, the maximum block value is 50 (will be reached with difficulty 110).
0.000000 = 0.000000 1.000000 = 10.040080 2.000000 = 11.987589 3.000000 = 13.319620 4.000000 = 14.370230 5.000000 = 15.255568 6.000000 = 16.031010 7.000000 = 16.727643 8.000000 = 17.364805 9.000000 = 17.955406 10.000000 = 18.508524 11.000000 = 19.030804 12.000000 = 19.527266 13.000000 = 20.001803 14.000000 = 20.457497 15.000000 = 20.896834 16.000000 = 21.321848 17.000000 = 21.734230 18.000000 = 22.135398 19.000000 = 22.526555 20.000000 = 22.908732
