hi everyone....
considering to invest in QRL - i think if quantum computers are one day real and usual in our life - it has a great potential. Expecting this can happen in middle-term future aproximately 7-15 years from now...
But i have one question -- after testnet finished - will have QRL own blockchain or will run on blockchian of other plattform
if it will run on own blockchain - will QRL offer smart contracts
... if it will have own blockchain and will offer smart contracts than the potential of this coin will be enormous because after quantum computers are here it will cause huge panic in all coins and tokens....
Yes QRL will be on its
own blockchain.
Right now QRL offers colored tokens:

What does it mean Colored tokens??
I've never found "colored coins/tokens" to be self-descriptive either. The ELI5 of colored tokens is probably best summarized in the "Use Cases" section of the Bitcoin Wiki article:
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Colored_Coins#Use_Cases (except replace Bitcoin with QRL).
Issuing sharesA company can issue shares using colored coins, taking advantage of the Bitcoin infrastructure for activities such as
Trading
Voting
Paying dividends
Smart propertySuppose there is a car rental company. The company can release one colored coin to represent each car, and then configure the car to turn on only if it receives a message signed with the private key that currently owns the colored coin. It can then release a smartphone app that anyone can use to broadcast a message signed with their private key, and put up the colored coins on a trading platform. Anyone will be able to then purchase a colored coin, use the car for whatever period of time using the smartphone app as a "car key", and sell the coin again at their leisure.
CouponA company may wish to issue coupons, such as Air Miles rewards points
Community Money
A community. e.g. a town, can issue it's own Currency.
Digital collectiblesDecentralized management of digital assets. Just like art collectors buy and sell original copies of famous paintings for millions of dollars today, colored coins allow us to do the same with purely digital objects, such as songs, movies, e-books and software, as well, by storing the current ownership of the work as a colored coin on the blockchain.
Access and SubscriptionUsing colored coins to trade and manage access and subscription services. For example, a museum, a subway or an online service like Netflix may issue passes as colored coins and release a smartphone app that can be used to make a signature proving ownership of a pass in person, allowing these passes to be simultaneously transferable, fully digital and securely uncopyable.
