do we have date for test net release?
By the end of this month we'll release the test network
it will be great news for qtum holder

When will Qtum be launched as a token? (NOT Pre-Launch)
Is it worth investing in it now at the current price?
Is it worth investing in it now at the current price?
The test network will be available this month, and the main network will launch in September.
Many Qtum ICO purchasers recently received an email from BizHongChou.com stating people can now trade Qtum tokens on their website. A follow up email with was sent encouraging users to do just that.
If I want to simply hold tokens until MainNet launch, do you advise simply doing nothing and waiting? Or should I create an account as per the email instructions and just hold the Qtum tokens on the updated trading portion of their site? Or some third option?
I really just want to have the best security possible until MainNet where I can withdraw to my own wallet, and would like to know what Qtum advises.
You do not have to trade tokens, if you purchased them and would like to withdraw them in September when the Main Network launches, simply keep them on Bizhongchou.

Dev Update for week of June 12th:
Changes made through this week to the core wallet:
Bugs fixed:
* [Consensus/PoS] Made sure that a PoS block's coinstake tx was only check if the block contained at least 2 transactions
* [Consensus/EVM] Made EVM gas behavior to work as expected regardless of the Qtum gas price
Work completed:
* [GUI/Qt] Changed blockchain size warning from 122Gb to 1Gb
* [Misc/EVM] Cleaned up the EVM's use of cout and stdout so that all log messages are put in a log file, rather than logged to the console
* [Consensus] Added consensus rule that a block may have a timestamp more than 15 seconds into the network time
* [Consensus/PoS] Changed some PoS support functions to use safer and more effecient data from the block header, rather than relying on block body data
* [Consensus/EVM] Added a consensus rule that a single contract execution can create no more than 1000 vouts.
* [Staker/PoS] Completely reworked the PoS staker so that it looks forward in time for valid stakes, only processes transactions after a stake is found, prepares a block up to 96 seconds before publishing it, and made it aware of time limits for PoS as well as fully aware of the cost of including contract transactions in blocks
* [Misc] Some refactoring and code clean up that does not affect logic
* [Misc] Renamed OP_TXHASH to OP_SPEND, as OP_TXHASH is no longer a represenative name for it's purpose
In-progress work and soon to be fixed bugs:
* [RPC/EVM] The default gas limits in the RPC interface are too small to do anything significant with
* [Staker/PoS] Staking (or PoW mining) on OSX does not properly construct blocks that contain contracts, resulting in rejected blocks. This does not affect Linux

more information on the Consensus algorithm?
what's the biggest difference with normal proof of stake?
The consensus algorithm is pretty much the same as Blackcoin's PoSv3 right now, except for a few minor parameter changes. MPoS (which has been delayed until the 2nd testnet now) changes the reward structure of PoS however so that block rewards are spread out over multiple blocks. The end result of this being that it makes it more expensive to attack Qtum, as you can't just mine blocks with malicious/slow transactions and then get all the fees back, now you must share those fees with other stakers.

Earl,
I also received the guide instructions from bizhongchou via email. But if I want to simply hold my Qtum and not trade it, can I just leave it on the bizhongchou crowdsale dashboard site for now and simply withdraw directly to the wallet software after MainNet launch in September?
Is withdrawing to the main bizhongchou site more secure, or does it not matter?
Thanks.
Yes, same concern here. Especially bizhongchou seems to require Identify proof there, as seen in the guide.

Nice update good to know development is going on smoothly it's worth to support this project. I believe soon it will become next thing all trolls will disappear very soon as devs are doing their job so nice. I will keep hodl my coins once mainnet will get launched than all strong hands will feel so nice.

any of you guys can log into bizhongchou.com? my qtm.bizhongchou.com account dont work. 
I was able to login to my account. The whole UI is in Chinese though. They provided a guide for what buttons to push though: https://qtum.bizhongchou.com/guide.pdf

Is withdrawing to the main bizhongchou site more secure, or does it not matter?
Thanks.

I was also able to login but I had to reset my password since the one from the crowdsale wasn't working on the main site, the steps to do so are not mentioned in the PDF though. I could do it using google translate app on my phone and its OCR realtime translation since chrome translation wasn't working well on this website. Hope this helps.
What did u do? the page just said wrong password and redirect to login page. (i email them, nice to know that it work for you guys and not just me)
You will need to reset your password associated with your email from the crowdfunding site. The forgot password link is located just under the right button under the password field from the login page. If you have a smartphone download google translator and use the camera to translate the page in realtime this really helps figuring out where options are.
Holy Crap!!! you guys are a genius, i never thought of using the smartphone to do it. I am log in now. Thanks
Great, glad I could help!

Why the price in bizhongchou so low? It costs 0.017 ETH per QTUM. WTF? But the price is 11$ in Coinmarketcap.
Coinmarketcap is just a average of the prices between all the exchanges. Since Bizhongchou just enabled ability to sell, alot of ICO investors are going to take profits before the price stabilizes. When it was first released, it was trading around a similar price but went up.
You want to say that the price will go down? It's already stabilized in around 10-12$ in exchanges.

"Agrello is designed to be a cross-organizational network.
