What's with this project? Still can't find it in major exchanges? I know that Qtum ICO was successful that it only took a matter of days to finish the crowdfunding and exceeded the expectation.

Hes really a big help for busting out scam projects accurately.   

Which scam? Here's what I found he appeared to accurately spot from a cursory scan: Cryptsy, everything concerning that Leroy guy, GAW/Butterfly Labs, maybe 5-10 other tiny ICOs I'd never heard of and never seemed to gain much steam

Things he spewed vitrol about but is still undetermined: Legends Room (although he's calmed down on them now that they seem close to potentially proving they aren't a scam), Bitland

And things he predicted wrong: Bitgold/Goldmoney (he attacked them similar to us, and they're still kicking and seem legit 2 years after all of his trolling), AMT(oh wait, he apologized for that one after a few months of trolling)

I personally wonder where he was when I was still in the scam spotting business. I don't recall ever seeing or hearing about him or his primary alter-ego (though I don't keep track of his 20+ sock puppet accounts). He has actually "spotted scams" very few times, because he mostly sticks to only a few different projects (Leroy was his favorite) and off-topic posts. Seems all he does is try to dox whoever he somehow finds out about (seriously Gleb, who tells you about these projects? Why only these projects and not the many other obvious scams on BCT that you've failed to warn the community about?), cherry pick anything he can find on the internet supporting his case, makes ridiculous assumptions, then posts it all in his humorous ranting style with lots of memes, and finally alerts his friends/sock puppets that he posted so that they can back him up and legitimize his assumptions. I guess the upside to his trolling here is at least he's been fairly clean in this thread and not talking about raping people like in his Leroy and (pre-apology) AMT threads.



First off, I think you forgot about my Phinneaus Gage account busting scammers. Secondly, theymos has my permission to delete all 76 accounts of mine on this forum if he finds evidence of me ever alerting a user so to post after I post. The ONLY two/three exceptions that I can think of over the years is that I have (2/3 times) PM a user(s) to make him aware of a recent post of mine, but they were already active in the respective scam threads.

earlz, your post above is virtually identical to what previous scammers have penned about my scammy ass, all of which are no longer part of this space (hopefully).

In re The Legends Room, I attended a Vegas meetup over the weekend, and all of the ~30 attendees know damn well to stay away from that outfit, with voices larger than mine leading the pack in the convos, I mostly sharing my findings, thus the discontent didn't stem from me.

The Legends Room thread is deleting ALL posts proving that it's a scam.

Please inform your base that you're not sticking up for Leroy Fodor, else that would truly be Qtum's demise. The raping you've alluded to stemmed from a lie that Leroy Fodor posted, all documented.

Surely you don't think that Marshall Long is a good guy, do you? I nailed his cupped balls to a tree long time ago. NOT A SINGLE person I've met in person has anything good to say about Marshall, not even Brock Pierce.

Did you forget about Black Arrow? Read all my posts in that thread proving beyond a shadow of doubt that they were a scam. Several others concurred in the same thread. FUCK ME! I just remembered that ALL them posts were deleted by Black Arrow.

Here's your contribution to the Cryptsy scam: http://earlz.net/view/2016/01/16/0717/analyzing-the-56-million-exploit-and-cryptsys-security

Well, good to know Gleb is an expert in China and all modern Chinese culture and social media practices. Remind me again, how many weeks have you spent in China to get all this knowledge?

Anyway, for those not in the know (including myself to some extent), WeChat is pretty unbelievably big. WeChat accounts for 30% of all mobile internet time spent in China, and Chinese people spend on average 90 minutes per day on WeChat. It has ~800M daily users (most of which are Chinese)... For a western comparison, Facebook has 1.2B monthly users (couldn't find a good daily number).
Everyone here talks about how Facebook wants to become the portal to the internet, but WeChat has already successfully done that in China. WeChat has mini-apps and such, as well as handling money etc. If you have a phone with only WeChat installed in China, you're prepared for about 95% of what life throws at you. Most people in China don't bother with laptops, it's all about phones and mobile access. I've tried learning some Chinese (both speaking and typing), and it blew my mind how easy Chinese is to type out on a phone. To me the Android and iOS Chinese keyboards are a lot easier than a traditional PC keyboard (with Window's built in pinyin thing). Anyway, all this to say that trying to understand the culture from outside without having seen how people there interact and without having learned any of the language is difficult. I know when I visited there for the first time it was an absolute culture shock, even with all the reading and such I did beforehand.

Our plans to integrate smart contracts with WeChat is also driven by how large it is, and we think this will ultimately propel us into mainstream usage in China, allowing app developers to integrate blockchain technology into the readily accessible WeChat mini-app market

Okay, I concede that you got me on that one, for I haven't spend one nanosecond in China like you have to amass such knowledge on WeChat in comparison to Facebook. I, sadly, have to admit that I, as old man sans a job living in a van with four flat tires down by the Colorado River, has to resort to Wikipedia to perhaps come as close to you in knowledge of said subjects, earlz.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WeChat

Quote
WeChat had over 889 million Monthly Active Users in 2016 90% of whom were Chinese. For comparison, Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp (two other competitive international messaging services better-known in the West) had about 1,000 million Monthly Active Users in 2016 but did not offer most of the other services available on WeChat. In 2017 it was reported that more than half of WeChat's users spend over 90 minutes a day on the app.

That's odd! Wikipedia didn't depicted a good daily number either, else I'm sure you would've gleaned that as well, also adjusting that number somewhat so to further cloak your newfound knowledge, alluding to your experience of residing in China for a spell.

See how easy it is read through you lyin' pieces of shit? It took me longer to pen this post so to inform the readers than it did to uncover your bullshit.

Please try harder next time, for you're makin' my non-job too fuckin easy.

Gleb is a big influence to this forum. And as what I observe that all his accusations were getting real while it seems unbelievable at first but now hes in quantum for busting and now people should be warned and be thankful in the end. Hes really a big help for busting out scam projects accurately.

I haven't decided whether Gleb is a very sophisticated troll, or if he is a suspicious person by nature who is prone to cynical beliefs. In any case, I'd take what he says with a grain of salt. As you can tell, he needs to straighten himself out.

Gleb says, "Think about it while this broke-ass old man without a job goes outside to air up the tires on his stolen van via a loaned air pump down by the Colorado River below two dams that one day may or may not burst."

PSA: We give development updates every week on our own forum (as well as in our Slack and on our mailing list). The forum for development updates is here: https://forum.qtum.org/category/38/qtum-weekly-updates



We also have a Chinese forum available at: https://forum.qtum.org/category/11/%E4%B8%AD%E6%96%87%E4%BA%A4%E6%B5%81%E5%8C%BA (because the development updates are very technical, and occur every week, they are not typically translated, though our community updates and other big picture type stuff is)

Great, now allow me to sample that site ...

https://forum.qtum.org/category/20/qtum%E6%B5%8B%E8%AF%95%E7%BD%91%E7%BB%9C


https://forum.qtum.org/category/46/qtum-%E5%BC%80%E5%8F%91%E8%80%85


Question: How is it humanly possible for Qtum to claim that most of its investors came from China when on their very Chinese forum its a virtual ghost town where there's few views of, and even fewer posts on threads, some penned months ago?

Are we lead to believe that most all of Qtum's convos take place on WeChat?


"Dude, check it out! I just got an alert from WooWooChat. Looks like Qtum is gonna be the next greatest thing since sliced bread. It's not build yet, but they promised to have it build by September with some guy named Steve or Patrick leading the pack. The crack team is gonna marry Bitcoin with Ethereum. I'm so in! I'm buying ten thousand dollars worth. How 'bout you? Oh, look! That old man, Bruno, who doesn't have a job thinks it's a scam. Now I'm gonna buy thirty thousand dollars worth of Qtum. I'm gonna be rich!"

Okay, let's see if I've got this one straight. Qtum has a forum designed to update its investors, most of which are in China, but the forum is in ... wait for it ... English, WITHOUT an option to view it in Chinese.

When will Qtum be launched as a token?  (NOT Pre-Launch)

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.

THIS IS WONDERFUL, but allow me ask a crazy-ass question - where did BizHongChou.com get the mailing list of Qtum's ICO purchasers? Think about it while this broke-ass old man without a job goes outside to air up the tires on his stolen van via a loaned air pump down by the Colorado River below two dams that one day may or may not burst.

Well they got my email from when I signed up to buy the ICO tokens from the BiZHongChou website, and asked for my email - and I gave it to them.  That isn't really a conspiracy.  BizHongChou is one of the ICO distributors.

All went down the drain when Bancor ICO got 158 million USD fund. that is from ETH alone. and all the addresses can be viewed from etherscan.io. that`s what they call transparency. you can see who holds the most coins and see if the coin is over inflated.

Nasdaq writes about the Qtum project:

Patrick Dai, Co-Founder and CEO of Qtum sits down with Nasdaq's Brad Smith at the Consensus Summit 2017 to discuss his company's work simplifying the conversion between Bitcoin and Ethereum. He began the conversation by noting that he felt as though "the whole world was embracing the blockchain technology," which encourages him to do more when he returns to China.

BLOCKCHAIN REPORTS: QTUM
BLOCKCHAIN REPORTS: QTUM

By Kevin Feather / Digital Content Strategy

Patrick Dai, Co-Founder and CEO of Qtum sits down with Nasdaq's Brad Smith at the Consensus Summit 2017 to discuss his company's work simplifying the conversion between Bitcoin and Ethereum. He began the conversation by noting that he felt as though "the whole world was embracing the blockchain technology," which encourages him to do more when he returns to China.

How Would You Explain Blockchain to a 5th Grader?

Smith asked Dai the question posed to others at the conference, "How would you explain blockchain to a 5th Grader? Dai responded, "I would tell them that it is the future of the Internet. The future of money, the Internet, and the future of society. Blockchain is a decentralized network that costs less. It can replace the old escrow service from the traditional industry. With it, you can build a virtual escrow service. You can automate all business transactions. I feel this is really powerful. A seemless transfer of any value on the blockchain with low or no fees."

Combining Two of the Biggest Blockchain Systems

Qtum was developed by Dai and the other founders to combine the to biggest systems of the blockchain -- Bitcoin and Ethereum. From the companies website, "Combining a modified Bitcoin Core infrastructure with an intercompatible version of the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), Qtum merges the reliability of Bitcoin's unfailing blockchain with the endless possibilities provided by smart contracts."

Qtum views itself as a "toolkit for building trusted decentralized applications."

Blockchain as the Value-Transfer Protocol for the Next Generation?

Asked what excites him about blockchain, Dai replied, that he's excited to see "blockchain has the potential to become the money-transfer protocol or what we call the value-transfer protocol of the next generation."

Yep, that's exactly how I would explain blockchain to a fifth grader and learnt them how to spell the word 'two'.

very few people really understand what Qtum is doing now.

it always take time for people to understand new approach.

Ethereum is based on account model and also still in POW phase.

Qtum is based on UTXO model and will start from POS directly.

Hi everyone, just wanted to give a quick update with what I've been busy on. Right now I'm preparing for a technical demo video featuring a mobile app directly interacting with a smart contract stored on the blockchain via the SPV protocol. I don't have anything cool to show yet except for some code for my console test app (First time using the NBitcoin library, so it's been a learning experience heh), but I figured some of you out there might be interested and think it was cool.
