Qtum working on an updated roadmap which will answer that question, to be linked here when it is published (date TBD). Confidential assets currently in research phase, such as https://eprint.iacr.org/2019/1435

when qtum release the Confidential assets feature?

Great updates guys! Really loving the new color themes for the wallet. The Dark one is my go-to theme for anything that I use (apps, browsers, wallets) and then you added the Dark-blue theme which is super dope (well, that's for my taste  ). I'm currently rocking it right now with my wallet and it's just beautiful for my eyes. 

The new Staking Button is a much needed feature for any wallet out there. Period.

The 0.18.2 update for the Qtum-Qt Core Wallet provided a new look for the user interface and some new functionality, especially for staking wallets.

TL;DR the Qtum-Qt GUI wallet has two new color themes available, and a Stake page with a Staking button that is necessary for staking wallets to click to the right to activate staking.

We have published a full disclosure of a DoS vulnerability we found in Qtum earlier this year, which has now been fixed in Qtum for quite some time.

Week of December 23 https://medium.com/@Qtum/qtum-galaxy-update-2dcfd2577f2b

Going into the weekend there is one more week of Qtum Galaxy — Full Nodes incentive Program, with a little over 100 Lucky Star awards to be given out, 40 Stellar Awards (20 each on December 27 and January 3), 50 rewards in the Twitter Lucky Draw, and the Planet Awards and Satellite Awards remain to be claimed after the Program ends on January 5th.

There is still plenty of time to join and refer your friends. And still, plenty of time to learn how to run a Qtum node and compete for some tasty awards! Get more information and sign up at: https://galaxy.qtum.org/

Virtual Private Servers in the Cloud

It is easy to follow the directions at https://galaxy.qtum.org/ (see the tutorial link in Step 5 for Windows, Mac, and Linux) for a desktop personal computer. You can also run nodes for Qtum Galaxy as a VPS (Virtual Private Server) in cloud data centers. This is an approach taken by some more experienced community members for Qtum Galaxy and is an easy way to add more nodes. Qtum Galaxy is all about adding Qtum nodes, the more the merrier, with more prize opportunities. To add a node on a PC or even Raspberry Pi takes setting up another computer, but setting up a VPS in the cloud only takes a few clicks, and once you understand how, it is easy to add a few more.

This is operated by a stable coin company QuickCash from Singapore. Stable coins are backed by people depositing fiat currency. QuickCash has stable coins on Qtum and Ethereum.

https://quickcash.com/qc
https://quickcash.com/aboutUs

So is this the first stable coin plegged to Chinese Yuan? Is this coin backed by some big companies or justby Qtum foundation?
As far as I know China is going to issue own crypto Yuan...

The Chinese Yuan. 1 CNY = 0.143 USD.

Is this stablecoin created on Qtum blockchain? To what currency this stablecoins is plegged? Why is the price so strange: $0,14 instead of 1$ ? Is this some other fiat currency plegged?

https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/qcash/

maybe this one.. a stablecoin..

We are about halfway through the Qtum Galaxy Full Nodes Incentive Program, but the glass is way more than half full, with over 400 awards left to give out. Last Friday saw the first batch of the weekly Stellar Awards, Lucky Star Awards (~12 a day) are a little over halfway through, and all the Planet Awards and Satellite Awards remain to be claimed after the program ends on January 5th.
