https://twitter.com/Extremcrypto/status/823194643193966592Happy New Year!
Once our initial Quantum prototype has passed internal and external testing procedures, it will be time to launch the Quantum testnet code named "Sparknet". which will be the final real world test before the official release.
Happy new year ! From Qtum Foundation"
Almost two months later,
NO TESTNET, yet Investardums SUPPOSEDLY purchased all the Qtum's tokens on Chinese exchanges in spite of overwhelming evidence depicting Qtum having a scant presence in the Chinese marketplace. Totally motherfuckin unreal!
I find it astonishing over the years these individuals and groups tell about the fabulous technologies they want to deploy.
Yet they can't make a testnet or emulation of the coin/project before and see if it is something that would work overtime.
They first need our money conveniently to do it! Not the backers behind them worth millions.The Qtum reminds me of the recent BitLand project in this observation -
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-bitland-ico-decentralized-land-registry-1434155They were asked why not try to simulate/test or do a smaller project with a smaller state. You know, before trying to deploy the blockchain/node across Africa.
Bitland even had Ronny and others backing it!
Qtum has several million to try and testnet even before deployment and the talent supposedly to do it.
Yet they still need an ICO.
As I've pointed out here -
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.18089204 (revisited verbatim below the horizontal line) - prior to obtaining Angel Backers, Team Qtum already had hundreds of thousands of dollars in their coffer, liquidated most of said amount, received a million dollars more from Angels, then used that money to spread lies about their endeavor up to and including during its ICO in amassing tens of millions of dollars more sourced from where, currently held also where? Does PwC own the Chinese exchanges where the Qtum token's reside till who-knows-when?

^^^ On November 28, 2016, Qtum had exactly 830
BTC in their coffer equating to ~$610,880 at the then current exchange rate.

^^^ On January 1, 2017, Qtum transferred to Star Xu's OKCoin exactly 500
BTC equating to ~$491,465 at the then current exchange rate as depicted below:

10 days later on January 11, 2017, Qtum secures seed funding of $1M from 4 investors, one of which is Star Xu of OKCoin:

On the very same day (1-11-17), Pete Rizzo of CoinDesk published the announcement, of which includes the following:
http://www.coindesk.com/blockchain-angels-invest-1-million-bitcoin-ethereum-hybrid-qtum/Patrick Dai, founder of the Qtum Foundation, indicated that the $1m will now help his team to prepare the infrastructure necessary to sell the tokens in a public initial coin offering (ICO), or a public sale of unique cryptographic tokens to investors.
Dai told CoinDesk:
"We raised the money to prove that our approach is right. We used the money to do the minimum viable product. The testnet is live now, but it is private, it is already working."
Dai said that the Qtum Foundation could seek to raise up to $10m in the token offering.
Don't you find it odd that in 9 days back in November 2016, Qtum was able to amass over $600K worth of bitcoins from who-knows-where, then a month later covert 500
BTC to cash via OKCoin, to only 10 days later receiving a million dollars in Angle seed funding from the very dude, among others, Qtum just handed over $491K+ to?
Or am I mistaken, the 1qtum1H39JbLjkBZGg4HVsrt9KD6FMS3g BWA belongs to Qtum's twin brother, Qtime?
"Bruno thinks that we shovel up the elephant shit in our office, when in fact we just let it pile up, pretending it doesn't exist. To have more room, we simply used some the million dollars donated to us by Angel investors to knock out a few walls so to extend our office in accommodating more elephants and piles of shit."
