Im very excited to take part in your ICO. I hope you all the best. But Im curious on why you decided to go for a proof of stake system instead of proof of work. A premine and using proof of work might be the better direction for you since you are already using the Bitcoin code base. Is it because you want faster confirmation times?
My question in the quoted text hasnt been answered by the QTUM rep or anybody involved in it. I just want to bump it hoping to get an answer.
I also want to add another question. How is QTUM better than Ethereum? I have read a lot of comments here that Ethereum will not work properly as the userbase grows too much for the network to handle. All nodes have to validate all those transactions and in theory might slow down the platform. How does QTUM solve this problem and stay decentralized at the same time?
Your first question is similar to what akado asked on slack yesterday, here you go mate:

Q6: Id also like to know why POS? Given POW seems more secure and China (your biggest market) prefers POW?
We think proof of stake is more user and environment friendly, and is also more suitable for business use cases. All you need to mine Qtum will be a normal computer, which makes everybody equal regardless of their hardware or electricity cost.
In Addition proof of stake tends to be less centralized and more suited to permissioned chains.

It might be a little scary to participate in the ICO because according to the intervew the Chinese exchanges involved can make QTUM tradeable at their own discretion. If the coins are quickly manipulated and then dumped right after the ICO then won't this be another case like what happened to Synereo?
What Chinese exchanges are involved and can people outside of China use those exchanges?

I've forgot about the q&a. damn. Did someone has an archive of all the q&a that happened?
Maybe you can join their twitter instead if you want to be part of qtum.
Where can I get signature, maybe Im blind but cant find it.
Signature campaign is closed for new participants so theres no point in trying to apply. Maybe you can join their twitter instead if you want to be part of qtum.

i over slept for that q&a portion. i want to ask them if they can secure all the users privacy or if they can track transactions of illegal things using their alt.
Earlz has said in the past that because this is based on Bitcoin core, the privacy portion will be very similar. This doesn't mean we're not looking at privacy protocols like Zcash, that's something we'll discuss later.

I feel the same as you, Poloniex will add QTUM trading pair cuz it is very innovative, the team behind qtum is quite big, XU Star may list it to okcoin? Just my speculation.
Xu Star, CEO of https://okcoin.com is an Angel Backer of the Qtum project, but there have been no discussions about adding it to his exchange for the crowd sale.

this must be a great subject!

No you are not blind just you are not searching in the right place 
As qtum is paying inbtc to ssignature participants, the thread is posted in bitcoin Service section. Here is the link to Qtum signature thread https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/qtum-signature-and-avatar-campaign-read-the-op-1747399 February 02, 2017, 07:48:15 PM
Will all the be Chinese or will one of them will alao be western? I understand that crowdsale will also run at Qtum website but still one western exchange like Poloniex or Bittrex would be prefered.
Poloniex would be great, I could remember that Slockit DAO sells was also opened on Poloniex. Qtum team needs to carry western investors along, this was a mistake made by Antshare team and I hope they won't go that route
I really want to see Qtum at Poloniex. Not only for investing my money to a trusted altcoin, but also for trade. It is really hard to find an innovative, promising and original altcoin at the moment. Many altcoins are just a copy of another altcoin and it is no sense to invest some money to these coins. They have no future.
Poloniex adds coins not because they have something innovative. Recently, this coin on which they make quick easy money. But do not worry, Qtum will be on poloniex as one of the most popular projects with huge capitalization and turnover.

Thanks for this update. I didn't join Q&A but now I can read all questions and answers. The project is so exciting.
There's still one month for ICO phase, I should collect more coins to invest this project.

Those are just excerpts from the Q&A session, the full transcript provides all the depth. What we did was just pull most of the responses from the team members on an image for people who don't want to read through everything. It lasted almost two hours, so there's quite a bit of content.

Qtum Update: Feb 2nd, 2017
Our Q&A session with Patrick Dai, Jordan Earlz, and guest Bo Shen took place yesterday. Posted below is a very long list of questions we responded to. Please keep in mind, this list is just responses from the team. There is over 600 people on our Slack currently, and we had quite a few active participants, so for these images we edited out some of the talking. We will provide a full transcript later on our website (https://qtum.org) but if you would like to read it in full, you can join our Slack.

Yeah I really hope the crowdsale is available through Bittrex or maybe poloniex. As long as its done in a transparent way and safe way for buyers. If the project has a lot of hype, it shouldnt be a problem and you wont need to bribe the exchanges
Crowdsale through Bittrex and poloniex will be great but they can also do it through their own Website. Maybe they need to get some funds in Escrows but not a great deal. Its already a trusted project and many are willing to invest even without an escrow.
