To answer a few questions:
* Why Quantum? Why not? It just liked the word.
* What's new with QTC? First the block value is addicted to the difficulty. Higher difficulty results in higher block value. Second the target timespan and the retarget interval is addicted to the overall network hashrate.
* Why no Windows binaries? I think a source release is sufficient. You can build windows binaries with the included Makefiles. Just install the MinGW Toolchain (including UPnP). I have to do that for every alternative coin because they usually don't ship Linux binaries.
* Why are there premined blocks? Just to have a higher starting difficulty without mining a genesis block with a high difficulty. Sure, it's not the number of the blocks determining the difficulty, but the difficulty just adapts slowly over time.
You could have put a 0 (or ~0) reward until block 1000 or so* Why Quantum? Why not? It just liked the word.

Otherwise I like this coin
Good luck dev!

the idea might be a bit nicer than your average copycoin, but releasing out of the blue without windows binaries was not so smart
Trying to gain traction with the "leet" who keeps compilers on their boxen. perhaps in some manner to add validity to the release by source only?
First time i had to do just to "make" on a coin

Why 'quantum' ?
I may or may not mine it.
The first blocks are already calculated to reach an appropriate starting difficulty (appr. 0.4 at the moment) 
?
Difficulty is based on hashing power, not on block count

+1Fail release.
I will only mine this coin if Scott Bakula designed it. I'm going to guess it was Hazard, though.....and I'm pretty sure hes not Scott Bakula.
What is the matter of this coin?
