Qtum Unveils World’s First Proof-of-Stake Smart Contracts Platform

The Qtum Foundation is pleased to announce the launch of Sparknet, the first public test of its innovative blockchain platform, which combines crucial advantages of Bitcoin, Ethereum’s Virtual Machine and proof-of-stake consensus.

The Qtum (pronounced Quantum) blockchain model was inspired by the rivalry between proponent developers of the world’s most active [Suspicious link removed]munities, said Qtum co-founder Patrick Dai.

“We want to illustrate efficient scalability and compatibility between blockchain technologies,” said Dai. Qtum raised $15.6 million in a crowdsale in March.

The Qtum blockchain operates according to the Unspent Transaction Output (UTXO) model, which ensures consistency in transactions and the traceability of tokens. At the same time, a virtual machine for smart contracts is layered on top of Qtum’s blockchain, which presents to developers a best-of-both-worlds architecture for the construction of decentralized mobile applications and other blockchain-based ventures.

Co-founder Jordan Earls, who leads Qtum’s team of almost two-dozen developers, said the testnet would feature an Ethereum Virtual Machine smart contract implementation along with Qtum’s proof-of-stake protocol.

“I’m ready to get this in the hands of the community and see what everyone’s response to it will be, in particular, what features other developers can come up with,” said Earls.

“The Qtum team continues to execute and build what can be one of the most exciting and innovative railroads in the blockchain ecosystem,” said Matthew Roszak, Qtum Angel investor and co-founder of Bloq.

Six decentralized applications are already being built for the blockchain, Dai said. Among the applications are a peer-to-peer mobile streaming platform and a prediction market.

While these applications are geared to the Chinese market, the Qtum blockchain will appeal to a global audience, accessible to all developers.

“Like many others around the world, I’m eagerly awaiting the launch,” said Roger Ver, a Qtum Angel investor who has been investing in bitcoin startups since the beginning.

To get developers familiar with Qtum, the Foundation is sponsoring a hackathon in Moscow on July 1-2. For more information, visit blockchainhack.ru.

Visit Qtum’s Github page to view the project’s code repository, which will be accessible to the public on the day of the testnet launch.

BTCspace sure the hell seems to be on top of the latest news pertaining to Qtum, that and continues to play a role in burying my posts. Let's see why, mmmkay?

First, a post I penned a while back:

March 16-17th, 2015 - Development Updates

We will keep you posted on the Counterparty downtime once again.

1.) This is a community question.
1.1) Would you like for us to convert existing TilecoinX to our platform?
1.2) How many other Counterparty assets/tokens does everyone have?

2.) We will be traveling to San Francisco for meetings in the next few weeks. We can only publish joint press releases once the paperwork and details are signed. VERY VERY VERY excited!

3.) Backup any TILECOINX via https://counterwallet.io if you do not feel comfortable having TileCoinX in your local wallet until we release the next version with the private key backup view.

4.) How to use Private Key to import BTC funds from external address to Counterwallet address?
https://counterparty.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/5000120686-how-to-use-private-key-to-import-btc-funds-from-external-address-to-counterwallet-address-

5.) Cold storage of Counterparty assets (& BTC) using Armory & Counterwallet

Bter.com still holds a large majority of the TILECOINX (a large % belonging to 'angel investors'): https://www.blockscan.com/address/14e3NAm3oNE2Xqvu9SzndsxvVRj9vbwZ9C. This leaves us with about 20 million XTC in circulation: https://www.blockscan.com/address/16iWzf8NydPZBH7QmPWdF4o5uhQ4ow9RY4. I assume not many people holding a lot of XTC if we look at current distribution (not including Bter.com): https://www.blockscan.com/assetholders?q=TILECOINX (nothing to fear).

Enjoy the San Francisco trip, expecting BIG BIG BIG things here for Tilepay in the next few weeks.

Take it easy.

Will keep support tilecoin for 10 years.

What are the fuckin odds of BTCspace being directly connected to Tilecoin?

Well, one of BTCspace's early tread was ...

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=833300.msg9310408#msg9310408

That thread was created on October 23, 2014, 08:31:30 PM and originally titled "IBM’s Adapt project|BlockNET project|Tilecoin| NEXT BIG COIN???"

Suffice to say that BTCspace was versed at that point about Tilecoin.

But on January 03, 2015, 09:39:58 PM in a thread entitled "[ANN] [XTC] TileCoin| IoT (Internet of Things) bitcoin blockchain - ĐApp", BTCspace penned the following:

Yep, you read correctly: BTCspace just stumbled upon Tilecoin for the very first, wishing that he would've found it earlier, but not to be deterred, he purchased some precious XTC.

The only problem is BTCspace already knew about Tilecoin ~10 weeks earlier as demonstrated with my proof above.

Further ...

can these asians stop posting completely irrelevant news articles? tilecoin is not included in any of them.

It's best time to buy some token...

A lot potential of Tilecoin..

maybe next top5 coin..you will realize this in few months.

Remember This is a Tilecoin thread.

if you want to talk about exchange or other coins.

Please move to other thread.

So, on January 3, 2015, BTCspace stumbles upon Tilecoin for the very SECOND time, jacking off all over himself about Tilecoin (see his post history), then on January 4, 2015, BTCspace positions himself to be the thread's policeman. My guess is that BTCspace has been active in the Tilecoin thread since the get-go under a different nym.

One more thing - look at BTCspace's first posts which he has since deleted: https://web.archive.org/web/20140617191607/https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=336915;sa=showPosts

Not too bad research from an old man living in a van with four flat tires down by the Colorado River, eh?

I'm impressed, and admittedly wrong about writing you off as a troll.

Not too bad given the circumstances Grin
