One of Qtum’s growth strategies is the mobile telecommunications market.  There is a vast amount of consumers that may not be aware of digital currencies, but could be introduced to Qtum by means of a viral marketing campaign.  This does not mean that the average user isn’t accustomed to paying with their mobile devices.  In China, Wechat leverages their userbase of over half a billion people, to make payments for everyday goods and services.  Just like Apple Pay, they make a quick scan with their device at the point of sale, and the money is deducted from their account.  We plan to build Quantum applications that integrate into the popular messaging platforms like: Wechat, WhatsApp, Viber, and so forth.  We call this the Qtum “Go Mobile” strategy.  


Though mobile market has big space to be filled up that does not mean you overlook existing marketspace.   There must be some brainstorming behind focusing on the mobile market, which we are not aware of.  There are lot of users who don't want their mobiles to be part of coin payments. Who would buy digital currencies and store them safe with paper wallet or hardware wallet. Hope you could think this part as well.

Best of luck for your project.
