Bad article with a lot of unnecessary fud and shade.  How do you mention QUA having the same name like it's some detriment to Qtum? That's like saying Bitcoin Plus exists so that's a negative towards Bitcoin.  You cannot fault a coin b/c another coin out and used a similar name.

The viability of a platform depends on it's ability to attract big projects.  So far no other platform had as many projects as Qtum launching except Eth.  There were 10x as many projects launching on Qtum as NEO.  Projects such as bohdi, hashrush, Vevue, and possibly even Tron are very polished projects with real teams. 

Your claims about the slack being closed are simply false, i'm in the slack and I see new members joining everyday.
