how and when will you allot the 49.45% pre-mine QBC?
you choose x11 and DGW, that's good.
there are many country coins, if you can make a perfect allot which others do not have, QBC will be a perfect coin for sure.

Hey I just answered this question in the french forum so I'll paste it here and translate for you.

Nous allons construire un formulaire sur www.qbc.io pour réclamer sa part de QBC et faire de la promotion pour la première distribution. Nous pensons que le moyen idéal de distribuer le tout sera en passant par la carte d'assurance maladie de la RAMQ. La carte est unique et disponible seulement pour les gens résidant dans la province de Québec. L'avantage avec les autres coins-pays c'est que nous avons 2 ans avant la première distribution officielle, ce qui nous laisse le temps de faire beaucoup de travail pour faire connaître le QBC et faire en sorte que les gens qui n'ont pas encore essayé puissent le faire. Entre temps nous allons pouvoir distribuer des QBC par des promotions radio ou internet par exemple en petit nombre et permettre une croissance naturelle.

Il faut noter que le nombre de coins que nous avons choisi est important. Si chaque personne dans la province de Québec réclamait sa part de QBC - Ils recevraient 0.525 QBC seulement à chaque distribution (5 distributions en 10 ans). Évidemment nous ne nous attendons pas à un aussi haut taux de participation mais si par contre 1/8 de la population (environ 1 million) participe - C'est un montant plus raisonnable de 4.2 QBC par personne. De plus, à chaque distribution le taux de participation risque de monter de manière significative et la valeur pourra grandir en même temps ce qui veut dire qu'une plus petite part répresente un montant relativement similaire.

Auroracoin est un des seuls où la distribution rapide peut faire du sens car ils sont très peu nombreux. Et même là ils ont subi une chute très rapide de la valeur. Regardez le Greececoin (malgré que c'est probablement un scam) (11.28 millions de personne) et le Spaincoin (47.27 millions de personnes). Ils établissent des objectifs irréalistes pour la distribution et leur population est plus nombreuse que la notre. Je doute que 1% de la population connaisse l'existence de leur crypto-monnaie. On parle ici de changer ou proposer une alternative à la monnaie nationale, ce n'est pas quelque chose qui se fait en un mois ou deux, c'est une question d'années et d'adoption graduelle.

We're going to build a page on www.qbc.io where everyone can claim their share of QBC and we'll do a lot of promotion for the first distribution. We think the ideal way of distributing everything will be by using the health insurance card by the RAMQ (the government organization which takes care of health insurance). The card has a unique number and is available only for residents of Québec. The advantage compared to other country-coins is that we have 2 years before the first official distribution, which leaves us a lot of time to put in the work necessary to make sure everyone knows about QBC and that those who haven't tried it yet can get some as well. In the mean time we're gonna distribute smaller amounts of QBC through things like radio or internet promotions and allow a more natural growth.

You have to note that the number of coins we've chosen is important. If every person in Québec (8 million) asked for their part of QBC - they'd receive 0.525 QBC only at each distribution (5 distributions in 10 years). Evidently we won't have such a high participation rate but if we manage to get even only 1/8 of the population (1 million) to participate, it will be a more reasonable amount of 4.2 QBC per person. Additionally, at every subsequent distribution the participation rate will rise in a significant manner and the value of each coin can rise at the same time which means that a smaller number of coins will represent a relatively similar amount.

Auroracoin is one of the the only ones in which a rapid distribution makes sense since they are so few (approx 330 000). And even then they still experienced a rapid drop in value. Look at Greececoin (even though it's most likely a scam) (11.28 million people) and Spaincoin (47.27 million people). They establish unrealistic objectives for their distribution with a population that's a lot larger than us. I doubt that even 1% of people knows about the existence of their cryptocurrency. We're talking here about changing or proposing an alternative to the national currency, that's not something you can do within a month or two, it's a question of years and gradual adoption.

This part I didn't write in the french section but I just remembered, the same shady devs as greececoin are making 'mandarincoin' for China. That's 1.35 BILLION people spread out across an immensely wide and varied country. There's simply no way they are legit and if they were, they're simply crazy for even attempting it. China is clearly against cryptocurrencies right now and the sheer size of the population makes it unfeasible. Québec (and Canada) are very open about bitcoin and technology and Québec has a very united population. It's the perfect place to make something like this happen on a larger scale.

Good God...you actually have the knack of writing French that I can puzzle through. And I'm the kind of Anglo that sees "taux" and thinks "tax".
