Regarding the article once we have The android wallet we could easily have merchants accept QBC using the wallet like a Point of Sale program.
Also JP after speaking with many people in crypto I think getting that premine locked up for the airdrops needs to be priority one. In addition I guess some people have issue with homie pouring one out to scrypt miners. I personally like it but the consensus found it not professional.
Just my input and what I've gathered.
Yes, hopefully the Android wallet gets release at the right time. It would definitely be an incentive for merchant adoption if they can use their phone or tablet as a payment terminal, just like Square, but for Quebecoins.
Premine locked? You mean, not giving away coins from the premine?
Im not sure how familiar you are with crypto-currencies. To put it shortly, the pre-mine is the most important attribute of Québecoin (in my opinion). It is what will make Québecoin an extreme success, or another scam coin. Close to 50% of the coin have already been mined, and are out there. That 20 million some coins. After 2 years, Bitcoins value went from a couple cents, to 30$. Lets just assume Québecoin gets only a fraction of that success, the pre-mine could be used to cash-in some interesting amount of money, all while throwing QBCs value right into the dumpster and kiss it goodbye obviously.
Early on the thread (before launch), JPGagnon and some other folks on this forum discussed the possibility to use a bank vault to secure the pre-mined coins. Locking it down in a way that it could not be used for anything else, except for the air-drop, and at the right time. Québecoin is not the first nation-coin, but it is (as far as we know) the first coin to bring up the idea of locking the pre-mined coins. I have this very strong feeling that, if Québecoin was to successfully locked down the pre-mine, the news talking about it would bring a LOT, and I mean a LOT of attention the coin from the crypto-enthusiast. Coins with pre-mine and IPO are mostly taged as scam right now. Reason being the whole hype generated by the pre-mined coin will be distributed to everyone at X location, or with Y condition was used to pump the price very high, before the whales/bag holder dumped them.
We have yet to see a nation-coin truly succeed. Locking the pre-mine would add some kind of guarantees (if it was undeniably locked-down) that investor will not get burned by a developer going lunatic.
C'est de tout beauté...
J'ai eux les larmes au yeux en lisant tout les bonnes nouvelles dans ce post.

Y'a tu un group style google group, un circle, un facebook group, Github , un BLOG,
TWITTER ... - Ya tu quelque part ou les enthousiaste comme vous et moi discute des idées, priorités et etc? Tant pour le Quebecoin que pour la crypto en géneral?
I wont double post so I'll just leave this here. I stumbled on this video last night thought I'd share:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R43OKYmGbhUHa! ha! N'en mets pas trop! Wait to see the results, but I hope our readers will feel the same emotional appeal!

To your question as to know if there is a place where enthusiasts discuss ideas and priorities, I'd answer THIS forum is precisely the place! But it is a fact that we need a place to discuss in French, if we want Quebecers to get involved. What do people here think? Should we refer French speaking enthusiasts to this bitcointalk thread, or create a new French thread? But, I guess, any enthusiasts' initiative is welcome. Just post your created Google or Facebook group, blog or twitter right here, and you'll surely get some followers.

. Ive already suggested that we get a FRA/ENG forum, and an IRC chat dedicated to Québecoin, and I think its coming; JP added forum coming soon to the QBC.io webpage. Theres already the French version of this launch thread here
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=552630.0:, but most of the attention was concentrated on the English one so far.
I think I can successfully lock down the premine within two weeks, I'll be giving my suggestions soon and we'll be able to determine the best course of action. As I've stated before I have absolutely no intention of touching the premine and I love the idea of locking it down.
