A fork claimed at block 501,368 on 28 December 2017 with a 210,000-coin premine and a long feature list; this wiki found no source code.

◆ Takeover vieweditorial · opinion, labelled

The wiki's angle: despite the name, nothing in Quantum Bitcoin's archived site describes quantum-resistant cryptography — compare Bitcoin Post-Quantum, which actually changed the signature scheme.[1][2]

Claims

The archived project site says “On December 28, 2017, QBTC split from block height 501368 of BTC main network successfully” with coins dropped “according to the 1:1 ratio”[1]. It gives a total of 21.21 million QBTC, “of which 210,000 are pre-excavated for nodes”[1].

Features and founder

The site lists lightning network support, “8M large block”, zero knowledge proof and smart contracts, but no quantum-resistant signatures[1]. It names Zhang Jianguo as founder[1]. This wiki found no published source code; the claims are the project's own[1].
