About QBitcoin

The story behind the quantum-resistant blockchain revolution

Our Vision

QBitcoin was born from a vision to create a truly future-proof cryptocurrency that can withstand the emerging threats of quantum computing while maintaining the core principles of decentralization, security, and accessibility.

Quantum Resistance

Building a blockchain that remains secure even against quantum computer attacks using post-quantum cryptography.

Global Accessibility

Creating a financial system that is accessible to everyone, regardless of geographical location or economic status.

Decentralized Future

Promoting a truly decentralized network where no single entity controls the system, ensuring trust and transparency.

QBitcoin Vision

How QBitcoin Works

Understanding the technology behind our quantum-resistant blockchain

XMSS Signatures

QBitcoin uses the eXtended Merkle Signature Scheme (XMSS) to create quantum-resistant digital signatures.

Unlike traditional ECDSA signatures used in most cryptocurrencies, XMSS is resistant to attacks from quantum computers using Shor's algorithm.

Blockchain Structure

Our blockchain uses a modified Proof-of-Work consensus with quantum-resistant hash functions.

The QBitcoin blockchain maintains a 2-minute block time with dynamic difficulty adjustment to ensure consistent transaction processing.

Network Architecture

QBitcoin operates on a decentralized peer-to-peer network with specialized node types.

The network includes primary nodes (full validators), light nodes (for mobile wallets), and archive nodes (maintaining the complete blockchain history).

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about QBitcoin

QBitcoin uses the eXtended Merkle Signature Scheme (XMSS), a post-quantum cryptographic algorithm that is resistant to attacks from quantum computers. Unlike traditional ECDSA signatures used in most cryptocurrencies, XMSS is not vulnerable to Shor's algorithm, which can break elliptic curve cryptography using quantum computers.

QBitcoin was founded in 2023 by Syed Hamza Shah in Islamabad, Pakistan. The project began as a research initiative to explore quantum-resistant cryptography for blockchain applications before evolving into a full cryptocurrency project.

While QBitcoin shares some fundamental principles with Bitcoin, it differs in several key ways: QBitcoin uses quantum-resistant signatures (XMSS) instead of ECDSA, has a faster block time (2 minutes vs. 10 minutes), features a different supply schedule (30 million total vs. 21 million), and includes additional privacy features not present in Bitcoin.

There are many ways to contribute to QBitcoin: join our development team if you have technical skills, participate in community discussions to help shape the project's direction, run a node to strengthen the network, or simply spread awareness about quantum-resistant blockchain technology.

Yes, QBitcoin is fully open source. All code is available on our GitHub repository under the MIT license. We believe in transparency and collaborative development, allowing anyone to review, audit, and contribute to the codebase.

Our roadmap includes continuous improvements to the core protocol, development of additional layer-2 solutions for scalability, integration with decentralized finance applications, and ongoing research into advanced quantum-resistant cryptographic techniques.
