Im not having a pop, no more than you are. just challenging people to think and answer some questions- the biggest question being 'what is better about Q than existing systems?' So far, no answer. If nothing is better, why would anyone want to use it?
Do you consider those 'stupid questions'?
Honestly, please, someone come out with some concrete answers and say how this is going change the world.
Of course it’s not better than a current payment system. It’s a start up. Honestly what are you going on about?Do you consider those 'stupid questions'?

Obviously you have to jump on the band wagon BEFORE it starts moving, jumping on once it’s moving is too late. That’s the whole point!

But if its not better than what we have then why would anyone start using it? Obviously you have to jump on the band wagon BEFORE it starts moving, jumping on once it’s moving is too late. That’s the whole point!
Its not about critical mass, or jumping on the bandwagon; Q as a payment system/currency has to offer some better technology, better security, faster transactions, more user friendly interface, or something for people to think 'I'm going to use Q, rather than paying by cash or card', and at the moment that differentiation or USP doesn't seem to exist.
Bitcoin/crypto currencies do offer advantages over cash and credit cards, but despite headline news, regular public exposure, and 10 years of development and investment, they've struggled to become accepted as a way of spending money.

When it comes to cash out time that would be classed as fraud, not something I tend to dabble in.

ETA: I'm still on the fence about this. I signed up with a bogus e-mailadres so I can see where this is going. But I've yet to see any real world solutions yet. Time will tell...
