What is QRL?
The Quantum Resistant Ledger is a public blockchain that is trying to pioneer an area that hasn't been addressed yet in cryptocurrency -- resistance to attacks from quantum computers.
QRL is still a very new cryptocurrency. The initial coin release was done spring of this year and it was released as an ERC20 token. They are still running on test net but after the Genesis block is mined on mainnet this fall they will be exchanging 1:1 for their solo token.
From my understanding, the potential problem is the current transaction security of crytpocurrency. When you send a transaction it creates a digital signature. This signature exposes the public key, and as of the end of 2016, half of the Bitcoin ledger balance was held in addresses with exposed public keys. With our current computers trying to force your way into hacking the blockchain would take years, but the theoretical quantum computers could be exponentially faster and more powerful than what we have now.
The rise of quantum computers could happen in a public light and Bitcoin and other cryptos could adapt and there would be no problem. But not every computer genius is open and share their hacking methods, so QRL is stepping it up before the problem arises.
I'd like to note that, as white papers go, this was the most amazingly difficult one I have every read. I'm pretty sure I had two seizures and half an aneurysm. I'm not a maths guy. I'm barely a computer guy. They made me feel confident for the first few minutes and then the next half hour was tormenting...
Anyway, I always like investing in new projects, especially new projects that are trying to tackle something that nobody else has. The QRL team is very active and has been growing since inception. Check them out if you're looking for another hot ERC20 token to send to your Ethereum wallet!
I will be giving away 50 QRL tokens. Just leave a working QRL address in the comments by Friday, August 25th and a winner will be chosen at random.

This is one that I probably would have skipped over if you had not featured it. Cheers

Second place my man. Randomresult.com really likes you apparently.
No complaints from over here. Thanks for this series as per usual. Have you been following along with any/all of the previous weekly coins? GridCoin just had it's millionth block and it in the process of a large promotional campaign.
Yeah I'm in all of the subreddits and check news from time to time. I hope Gridcoin starts rockin'. It's the only coin so far that hasn't really gained any.

Qrl vs Qtum would be interesting

Now I have to read up on Qtum. I don't know anything about it except it was one of the coins that just popped up in the top of the charts out of nowhere.
Thanks again for your info and doing this, both educational and fun.

Thanks for the article
Bought some QRL now

I think it will be a decent short-mid term coin at least. I'm sure the price will go up a little when they launch their blockchain.

You're good. I don't check the list until I wake up on Saturday morning =)

I kept seeing the currency pop up on my screen. There was a few days last week that it'll see an increase in value by 20% or higher.
Yeah I read they had some internal problems about a month ago. Then a couple weeks ago they brought a couple more people on board to develop. From now to the end of the year is gonna be big for a few different cryptos that are coming out with big releases, QRL is one of them.
Interesting, i never new this kind of currency existed
Just found out about it a few weeks ago myself. Very confusing to try to learn about!
great! can I have some please! Thank you!
