will it work?

Hi all

This is free, so nothing to lose.

Please remember that we live in different time zones, so in worse case it can take up to 12 hours before you get your confirmation.

I have registered but cant by nature not know if it will pay out one day. At least it doesn't cost anything, so everything to gain and nothing to lose.

Initiative Q is an attempt by ex-PayPal guys to create a new payment system instead of payment cards that were designed in the 1950s. The system uses its own currency, the Q, and to get people to start using the system once it's ready they are allocating Qs for free to people that sign up now (the amount drops as more people join - so better to join early). Signing up is free and they only ask for your name and an email address. There's nothing to lose but if this payment system becomes a world leading payment method your Qs can be worth a lot. If you missed getting bitcoin seven years ago, you wouldn't want to miss this. 

I have been investigating a bit and here is the founder behind this initiative https://www.linkedin.com/in/saar-wilf-b8a227/

For those who dont have LinkedIn, a bit of the text below.

Saar Wilf Founder at Initiative Q

I join strong founding teams and together build companies that solve high impact problems. I take the position of Chairman and seed investor, and provide whatever assistance is needed, especially in: algorithms, product, business development, fundraising and strategy.



Some of the companies I seeded or co-founded: Fraud Sciences (acquired by PayPal), ClarityRay (acquired by Yahoo), Supersonic (merged with Iron Source), Crosswise (acquired by Oracle), Redhill Biopharma (NASDAQ: RDHL), Trivnet (acquired by Gemalto), Pointgrab, Deep Optics, CallApp, Moon Active and Creditstacks (all showing impressive progress, and attracted significant investments from leading investors). I also co-founded Wikiwand.com which serves over 4M users monthly. Four other startups were less successful and closed down.



New stuff I'm working on lately: 

1. Initiative Q - Creating a new payment network and global currency

2. Rootclaim.com - Using math and the crowd to analyze complex issues, far surpassing human reasoning.

3. Hardware enabling highly accurate gaze tracking, 

4. A new approach for indoor mosquito control.



Looking for an investment? Sorry, I'm not currently investing, but I'll be glad to connect you to many other angels. Just send me a summary and I'll forward it.
