When I first saw a post about Initiative Q on Facebook, I was both very mistrustful and curious. It sounded like the x-th iteration of some cryptocurrency referral system. On the other hand, I knew the guy referring it from old times at the university's computing centre.
So I thought, maybe, but really only maybe, this is not a scheme to screw people up.
I gave it a go and, lo and behold, they really only try to make the project known. And perhaps hype it a bit along the way.
They merely wanted my name and a mail adress. How's that, in a world of Airdrops, where you have to work through compendia worth of tasks, crisscrossing along multitudes of different media?
I tell you: Resfreshingly free of hassles.
It could potentially take a long time for the Q to become useful and valuable, if at all. But there's really not much to lose by signing up.
Use a throwaway mail if you fear spam.
Wait and see. And if it's not succesful: Forget.
Anyhow, here's the invitation text they provide, with some more info in it. I'd be happy to accept your application, if you want to join!
Official Invitation of Initiative Q:
Initiative Q is an attempt by ex-PayPal guys to create a new payment system instead of credit 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.

This link will stop working once I’m out of invites. Let me know after you registered, because I need to verify you on my end.
