Qtum is generated as a hybrid of two main block chains. Nobody knows if it will be a useful combination of technologies or if it sounds just fine. As always, there are big goals and a lot to do in the future. But they have been able to keep promises about their plans so far and followed there roadmap adequately.
Pros
- proof of stake, so no mining blocks. No masternodes as well. Anyone with any amount of coins will be able to run a node, create a new block in the blockchain and get block reward. Chances will be bigger the more coins you hold. Vitalik butterin has been quoted severally about his love for Proof of stake
Cons
- There's been a report about problems with the UTXO model in qtum runs on and there's been a warning that smart contracts based on this model have some serious limitations. It's a good point because the Ethereum platform refused to use the UTXO model. And Qtum decided to return there on their platform
