Non web3 post of the weekend: Nene Royal sings Let the bodies hit the floor (Drowning pool). 🎸 youtube.com/watch?v=i_dUTE3C…

5 takeaways of the @quipnetwork AMA (Oct 29, 2026): - Points campaigns (Quest & Mindshare) are ending around Oct 30, with this week's distribution expected Monday. Possible Discord multipliers for active members were mentioned (not confirmed). Separate $QUIP allocations protect earlier points. - Unified app is coming soon — it will combine Accounts, QuipSwap, points, QVRF, compute subnets, and QVM in one place. - External chain audit is the last major step before mainnet. TGE comes after mainnet. No fixed dates; findings will be published. - QVM (the main focus) is live on testnet: write once in a constraint language and run on D-Wave annealers, classical hardware, or upcoming gate-based systems (IonQ). Costs are quoted upfront (based on qubits, time, and entanglement), with multi-layer verification. Free compute credits are available for testing. - Overall, all core components are live on testnet and the project is in its final stretch toward mainnet. The team (including @cadillion and @rcarback) answered questions on QVM mechanics and the broader roadmap.

Another non-web3 post of the weekend: Psychosocial (Slipknot) cover by Nene Royal / Ozone Band. She's so badass! 🎸 @neneroyalmusic @slipknot Vdo via @NENEROYALFC youtube.com/watch?v=WHD3qDh1…

It's not weekend when I usually post a non-web3 stuff, but I'm so happy receiving these cards purchased straight from Japan, that I gotta share no matter what. Low-mid tier Gengar PSA 10 x 3. 🎉🥳

Quantum hack: It takes ~52 days to expose one key - according to @cadillion Solution for crypto holders: Simple. Use @quipnetwork. Quip Network's post-quantum accounts, QuipSwap, and quantum compute marketplace so your assets stay protected on current chains without waiting for protocol upgrades. Create your quantum-ready account and join the $QUIP airdrop campaign - link in the comment. 🦋

Arguably better than NFT... Nene Royal hand-signed shirt 🤘🎸 @neneroyalmusic

🦋 Quantum headliner of the day: The Quip Virtual Machine (QVM) Launch by @quipnetwork 🦋 What it is: QVM is now live on the Aglais testnet. It lets developers write one program in a constraint-based language and run it on quantum annealers (D-Wave supported now; IonQ coming), gate-based quantum computers, or classical hardware. That's achieved without rewriting for each architecture or thinking in low-level gates/qubits.⁠ 🦋 Key features: - Predictable pricing: Gas model based on qubit space, execution time, and entanglement. Maximum cost is known before a job runs (baseline + optional tip). At mainnet this will be paid in $QUIP tokens.⁠ - Verification: Every result is checked via classical simulation, independent classical benchmarking, and cryptographic attestation tying it to the hardware.⁠ - Earning model: Developers can publish programs publicly and get paid each time they run.⁠ Note: Free compute credits available for new testnet users. 🦋 Demo results: At QuantumTech World, a live portfolio-optimization head-to-head (1,930 races) showed the quantum solver matching or beating the classical solver in every case. When results differed by >0.5%, quantum was better by a median of 2.56% (both typically finished in 0.1-0.3 s). 🦋 Context: QVM sits on top of Quip Network (a decentralized quantum/classical compute marketplace). It aims to solve the industry’s fragmented tooling, non-portable code, and unpredictable pricing problems. Early testers include researchers at Monash, Notre Dame, and Purdue, plus industrial users like SiC Systems.⁠Quip 🦋 Bottom line: one programming layer + upfront gas pricing + multi-layer verification, making quantum (and hybrid) compute more accessible and commercially practical.
