Qtum had reported the launch date on Twitter on Jan. 31, with a link to a countdown to Feb. 2.

However, Friday, the day of the launch, the countdown was replaced with a link to the China National Space Administration website’s press release on the successful launch of the Zhangheng-1 satellite. Qtum and Blockchain were not mentioned in the press release.

Users on the r/Qtum subreddit expressed confusion over the disappearance of the website countdown, asking for more information about the success of the launch. Qtum’s Telegram channel had posted a YouTube video of a satellite launch today, with subtitles overlaid saying it was footage of the “first Qtum POS node in space today.
