> I can't tell if this is serious or not (admittedly without reading the white-paper)

This is a serious thing. Please take a look at the whitepaper. Your feedback will be greatly appreciated.

> A reference to 'tokenized quantum signatures' (what the hell is that?)

We are basing our "cryptocurrency" on some of the ideas from the paper "Quantum Token Signature" (https://arxiv.org/abs/1609.09047) which is suitable for the kind of service we hope to offer. Tokenized quantum signatures allow for tokens to be used to sign messages just once. It requires an authority to keep track of the state of the token.

> New cryptocurrency without the crypto part and without the decentralized part

The idea is to build a platform for multi-signature applications without decentralization. If you take a look at the whitepaper, you may agree that the native currency is some kind of a cryptocurrency :-) .

> Basically its just contracts as a service with some token setup thrown in

Yes, its contract as a service platform and the token isn't just there for no reason. It is meant to fuel an economy of contract applications offering useful services.

> There are so many buzzwords in this, I can't make sense of it.

I am sorry about this. I am also not a fan of buzzwords. Please feel free to ask specific questions and thanks for taking the time to go through it.
