"A gimmick is a novel device or idea designed primarily to attract attention or increase appeal, often with little intrinsic value."

> A new kind of cryptocurrency based on tokenized quantum signatures to use as payment for service offered on the platform.

> Build contract apps that can scale easily. Launch multiple instances and share tasks between them.

And I still can't think of a single use case. Also there's a spelling mistake in the first sentence of the white paper.

I knew the "no gimmick" phrase will be subjective :-D

> And I still can't think of a single use case

If you and a several persons are in need of a platform to build any kind of cloud-based application but also do not wish to cede control of share resources (source code, keys, passwords, revenue etc) to your partners, then this will be the platform you will pick. Any existing application like a community built Uber/Airbnb alternative and more can be built on this.

I will fix the spelling errors. Thank you.
