This post here shows you how buy it (not useful if you already have it), and the best wallets to store it in - they recommend liqui.io

I personal store my qtum in my exodus wallet - it's a very user friendly wallet and has a decent amount of coins available, you can download it here. They were having trouble storing it after the token swap to mainnet though!

Finally, if all other options aren't available, I think you could use Bittrex.

Hope this helps!

cool, thanks.

shall still wait to see if can get confirmation that Bittrex's withdrawals are NOT going to ERC20 anymore. if they are, I'd prefer to keep on a hardware wallet - though Exodus would be a great option otherwise...

No problem! Yeah it's a bit of an issue - the move to mainnet is going relatively smoothly for Qtum considering the work involved! Exodus is great, it was the first wallet I ever used.

also found this from Exodus support:

Qtum ERC20 to Mainnet Token Swap

guessing that if they've already made the switch over to the QTUM network, I'd imagine exchanges like Bittrex already would have too and thus any tokens bought and withdrawn there would already be operating on the QTUM blockchain.

shall report back once Bittrex customer support replies and clarifies...

(And yeah, as far as software-based wallets go, Exodus is very nice.)

Had a read of it, thanks! Yeah I would assume that by now they would have sorted it all out after the last few months.

Great, thanks for keeping me in the loop! Indeed it is, have been looking at building my own wallet with a equally friendly interface but supporting more coins so I can have more tokens etc.

ok - also sent a message to Exodus and this is their response (gotta love the speed of their customer service):

Since the Qtum token has switched from an ERC token to mainnet on October 4th, you cannot exchange Qtum in Exodus, and the Qtum wallet is disabled by default unless you have a balance. If you have any of the old ERC20 based Qtum in Exodus presently, you will probably want to switch it out to the mainnet version.

We have future plans for supporting the mainnet Qtum Ignition Tokens in Exodus, but until then, you won’t be able to send the new coins from the Qtum Ignition that you have in Bittrex back to Exodus. Check out our roadmap: Exodus Wallet Roadmap.

looks like might just need to get Qtum Ignition setup.

That was very speedy! Thanks again for updating me. It is looking like that alright! I'll keep you in the loop if I hear anything over the coming days.

Let me share a sad story about this coin.. I had some Qtum when it was 10$ around. After it increased 2$ dollars I instantly sold all of it. And one day I checked about it when I saw 55$~ I wanted to be blind..

it'll probably get more painful as it goes higher yet. lol.

I'm sure we've all made mistakes like these along our crypto journeys. Part of the learning process - through which we realize the wisdom of the long-term buy-and-hold investment strategy. :-)

Absolutely, crypto journeys are hard and you can not learn without losing some :P
