      History of Qtum(QTUM)

      Qtum like all other cryptocurrencies is based on the model of the first actual cryptocurrency, Bitcoin. However, before Bitcoin’s and Qtum’s time , cryptocurrencies were much more different, relying instead on a centralized power structure rather than the decentralized governance we see today. If it weren’t for the works of cryptographers such as David Chaum, Wei Dai, Nick Szabo and Hal Finney, who established some of the ground concepts for modern cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin, Ethereum and Qtum would not exist today. However, the most important reason why Qtum was made possible is thanks to a person or a group of people under the alias Satoshi Nakamoto. He took the concepts that cryptographers before him established and managed to create an actual peer-to-peer electronic money system that couldn’t be counterfeited. If Satoshi Nakamoto didn’t create Bitcoin, it is hard to say if Qtum or most cryptocurrencies would exist today.

      Qtum is a cryptocurrency with the symbol QTUM and it’s price ticker on our website is 2.78. Its current price is 2.78 and the total change over the past 24 hours is -0.13. Qtum boasts a volume of 685,423.37 in the past 24 across your selected exchanges.

      Qtum Characteristics

      Cryptocurrencies like Qtum use strong cryptographic protocols, or very complex computer code to secure transfers of information, in order to create a safe system that is notoriously difficult to crack. The programmer of digital currencies such as Qtum base these protocols on complex mathematic and computer engineering fundamentals, creating a structure that makes it impossible to replicate funds for Qtum and also hides the identities of the parties involved on any transaction on Qtum network , unless the participants freely disclose their information.

      Qtum Operates on a Blockchain


      You can imagine the blockchain that Qtum is based on as a giant, distributed database where every transaction’s information is recorded and then spread on a massive network of connected nodes or computers. The information for transaction of Qtum is then multiplied and stored on each individual node, so in order to change it you would have to access he majority of the Qtum’s nodes at the same time, which has so far proven to be impossible.


      No one can alter the defining characteristics that govern Qtum base, unless certain conditions are met and changes are implemented by the developer team or a network wide consensus is reached for the changes to be applied.

      One disadvantage of operating on a blockchain is that generally, transactions with Qtum are final, meaning that is very unlikely that a transaction can be rolled back if a mistake occurs. Be careful when transacting cryptocurrencies such as Qtum and make sure you double check all the details of the transaction before submitting it.


      Qtum Advantages

      Decentralized Point of Control

      Qtum (QTUM) is defined by a decentralized governance system, which does not rely on a single point of control to manage transactions on the network in the same way a bank would. Because of this Qtum’s network features a distinct advantage that makes it very difficult to counterfeit or imitate. Another advantage of being decentralized is that any attacks on Qtum’s network will have to be in multiple places at the same, whereas a bank or any centralized system will have an host of servers in one place.

      Cost Efficient

      Generally speaking, auditing records is a time consuming and expensive process, whereas for Qtum which stores all its records on the blockchain, this can be done with minimal effort and in a much shorter time.

      Establishing a Digital Identity

      You can create your own identity on the Qtum blockchain, which can be though of as an account of sorts. Whenever you open an “account” on the Qtum blockchain, you will be given a private key, which lets you interact with the blockchain, and a public key, which let others identify and interact with you.


      Since all information that is transmitted on the Qtum blockchain is stored and secured on a wide network of computers or nodes, you can always be sure that the information presented is valid and has not been tampered with.

      Qtum Supply Details

      Qtum is distinguished from traditional fiat currencies due to way the supply works for most cryptocurrencies. It cannot be printed like governments do with fiat, due to the maximum supply being 107822406 and this dictated by the base code that the Qtum network runs on. No more than 107822406 will ever exist unless major changes to the code are applied. Another interesting fact about Qtum’s supply is there can be two other types of supply aside from the maximum supply. One is the total supply which indicates the amount of coins there are currently in existence. For Qtum the total supply is 101635080. This is the sum of all Qtum units that have been mined or created since the network’s creation. . The other one is the circulating supply which for Qtum is 95885060. This can be different that the total supply due factors such as funds being locked in escrow, coins being locked in masternodes.

      How to Store Qtum

      There are a few way to store your Qtums , and they all involve a certain types of both physical and electronic wallets. Regardless of what kind of wallet you will use, in order to access your Qtum funds you will need to have a private key and a public key. With the private key, you can access your funds and send them to whoever you like, just as long as it is an address that Qtum is compatible with. Never ever disclose your Qtum private key or also called private address, as this will give anyone who has it full control over your wallet. The other type of key is the public key or address, which is used for other people to send Qtum to your wallet, and this one can be freely disclosed but it can be used to identify you if a name is ever associated with your public address.

      Qtum Paper Wallet

      The only physical and non-electronic way to store your Qtum is through a paper wallet, and this is possibly the safest way to protect your Qtums. Simply write the private and public keys of your Qtum wallet on a sheet of paper, however you will need access to an electronic device should you choose to send or move your Qtum funds to another address. The risk here is losing or damaging the sheet of paper with your Qtum public key.

      Qtum Hardware Wallet

      You can store Qtum on a device like a Trezor or USB drive. You are able to make online transactions by plugging them into any any net enabled device to send Qtum to another address. Usually the hardware device that you store your Qtum on is offline which is a great security advantage. Please conduct proper research before purchasing any hardware wallet to store Qtum funds on as many are outdated or of poor quality.

It can be dangerous if any virus infects your PC or if any physical damage comes to it, which can result in the loss of all your Qtum funds.

      Qtum Online Wallet

      For online wallets, they operate in the cloud and your private and public keys for your Qtum funds are stored in the cloud as well. Very handy if you plan to access it from multiple devices but they also put your Qtum at great risk due to security breaches in the cloud storage which is not that unheard of.

      Qtum Mobile Wallet

It is a simple smartphone application where you set up an account and you can use it to send Qtum by scanning a QR code or even use it to pay in any shops that accept Qtum. However, your Qtum funds can be lost if your phone is damaged or if its security is breached.

      Qtum Summary

      Qtum’s network can be defined as a payment system, with accounts, transactions and balances. You can store Qtum on one of the wallet types mentioned above and it will act as your own personal bank account that you are responsible of maintaining and keeping your private keys secure. Qtum as a cryptocurrency allows you to make secure transactions and you can always check the transaction details by checking the Qtum public ledger, if applicable. This revolutionary method of being your own bank assured that Qtum and other cryptocurrencies will play a vital role in the way we conduct transactions and how we define currencies in the future.
