$GUP Holders can now claim $QGUP (QGuppy) on the Qtum Blockchain!

We are distributing a second token, dubbed ‘QGUP’ on top of the Qtum blockchain. Current holders of Guppy on the Ethereum network will have an option to claim the second token on a 1:1 basis within a limited timeframe. Hurry up!

Note: Please use Qtum Core to generate your address for receiving QGUP tokens. While other wallets, such as Jaxx.io support Qtum, they currently do not support Qtum tokens, meaning you will not be able to transact your tokens using their wallet.

Reminder: you have to withdraw your (Ethereum) tokens from exchanges such as Bittrex and Liqui in order to receive QGUP. You will not receive any QGUP if you choose not to follow the instructions in this guide.

Here’s a guide on how to register yourself for the QGUP distribution:

Step #1) Download Qtum Core:

From: https://github.com/qtumproject/qtum/releases

Select your operating system and download the appropriate binary.

qtum-0.xx.x-win64.zip for Windows

qtum-0.xx.x-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.gz for Linux

qtum-0.xx.x-osx-unsigned.dmg for macOS

Step #2) Unzip the archive and install Qtum Core on your machine:

For Windows, run the wallet binary located at ‘/bin/qtum-qt.exe’ and proceed to the next step in the guide.

For Linux, run the following commands:

cd qtum-0.14.8

cd bin

./qtum-qt

Launching Qtum Core on Ubuntu

The next steps in the guide look pretty much identical on Linux, macOS and Windows machines and apply for all of them.

Step #3) Generate your Qtum Address:

Generate an address by clicking the ‘Receive’ tab and then ‘Request payment’. Your Qtum address should be displayed now.
