ionomy is instant, I use that, but very low volumes and maybe not the best prices, also high fees I've heard mentioned, although I don't pay too much attention to that!
Bittrex is my favourite though. I'd open up an account with them for starters and use that.
You then want to sell if for BTC and if you're stopping there you'll need a wallet to send the BTC to, although if yer gonna send BTC to a wallet, you're better off converting it to LTC if it's small amounts, as sending BTC costs about £3, litecoin about ten times less.
I recommend Coinomi as a decent free phone based crypto wallet.
If you're converting to Hive, just send it here, obviously.
Bil.prag below/ above has a decent explanation of how to get your Steem to Bittrex, that's probably going to be the most daunting bit!
Fantastic, cheers for the detail mate.
I’m definitely keen on a mobile wallet so I’ll be checking out Coinomi for sure
