Bitcoin fees are way down now. Isn’t that the point of switching from OMNI?
Ok, they still aren’t super cheap, but not too bad for investment transfers.

I moved some MAID out of my wallet about three days ago for a whopping 16 bucks. It’s not necessarily cheap, but not an off-putting amount either.

Lol, Let’s move to Neo instead of Ethereum then.
Or even better. We keep Omni, add Eth token, add Neo token.
We will be the first triple token on the crypto sphere.
Then it becomes even more obscure to everyone but us what Maid really is.

Well, judging by myself, coins don’t catch my eye simply because they’re listed somewhere. I didn’t just hang around Polo or Cryptopia and I didn’t run into MAID by accident. I deliberately went there to buy MAID after learning what it was. Exchanges are just a means. If i like the project, I will dig the tunnel to its coin no matter how deep I gotta go. And it’s not like MAID is out of reach.
What is left is maybe a “proof” that listing on more exchanges would have that effect. But it seems almost self evident IMO.
It’s not just left, it’s left missing. As is the valid reasoning. The more I think about it, the more I would like MAID to take the shape of the Ethereum token, but for different reasons. I realize that the appeal of MAID to “masses” stands and falls with:
a) progress
b) deadlines
In the grand scheme of things, the number of exchanges listing MAID is just a formality at this moment (unless we talk about a behemoth like Binance).
I kinda saw you saying what you probably did, so it’s okay.
Briefly: Claiming something to be self-evident is probably not a valid reasoning, especially following the realization the proof is missing. The only way to prove you right would be a successful experiment.
I don’t doubt getting listed everywhere tomorrow would result in at least temporary increase in trading volume. By how much and if it’s even worth it, that’s a guess at best.
Trading and marketing are intertwined, so no worries.
And hey, do a POLL on “How did you come across MAID”. I would suggest the options of exchange, reddit, bitcointalk, FB, friends, you know. It would be a good hint. I’m not saying my way is the only way, but this can be kinda proved / disproved, so go for it, pusher.
If we had an ERC20 token it would need to compliment maidsafecoin rather than a distinctive conversion timeline like SJCX → STORJ had. I.e. both tokens valid at point of conversion into SAFE with MAID burnt to obtain the new one. Hardly fair to screw people just because they weren’t paying attention. Also we shouldn’t remove the cap we should just define clearer informationals on how the farming rates will look over time so they aren’t as daunting looking.
How does the transition to an ERC20 token make people talk or care about MAID any more than they do already?
It just allows it to be listed on more exchanges easier. More exchanges have already done the work to support ERC20 tokens but not necessarily OMNI ones.
This is why maybe becoming an ERC20 token would have a lot benefits, you can be listed on exchanges like tidex that are DEX

let’s migrate the out to ERC20 tokens, Omni is killing Maid.

How would an exchange force a 1:1 exchange of the Omni asset and the ec20 ?
Do you have any evidence for that? See this post.

Storj successfully did the migration, there already is precedent, this is not a rocket science.

i would not go for a dual system makes it more complex then it have to be, Storj indeed already changed so if they can why would maidsafe wont be able to do it.
It doesn’t have to. They can choose to list either or both types. All that matters is that the sum of all MAID in circulation, OMNI or ERC-20, remains the same and eventually, either type can be exchanged for SafeCoin.

Also there’s at least like 4 decentralised ERC20 token exchanges–and more being made–that MaidSafeERC20Coin could be immediately listed on once it exists. Free, in many cases

That is a real argument 
What does happen with erc20 token in case of blockchain splitting? Ethereum did a reset once - what prevents them from doing it again…?

what happen to Omni after bitcoin forked into BCH, BTG, BCD, BTX, BCS? Nothing happen. Same with Ethereum fork, ERC is fine and immune to forks

… But those forks were known in advanced… Eth was renamed to ethereum classic afterwards… There is a difference between the two things… And I couldn’t imagine the ethereum way would have happened on the bitcoin blockchain…
Ps: ethereum ‘did the right thing’ instead of what it was supposed to do… In that sense it’s not a reliable business partner imho

if exchanges only accept ERC token running on ETH, then ETC fork has no impact. there were hundreds ERC 20 tokens running on Ethereum upto ETH/ETC hard fork, no impact whatsoever to ERC tokens.
let’s put the philosophical and political discussion aside, Etheruem is just a token rail for ERC token projects.

Hmhmm and those moved coin in the time span that got reset probably just needed to re-send them 
okay - accepted
