Hello @Dimitar, as a beginner in crypto trading, even though I have bought MaidSafe coin once quite a while ago, i am not very familiar with the process and do not have a lot of knowledge on safety. So please allow me to ask a few questions to get some tips from you:
- What are the common errors that people make when it comes to purchasing bitcoin and how to avoid them?
- Is there any easy way to compare transaction fees of different exchanges?
- Any recommendation of platforms and exchanges which do not require KYC?
Iāve followed a few tips of yours before when i bought safecoin the last time. But this time i ask you directly, instead of gathering up tips from everywhere, so as to get more safecoins in my diamond hands more securely and efficiently. I personally appreciate very much your effort!!

Hello @Hildog,
In short I do not recommend trading. Crypto is a game in which the impatient give their money to the patient. Bitcoin is 550 million% up in 11 years. You canāt beat this with trading. You canāt beat it with hard work.
We are living at the dawn of a new era of speculation, and while most people have already bought old instruments such as gold and silver, there are still millions of people who have not bought crypto.
Thatās why crypto is growing more than gold and silver, because the ratio between the people who are in the crypto game and those outside it is still huge. This means that we will see many more speculative cycles before the crypto stabilizes and enough people enter the game to start using it.
Therefore, my recommendation is not to trade, but simply to accumulate little by little with money that you can afford to lose, because the crypto is not a bank account, if you use it as such you will lose.
I like and use UniSwap for altcoins 
To summarize - postponing pleasure is the path to success in the crypto world. Good luck and thank you for appreciating my efforts to help more people.

Holding them on exchanges and web wallets.
Not writing down your password/seeds.
If there was, you would know what a rip-off some of them are.
Uniswap?

Is there anything other than Omni Core?
Omni Core canāt prune and I donāt have 400 Gigs of space left. 
Omnicore is the only one afaik, or use btc core, but you then need to export your pvt key and use omniwallet to send the coins.
What are your objectives @folaht ? If you just want to hold your coins off an exchange then any BTC address compatible with Omni will do. To send the coins you need an Omni capable wallet. If you are trying to do that without putting your private keys into the omniwallet website then you can either use Omni Core or go through an armory offline signing setup that just sends the signed transactions through omniwallet
Edit: or use Trezor
My objective is to store the coins, put the wallet in a safe place and sell them 5 years later.
No hardware wallet. Iām strapped for cash, so Iāll be using my own method.
So I donāt need to send until 2026.
But seeing this all btc core it is.
Just be aware you may well need to move them before that.
Itās not yet known when weāll go live or how long the window to swap to snt will be open.
I just noticed that thereās a community effort to switch Maid.omni to Maid.erc20.
Maybe Iāll just keep my maids on the exchange until then.
They might be safer in a bitcoin wallet like Electrum. To move them you can import the private keys into omniwallet.
Hi all - Iām a bit out of the loop so forgive my ignoranceā¦ I donāt see MAID listed on Bittrex when I search the markets. Just says no results found. Is Bittrex still an option for buying more MAID or is there another exchange that we can buy from?
Thanks!
MAID is only available in Bittrex International, the US version does not have itā¦
https://simpleswap.io/ works with MAID from time to time for people in US (at the moment the search does not show it for me, but it appears sometimes - maybe try tomorrow or in 2-3 days)

Hello again Mr. Happy Being,
As youāve suggested Iāve recovered my Maid into an Electrum wallet but I canāt see them and Iām told that, as youāre discussing, to put them into an omniwallet and that I must import a private key into omniwallet to see the Maid.
Can you or anyone explain that process in a little more detail please?
When I go to export my private key from the Electrum wallet it asks if I want to create a cvs file or a json file:
Is the json file the correct choice to export a key into an omniwallet?
Do you export all the keys into the omniwalletā¦ or just one?
One last question:
Since Iām in the USA and Iām trying to sell or exchange approximately 5,000 maidsafecoins, my only choice is simpleswap.ioā¦ is that correct? I have been searching on simpleswap.io for several days now and I keep getting a āCryptocurrency was not foundā message. Is it correct that at some point there will be MAID on simplesway.io and I will be able to exchange them for BTC or ETH at that time?
Once again I apologize from my patent and through going ignorance in these matters, but I thank you or anyone else who responds in advance for your help.
You can try changelly, also. But I think it will only show an available pair from a non-U.S. ip addressā¦
Also, you can SEE your MAID balance using omni explorer.

I thought that was the case and I tried omniexplorer.info but I must have done something wrong because it didnāt show me anything.
Hmm. I dont use electrum (mine is on trezor). But I would think it should work for you. Do you have bitcoin in the same address as your MAID?
