[How To]: Buy/Move/Store OMNI MAID :safe: hardware and software wallets

Great, I was able to confirm using https://omniexplorer.info/ that my Maidsafecoin did arrive to my Trezor. Thank you for the link, cheers :pray:

This seems like a bug, any idea why they do this when omniexplorer doesn’t?

You can see that line of code here: https://github.com/trezor/omni-trezor/blob/trezor/src/App.js#L157

I guess it’s there so that transactions would be confirmed relatively fast.

I cloned the repo and run it locally with that restriction removed couple of weeks back. Transaction cost was then 0.00004309 BTC. It was confirmed after 8 hours or so.

I think I am just a very very slow learner when it comes to crypto…to this day I find it hard to get my head around and honestly I think my general intelligence is not terrible, and whilst I’m not a complete techy I can usually cope and indeed help others with mundane things, IT side that I have no prior knowledge of.

Sorry for the rant this is a long term bug bear for me. Maybe it would help by just using crypto a bit more or something to familiarize myself with…no doubt I’ve only got myself to blame.

Anyway…
ATM I have a trezor wallet (‘one’ I think but I could only decipher that by going through old orders as there is no mention of the model on the box or unit - undecipherable as everything seems to be in this weird world - def end of rant!). I sent my maidsafe there before all the exchanges delisted thankfully. But as I understand trezor has not fully integrated maidsafe or the protocol it utilizes. Hence just shows a nominal random(?) amount of BTC.

So question really is how can I send back into maidsafe coin, or better yet divest an amount to get to grips with. I will need to find and sign up to whichever exchange is now offering maidsafe a platform but once I’ve crossed that hurdle, is it just a case of getting an address (safecoin specific??) on the new exchange to point my random bitcoin trezor coins at and send?

How do I work out how many maidsafe I have?

What would happen if I sent the nominal bitcoin in Trezor, say to coinbase BTC wallet?

appreciate any help ta

Hello @dairymai,

here’s step by step what to do. First make sure that your MAID is in your Trezor wallet by going to this web address: OMNI Trezor

If you have difficulty, see step 1.1 of the first post in this topic.

Then go to Bittrex / HitBTC / P2PB2B and look for MaidSafeCoin in the deposit search engine.

Generate an address and send to it your MAID to sell it.

If you have questions along the way, it’s better to ask instead of losing your money.

Greetings and good luck!

Does anyone know how to increase the transaction fee when sending MAID from Trezor wallet (downgraded version trezor one firmware 1.9.0)? And/or how to increase this fee while the transaction is still unconfirmed? I made a transfer 12hrs ago, and it still shows unconfirmed. The downgraded version of the Trezor wallet doesn’t seem to have an option to increase transaction fees, and is set on: 0.000114 BTC (USD$ 7). When checking Omniexplorer I see most recent MAID transactions made with transaction fees 3~4 times higher than this.

I need help calculating btc fee to move my coins, I just send 0.0023 btc and Omnicore displays a warning “The sending address is low on BTC for transaction fees.” . Maybe i choose the wrong time to move the coins, but 0.0023 btc + 15 dollars for sending the btc is a lot of money for me.

I need a formula to calculate transaction size in bytes, Omnicore say the recomended fee for bitcoin is 0.00209550 BTC/kB, but in the omnilayer tab there is only the warning of low btc, so i dont know how much money i need save to move my coins.

Thank you Dimitar, unfortunately it didn’t work. So after 3 days of waiting I’ve used the paid service of viabtc, which made it go through within an hour.

I’m not sure how the transactions are calculated, but you can just see how much the last successful transaction used here and run your own for the same fee or little more:

I added info how many tokens in theory there are left in the wrapped Open.MAID token (in theory because only the wrapped tokens are visible, I can’t find the address of the real OMNI tokens) at the fake DEX Open Ledger DEX:

I just kept mine in an omniwallet until I purchased a Trezor. Trezor is the way to go, imo. Its about $60usd for the One model.

What @amaizenblue said. Trezor One is pretty good. I’d get good at noughts and crosses though…

Also, since you said a few people…you get a bit of a discount (10%-ish) if you order 3 of them.

Also I think @dimitar may have a referral link so that would be a few $$ more into his marketing fund.

Or if you want to do deal when you are back in Glasgow cos I am likely to be buying more for folks in the coming weeks months
