I ran into a similar issue with SimpleSwap, which resulted in my transaction getting stuck. I ended up having to eat the loss. I’ve avoided getting any MAID since because the liability of OMNI is too much.

I have the same problem, try to move my coins from omnicore to a trezor and there is a warning “the sending address is low on BTC for transaccion fees” , there is 0.0025 btc in that address.

This is the kind of problem that could easily get a lot worse.

Yup, and this is why exchanges are dumping OMNI. Honestly, the writing has been on the wall for such a long time. It baffles me that the move wasn’t made years ago.

Isn’t this also a problem for Bittrex, in which case why are P2PB2B struggling with it and not Bittrex?

Lets be crystal clear about this - This has NOTHING to do with MAID or OMNI, this is me trying to withdraw BTC from the mendacious people at P2PB2B.
Im having to sell my precious MAID for BTC because the MAID wallet is still under “maintenance”.
This is them charging ridiculous fees to ANYBODY who wants to withdraw BTC
Same sorry shameful situation with ETH

You can try exchange BTC to LTC or other crypto if they show withdrawal fees.

I honestly don’t know how BIttrex handles this. With SimpleSwap, I had to eat ~20% loss on a MAID order because of fluctuating OMNI/BTC fees. Bittrex’s CEO put me in contact with their token listing team a couple of weeks ago about relisting MAID for the US market, so I’m not about to rock that boat by asking how they manage such a low MAID fee (compared to HitBTC’s 300 MAID, I believe).
I’ll also add that given that these fees are a multi-chain problem to varying degrees (e.g. affecting BTC, ETH, etc.), I’m going to categorize this as a symptom of blockchain’s fatal flaw. Should Safe do all (or even half) of what we expect, it will truly render redundant these feeble and inefficient attempts at distributed solutions.

Why not just trade your BTC for XLM before moving it off to somewhere else with cheaper withdraw fees of the coin you prefer? That’s generally what I do if I find myself in these predicaments.

Thank you, I traded all assets on P2Pb2b for LTC and moved it to Bittrex for a reasonble fee

Yes, thank you @Mendrit!
With the recent price drop in Bittrex (but not in P2PB2B) I traded some of my MAID into BTC, then into LTC, out of exchange and then back into MAID. Profited about 25%, so thanks to P2PB2B for holding my bags for me.
I have never really thought about trading with arbitrage, but the situation almost forced me to do so.

Are we just assuming P2PB2B stole all the MAID at this point? Is anyone actually working on this problem?

Have they not fixed it yet then?
We have a call scheduled tonight where p2pb2b tech guy is joining to find a solution. No worries, funds are safe.

No.
This will be our second call this week. We covered quite a bit of ground in understanding where the technical issue may be coming from. If our hypothesis is correct, the problem should be relatively straightforward to fix. Hopefully we’ll get to the bottom of this today.

As a quick update: we have isolated the issue with P2P deposits/withdrawals into 2 discrete areas. We have identified a solution to one of those issues, and P2P is now going to test that approach. The other issue will require input from Omni itself. We anticipate that P2P has indicated they will reach out to Omni about this. More to come.
