Awesome thanks bones. I don’t intend to hold anything else on those addresses so comnicore may not be useful in my case, but i’ll still look into it just for the knowledge if anything else. Much appreciated on all your help. If anyone else can confirm that is where you get omnicore qt please.
The OMNI protocol extensions uses the transactions recorded in the data section of the BTC transaction to create its own ledger. The omni transaction is between addresses, so while using the payload of the BTC transaction its still working on the address.
Doesn’t matter if you do BTC transactions or otherwise the omni qt only looks at transactions with the payload. It takes a long time to build both the BTC blockchain (its only a database really) and the OMNI database.
Yes, it hold the BTC and OMNI databases (blockchain) and you can perform wallet operations
The structure of an Omni transaction is explained here.
In this case it is a USDT Omni transaction.
For a Maid transaction, you would have to modify the code (31->3) and send integer amounts.

great writeup, thx for sharing.
Receiving is not a problem, only for sending you need to make a SimpleSend transaction which can only be done with OmniCore or you need to get the private keys of the addresses that have the MAID on them and import those to omniwallet (which also has omnicore running).
Got it thanks. Nicely put.
When I import the private keys to omniwallet am I no longer needing the little amount of bitcoin for this method?
You still need the tiny BTC.
The reason is the omni transaction is actually stored within a BTC transaction so there needs to be an actual BTC transaction to carry the omni transaction you are doing.
A BTC transaction has many fields like address, amount and a user data field. Omni stores its transaction in this user data field

Ok and I am guessing I also need to put some btc in the address for such time of sending it out from ominwallet?
Yes that makes it easy and ensures you are not short BTC when the time comes to move it out again
Got it. Thank you for all your help here. Much appreciated.

Yes correct. It wouldn’t hurt to top up 3-4$ per address just to be sure. That should cover the tx + minimum BTC that omni uses to store it’s data.
Hi folks. Does anyone have instructions for locating and transferring the private keys of of a wallet address in bitcoin QT/core wallet into ominwallet?
**select the 'console' tab**.
**type: walletpassphrase "your walletpassphrase here" 600**.
**type: dumpprivkey [your Bitcoin address here]**
Now you should have your plain private key which you can import to omniwallet using the following:

ok is the private key anywhere more simple like in a folder? Or is this the only way to find them? I am using windows 8 by the way.
That is the only way im aware of to grab pvt keys from qt.
Edit, personally i use wallet lock command vs the timer though.
ok and is it the same for older operating systems like windows 8? This is what i’m using with my QT wallet.
Yes, should work fine, same instructions over many qt releases, they worked on win 7, so should be fine
great thanks.

Just a big thank you to everyone who participated and helped out in this thread.
Because of you folks, I was able to successfully move my coins where i needed them to go safely and without a hiccup. And learn some long overdue pertinent information about the process in doing so.
Much appreciated guys and thanks again.
