Press the right button and the tokens dissappear into the crypto void… that’s what burning is.
Hopefully there won’t be any way of burning by pressing a wrong button that voids the ANT airdrop… even if there was, I would hope Autonomi could help manually as long as tokens were provably burned.
That would have been easier, and I would be interested to know why this method was preferred.
I expect many people will need to do it twice after forgetting to add the 18 decimals!
Exciting times ahead!
@JimCollinson what’s the process for people who participated in MaidSafeCoin Loan Scheme? If I remember correctly it was planned to handle this together with the TGE. Will the coins be sent to the original OMNI address, which then has to be burned, or will this be handled directly through ANT through another process?
The process seems simple enough. Its just for some reason I cant get my MEW address connected when I ‘connect to web3’. Im scanning the code through my MEW app but it doesn’t seem to be connecting.
Can anyone help? Maybe I just send to a different wallet first to make it easier? Or even transfer them back to bitmart (if bitmart are taking part in the conversion)… What do you reckon?
Definitely don’t send them to Bitmart, the token is paused for the airdrop there. You can try Metamask directly and if it connect, send your tokens there.
Check out the Dev Forum
Connecting MetaMask is definitely easier and faster through WalletConnect. Never not connected that way for me.
Just putting my preference out there:
Pay the loan and interest in MAID to the address from whence they came.
(Would surely involve the least amount of work for Maidsafe Ltd too)
Failing that. Loan back in MAID, interest in ANT
Least favourite: all in ANT
Only one problem with that. Where does the MAID come from?
The purpose of the loan was to sell the MAID for operational costs. The repayment was from the foundation’s share of TGE. Thus has to be in ANT
yeah, as i was typing I was wondering if they still have enough MAID to cover.
but whatever - i was just expressing my preference.
I’ll take it however it comes.
I’m not involved in the work on that process, and it’s on it’s way, but I think it’s unlikely to utilise Omni, will probably be straight to ANT. But we’ll let you know.
What about ETH address signed with original Bitcoin address you send the funds ? Anyway as they did not specifie the proccess of paying back tokens. It might be problem for some folks to obtain all details from 5years old address.
i don’t see much issue with the instructions, they seem very clear to me, but having worked on IT support maybe we can embed a calculator uint256 somewhere? so people know the conversion?
I think overall the instructions for the various paths are fairly clear, but anything ETH related is fraught with uncertainty. For example - connecting Ledger wallet to Metamask need to select one of the available addresses. Why one and does it matter which one? And if doesn’t matter, why is there a choice? Could the wrong receive address be used for conversion or does the ETH chain know how to direct ANT? I think it matters because I have both ETH and Arb ETH (different chains). This is all likely clear to crypto experts, but having painfully detailed instructions with pictures to go along for all of the conversion routes would be beneficial. Again, in fairness, the documentation is actually quite good. But having lost some USDC-BNB by sending it to a Coinbase USDC-ERC20 address (classic rookie move) I know things are not always what they seem on the surface. I have heard that there may be ways to recover those coins (conflicting accounts on this), but that’s a project for some day in the future when I have a few hours to bang my head against the wall for a few bucks. And seeing how with crypto 99% is not good enough I can sympathize with the anxiety many are feeling.
You’re right that it probably won’t end up being the end of the world to be forced to wait 18 months, but it certainly isn’t a good thing or emaid investors would be begging to have their money witheld too.
It’s more the complete lack of communication that’s the issue. It’s a massive change to go from “we’re selling you shares in a company that will generate revenue on the maidsafe network.” To one day be told “actually we’re just giving you coin, but at 2-3x worse a rate than if you never bought shares, and in addition you’ll receive them 18 months later than everyone else, okay bye”
The BTTF was a bad investment but that’s investing. You win some you lose some. I have a feeling the lockup will come in handy in a few years.
Perhaps the team could create a Q&A with all the most frequently asked questions that users are asking regarding TGE process. It is a new process for all of us and if we fail at something we lose all the tokens, it is convenient to explain it thoroughly as best as possible. Maybe a video tutorial would also be very helpful.
We created DOCS explaining how to burn and such. Come to discord and ping me for the quickest response. I also meet with people 1:1 there to support via voicecall and screensharing in private calls.
Already there it seems
Congratulations to the team! I’ve been continuing to lurk and watch the progress and also thankyou to all the people spending their time and resources to support testing!
Just a quick question, one when searching ANT, it seems that Aragon has/had the same ticker. Has that project been closed? Just concerned people might confuse the two?
