Hi folks. I have some maid in several different wallet addresses, in my bitcoin QT/core wallet on my pc. Do I need to have a small amount of bitcoin on each of those addresses as well for sending purposes, or is it as long as there is enough in the wallet itself?
Also how much btc do I need for each withdrawal? (sending of maid somewhere else).
And finally, I read somewhere some time ago that the btc address that the maid was sent to originally in the QT wallet needed to be an address that started with a certain number or something of the sort. Can someone verify this is correct for me please or elaborate what that was about.
Ok so I need to send a small amount of btc to each of the addresses in the same btc wallet of mine? I cant just have the bitcoin in any address on the same wallet?
Ok thanks. And are you familiar with the last question I had in my original post, where the maid needed to be sent to an address that started with a certain letter or number, or something of the sort when it was sent to my btc qt wallet originally? I do not remember where I read something about that on this forum but I do recall something of the sort, and I want to head off any challenge I might have here before proceeding if there is one.
At first it had to be legacy addresses (1xxxx). Some say it will work with 3xxxx addresses. But I think it cannot be lightning addresses or something like that
Thanks guys. Is there anywhere on this forum that has the instructions of how to properly receive maid into a btc qt wallet, and also how to properly send maid form a qt wallet to omni?
You need the OMNI QT core. It piggybacks on the BTC QT core.
the data field needs to be properly formatted for the transaction to be a OMNI protocol transaction.
The web wallet omniwallet can do the sending and receiving. Of course its wiser to use it to send all your omni & btc since there is a small possibility of some hack somewhere to capture your login details
Ok thanks guys. I will have to look into the omni QT option as its the first i’ve heard of it. Is it a download client from the omni website or something of the sort?
Also I am not sure how to recognize if the addresses I am holding my maid on are legacy or not. I am pretty sure I made the addresses around 2016 or 2017 but i’m not 100% sure on this. How can I be certain the addresses are safe?
Bones, in response to this: “Just need to extract pvt keys and import to omniwallet, for safety i wouldnt leave coin on an add id imprted there though unless as a watch only add.”
I am not quite sure what you meant by “on an add id imported there”. I will guess that you meant once i send my maid there after importing the private keys, that I should be concerned with the potential of what is still in the btc qt wallet being stolen because of the private key now on omni. If there is other concerns here or this is not correct please elaborate for me.
And in response to neo: “The web wallet omniwallet can do the sending and receiving. Of course its wiser to use it to send all your omni & btc since there is a small possibility of some hack somewhere to capture your login details”
To see if i’m getting you right, you are stating its wiser to use the OMNI QT core for this reason?
Pretty sure they were all 1xxxx addresses back then
omniwallet.org is a site that is an online wallet for the omni protocol. You can import your private key and do transactions using it. IE send/receive MAID. Only need private key if sending. Can just look at an address balance without even logging in
to send/receive MAID you either use the online wallet or omni qt core. the core is safer only because using any online wallet has an additional risk over your private key. Omniwallet.org though does not store private keys unencrypted and requires your login to decrypt them on your own machine
I’ve never studied omni or counterparty deeply. I was wondering if the omni token is associated with the address or with a particular utxo stored at the address. I’m guessing it must (somehow) be the former because if the latter, then one could mistakenly send that utxo out of the wallet when performing a non-omni tx… just because wallet (eg bitcoin-core) will typically grab utxo’s from various addresses to satisfy the spend amount.
So I guess the only way I could see it working if based on utxo is that omni wallets are expected to be used only in the context of omni tx, and never as a “regular” bitcoin wallet.
just thinking out loud and hoping someone here (neo?) knows the answer.
Ok thanks. So I am aware of omni wallet online, I actually have an account with some maid on it from another source, not my btc wallet. But omni core sounds like a client wallet you download and host in your own pc, is that correct? And if yes do I get that client from omni website?
