Ether in Jaxx & OMG Airdrop / how to claim tokens / wie man claimen kann

in #omg7 years ago

Hi fellow Steemians!

Yes, the OMG airdrop has finally happened. Yes, when you had your ETH tokens in a jaxx wallet you were awarded some OMG, even though Jaxx does not fully support OMG yet.

This is a quick guide on how to claim your OMG tokens easily when using jaxx:

Step 1: Check your private key for Ethereum

  • open jaxx wallet
  • go to the menu and select the tools section
  • display private keys
  • read the warning message, and if you do, click "I understand"
  • click "display ethereum keys" and you will see both private and public key
  • copy your private key

Step 2: Check your balance

  • go myetherwallet.com, even if you don't have a wallet set up there (make sure it is the correct one, there seems to be a scam going around)
  • go to "send ether & tokens"
  • paste your private key and unlock the wallet
  • it will show your ether balance
  • scroll down to find a button "load token balances"
  • this will show your balance of other tokens you received due to airdrops (I had small amounts of ICN and OMG in there now)

Step 3: send OMG tokens to another wallet / address

  • scroll up again for the transaction section
  • this looks pretty much like any transaction box you should know from other wallets or exchanges
  • you are being asked to put in the "to address" and the "amount to send" (select OMG from the drop down menu) --> don't have an OMG wallet yet? you can use MyEtherWallet for that or simply get an OMG address in an exchange of your choice.
  • select OMG from the drop down menu
  • click "send entire balance"
  • simply use the gas limit suggested by MyEtherWallet
  • click on the "generate transaction" button

I will probably add some screenshots, but for now I only had my laptop on me in a café...

Happy claiming!

This is great. Now I don't have to deal with the endless block-chain load occurring in Ether Wallet/Mist --- Just do it on the Jaxx wallet.

Thank you so much for this straight-forward explanation and instruction.
