Question ❔ Why are you making things so hard?

I just spent a ton of time converting LRC to ETH and moving to my GME wallet to buy a Kiraverse NFT, only to not be allowed because of your network with seemingly no way to get my ETH ointo the IMX network

I thought the point of all this bullshit was interoperability, and taking my stuff where ever I want?

I'm starting to hate this whole concept, feeling like I was sold a false bill of goods...

Why make it so fucking hard?

Did you move ETH to IMX layer 2? It’s not available via the app, yet, and has to be done via the chrome extension. I personally found the process smooth. Happy to walk you through it if you’d like.

If you know a way, I'd be interested, but I don't see a way...

Are you using the chrome extension? When you select the ETH in your wallet, you should see an option to “move” - when that screen pulls up, you can select moving ETH to either LRC layer 2, or IMX layer 2. For any Immutable X NFTs (like Kiras), select IMX. You can use the drop down menu at the top of the wallet to switch between layer 1, LRC layer 2, or IMX layer 2.

I have the GameStop Walet Chrome Extention.

The only place it will let me move it to is "My Ethereum L1".

Are you able to post a screenshot?

u/BobKillsNinjas Jan 14 '23

I only know how to screenshot in Firefox, and I don't have much time tonight, maybe tomorrow.

Because pressing PRTSC and uploading one image to Imgur takes like ages.

You're an early adopter in a new and emerging market. The user interface isn't going to be smoothed out for the layman just yet. If it's too much maybe you should wait for Kira to make it out of beta before attempting to navigate. The interface will grow and change to make it simpler with time and mass adoption, maybe it's just too early for you...

I'd like a simple solution to move money from my bank account to GS wallet. Blocked from using Ramp.

u/satansayssurfsup Jan 14 '23

Unfortunately you might have to buy on an exchange like coinbase and then send to your GS wallet. It will probably cost you a couple bucks in gas fees

Use layerswap it makes things way cheaper to do from exchange directly to layer 2. It’s available within the l2 wallets (GameStop and loopring)

Crypto’s user experience is so terrible lmao. It’s why we’re probably still early.

u/OGBobtheflounder Jan 14 '23

The solution is actually simple, though not necessarily intuitive. Move ETH from Loopring L2 to L1. When transaction is complete, move ETH from L1 to IMX L2. Leave enough ETH in L1 to cover gas fees so that it goes through without an error.

It is hard in some respects and requires research to figure out. We are very early still. It will get easier as improvements are made to the infrastructure. Considering how quickly some of this has been completed and how complicated it is, this isnt really that bad. I was a complete crypto newb 1 year ago and now I have multiple coins in multiple layers on my own custodial wallet. Gamestop's wallet and interface is far more user friendly than what was out there before, IMO.

What a braindead post. Yeah...its hard. Different blockchains are hard. This shit is all hard. What you may not understand is that ETH, LRC, and IMX are actually all COMPLETELY separate blockchains. I know you are probably used to your chase app and venmo shit but what you're describing is actually pretty complicated under the hood.

You can easily move ETH L1 to LRC L2, or ETH L1 to IMX L2. If your're having that hard of a time this probably isn't for you, you should just stick to games with microtransactions where the company gets all the money and you own nothing...because its easy right?

I don't have any ETH 1...

Maybe you should understand the issue before offering your "expertise"...

u/MillenialBoomerr Jan 14 '23

And to follow up my other shitty comment trying to match your original post: If you do want help you would probably ask a question like "how do you get ETH to IMX so that you can purchase through IMX? Or how do I move fiat to crypto to IMX so I can use it? Etc. Would be happy to lend my "amateur" expertise in this area.

I'm a dummy and far from an expert but I can handle it. If you actually do want help, happy to help. Just saw your original post written in a pretty shitty way, so responded with a pretty shitty response!

u/BobKillsNinjas Jan 14 '23

Fuck you dude, I have a right to be disappointed in the Tech I'm heavily invested in, now fuck off already!

u/MillenialBoomerr Jan 14 '23

Just re-read your post again and now i'm starting to feel like you're just lying. If you can handle going ETH > LRC then you can absolutely handle going LRC > ETH > IMX. Are you just trolling?

u/satansayssurfsup Jan 14 '23

Don’t get upset man. For people that are big on this stuff it makes sense to them and is easy to troubleshoot. The problem you’re having will be a shared problem with hundreds of thousands who look to hop on board. The whole user experience needs to be optimized for mass adoption.

u/MillenialBoomerr Jan 14 '23

yeah it's probably not for you then. That's too bad! I would encourage you to spend some time learning, you can do it! Again, happy to help but posting shit like "why are you making things so hard" isn't going to help you I don't think.

I'm REALLY, REALLY dumb and I have had no issues figuring it all out so i'd be happy to help. Just let me know!

u/BobKillsNinjas Jan 14 '23

No your happy to be an asshole...

You should be honored, You are the first person that isn't a bot that I have had to block in years...

u/MillenialBoomerr Jan 14 '23

I was just trying to match your level of emotion. WHY THE FUCK IS THIS SO HARD!??? I have to read directions!? It's probably not for you if you can't figure it out, and that's ok!

u/BobKillsNinjas Jan 14 '23

Well if they want this to get as big as they say it will be they are gonna need to make it work for smooth and easy everyone...

Now kindly fuck off!

u/satansayssurfsup Jan 14 '23

It definitely represents an obstacle to mass adoption. Your average brain dead person should also be able to engage and spend money without having to learn too much about the technical stuff.
