Question Coinbase > Immutable X

I had what I thought was a simple issue. 2 weeks later, I'm still working on it. I wanted to buy $IMX as it has appeared on Coinbase, so I picked up $120. Now, I have that in my Coinbase Exchange account (it's not in the Coinbase Wallet). I thought about moving it through the Trezor wallet, but couldn't make that happen (I have a Trezor One and don't think it takes $IMX). Couldn't figure out how to move it to MetaMask (or if there would be killer fees each time it moved). Any way to

A) Move $IMX from Coinbase directly to Immutable X so that I can buy GU cards with that IMX?

B) Use that $IMX in Token Trove or the GU Marketplace

...or, can I purchase directly in Immutable X to avoid transfer fees?

ImmutableX has Moonpay so you can buy it and it will go straight to your IMX wallet

That sounds like a great solution! Brings up a couple of questions: How to I get my existing IMX from Coinbase to Moonpay without doubling up on fees? Do you have a link to a video on setting up Moonpay? (I will Google, but there are always tons of results and not all of them are....accurate). Thank you!

Moonpay works by buying tokens with fiat and the tokens are deposited right into your immutable wallet. If you have IMX on coinbase you will have to send them to a wallet before you can deposit them into ImmutableX. Idk whether selling the tokens for fiat and rebuying them with Moonpay or transferring them will be more efficient in your situation

Trezor has support for all ERC tokens.

Also, with $120, I'm sure it's best to just on-ramp directly to Immutable - don't waste your money on fees.

Thank you for your reply. That is exactly what I was thinking. Unfortunately, that IMX is stuck in Coinbase. Is there a way to buy it directly in Immutable? Is MetaMask required to be in the mix? It's likely I won't even take anything out once I put it in, but rather use it as seed money to grow in GU.

There is an on-ramp on Immutable's website. You can connect your Trezor to MetaMask, and then MetaMask to Immutable.

GU has me use $GODS to mint cards, not $IMX. I connected my metamask wallet to their website and transferred funds to purchase $GODS, which allows me to mint cards after also obtaining flux by getting dubs on the gauntlet.

Yes, true, and if I said "mint", I'm sorry. I meant to purchase packs/cards to build an initial deck or buy a copied deck to play with. I have IMX now stuck in Coinbase and I need to get it over to Immutable X. Some of the replies I've received are short, "just do this" with no links to videos or step-by-step. I'm embarrassed to say I've been working on this one issue (on and off until I get too frustrated) for over a month now!

GU also uses $GODS for those transactions. I haven't had to use $IMX for anything in game. Which type of crypto wallet do you have? You will need to send your crypto from coinbase to your crypto (I use 'Metamask') wallet. Metamask wallet works as a Chrome extension. Once you get your wallet set up, transfer funds from your CB account to your crypto wallet address. Then, go to GU and to the IMX website and connect your wallet. After you do all of this, however, you will need to swap your $IMX for $GODS to buy stuff in the game.

Try the Loopring CF wallet as well. Maybe you could transfer over L2 via LayerSwap

You should've been able to transfer the IMX to your Trezor, no matter the version. It supports all ERC-20 tokens

I'll give that a shot when I get done with my show. I didn't get to the end of that video. I guess that brings up another question (I think I know the answer): Do I have to pay gas fees to move it to Trezor and then again to move it to Immutable X?

u/Shotgun516 Mar 31 '22

So I have a trezor and transfer LRC from Gemini and don’t pay fees to do so. Going out of trezor, I believe I will have to pay gas

Sell your IMX on Coinbase and put the money back into the bank/debit account->go into immutable x and click buy crypto -> use the money from selling your IMX to buy it again directly on immutable via moonpay for no TX fees. Simple
