Good day Steemians,
One of the blockchain projects in the Graphene ecosystem that I've been interested in since the early days of Bitshares is the MUSE blockchain. Their team has been in stealth mode for a few years but I speculate that they have been working on business development during that time and are nearing the beta launch of their rebooted chain.
I've been accumulating some OPEN.MUSE tokens using the Bitshares decentralized exchange. This lead me down the path to asking how I can retrieve actual MUSE for my OPEN.MUSE. I want to do this as I've heard down the grapevine that they will be snapshotting MUSE balances and releasing a new, updated chain. So today, I will walk you through how to do this process.
Acquire OPEN.MUSE
This part is pretty easy if you're familiar with Bitshares. You can find OPEN.MUSE / BTS and OPEN.MUSE / bitUSD trading pairs using any bitshares wallet, such as Openledger:
If you're using the Bitshares light desktop wallet, you may need to find the OPEN.MUSE market under "FIND MARKETS" or Settings > Explore > Assets > User issued assets.
Convert OPEN.MUSE to MUSE
You can convert your OPEN.MUSE to MUSE by using the "simple" view on OpenLedger. For the time being, it is probably best to keep OPEN.MUSE unless you are running your own MUSE node, as there will be a new faucet and API node in the future that will assist in account creation. I am in the process of syncing my own MUSE chain but it has been problematic due to space constraints and syncing errors. There's also a light wallet download available here... but the faucet is currently under maintenance.
Clicking the "Withdraw" link on the MUSE line item as seen below will allow you to swap your OPEN.MUSE to MUSE.
The following modal will appear which will allow you to specify the amount of MUSE to withdraw.
