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!

STOPThis 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.
