1. How to send MAID to a hardware wallet
The only hardware wallet that allows you to work directly with MAID to date is Trezor.
Important! if you have a Ledger you can also send MAID to it but you will then need to move the private keys outside to be able to send MAID from the Ledger to an external address.
If you have a Trezor, simply copy the bitcoin address from “Receive Bitcoin (BTC)” tab and send the MAID from an exchange to that address. Bitcoin and MAID use the same address!
Important! do NOT use the “Legacy account” (address starts with “1” - in other words the non segwit addresses) in http://wallet.trezor.io to later be able to send MAID using https://trezor.github.io/omni-trezor/
I am deciding whether to move my old funds stored on paper wallets into my Trezor T and I am gaining the knowledge to not do anything stupid. Your advice is NOT to use legacy addresses. When reading some non-trezor workflow from @mav , I am getting completely different advice. Maybe some of you two can elaborate?
There will be a list of derived addresses - keep a note of the first address, the first 10 characters should be enough to ensure you can regenerate the address list correctly. This address should start with a 1. Do not use BIP49 or BIP84 or any derivation scheme that does not have addresses starting with a 1. This is because the omni protocol (which MaidSafeCoin uses) works best with ‘old-style’ bitcoin addresses starting with a 1.
