You can also send them to a “paper wallet”. Use bitaddress.org to generate a BTC address starting with a “1” and then use that address to send your MAID to. Make sure to securely record your private key somewhere safe and out of sight of anyone.
You can use omniwallet.org to send your MAID somewhere if you ever need to before the 1:1 exchange for SNT.
No matter how you store your MAID always make sure there is enough BTC stored at that address so the MAID can be sent.
In case you did not know
- MAID is using the OMNI protocol
- OMNI tokens and BTC are not stored in the wallet
- The wallet only contains the keys for the BTC addresses and can sign a transfer message.
- BTC and OMNI tokens are just numbers on the BTC blockchain (database)
Thus a hardware device is but one of a few ways to store your MAID since any of the methods are just storing your address keys
