Hi everyone,
The team has asked me to gather information on MAID holders (please disregard if you only hold eMAID).
If you hold MAID, especially in a wallet other than an OMNI Wallet, please fill out this Google Form with your wallet type/software name.
This is not the actual claim process for your tokens. We are just trying to make sure we can support everyone holding MAID.
Thank you!
Really?
I have them on Blockchain.com; should I consider them lost? 
No. Assuming you can get the private key, you can add it to Omniwallet… and that might not even be necessary depending on what plans are made.
you can get the private key in blockchain.com
I use the OmniWallet to manage my Omni Protocol-based asset, Maidsafe Coin.
I was a little bit surprised by this request as well, but the form is very simple and doesn’t ask for an any PII
Yeah that was my thought exactly 
You don’t need to provide any personal info to be identified.
You don’t need to put in the amount of maid you have on the wallet 
The blockchain doesn’t state what wallet a person is using to manage their keys.
What is the problem you see with the team asking what wallet software people use to manage their addresses that hold MAID?
My problem, and I’m not the only person thinking this, is with asking people to go to Google and post information that is clearly sensitive to many. We can be confident that Google are hoovering all of this - including identifiers from the visit and not just what is posted on the form. Then using it for all manner of things, and have no qualms sharing it or feeding it into AIs that are insecure and so on.
For a privacy aware project the choices made for convenience are to me shocking. Your question baffles me too. Perhaps you are fine using Google et al, but many of us have been avoiding places like that for years and have been supporting this project because of our despair at how hard it is to maintain a semblance of privacy online these days.
I felt the same when Discord was selected last year.
It may baffle you that I could be so obtuse to not understand what you meant by your one word crutique, but at least my question has been productive as you’ve clarified that the problem your saw is to do with the use of the Google form rather than Autonomi asking the question they did.
Until creating a MetaMask wallet to participate in the node rewards program, I’ve only ever used omniwallet.org. The addresses in my omniwallet.org account have the private keys stored within them. That will surely be supported I hope?
I guess a more private way to have requested this info would have been to set up an anonymous pole on the forum… 
the main question is …
what precisely is this about?! the question asked cannot be the question they want an answer to … the question probably is: “do you have means to sign a message with the private key on which your MAID are stored (or have access to the seed phrase/private key for the bitcoin address)?” but somehow ask what wallet is used instead …
Or an anonymous stick?
Maybe they want views on if they can use KYC or have riots on their hands by the people holding expecting not to give away private information. You can always add that info to the “other”. But then on google forms. LOL privacy on one hand and take it away on the other.
I don’t have any MAID anymore, but I want to comment that I used Electrum to store them, and then online Omniwallet to send them.
