I bought some maidsafe way back during the IPO and haven't done anything, but I did find my BTC address on the IPO spreadsheet way back on day 1.  Is the only way to get them to import the private key to the BTC address I used to buy them into Omniwallet?

I don't like the idea of ever touching my private key so I guess I would have to send all my BTC to a newly created wallet before doing this?

I'm in the same boat.  I haven't touched the BTC wallet I used for the IPO...and I am skeptical of Omni (only because I don't really like online wallets).  Was going to do Masterchest but then they stopped supporting it.

At this point, I figure I'll just wait for the Safe Network to go live and the exchange for Safecoin.  I'm not terribly worried about using the above since I have been known to leave coins on exchanges but would rather that I have somewhere on my computer for them to end up on. 

So yeah...if you want to move them then creating a whole new wallet for your BTC is not a bad idea.  As for moving the Maidsafe, I have no reason to think that Omni/Polo/Masterchest are unsafe...just that I have no need to want to move my Maid out of what is likely safe enough for now.
