I created the Keystore wallet and referring to videos I was able to deposit in this pool. The transfers using wleo.io and the arbitrum faucet worked well. I made 4-5 progressively larger amounts like you suggested and the transactions all worked without a hitch.
As an added plus, I can check on my investment through the dashboard.
I think this maya blockchain looks like a good place and the people seem knowledgeable. It's great that you and nifty are well versed in this ecosystem, I am experimenting with Thorlend also, so this is really exciting.
