Sorry @Dimitar you maybe got the wrong idea from me, but on launch the network should be free to grow by many contributors. I hope so anyway. MaidSafe as a non profit will do much more core work, but I really hope other groups and individuals do as well. There is a lot like mobile nodes, native currency, better API support and a ton more to be done.
I hope to help out as I do but I will also help any other org doing that. But it’s only after investors and shareholders and token holders are paid out. So paid out means they hold network tokens and they can sell them or keep them.
I am super keen on the next steps. For me it will allow me to do some crazy things I have been wanting to do for a while, but without investors and shareholders to worry about. I hope to have done them proud and @Bux and the team are making sure of that. But my next steps I want to be far far away from money and shareholders as I intend to really get crazy.
For instance I want to
- Get rid of hospitals (as I have previously said, cure all disease and have only trauma centres for physical damage)
- Have robots communicate securely and learn globally, but without bias or ownership
- Really accelerate neuromorphic hardware and software (neuroevolution)
- much much more
I would love to get back to a forum experience where many folk chip in and the only focus is build and no talk of ownership/profit or the like, not that I dislike that, but I would love a pure 100% focus o development and improvements for humanity. People can build for profit with all that of course and I welcome that, but I would want a forum of pure 100% builders and supporters with no financial motivation included.
So while I will have a big focus on the core network I am super keen on what we can do with it now. I totally believe that using this in all ways will make it stronger and I fully support open development and removing all dependence on any single org moving forward.
We built this and folk supported it and they need huge thanks and solid returns on their cash, staff included, but then the whole thing should open up and flourish away form the constraints of trying to please everyone and into a much more pure builder environment that people can and should commercially exploit of course. Personally though I want to see the token value be huge and for me and others to be financially independent and not worry about money and then just build
