I don’t think this will work because MaidSafe made certain offers outside of BTTF to spur interest in the offering. These “bonuses” were in the form of SafeCoins (post-launch) promised for different levels of investment in the SPV. There is a long topic on this from last year:
There was also an option given to exchange all shares of BTTF for Safecoins at launch, if the purchaser of BTTF shares elected to do so. It is my belief that most BTTF investors, at this point, will choose that option.
In the post above, David said he had assigned Andrew to work on sorting through this quagmire and he assured us whatever was promised during the special promotion would be honored. I don’t know if proper documentation was kept of these proceedings but if they weren’t it could turn into quite a hornet’s nest.
the one with Safecoin on them obviously … but I’m okay with ANT too I am just not 100% sure it’s a good idea to put a txt file with private key on the stick … somewhat that feels strange … (poor soul that is chosen to put stuff on the sticks if you really do this @Bux )
hmmmhmmmm - in any case you can never have enough usb sticks … maybe sending 1 with the original Safecoin Brand on it and 1 with the new Autonomi brand on it would be safest to avoid any legal issues
(or maybe the the Scottish trick now would be to print 1 brand on each side )
There was a time USBs were commonly used to hold crypto. But as of 2024 this is not smart or safe. There are logistic concerns from sourcing the hardware to making sure its shipped to you safely.
Its important that promises are kept, and we right any wrongs. I have brought this to the team with a few potential solutions to make this right.
actually I don’t think the usb stick is the most important thing but I guess bnktothefuture investors will really appreciate getting usb sticks … because they’re very useful and if you print something on them that makes them feel to be a part of making this dream to come true … then people will always be happy/proud of themselves when seeing that usb stick which is kind of cool
I like to do a lot of launchpad raises, and the way most of them work is you get a % at TGE, then a few month waiting period called a “cliff”. Then linear payments until 100% allocation is paid. This allows the supply to more slowly be injected then just dumping a large chunk or all of the supply at once.
Yes - BTTF seem to be doing all they can to block access to our assets. Oversight by Bix will help them (BTTF) to show a little respect for their investors. Perhaps David can help too as he is the one who instigated the raising of funds through BTTF when we invested in 2016
I seem to remember that the BTTF shares were sold under the premise that Maid safe the company would eventually become a producer of apps on the network. You could exchange your shares for safe tokens or remain as a share holder and benefit from the growth of Maidsafe as a company. It sounds like Autonomi labs will now become Maidsafe along with yet another round of fund raising. Seems like a bait and switch to me.
