Clarity Post: for Token Holders, Shareholders and Network Supporters

his naughty bits in a humiliating fashion

Think Epstein/Mossad levels of kompromat and try harder.

Not bad for a first attempt though :clap:

… I honestly think the trust in this project is beyond what would be justified based on historic results…

But that doesn’t mean it won’t succeed and doesn’t mean that path is wrong… Because you probably refer to comments/behaviour on the bttf issue I guess I won’t comment on this at all :innocent:

Unfortunately most of what we were promised is not coming true. We are now receiving tokens, shares in the company will no longer exist.

Are you showing doubts after 10 years just as the project is about to pay off? :smiley:

10 years is a long time to wait though. Nobody told us at the beginning about this long wait.

This project is not a cult. Cults do not allow any free-thinking, doubt or dissension.

Correct grammar is VERY important - to ensure clarity.

Hi Dimitar - sorry to be boring but I would greatly appreciate clarity:…
Will we BTTF-SPV-MaidSafe shareholders be offered tokens to withdraw from BTTF into our own possession at TGE (The Great Event) in a few weeks? …
Sadly, BTTF are not answering the question when I put it to them on their website, nor when emailing their “Support”…
Thank-you for your time and concern - greatly appreciated.

Is the internet about to be disrupted by a little-known tech company from Ayr?

Kevin O’Sullivan, January 7, 2025 4 min read
After 18 years of development a tech company based in Ayr is about to disrupt the internet by finally launching its ‘quantum secure fully autonomous network’.

Maidsafe, founded by David Irvine in 2006, is set to unveil its long-awaited vision of the future at the end of this month, as details emerged today of its Autonomi platform.

Following months of testing the new network is now ready to be shared with web users around the world, in the hope that they will choose a platform where their data is never hosted by a corporate server.

Instead, the decentralised network is run by millions of everyday devices, to host quantum secure, encrypted data permanently, protecting privacy and user control.

When you use the network to store some data it is split into ‘chunks’. Each chunk is securely encrypted with a set of credentials that are only known by the creator— who has the keys to unlock the data and reassemble it into information again.

These credentials never touch the internet.

Data ‘chunks’ are then sent to the network, duplicated several times for extra security, and dispersed evenly and randomly across the globe, along with a map of where they are and how to reassemble them. Once again this is securely encrypted and only accessible to the holder of the keys.

The encrypted data chunks are held by a multitude of everyday devices, called nodes, each offering a small portion of their spare, under-utilised capacity, to securely hold a small collection of encrypted data chunks, serving them back to their owner when asked.

The internet, with its scroll, click or voice command functionality has collected a vast amount of information, with users giving access to device data, sensory data, interaction data, personal data, online activity data, communication data, network and device data, behavioural data … and transactional data, to further improve their experience.

Irvine argues that while the increasing amount of connectivity, accessibility and data history is beneficial, that there is also a downside to the intuitive, convenient and information rich world that we live in. As AI becomes more integrated into our daily lives, there is an increasing risk of harm. MaidSafe’s deployment of the SAFE Network, now known as ‘Autonomi’, seeks to address that.

MaidSafe CEO, Sarah Buxton, said: “Losing our personal and private data to AI, may also lead to the reduction and removal of our freedoms. Not just through (even ‘well meaning’) regulations and censorship, but through a genuinely dystopian ability for a select few to manipulate, coerce and create a reality that’s derived from application owners and AI design.”

The Autonomi Network is designed with AI and Robotics in mind. A decentralised and highly distributed infrastructure that removes hosting and subscription costs for application developers – and enables users to benefit from a level of privacy previously associated with hosting files locally on a PC at home.

“With controlled AI, it’s no longer shopping that is the worry, it’s potentially civilisation wide control, and we won’t even know it’s happening,” he says. “It’s no longer a trivial thing we can sell for convenience, this is a threat to a species like none seen before.”

Eighteen years of development has now culminated in the network being publicly released later this month, with developer programs and hosting incentives, for those running nodes, also going live.

When asked how a network like Autonomi compares with edge computing, Buxton said: “While ‘edge computing’ plays a role in trying to distribute computational resources, to improve latency and bandwidth, it doesn’t inherently solve our data privacy issues.

“If data needs to move between nodes or to the cloud for further utility then it still risks the potential of exposure and interception. Edge compute also, while being closer to the data source, doesn’t guarantee where or how data is ultimately stored – that’s especially worrisome if third parties are involved”.

The release of Autonomi will bring with it access to a decentralised internet layer, an infrastructure that can be run by millions of commodity devices.

The network will not impose any licenses, subscriptions or ongoing hosting fees, and the only cost associated with storing data on Autonomi will be a one-time payment, received by those hosting data through the running of a node.

Once live, Irvine’s MaidSafe will no longer have ownership or control over the network; any IP as well as the custodial duty of network maintenance and improvements will be transferred to the non-profit Swiss entity, known as ‘The Autonomi Foundation’.

Hi—in regards to the TGE, can you please give clarity on whether holding MAID in multiple wallets (on Omni) is fine, or is it better to transfer them into a single wallet? Is there any practical difference in the process in terms of the claim from the user side if you do hold multiple wallets? To simplify accounting processes when it is time to sell, I’d rather both keep them seperate and have also receive them separately. I really think clarification of this process ahead of the TGE (and potential snapshot) would be beneficial for token holders.

Additionally, will there be any ‘burn’ function via the team made available? And/or will the old tokens be sent to a centralised address (or is it like an airdrop and the original remain untouched?). I ask this because it may also affect the way in which the old tokens are accounted for—in an ideal world the value of these should go to zero (or a transactional event should happen—ie we send old tokens to Maidsafe, we receive new tokens from Maidsafe) otherwise there is this danger that the old tokens remain trading randomly at some arbitrary figure on the old chains—not great for asset disposal from the tax department’s point of view imo.

To the best of our knowledge it makes no difference to the process having multiple or singular addresses holding OMNI MAID. There are thousands of BTC addresses with MAID (or have had MAID) and the process has to account for that.

The only benefit to you is making it easier to handle things if all in one address. The Cons is you pay transaction fees to do that and doing similar amount of work upfront rather than potentially doing it after TGE.

Also with multiple addresses holding MAID you can pick and choose when you exchange a particular amount and maybe keep some in MAID till the native token is released.

In my opinion the increased opportunity exceeds the chance there is a difference in effort over one address or multiple.

We will only be told that when they announce it. Unfortunately that question will not be answered until then. I too would like to know and have asked multiple times.

But the stated position has been they would prefer to be doing snapshot for OMNI tokens and some process to claim the equivalent of ANT with some sort of airdrop. Until its announced we will not know.
