No, the investors would be paid from MaidSafe’s share so it will not cut further into farmers profits. Please also bear in mind that the pods will start to help maintaining and improving the core code and start to compete with MaidSafe for that 5%. [quote=“Blindsite2k, post:23, topic:6816”]
Also from my understanding isn’t SAFE supposed to be a neutral network and not specific to the Maidsafe company? So it’s one thing to sell off profits owned by Maidsafe but it’s another to sell off profits from the entire network because from what I understand the intention is that Maidsafe will be seperate and not own the SAFE network itself.

Yes, MaidSafe the company is different from the network, SAFE is not owned by anyone. As per my answer above any equity investment would be paid from MaidSafe’s share and would not be taken from the network. I hope this makes sense.
