Has somebody already invested/backed with altcoins?
Says “accepting altcoins” but it seems to be a not working feature.
Simon Dixon told that this was now working from yesterday, so investors can pay with alts and they shape shift into BTC. When did you try?

Hey Nick,
Will they shapeshift it to btc as soon as they receive it ? or will they do it if the minimum is made ?
Cause would be nice to get altcoins back if it didnt succeed.

I’m trying to get some people I know at The Bitcoin Podcast interested in Maidsafe. Maybe to set up an interview… They seem to think that Synereo are doing the same type of project. Can anyone tell me the differences between the two projects?
Cheers

Hey!
I would imagine it would be done as they receive it as they would need to log your investment, but let me double check to make sure. I’ll come back to you shortly.
I’m sure someone with a lot more knowledge than me will chime in.
I think Synereo is basically an advanced blockchain with a specific set of built in functions / features, while the Safe Network is a distributed internet-like platform that can host any number of innovative applications on top of it. I don’t think you can publish a web site or web app on Synereo, but you could on the Safe network.
In terms of stage of development, the Safe network has a running Alpha that proves the concept, whereas Synereo still has a lot to prove to demonstrate that their technology will work as intended.
It seems like Synereo will compete closely with Ethereum, who are planning to implement sharding, proof of stake, and distributed storage, but they already have a running network, so I don’t know what advantage Synereo would have over Ethereum.
I hope others add more detail / correct me if I’m wrong, but hopefully that highlights some differences.

Too bad it isnt possible to just invest with maidsafe and if not succeed we get our maidsafe back.
Also its a great way for Maidsafe foundation to collect maidsafe (cause dollar and maidsafe would be a good portofolio for the future). But ofcourse that would be hard to monitor etc.
Maidsafe dev’s come on give a great update so the price of maidsafe rocket so i can buy some equity its just to painfull to sell maid at 13,8k for me.
Feedback from BnkToTheFuture: The shape shift occurs as soon as the investment is received and if the minimum is not met the investor will get BTC back. The platform informs the user of this prior to them pulling the trigger.

Cracking news, must be a relief (if that’s the right word, but maybe you knew all along!) that you’re virtually certain to reach the min now.

Well that is more like it!!!
What a relief. I was getting worried about this meaning more delays if another funding effort was required. The last thing we need now is more distractions.
Hallelujah! There’s no way we’ll fail to make it now.
I’ll be in a good mood all week, there’s every possibility of it even making the £2M now.
/apologies for ever doubting you
