“Our directive is to list every compliant asset possible. Streamlining the listing process is step one.”
Any asset issuer can apply, Coinbase said. Applicants then go through the process and either get approved or denied.

Very interesting! I’ll move Coinbase up the priority app-pre-population list

I wonder if they charge listing fees, I would assume not. It seems a shady business practice they would avoid.
The question is what is a compliant asset?
Best hope we have right now!

It would be great if listing fees aren’t required, but I won’t hold my breath on it. Listing fees are a relic of how stock exchanges handle these things.
If you’re a startup that’s eyeing an IPO, you plan and budget for this when you’re fundraising. Likewise, most crypto projects did so as well when they were ICO-ing.
As MaidSafe ICO-ed before ICOs were a thing, it’s understandable that this was not planned for back in 2014. At that time, who would have imagined what crypto exchanges would become? However, the crypto market has “matured”, requiring projects evolve to best navigate the present environment.

Initially there will be no application fee. Depending on the volume of submissions, we reserve the right to impose an application fee in the future to defray the legal and operational costs associated with evaluating and listing new assets. At our discretion, we may choose to list some assets on the basis of our own evaluation, even in the absence of an application. In other cases, we will attempt to give quick, specific reasons for the approval or rejection of particular assets.

Ouch someone didn’t like this week’s update.
That seems to be the case. If the shared testnet doesn’t launch next week, I think there will be an even more significant nosedive.
Since it’s a testnet, it’s probably acceptable to launch it even if there are a few warts…

Like I mentioned the other week, check out other coins in the top 20 and how they are doing against bitcoin. It isn’t just MAID getting a kicking vs BTC.
Even some of the new boom darlings, such as BAND who Lark keeps talking about have been in a nose dive in BTC value since August. It has lost 5x against BTC since then!
It would be great to see the test net and it is frustrating that it feels like it has been just around the corner for weeks now. We have to trust the team though and there are lots of commits going in and releases being built. Progress is being made and it feels like we are inching closer.

Sigh… the recent price action is so depressing. I kind of would like to exchange some leftover mish mash of shitcoins and even BTC to MAID with these prices. But the price of those coins in FIAT is too much. I would need to pay the capital gain tax, and that loss coupled with the risks related to this project feels just too much to bear.
I’m happy though that I made that kind of swaps back in spring 2020, when the FIAT prices were much lower, even though the crypto / MAID deal was maybe worse.
Yes, I’m highly overinvested in crypto, and inside that overinvestment carrying too heavy bags of MAID, 55% of my portfolio. Maybe it’s best just not to even think of buying, even at these prices.
As part of market research en route to defining marketing strategy, I am conducting a competitive review of projects that are most relevant to the spaces in which Safe will (initially) compete (screenshot below of some of the WIP findings filtered to only projects active in 2017/18 bull cycle). It is true that MAID is outperforming some of these projects that existed in the last bull run; however, MAID did not reach anything near the heights that these projects reached at ATH in terms of market cap.
As they say, DYOR + never invest more than you can afford to lose + diversify to hedge against risk. For me, I did my research and established my positions. Unless a fundamental insight about this project were to indicate otherwise, I will hold my position.

Its a us based exchange is it not?
For this very reason I doubt it will list us.
Every other exchange there dropped us for regulatory reasons, and nothing has changed, we still have no product.
It would be nice, but I can’t see it, for now anyway.
Well Polo I think was not for a legit reason and Bittrex are clearly more aggressive at delisting than others, they delisted dash and zcash both of which are on coinbase.
But yes certainly not without doubts myself.

Thanks for table. It does show the situation in a better light, imo. Consider that anyone who bought around the ATH of those coins has done better holding MAID. Only ETH has really taken the fight to BTC of the old guard (and is worthy too).
The fall from peeks in some of those others must be hard to take. Given MAID is the only one of those on the verge of delivering something that could redefine the space, that also gives me comfort.
In the last boom, BTC went up first. A couple of months later, alts started to catch up and then accelerated past to greater relative gains. I suspect a similar theme may unfold again, with altcoin season starting when BTC gains start looking a little too ripe.
Likewise, I bought early in ICO and have held since. To my error, I switched a substantial BTC position to MAID at a bad time and may never recover that potential difference. On a lighter note, I bought into BTC and ETH in my pension fund a year ago and that has been an uplifting experience.
We all have high hopes for MAID. I think we know the world needs this tech and maidsafe are leading the way in delivering it. We can’t ask for more than their best efforts and the core tech seems tantalisingly close. Let’s support the team in getting there for the greater good and hope we all make a bit of cash in the process - I’m going to need it to fund my safe app dev plans!

It’s like it’s fated for this investment (MAID) to only begin its true run after Bitcoin hits its all time high of all time (or pretty high up there). I can see that as a good thing, as the spotlight will be taken away from Safe to then be able to grow organically (and the very essence of Safe Network being organic is that of quick adoption because of it being an entirely new protocol unleashed on the world), not in a contrived/controlled/beaten-back way. Anyway, like I say often, most of last year was exciting for PARSEC, and this year is exciting both for the replacement of PARSEC with all the new components and for crypto in general—once again setting in stone/hinting at that MAID will be following everything else by the end of this year or earlier by said organic growth, and overtaking almost every possible project.
