You can sell Maidsafe at anytime. That is good for you.
Youāve got it so we canāt leave. Iām blown away you canāt see this! Wow. David. Take a step back and think about it. If I had a say listings would be near the top. But you have total control and you make it clear.
How do I do this Plato?
There are HitBTC and bittrex. You can sell it. Just do it.

As stated in my other comment, if maid goes to zero Iām good. I would love for this to succeed for the network and the financial gain but similar to you, I am fine financially.
I would like to say this though before I stop and retire for the day as you have been generous with your timeā¦right now itās just a couple of us from the US market kind of chirping about exchanges. If for some reason bittrex de-lists tomorrow, the sense of calm you see from the rest of the people who are commenting who are not from the US, wonāt be quite as stoic in their evaluation. I look forward to the projects launch. Enjoy your day.

Feelings are raw on both sides. Only one side has the power to change things.

Finally people start attacking team now.
Why community leader class start marketing ? And let it go to affect dev team? I dont understand.

Iām willing to take all your maid of your hand at 700 satoshi each, no exchanges needed. We can have a trusted 3rd person to get it done.

Nobody said you are out to hurt folk. No. Iāve never once thought this.
You are restricting market freedom by relying on an exchange that does not support the US by choosing not to add exchanges. Youāve now made it clear that the project also hangs on this single exchange. Iād think it would be vital to have backups but what do I know. Saying Iām too busy but wonāt bring on help for this is a choice. Itās not my choice.
US IS a big market, Not as big - or anywhere near as important as it thinks it is. Better get used to the fact that you are no longer as important as you once were and you need to modify your behaviour and expectations just cos you are a US citizen.
Take a look at how badly the English/UK have failed at this and see what could become of you unless you learn a little humility.
The world will NOT stop just cause you stamp your feet.
US are very good at handing out sanctions to other countries and people. Now you know how they feel like because YOUR government sanctioned YOU.
Donāt whine here , all you do is piss of those who cannot help you.

Pressing for answers and solutions is not attacking.

Please let team focus only development.
Marketing ? Research? Price talking ? All things are acceptable with community members.
But I strongly recommend not to push dev team. We invest huge money into maidsafe. So I will fight everything to hinder teamās development. Because it is the only way to success.
If this project is based on blockchain? Marketing and business model are top priority. But Maidsafe is totally different field. The only thing in common with the blockchain is that tokens are issued.

This is high level stupidity. The EU has double the population and still does not have the GDP of the US. Things may very well change in time but for now the market matters and in a very real way.

This is unfortunately 100% true. We donāt know it would and because of that it could well be a waste of time and money. A lot of people buy and hold this project but I do t think many trade it and Iām not so sure anyone that might be whales would be willing to dump and pump against themselves or know how to do so either. This project gets people hooked with vision and approach (engineering, team, etc).
I am equally frustrated by all of this but I think David is right on this in the end. If we can get this going and just decide to subvert the current system and tread our own path then we have a higher likelihood of success.
I get having money tied up and missing out on whatās going on around this project too. People have bills and families and donāt want to miss out when they were prescient enough to be in this arena in the first place but feel like their wheels are just spinning. Lack of options is a lack of freedom but if our choice is infighting or self sabotage or abandonment over solidarity and follow through then we (with our limited options here) are probably choosing the wrong one. Iām on board with sticking it out. I canāt say I havenāt been impressed with the progress since scaling down the team and narrowing the focus. It has been hugely beneficial and sped development and efficiency of the project up drastically.

More to life than GDP pal. Especially when you piss so much of it away on military and expensive, inefficient healthcare.
How much of your vaunted huge GDP is because of this kind of thing? āPeople turn off their power because they canāt afford it,ā Texas woman slapped with $11,000 electricity bill tells RT ā RT USA News
But is OK , your markets are āfreeā. No Reds under your beds - itāl be fineā¦
Anyway - we are swinging well -off-topic here.
I contend you started it by whining āBut Iām an American!! Do things to suit ME,ME,MEā āProvide me with an exchange so I can trade my coins while disobeying the laws of my own countryā.
I was thinking the same thing. Its a massive shame.
ā¦ boom wise, there are many people who didnāt believe me when I talked about bitcoin, now the price is touching ā¬50,000 Iām being asked for any new projects. People are interested in maidsafe, they are comming.

I donāt think anyone has implied or insinuated this. The issue is that some people feel trapped (i.e. canāt sell) or excluded (i.e. canāt buy). Itās hard to believe the stated reasons why the simple solutionālisting on at least 1-2 reputable exchangesāis not achievable because itās hard to understand why just about every other project can do it, but this one cannot.
Telling people to just sell and move on (knowing fully well that they canāt do that) isnāt a suitable answer. If, for example, MaidSafe effectively lists on an exchange like Bitfinex or Kraken in the near future, then no one can complain about this issue anymore.
Seeing as there are no timelines to the next testnet or beta, it honestly makes no realizable difference if they are released a week or a month later than they hypothetically would have been because no ones knows when they would ever be released anyway. At least getting listed is a more readily attainable win the community could celebrate.
Iād like to think that David is earnest about applying to list on Bitfinex and Kraken in the near term. Emotions are high right now, but hopefully cooler heads and reason will prevail.
