Yeah r/cryptocurrency and others have become really strict about vote brigading. Esp given MaidSafe’s well-earned reputation for being humble + acting w/ integrity, I’d be really careful not to cross any lines on Reddit.

Also, for some of the late-comers to crypto. A case study in history.
Did anybody else buy in when it was at like 4 cents a piece?

I bought at the pre-sale. 2 cents. Still hodling and not planning to touch it. Probably leave it for my kids.
Edit: learnt the lesson with ETH, which I also bought at the pre-sale (40 cents), but sold way too early.

I wasn’t smart enough to diversify when it first came out.
Bought the majority of mine for less than 2 cents or something.
Averaged my trades at appx. 5500 (±300) satoshi mark in 2014 Nov. or Dec.
…
edit: lol I should’ve packed up and gone home until now, with this trade:
… MAID/BTC | Sell | 25000 satoshi | 165153 MAID | 41.20570722 BTC | 2016-03-07.
But I quickly bought back my MAID—since the above sell was just a joke to me, because… I knew MAID would ultimately deliver, just didn’t know now would be the time!

Trying to load up more maid but poloniex have now frozen my account without warning. Can we please get on some better exchanges? 
Trying cryptopia now
Cryptopia has bad rep but I actually really like it. It’s a good non-Dex where you can get in early. Having said this Maid deserves to be on Binance etc. (I hope we don’t go back to Bittrex it actually tries it’s hardest to lose customers).
Cryptopia works for me, so far. I’am done with Poloniex (for now). I’ve made a mistake and send some Maid to my Poloniex BTC address. Naive as I was I thought that transferring those to my Poloniex Maid address should be no problem for Poloniex. They have all the private keys, so yeah it’s kind of some work for them but it can be done. So I’ve opened a ticket (offering a service fee) and after 3 months! I’ve got an answer that it’s not possible because it’s “extremely complicated and involves significant cost, time, and risk”.
So if Poloniex works it’s nice but when it comes to support it’s a nightmare. I had also some issues at Cryptopia but could resolve them in a 2 week (It’s a lot time in crypto but compared to Poloniex better) frame. I do not know if Cryptopia would resolve this but I would have know earlier and that’s something.
Should maid go crazy 
I’ll definitely reopen my ticket at Poloniex and ask them to escalate.
Can we just not get rid of those exchanges and replace them with some contracts :).

HitBtc still works. Bought yesterday some. Yes high withdrawal fee, so buy big amounts and be patient. The good thing, no account verification and no limits. But yes, we need something better.
Poloniex works like expected bought some Maidsafecoins on thursday, had no problems there.

@Msafe just make sure you do not deposit or withdraw Ethereum or ERC20 tokens. That is a murder. I also had a problem with Dash once.
Although reading their reddit, it seems Cryptopia got their act together, somewhat.

From that link:
“May 9: JAMS DApp is released on the MaidSafe network. JAMS is a decentralized music player on The SAFE Network that allows users to upload their personal music library and stream or download your jams from any device, anywhere, anytime.”
Blimey, JAMS is famous! Lol 
only kidding but that is actually kinda cool. The date is way off but whatever.

MAID your mark on the history man.

Yeah I know. Hindsight has a way of showing up all those ‘experts’ as the BS artists they really are. That doesn’t generally bother them or their followers too much however. Success is always just around the corner.

I stopped trading long time ago, but a friend of mine is in al kinds of paid chats, emails and subscriptions for getting signals. Maid is mentioned lots of time the last weeks/days.

Exact same situation lol. I even put extra Bitcoin into the Bitcoin address that I accidentally dropped off my MAID at, as a sort of tongue in cheek move for how “risky” and “extremely complicated” (as if having an exchange at all isn’t complicated) it is, so that they could use that for the inevitable mining fee… …so simple a child could do it.
I think they need to realize that there will be many people like this, and thus have the best possible template / set up with which to prove the validity of those legitimately suffering from petty mistakes. (When you create the support ticket presently, you can see some of the fields already show a template from the distant past meant for correcting mistaken sends; but apparently they’ve recently decided that the overall effort is ‘extremely complicated,’ etc. etc. So, that current support template is now meaningless.) Said mistakes are the unfortunate result of being in needlessly rushy IRL situations, and thereby you can easily make simple, and ultimately—by the time SAFE changes the Internet/everything—exorbitantly expensive blunders.
Of course if I was truly wise I would be happy with the bunch I already have, especially knowing delivery will be pretty much sent in stone by 2020, if not earlier (especially with the new PARSEC stuff). Dwelling on past despairs is just the paradoxical result of my human nature’s impatience despite simultaneously paired ‘intellectual (and whichever other suitable words)’ patience.
edit: W/R/T impatience I’m trying to convey that somewhere in my being I have an irrational fear of SAFE-Net not taking over the Internet, even though, logically, it’s inevitable. Hence my ‘caring at all whatsoever’ about wanting a tiny fraction back of my overall worth – before full release causes it to not matter, regardless! (Some may be able to perhaps completely erase that irrational fear from themselves, though not me seemingly!)
That said, I hope Poloniex eventually figures out a solution for it. They might not ever, before they become completely irrelevant; but it’s just something to consider that they might eventually replace their currently defeatist support attitudes with optimistic and functionally helpful ones.

The risk is in their key exposure,
A btc deposit address will not have set up a omni interface. And since its all automated to the pull keys out to put into a omni wallet is risky because it bypasses their in place security.
