I’d be interested in knowing who “told” you that, because the post itself doesn’t persuade me.
But if someone from the team explicitly told you that there will be a network that will not become Alpha2 before Alpha2 is released, I’d like to know because that is contrary to what I’ve seen the mission to be.
Alpha2 is no vaults from home so what is there to test? They added the invitation token system so that the network::full Alpha1 errors won’t happen again.
From the conversations and everything released lately, I don’t see anything in the way of Alpha2 tomorrow, or next Thurs.
Maybe it’s just my enthusiasm talking but also technically I don’t see anything preventing it. So many great releases from the team recently, not to be overlooked.
What would there be to test? MD? Hasn’t that passed with the mock-routing builds?
The invitation system makes failures of the last previous Alpha impossible already
The only thing this dev-focused, MaidSafe-hosted Alpha requires is the APIs, tutorial apps, auth browser and docs, all of which have seen huge releases recently
Not sure why people would be thinking alpha 2 is due… I was thinking another test net and a good few weeks yet before alpha 2.
Tbh, when I saw the price action i just thought it was a steady climb to 0.0002, followed by triggered buy orders once it looked like it may be breached. Classic resistance/support trading in other words.
lol. the trollbox has been removed indefinitely. Just the day when we could actually pump MAID a little bit ;(
Somehow it is good. I may be able to work again now, maybe.
Only in crypto are 50% gains in 2 days greeted with dispondency. When this bubble does pop, a lot of people will get a rude awakening.
What we are witnessing in altcoins now is unprecedented. It is even more nuts than the Bitcoin booms of the past, IMO. At least then, there was a clear new guy in town getting money thrown at him. Now, you can raise millions in hours, with a sharp website and a hype filled white paper. This is not normal.
I am very grateful and feel hugely lucky to be a part of this community and a witness to the birth of the safe net. It has already rewarded me handsomely and it feels like just the start of the journey.
dot com boom bust where big money was looking for the next big thing to put money into and everyone it seemed from small to large investors bought into the dot com companies and we know what happened then. But now a decade or two later the companies that survived are worth more than all the money that went into the dot com boom. So a lot of people lost a lot of money back then and the market grew out of the ashes.
Are we seeing similar here? Dunno
The boom in MAID as far as I could see was either a whale and fomo or someone decided they needed to get their MAID holdings increased earlier than later.
And the price has been dropping since that press release. related? Dunno
I suspect that the latest pump was related to FUD that stated falsely that Alpha 2 would be released tomorrow. I expect that by tomorrow, MAID will be trading back at 1600 or so (or will overshoot lower to the downside based upon the upside speculation and then bounce back to its normal trading range of 1600-1900).
Agree with your thoughts as I also think it will be below 19000 very soon and most likely around dev update time. Not sure of the 16000 too soon though.
EDIT: hour later and its already below 18500 so my guess is lower again by dev update. In other words back to the average of the last 4 weeks.
There have been a few folks doing a lot of DD in here recently. It takes time for investors to take a close look and work out what is legit and where they should be parking their money. I’ve thought to myself a couple of times that people asking intelligent questions are probably not the kind of small fry cryptophiles we’re used to.
It looks to me like a lot of smart money has been working its way through the most obvious projects. MAID isn’t at the top of anyone’s list because it is still pre launch, but you can bet folks will get there eventually.
I don’t think we’ll see any significant drops from this 18-19k sats area now and this dip won’t last. In fact I’ll bet we’ll be back over 24k sats by Wednesday.
