@neo

I do not remember Maidsafe ever supporting NVO

You are correct. There was no official recognition as a partner but if you dig into the thread you will see a pretty clear picture take shape of support. Here is just an example. If you really care dig into that 1,000 + thread. Its painful. As painful as watching some of the threads today.

@dirvine

We don’t want to be seen endorsing projects at the moment, but we can support them if possible. This one is a really important and needed element of the network and crypto space though. I don’t want to promote projects too much but do want to say “hey that’s brilliant, good luck”. So we need to be careful. Coinpayments though is a group we know and have worked with and I would consider them partners, but we have no formal relationship there either, but I work with and trust those guys.

And this is a very different tone than Davids today and something I noted was good news back then. But today a different story.

@dirvine

All in all we need to formalise the partnership scheme and set out some ground rules, that will need to include regular meetings and updates on the relationships, why they exist and what are the objectives. We will look into this now and try to make the partner scheme more transparent and obvious. We should have pages on our site for each partner we work with and identify the people responsible in each team for the relationship. Then there is a focal point to discuss possible deals with.

I see overtures to support.

@dirvine

So bottom line, this is new and we will pursue it and clean it all up. In terms of this project I feel we do support the ethos and objectives and will need to speak with them a bit more and see where it goes, after their crowd funding round though

Im happy with the outcome here in this thread. Regardless of what Maidsafe thinks is appropriate, they need to be transparent.
