In the hope of resolving the issue which seems to have become un constructive.
My take on the situation is MaidSafe didn’t know the team from NVO prior to the posting of the white paper on the forum a few weeks back. We do know Alex Alexandrov well having spent a lot of time with him in Asia and he has visited us in Troon a couple of times. Both @dirvine and I have a lot of respect for Alex, both in terms of his knowledge of the space and what he has built at Coinpayments, and as you are aware Alex has worked with some of the team at NVO previously. He thinks highly of the individuals involved and I believe has endorsed the project.
MaidSafe are supporters of the project and want it to succeed, but we have not endorsed it in an official capacity and the website should be changed to reflect this, maybe adding in David’s quote from here. I personally hope the relationship will grow as we get to know the team at NVO better.
