Look at it this way. If the price of maid goes down that means it’s cheaper so you can buy more.

I think the pre-sale of MaidSafeCoin was possibly a mistake. I has resulted in the mainstream focus of this project revolving around greedy returns of investment rather than the potential of a secure private network for mankind.
This in turn has led to insults and inappropriate comments being flung at dev team instead of support and encouragement. I would hate to think that this might end with a half-arsed product just to appease the demands of the money grabbing masses.

There are a few idiots, but most of what I see on this forum is encouragement, excitement & gratitude.
The market also seems pretty suportive, given the price of SafeCoin compared to IPO price.
The funds raised are enabling this to move forward, and many people have some ‘ownership’ of the network, so in my view, it was a great move & far more positive than negative. The few annoying moaners may still have been meaning without any pre-sale!

Ain’t gonna happen. I can’t really say something substantive about the (speed of the) technical delivery process, but I’m sure the time it takes so far is thoroughly used for testing and finetuning. In the Dev updates it all feels and smells quality, quality, quality above delivering under pressure.
Further inspiration for me came a few weeks ago from this tweet of David Irvine. I’ve kept a screenshot on my mobile ever since.

had they not done the ICO they would not have had money to continue operations in the form the organization had and the developers (or at least some of them) would likely be working on other projects to put bread on the table…
wonder what the quality of a non-existant product would have been.

I know, it was more the principle of disrespectful greed that I was getting at. The lack of integrity of some people.

well in any case i hope safecoin is operating before July-ish as that is when BTC is probably going to slow to a crawl (I don’t believe the hype that it will magically go to $800 just to support Chinese miner’s costs…)
that will be an opportunity for other coins to take on some workload.
This made me lose it so hard. There is literally coffee everywhere. I spit coffee everywhere.

Lol IDK about all that. That would mean a market cap of right under 3 billion USD. I doubt all that $$$ could flow into it so quickly. But I do share enthusiasm!!

This is interesting and would be brilliant for many of us, but what exactly are you basing this on?
Soon soon but not tomorrow, so no raised hopes this week, will let you know more but crust/routing locked now vaults being tested and checked right now.

Still great news though, especially if we combine it with this one:
So Crust and Routing are ready, the Vaults have showed they can handle some extreme Churn (nodes leaving the network like a PC that crashes). And now we’re seeing the final steps to the MVP with the latest work on the Vaults. Who said great news always comes on Tuesday evening

Just small correction, crust and routing have tested this to be true, vaults require to follow that. This is what we are confirming right now, it should take a few days though as these tests take a while to run.
