we need to stop labeling things! I'm not a democrat! i'm not a republican! i'm not green, i'm not a Libertarian! Im a person with a brain! i pick good ideas from many of the previously listed gangs and make my own political ideology

A very interesting post.  It does seem to fit what is happening with the tea party today. Sadly it is turning into a religion of hatred.

Guys... Sorry if I'm too noob to this thing, but...
There's already a GLOBAL coin for everyone, called bitcoin.
There's another GLOBAL one which is different in its algorhythm, called litecoin.

These are GLOBAL coins. Everyone in the world can use them.
So why do you try to LIMIT a coin to a country AT ALL? It's like you wanted to regulate it, just like governments try to do. Even your people can't understand not to sell them just after receiving them.
What's the use of creating all kinds of more global coins at all? They're all targets for speculators, nothing more.

We already have the solution for the whole world's problem, and it's called bitcoin. (and maybe litecoin)

Yes if a drunk driver slams his porche into the side of your parked vehicle and you are badly injured, whats the point of seeking compensation for your loss? It's in the past right? It's already happened? What kind of moron are we dealing with here.

People have been ripped off, they have a right to voice their opinions, concerns and disapproval.
Sanity my ass. If something is wrong it is our duty to try make it right. You ever hear the expression "if you're not part of the solution, you are part of the problem"?

I haven't forgotten about the maple syrup, everyone who was promised some is still getting it (and it's more than 5 ! It's 8 I believe).

Wow ladies hand bags at dawn!

The IPO clearly wasn't run correctly, we all know this. I personally believe that the Maidsafe team knew there were risks involved with their IPO strategy but overlooked them as small risks to what the benefits raised through the Mastercoin/Maid partnership.  These risks clearly came to fruition having a much larger impact then they first thought.  We have to remember the maidsafe team have also taken a big loss here.

Now being a BTC investor tbh I knew the risks to start with, Maidsafe were very open about the Mastercoin strategy before the safe but I did not worry myself with the complications of earning a few extra maidsafe coins.  At the end of the day, like most investors I could probably imagine we're in this for the long haul.  Its got nothing to do with a quick win, it is about supporting the Maidsafe project and hoping that it will pay off much MUCH further down the line. I couldn't give a crap about MSC investors dumping coins below IPO value, that's up to them hopefully they will be kicking themselves a couple of years from now when safecoins are floating at a healthy value.

At the end of the day BTC investors were promised 17,000 maid for 1 btc (+40% bonus) and thats what was delivered. Nothing more, nothing less. Don't get me wrong I still feel for those who lost out on the BTC > MSC > BTC but this sale was very unpredictable and as they say "the early bird gets the worm".

At the end of the day it's over with now, instead of bickering on here like little children lets all sit back, take a deep breath, hold onto our maidsafe coins and lets see how this really plays out in the long term. Finger pointing and jumping to conclusions mid game is a pointless waste of energy and oxygen. The starting pistol has fired. If your in the race just keep running.

And for those of your who didn't invest and are still complaining. Why? Are you that concerned for other forum members well-being or are you just seeking the attention?

My 2 cents.

I'm going to give them a couple more days to clear this up. At the bare minimum they need to acknowledge clearly that one party of people were able to acquire safecoins significantly cheaper than the other party of people at the same time. Thus causing BTC investors to realise an instant loss.

This cannot be said enough times.

Anyone who invested in Maidsafe with bitcoins (which is what they actually wanted) got screwed.. I think they will want to adjust this somehow if they want to keep their BTC investors happy, even more so since it was bitcoins they were after, not mastercoins.

Thanks for the message dirvine. I know it's a message to the wider community and not just a response to me. I need to do some calculations before I comment further.


If people are buying bitcoin at 5 cents right now whilst others are buying them $450, then obviously that is a problem. Well, I say obviously...

And according to you, something can only be unfair if it involves coercion?  I'm not even replying to that.

What's moolah? Oh, a website ranked 300k+ on Alexa. They delisted BC, because, they said:

"BC doesn't have enough volume on our website"



Moolah is air.

I gave 500 BTC, did it arrive?

Thanks for your kindness. Maybe we need a more accurate word rather than “IPO” to describe the fundraising stuff.

Guys, I have a question.

A lot of people are saying that coin kite is responsible for helping boost bc price... I'm unsure of what the site does in it's entirety other than help process payments with a select few currencies. It's understandable if its HELPED, but bc has rocketed, are people trying to say that coinkite is solely responsible for such a shift in price? I know they are also open to AUR as one of the currencies they want to integrate but require the community support in order to do so, and I believe that what that means is effectively donation support. I checked the public wallet address they are asking for donations in to and so far there is maybe 150 or so. Any ideas or thoughts on coin kite from anyone (who isnt involved with it) and any information from anyone who held BC as to whether coinkite was responsible for helping the price rise and why?
