Thinking about hopping on the GNT train before it leaves the station. Any realistic estimates on when major market moves may happen and what price targets we might have near and midterm (end of June, July etc.)?
It's really good and Never miss this chance to collect some cheap coins for your investment. I invested GNT 3 months ago and I had some big profits now it's time to buy more cheap coins before a big pump in this month. GNT is cheap you think? ICO price was near 1500, now it is near 20k. GNT has huge marketcap. I think it is dangerouse to buy it now. But i agree that big news can make some positive movement to a price.

From what I have read bitcoin will be going through a possible fork on 1 Aug. The outcome of this is not known and won't be known until it starts to happen and is realised. This will effect maidsafe because these coins are on the bitcoin network. The future of maidsafe coins is now as uncertain as bitcoin. What is being done by maidsafe about this? what protections do maidsafe owners have? It is even worrying that there is yet no mention of this within this comunity.
I think, BTC is very strong and rumors about fork are only rumors for market manipulation. MAID is solid project with light future, so do not panic.

They can't shut SAFE down once it's supported by nodes all over the world. Think of it like shutting down Bitcoin, how would you do that? Or how to shut down Freenet? Can't be done either. SAFE is based on open source software with its own browser. Ok, that's reassuring. But they could make running the software illegal right ? And they could hold the MAIDSAFE company or devs responsible for illegal activities performed by others on the SAFE network, just like they did with Ross Ulbricht from Silk Road. Does MAIDSAFE have any publications were they adress these possible regulatory issues ? Ross Ulbricht from Silk Road was running a bunch of servers on TOR so he was the owner of the website and running it. On SAFE there are no servers. Coming testnet will run droplets hired by MaidSafe but we already had community testnets owned by no one. Freenet is out for over 10 years and is not forbidden by anyone, nor do they keep the devs responsible for what's on that network. On SAFE you can register a domain like safe://bitcointalk without anyone knowing who's behind it. Even in the upcoming testnet MaidSafe has no clue who registered what username/domain and what files they uploaded. Even while they run the current network. So you can compare it with Z-cash. Nobody knows who owns what. In SAFE it's nobody knows who stores what. And nobody knows who surfs/downloads what. looks like it is very anonymity net. But dont you think, that governement will not like this? This net can be used for dark trades of smth like this. But now it sounds promising.

If you haven't read it already, here's yesterday's Coindesk article on Litecoin and Lightning Networks: http://www.coindesk.com/cross-blockchain-trades-lightning-gives-new-life-atomic-swaps/Litecoin is now, potentially, the most technologically advanced coin in the crypto-universe with Core developers working on it to deliver full implementations of Lightning, the game-changing 'atomic cross-chain transactions' and other goodies. "Another point to note: now that SegWit has activated on litecoin, users can begin sending test cross-chain transactions from litecoin to the bitcoin testnet."When news of full Lightning implementation breaks it will be too late - the train will have left the station. this is our train and we will go to the ground for takeoff. coin is good, only need patience. Just look at chart. long accumulation phase. We need a little BTC up and then LTC will go after BTC. A am waiting price near 0.02 soon.

As for daily interaction, I'll be happy to answer constructive questions. As a policy we won't comment on price speculations or FUD or concern trolls.
For our MTP development and sync fixes this has been done on a weekly basis and our Slack is very much the place for the latest updates. Note that MTP is really being built from scratch and even a well funded project such as Zcash took many months to code Equihash.
For MTP, there's not always something new to talk about daily and we have been spammed by requests for updates. A single task doesn't take one day to complete especially with a task as big as this one. We have been giving weekly updates and in fact on a more regular basis in Slack but we will not post exact time-frames as that's not how software development works but we aren't too far off. We don't want to create unnecessary hype or give people too exact a timeframe. After all, it's all a long term game for the dev team and MTP is one of the foundational blocks of Zcoin. Other developments in the pipeline are much easier to develop given there are existing codebases to work off.
MTP is decidedly ambitious and one of the reasons we haven't been pushing updates to github just yet is we don't want a rival project to take our code and leapfrog us after all the work we've done. Once we have something ready, then all the updates will be pushed but a lot of work has been done and we are near the finish line.
Nice, hope, you will have success. XZC is interesting project and MTP will bring new life to it. I think we need just to wait a little. And what about Z-nodes?

Has anybody more insights on why the Safecoin price is controlled so much? For months there has been very strong market shaping on Poloniex with alternating large buy & sell walls preventing any major action to either side. Also, this is all going on very indirectly and the walls are never placed aggressively so they seem only to be used to push the market slightly to the other direction in order to unload a bit of the market maker's position or whatever. Am I paranoid?
I did not observe this kind of behavior with many other coins.
I recall there was a post about a year ago that discussed Maidsafe's intention to slowly sell off some of the foundation's coins in order to continue funding the project. Not sure if they went that route or not, but could it possibly explain why the price doesn't seem to move strongly in either direction? Otherwise, I'd assume there's some whales with a lot of coins manipulating the price. MAID is just as volatile as other coins. In 1 month the marketcap moved from 119 mil. to 216 mil. So I have no clue how someone could say the price is controlled . https://blog.maidsafe.net/2016/05/31/maidsafecoin-announcement/Here's the info on the selling of those coins from about a year ago. We see $-volumes of around 5 million on some trading days for MAID. No way MaidSafe as a company could influence that. I guess even the big whales can't these days. You need quite some volume in USD to move the market up or down. but like I said, MAID is volatile just like all the others: and now compare made with others. Total capitalization o maid moved from 119 to 216 because of BTC ATH. Price in BTC stay in little coridor 16k-18k. MM makes it. MAID is the most slow coin this season. When others coins price jumped a lot(2x-5x) maid price did not do nothing. MAID is stability.

Investment limits ? what is the maximum and minimum CAP ?
No terms yet - i think and I hope they will not put a cap like the others did because it will be over before it will even start. the best system, in my opinion, is for them to collect from everybody over a period of time and then return a %, assuming they meet their target. that way every body enjoy the ICO equity. we will see, but your variant i think is little hard. I hope, ICO will ends in one or two days, project is very interesting, so do not be slow.

thanks, interesting. But I have one little question - when will be Alpha-2 release? this spring or summer? It's always the ultimate question, when will they release what! I really can't give an answer to that because I seriously have no idea. In the update they talk about releasing a local network for them to test, that's always good news. One of the devs replied on the forum today that they will provide the SAFE Browser with mock routing as binaries tomorrow: https://safenetforum.org/t/maidsafe-dev-update-may-18-2017/13726/44This is what other devs are waiting for, they already build stuff for themselves on the dev forum ( https://forum.safedev.org/t/how-to-build-the-safe-browser-and-upload-a-website-with-mock-vault/625/78) but now they can just start the browser and build and test their apps locally against a fake network. So in the coming weeks: 1). A testnet locally in Troon 2.) TEST 20 (guess they call it that) for everybody to join 3.) When that's okay Alpha 2. But there could be bugs/errors/security holes which they fix and release TEST 20b and/or TEST 20c. They could last a week, or only a few days...... This is where it gets very hard to predict. Alpha 2 could be here in 3 weeks, or 6 weeks or 9 weeks if it takes longer than expected. I really have no clue. The good news is that MaidSafe really test their stuff and that external devs can already build apps now. Will be easier tomorrow with binaries release. The most important thing IMO is the real start of the ecosystem. Apps, coins (not Safecoin) going from A to B, chats and more. Really curious what external devs come up with after they waited so long . thanks, you answered well and clear. A asked about alpha-2 because the price is standing at one place and it is not good.
