http://coremedia.info/index.php/supernet/item/237-supernet-weekly-no4Above it,
noone, together with team members, was given any free Waves as of now.
So no free WAVES, what about discounts?
If anyone wants to invest, he is investing the same like everyone else,
there is/was no presale or special terms for anyone.
Rules are the same for everyone.
