But, still, I understand that this is simply a "communication problem", and I prefer to believe that their intention is not threatening. OK. So, I told myself, overcome all this and do your best for the community.

It's certainly no threat, what could we possibly be threatening with? The terms of our sale agreement were simple: You prepurchase software, we develop said software, you get said software - deal is done. No more, no less.

If people also want us to continue working + other people who will be in the foundation, then of course they have to pay for it. No one is going to work 5-10 hour days for anyone for free, that's borderline slavery. The reason we have to take this blunt tone is that a lot of people in crypto tend to actually treat the initiators of projects like slaves that they somehow inexplicably 'own' for all eternity. We have seen this 100 times in crypto and decided to solve this from day 1 by not having a premine and leaving it in the hands of the community, everyone is free and everyone has a free choice. We don't own anyone *ANYTHING* except the software.

For us what matters is that the tech itself gets adoption, if that is not achievable through the current IOTA community then I predict a company driven consortium will be the best way to make this happen.

The choice lies in the hands of the community.
