I have a question. If this site is completely illegal and subject to tons of pressure from the industry, why is it that you have a company? And why do u even speak to lawyers? Why not just keep it completely under ground?

If thepiratebay is llegal so why not this can be illegal.When Twitter open bounty start?

The reason we are a legal entity is because Novus intends to operate on an entirely legal basis.

The way the pirate bay works and how this works is entirely different. The pirate bay is a centralized database of magnet links, AFIX is a decentralized database of IPFS hashes and meta data that is constructed from a blockchain. The pirate bay can fully control what content is accessible in terms of searching where as even though Novus is the creator of AFIX, we have no control over curating the content on the blockchain from which the decentralized database is constructed from. At the point of decentralization much like IPFS the only thing we can do to comply with the law is to blacklist IPFS file hashes of files that violate laws and prevent them from being accessed through our gateway. However, much like IPFS nothing is to prevent a user from setting up their own node to access said content or using an entirely different public gateway other than the one operated by Novus.

As for the twitter bounty, it will start in a couple days.

Someone in vidz slack made me think over it

You know what I've also shown? My ability to deliver and communicate.

Isn't it amazing how fast those people who claim to value transparency quickly sell out on it implying I shouldn't have been transparent about me leaving? You can claim that my announcement made people lose money, sure but one can also claim that I'm at least half if not more responsible for the early success of Pure Vidz which made a lot of people money.

Secondly, those who supported Pure Vidz directly through the crowdfund reaped the rewards of its success still to this day at 5x. When you buy in afterwards on the exchanges to me what it should imply is that you believe in the project to succeed. When I left in terms of development nothing should have changed other than speed. A team's success should not be contingent on one person especially when that one person isn't even the "leader" of the team and the leader isn't willing to compromise their ideas.

So, don't blame me for the current state of affairs or the state of the free market because for those who don't believe in Pure Vidz I've offered them a swap. This swap provides no funding for Novus what so ever, it supports Pure Vidz by reducing the supply and allows people who instead believe in my project but bought into VIDZ to join in on it. I really don't see how one can rationally make the claim that I don't care about those who lost money, a 50% swap wasn't enough?

Thanks.
