Zeeman,
I am an NVO investor. If you were active on their slack you would see that the NVO team takes care in aiding their investors, even those that did not follow the rules of their crowdsale. If you follow the SAFE forum from the beginning, you will see how some members the SAFE community treated the NVO team with ridicule and disrespect, and Imed lashed out on them. Sure, he should have had more self control and took a higher road, but he is a young developer and not their PR guy.
NVO has an Escrow to handle their ICO funds. NVO has even taken less out than they are allowed to at this point in their development milestones.
Regarding SAFE network - the NVO project initially planned to build on the SAFE network. Imed noticed that they probably would not be ready by the time NVO was, so he began to work on his own solution. It has been stated repeatedly that NVO will use the SAFE network when/if it is ever ready.
Imed was originally to help with the validator, and NVO elected to make him a cofounder because of the extent he is going to help them. I do not not know, as well as you, if he will get paid for this or not. Perhaps in the beginning, when NVO thought the SAFE network would be used, Imed's role was smaller. But now that he has to come up with an alternative solution his role has increased and his pay should reflect that, shouldn't it?
How are you to judge his qualifications? Who are you to say he is or is not qualified? Who are you to come to his channel and spread negativity, most of it biased and missing the entire truth?
Anyone who wants to make a quality judgement on this project can feel free to go to the NVO slack channel and see how he and the NVO team have conducted themselves thus far. NVO will release a wallet by November 1st and the exchange is to be ready Q1 2018. They have not broken any promises, although the wallet has been pushed back a few weeks from the original release announcement due to Imed wanting to synch the coins with the exchange now instead of later.
I am not affiliated with Imed or the NVO team other than sending them money during the ICO and later buying more NVO tokens. I have no reason to convince anyone of anything, as the only thing that influences me directly is the success or failure of NVO. But I have come to respect the NVO team through their interactions on the slack, and feel compelled to defend them from crap like this.
Wow. it's a good project and I will consider to join this project when I can see the detailed plans for this coin.
Then I can support this project as my preferred subject.
@Nemgun is involved in the NVO Project as well. They get quite some heat on the SAFE Network forum. Nemgun (Imed Boudali) actually got banned for making posts like this one:
https://safenetforum.org/t/nvo-decentralized-exchange-crowdsale/13608/969So they came to the SAFE community, took millions with their NVO project and within a few weeks they claimed that it couldn't be build on SAFE. Bye bye millions.
Here's the NVO website with Imed Boudali as part of the team and as a founder:
https://nvo.ioNotice how Imed claims in this topic below that he was just a volunteer and didn't got paid for the work he did:
https://safenetforum.org/t/nvo-decentralized-exchange-crowdsale/13608/359Turned out he was a co-founder of the NVO project so he now has millions to share with the others.
So feel free to invest in this project but make sure to do some good research. In my opinion Nemgun (Imed Boudali) isn't qualified to say the least

. One might actually wonder why he raised millions with NVO in May 2017 (while lying about his role in the project) only to do another ICO for another project a few months later. NVO hasn't delivered anything yet, not even a proof-of-concept.
Thank you a lot, it is this kind of post and attention, who reminds to the developers that they have to provide the best for their supporters, NVO will be put in place in the right delays, while providing a good work, i will do my best with the NVO guys to deliver a good product.
Regarding the people who thinks Xenio is a Vaporware, know that the Xenio crowdsale won't start unless we are in Beta, and that we can play at least some games together.
