I am actually quite amazed that Maidsafe is still ranked among the top 200 altcoins. Every weekly update is bad news and causes the coin to fall in price until some speculators pump it back up for a period.
I am also amazed about the tenacity of the devs. All IT geeks assure me that the Maid project is not feasible, and here you still get some people to work on a project that may never see the day of light. Do they really believe in it? Or are they just happy to get a job?

I recently had dinner with one of the world's top Rust developers. He had nothing positive to say about MaidSafe, implied the rest of the Rust community is embarrassed to have Maid using their platform, and confirmed our suspicion that Maid devs know their project is not feasible but are happy to get a job.

You are bashing MaidSafe for years now. I see you here all the time. And I really wonder what reason you have to come back and put energy in this topic. It's like claiming that you don't like Mc Donalds and show up every few days to get a happy meal. It doesn't make sense, looks a bit like a mental disease. And your claims here are so far off that it's funny. MaidSafe was invited to several Rust Meetups to present their project. Here's proof (https://youtu.be/6-Tgo10t_jA). And here's even more: (https://youtu.be/4qEuWJPVeFs). Nikita Baksalyar is a MaidSafe engineer and gave a presentation that's posted on the official Rust channel 3 weeks ago.

Like I said, it's just funny how you put energy into a topic like this making one false claim after the other. I guess you got burned quite hard by shorting Maidsafecoin the other day and you're still angry about it. Well, sorry but i can't help you with that.

Here's the latest dev update:

Enjoy!@!

I did lose a few BTC shorting Maid a couple years ago, but I'm not "still angry" about it. That's just part of the game; no risk, no reward. I'd be as immature as your post if I persisted in being butthurt about that.

You should not call me a liar just to deflect from my reporting of a first hand, real world experience simply because you find it offensive and unpleasant.

For context, my dinner with the top-tier Rust developer/researcher was completely coincidental and occurred purely by chance. He had no idea who I am and was (likewise) surprised I even knew the "very obscure" (his words) Maid project existed.

I approached the subject of Maid tactfully in case he was a supporter, but it turned out that we two dissimilar experts evaluating Maid from completely different backgrounds and areas of expertise still shared the common ground of concluding Maid is an embarrassment to much of the Rust community, Maid is not feasible, and Maid devs (should) probably know that but are happy to get a job.

When I told him Maid was pivoting to Dash-like marketing emphasizing hype over technology, he laughed and said he wasn't surprised. We then went on to have a fascinating discussion about functional languages, because unlike you I very much appreciate being in the company of domain experts and seek to glean every bit of new information possible from them (rather than fling poo at them because they dispute my cherished assumptions).
