Re: [ANN] IPO of MaidSafe: Entering the Future of the Decentralized Internet
Few important questions I didn't find answer for
- I didn't see anywhere development timeline. When we can expect working version. For what features the money will be used?
- Will the average user (not farmer) be able to visit maidsafe hosted sites without installing any client on his PC?
here is a bump for couple of questions hoping to get answered
another one
Q&A
Q 1
Is the MSC funds sent after the IPO closure for MSC qualified for getting safecoins?
No on the CLOSE order all funds are allocated. The protocol works like this, after CLOSE there are no more issues of MSAFE.
Q 2
what do you mean that "BitAngels have already said they will honour some of the MSC guys who did miss out"?
They have actually sold some people their own MSAFE to appease people very aggrieved. Not to be used as some other sale though, this is just a decent and very honourable thing they have done.
Q 3
what is the development timeline? When the backers can expect working version.
Test net1 imminent likely to be 5-6 weeks. We may have three of these, depending on test resutls etc. Also depending on number of devs we can get involved in any code fixes etc.
Q 4
Financially transparent:what features the money will be used?
Not sure what this means, sorry. The moeny is to be used though
1: fund maidsafe 3 years at current burn as long as they provide core dev
2: Fund international developement teams to compete with maidsafe engineers on core dev
Described in more detail in white paper though.
Q 5
what is reason of that there are two Sent transactions from the IPO MSC address https://masterchain.info/Address.html?addr=1ARjWDkZ7kT9fwjPrjcQyvbXDkEySzKHwu¤cy=MSC?
We answered this a lot in lots of places. A transaction was sent form the issue address to a loan address by mistake, you can see it moving out again pretty quickly. Otherwise it would have been a system taint as you should never reuse MSC to issue a smart property. You can but it is very much frowned upon and very bad as it would mess up auditing for everyone.
