You are more than welcome. If you read the papers and hear the Interviews. This was not about raising money for MaidSafe the company as much as for the community. The intention is that we build teams of developers in as many geographies as possible and get as many participants as we could.  This is hugely important to me and makes weird business sense. We raised money to create competitors, but being open source is not enough, there has to be a dissemination of the knowledge of the code for the SAFE network to be as successful as it can be. There is a commitment to pay 3 years of the current core team and this is to ensure the knowledge xfer can happen. After then we are exactly as valuable as any other core team or app developer on the network. This is key to the success I feel and is true decentralisation.

Anyhow the point was that this is to fuel the network and it will, maybe a little less financially but still a huge amount of supporters. We really thought only very few people knew of us and figured we would burn a lot of the 10% back for farmers and builders. Many of the processes the Master Protocol guys had set up were to roll out over the 30 days. We were all totally caught on the hop and that is why it was the best day for us all and the most scary thing I have ever seen. 

All 10% got purchased and that is great, even better is the amount of people, a huge amount of small purchasers was my goal and we reached that for sure. So all the staff in maidsafe were in with all their BTC as well as what seems like thousands of others, so a huge success, yes, lessons for others, absolutely. Tired, well yea you would not believe how much.
