Thank you for the update. How did the Maidsafe team handle the huge value loss of mastercoin as, if i remember correctly, most of the IPOs funds came in mastercoin?
They posted a public document addressing the situation here...

I believe they ended up with a relevant loss on the projected crowd sale total because of this...it's a rather comprehensive retrospective analysis linked above.
