Yeah, around where I learned English, if you said āknickersā, they would probably just shoot you for lack of patriotism. Also, itās best not to mention northern states like New York at all. But come to think of it, itās not impossible somebody might say āpanties in a bunchā.

There are notes in a code branch working on the at2 implementation of Safecoin that mentions where section debits and farming come from. They have these things sorted internally as they had been sharing such info with us several weeks ago but at2 implementation of Safecoin is taking precedence at the moment. Weāll likely hear more about farming after gossip has been added (to prevent double spending) and testing has shown positive results.

Iāll admit Iām addicted. At first I didnāt know a whole lot but Iāve learned a ton here since joining the general crypto scene in 2013 and itās opened my eyes about other projects and approaches. So as time went on I wasnāt just addicted to the vision of what the internet should be and how it could be done but to the actual problem solving of how that is being implemented.
Thereās a lot to like about this project. Itās got the vision, itās got a quality and devoted community, it isnāt swimming in money and weāre mostly not all here for the money anyhow, and a decent amount of folks here either know exactly where the project is or can follow along well enough from a high level to know we are making good headway. The best news is the inventing of the fundamental network is done.
Down playing the ābabyā steps is simply ridiculous. Itās actually proving almost precisely what you are complaining about not seeing. What project ever just hit the ground running without some demo, testnet, alpha, or beta?? Answer is none so I really donāt get that point of your criticism.

Lol. Okay, Iāll try to use small words. Every single company I have worked for has both positive and negative reviews. Ironically, MaidSafe (who I do not work for), has higher avg. reviews than most of the companies Iāve worked for (which have won awards for being great places to work). Even though those companies were great places to work on average, they werenāt great places for everyone because everyone is different.
Anyway, most people would agree that a score like this is pretty solid:
For reference, Apple has 4.1, Teska has a 3.4, and Amazon has a 3.9ā¦
The only thing MaidSafe has promised is to keep trying to solve the challenges that a centralized internet has created by endeavoring to build a decentralized Internet. So far, theyāve done just that.

Lol so better than amazon and Tesla and close to as good as apple. That comment alone shot his argument in the foot and really points out what kind of limited world view heās coming from. Donāt mean to insult here but I wonāt mince words when it comes to the logic behind his criticism either.

2 of the 13 reviews are bad and there rest are nothing but praise. So iām supposed to believe 2 people over 11? Does that seem logical at all?

That is called an egocentric bias and false-consensus bias. Oh I am sorry, were those ābig wordsā for you? It means that you are so immature to fail to see that not everyone else is as ignorant as you are. You think that because you donāt understand it, then nobody else must understand it.
I do understand it. Tim Berners-Lee understands it, Mike Judge understood it and built a whole series about it.
And the milestones that they are accomplishing are in fact the empirical evidence that you areā¦ wait a second do we have cherry picking and sample bias here as well?
Dude, whatās the point of answering you when you canāt even reason properly.

Yeah dude 2/11 people had a bad experience, dissenting engineers or whatever have you. I am sure every employee has a lot of passion going into what they were working on and tempers can get hot and disagreements are had in how things get handled. Hopefully MaidSafe still reviews even the few negative ones and self-reflects on what could be improved internally to have had better outcomes with said employees. Important to be humble in this business, especially one where you are trying to do something that has never really been done at scale and successfully.
