I’m in the US and this news is unfortunate. HitBTC seems to be another option for trading MAID but I’ve seen negative feedback about their platform so I’m not comfortable using it at the moment.

I think the best solution is to use the Decentralized Exchange .BitShares…
MAID use to trade on there …It was introduced by the OpenLedger gateway. but closed MAID trading because of lack of volume…The trading fees are quite minimal and if MAID is reintroduced by OpenLedger or any other gateway, the Maid token will not be subject to the whims of Centralized Exchange ever again…All the Poloniex trading volume can shift over to that exchange…
I’m sure someone on the MAID dev team can quickly reach out to OpenLedger to try and work out something…so as to be able to announce an alternative for US (and all global) customers right on the heels of this Poloniex announcement…because token holders will be looking on this forum, reddit, etc., for a solution.

Just waiting patiently for an exchange on the Safe Network.

I don’t think it’s the exchanges that are being whimsical, but the US government. The exchanges are just trying to avoid legal conflict. That’s not to say I’m not worried, just because I live in Europe. What can happen in China or the US can, and probably will, happen elsewhere too.
Do any truly decentralized and trustworthy exchanges really exist yet?
Maybe “Crypto trading as a US/? citizen” deserves its own topic.

Yes, and they are amazing - plug your hardware wallet in, stake or “wrap” the cryptocurrencies that you wish to trade in the smart contract with a few clicks and away you go trading with no need to give up any private information to some honeypot database or trust third parties (other than any trust you place on the smart contract code that is). Liquid pairs trade upwards of a few million a day so still small fish but growing fast. There is a catch however: Ethereum erc-20 tokens only, at least for deversifi.com.

What about decentralized exchanges that do fiat-crypto-fiat?
Please post links instead of just the names. There is a lot of URL scams out there.

One of the numerous paragraphs about the SAFE Network-
“Safe Network is storage centric for now with Vault in Alpha 2 Test Mode (Maidsafe promise to deliver a functioning network with Vault support sometime in 2020, and IMO appear to be on track). Maidsafe also have other Dapps running today including the Jam music player and the ability to host Website pages in a distributed and reliable manner through their SAFE Browser. all very cool, running the Parsec Consensus algorithm to protect your data and transactions.”

Saw this in my news feed and it spiked my interest. I’ve not heard about this technology before, but it looks ideal for electric vehicles, including ships and aircraft and remote locations. High energy and high density fuel cells, with no nasty pollutants and fully recyclable.
It isn’t recharged like a typical battery, but easy to swap out and recycle instead. 1500 mile ranges for a standard module in an average car. It sounds pretty amazing to me!
Edit: @fergish - maybe one to interest you on your technology and choice show?

Hmhmm - I read about this technology a few years ago but so far it didn’t manage to become mainstream 
But the company still exists

That company was supported by the Israeli government by the look of it. It’s mentioned in this article.
Historically these sort of innovations have been squelched by the car and oil industries, while others just fail to scale. I’m always slightly dubious about inventors with a ‘secret sauce’, but it would be great if he really was on to something.

Anything in this?
No idea, but it would not surprise me.
Also would not surprise me if she was another candidate of the elites, falsely claiming to want change in order to get elected.
I’m always skeptical of people who launch their position by bashing someone else rather than simply stating what it is they believe… History tends to show such people as without conviction and more concerned with the trappings or power than moving society forward. My two cents.

I don’t think so. I’ve watched a number of her videos and she comes across genuine. However, she’s up against the entire deep state/military industrial complex, so I don’t see how she can get the Democratic party nomination. Mind you, people trashed Trump’s chances, until he won!

But she’s not bashing someone else. She’s defending herself against the “bashing” of corrupt Democratic establishment - as embodied in Hillary Clinton.
