Very sad to see a place famed for academic brilliance being taken in by a charlatan. Very embarrassing

Maidsafe is one of the original crypto grifts that is still going and still hasn't made anything.

If the original funders kept their bitcoin they would be comfortably wealthy. Instead this company has wasted bitcoin that would now be worth billions over the past TWENTY years!

Its a crypto grift

The melting pot was just a hypothesis and we are living through the experiment.

Trustpilot are a scam operation themselves and I agree that they are near-perfect evil.

Think about the amount of concrete alone that would need to be used to get Africa up to 1st world standards. China used more in a few years than America did in a century. This will have to happen many times over just for the current population level, never mind a growing one!

It is like living in a house and everyone agreeing to cut their energy use by 20%.... while bringing in a new resident every few months.

Have you not seen the protests today? Hello?

The last thing they need is money as that will lead to increased consumption or even increased population growth!

This is a climate EMERGENCY so we should limit their ability to gain money, not ease it

Did you just assume everyones gender?

Yes, it is racist and sexist.
