If you're determined to distrust the enterprise based on knowledge of shareholders, how much knowledge do you have of the SpiderOak corporation?
I haven't made this point in the conversation before, because it's one-sided: On Mega's side, I know some of the people who are involved in the development, operations and management of the company (and "know-of" more), and in general I trust their judgements. So if Mega was "rotten" I'd be very surprised to see so many people I respect working for them. I know nothing about the employees of SpiderOak - the closest connection I have are a handful of 2nd and 3rd degree contacts on LinkedIn, all of whom come to me via Open Source related people. But LinkedIn is a good example of the "web-of-distrust" - I don't know the criteria that other people use when making their own contacts, and therefore "3rd" degree contacts are basically anonymous. I do agree that Kim Dotcom's public persona detracts from technical ventures, but I have no reason to suspect that this makes them technically untrustworthy. -jim On Thu, Aug 6, 2015 at 2:01 PM, steve <[email protected]> wrote: > > > On 06/08/15 13:45, Jim Cheetham wrote: > > On Thu, Aug 6, 2015 at 10:29 AM, steve <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Cynical head lurches into action when anything involving Kim Dotcom - he >> is a criminal after all... whether that's a valid take or not is another >> discussion! >> > > I expect that Kim Dotcom wrote about as much code for Mega.nz as Bill > Gates did for Windows NT.
