My investors? Do mind your choice of words. Did you hear me say I own part of minerify? Why are you even acting childish? I invested into it like others did after I showed them what I do and we all lost some how and you say I left my investors.

Anyway, I have noted your moniker, won't even respond to you again, cos you have shown your true self trailing all my comments with this trash.

The application ends at the end of this month. Hope you have submitted yours. After the application comes selection. This year, the foundation has announced a possibility in selecting about 2,000 persons if all things go as planned. So, I wish you all success.
