please check the private forum!!! tzpardi informed the community that won't be collaboration with IOTA. they couldn't work out the details. they couldn't work out the scope of work and what could be gained from a collaboration.
Just to be sure: this is 100% fallicious and I demand that TZP come in here and clear up this misinformation.
I offered TZP and Gadget collaboration from day 1, don't forget that WE were the ones that reached out to collaborate even though we were being bombarded by trolls from the Gadget community that saw IOTA as a threat. WE extended that olive branch, even though WE were the ones with funding and media exposure. WE had no problem sharing this. I have offered funding opportunities, marketing, networking, presentation opportunities, Proof of Concept collaborative software etc. repeatedly, last time YESTERDAY, but then I had to keep working on running IOTA and our start-up so I couldn't respond to his reply IMMEDIATELY, which for the 10th time lead him to 'cancel negotiations'. I also encouraged TZP several times to invite the entire Gadget team into our IOTA Ryver so that we could get a organic dialogue going, which he refused to do. In my opinion this was his biggest error, it's really hard to run things efficiently when there is a such a tight bottleneck of 1 person acting as the mediator at all times.
I had informed TZP numerous times that we are: finalizing everything in preparation for beta and subsequent launch through initial testing, setting up nodes, finishing GUI, doing interviews like this one:

http://www.meetup.com/Internet-Of-Things-IoT-Israel/events/227649870/ , answering countless questions in the forum, in PMs, on Skype, in Ryver, talks with several big companies that are interested in the technology, setting up new website and creating infographics etc. etc. etc. This is on top of our hardware start-up that needs to be ran daily. So
AS I HAVE TOLD HIM countless times: we are not able to respond within 60 minutes at all times, which he isn't either. At first he said he had no problem with this, but every single time he would start pulling out if we didn't respond immediately in the fashion of "Ok so I cancel this" yadayada.
Sorry, but this is not how you conduct yourself in serious negotiations in a professional collaboration. I will never leak private conversations, but he can confirm that I offered
Of course what you guys got to gain is our connections, marketing, potential funding opportunities and synergy between Gadget layer and IOTA layer
yesterday to his question of what Gadget would get in return.
It's unfortunate that TZP decided to arbitrarily end this collaboration, but we wish you guys the best.
