Hi Guys,
I have looked at your posts and I have checked out some things about Kanosis. I have been a Kanosis subscriber for a short while now and I love the service. This is the most affordable intranet storage, VOIP, video broadcast, e-mail manager , and so many more sevices to list program in the world. I am a user and I can really see this thing taking off like a virus on the internet! You can even create your own avatar to e-mail to any one that you know, it is so cool you can make this animated creature look like you and type the text and send the e-mail! It is really cool stuff. My favorite thing about it is the storage. I can back up my files and access them from any where. It is basically an online operating system where you are in a virtually virus free enviornment. I would recomend that anyone with valuble info on their hard drive use this as a full proof file security system. It is so cheap to join I don't understand why the entire business world would not have this. I can be used for traditional business and also MLM management. You name the business and Kanosis will manage it. It is an awesome system. Go toKanosis.com (http://www.kanosis.com) watch the flash video and if you decide to become a part of this Kanosis community join under the user I.D. xxxxx and it will walk you through the process!

Apparently you didn't actually read them, or you would have seen that Jim has stated that actively advertising is forbidden during the pre-launch phase.
I have removed your user id as a blatent self-promotion.

Hi Gabriel kxxxx
When you spam your referral it cheapens your endorsement lol
It makes you a pimp ;)
I liked your statement "see this thing taking off like a virus on the internet!" because......
Soon every online forum, etc will be getting spammed with 1000's of these pleas to get some downline under them
The chance of yours being chosen from all of them will be slim to none :shake:
Everyone will look at your post as an another annoying VIRUS to be deleted without a second glance
PS: I have no need for any of the services you are so excited :rolleyes: about
PPS: With over 4.400 members ( Thanks to mpatient26 ;) ) now your chances of making any real money is also slim to none now :p

Google 'planning total storage'
Google is the world's foremost search engine
Web giant Google is planning a massive online storage facility to encompass all users' files, it is reported.
The plans were allegedly revealed accidentally after a blogger spotted notes in a slideshow presentation wrongly published on Google's site.
The GDrive, previously the subject of chatroom rumour, would offer a mirror of users' hard drives, Reuters said.
Google declined to comment on the reports but said the slide notes had now been deleted.
In the notes, chief executive Eric Schmidt reportedly said Google's aim was to "store 100%" of users' information.
The notes said: "With infinite storage, we can house all user files, including e-mails, web history, pictures, bookmarks, etc; and make it accessible from anywhere (any device, any platform, etc)."
No announcement
"We deleted the slide notes because they were not intended for publication," Google spokeswoman Lynn Fox said.
"We are constantly working on new ways to enhance our products and services for users, but have nothing to announce at this time."
Under the alleged scheme, if users suffered a crash and lost files, Google's own computers would have kept a back-up.
The plan for total online storage could meet difficulties with bandwidth constraints for some users.
The search giant recently decided to offer an optional facility that stores a copy of the text-based sections of each user's data on Google's own computers.

Well said by a user. I hope I don't get infected.
It is so cheap to join I don't understand why the entire business world would not have this.
Because the entire business world cannot sumarize their data into 6 gb to upload. Also, the business world uses technologies such as backup tape drives, and multiple servers replicating data. They use VPN technology, and control the security themselves, rather than placing their data on someone else's server with a hope that it is secure.
I can be used for traditional business and also MLM management.
I hope that is a typo, but it does sound like you are being used for the MLM. You shouldn't admin that you can be used, because it doesn't help your credibility.
You name the business and Kanosis will manage it.
Why would the business hire managers, if they will have Kanosis manage it?

This is the problem I have with MLM/pyramids. All you see are oportunists trying to sell crap to good people.

All this is doing apart from making Kanosis look like a joke is proving my Pyramid Scheme definition of Kanosis. Or are we now seing a cult develop where all the members just copy and paste what the leaders tell them in order to recruit more.
Why people prostitute themselves like this for the chance of earning $1.10 per recruit is beyond me, especially when they are paying $22 a month for the privelidge.
But where just in it for coil I hear them cry.
Maybe I'm being too harsh.

As I didn't have time to give Biz pro's post my full attention earlier here goes:
I have looked at your posts and I have checked out some things about Kanosis. A good start hopefully a good reveiw will follow not simply a referral id at the end.
I have been a Kanosis subscriber for a short while now and I love the service. A good personnal reccomendation still waiting for the review though.
This is the most affordable intranet storage, VOIP, video broadcast, e-mail manager , and so many more sevices to list program in the world. A big statement this no doubt it will be backed up by facts of some sort.
I am a user and I can really see this thing taking off like a virus on the internet! You can even create your own avatar to e-mail to any one that you know, it is so cool you can make this animated creature look like you and type the text and send the e-mail! It is really cool stuff. A virus, Is that like a self replicating piece of code that brings computers to a standstill (I wouldn't use the V word again if I was you). Create my own avatar thats good, like to type my e-mails and send them for me. Or I could just clone myself and let the clone do all the work.My favorite thing about it is the storage. I can back up my files and access them from any where. It is basically an online operating system where you are in a virtually virus free enviornment. I would recomend that anyone with valuble info on their hard drive use this as a full proof file security system. Now storage is a good thing but Virtually Virus free does that mean there are a few virus's lurking or trying to sneak in through open ports (using a program like xscan for instance) Java based systems used to be extremly susceptible to this hopefully now this issue is now fixed or patched anyway. As far as storing valuble data on someone elses server goes, are you mad keep it on a CD under the bed is better advice.
It is so cheap to join I don't understand why the entire business world would not have this. Probably because its a Pyramid Scheme which would lead to legal issues.I can be used for traditional business and also MLM management.Thanks for the job application but I would rather use you to wash my car or trim my hedge, if you mean it could be used, then I would have to disagree as most Business's use a more indepth system like Quicken, Sage etc and would not risk sensitive informtion to an outsider and also Kanosis isn't a MLM as at the moment every end user automatically joins the matrix/pyramid whether they like it or not.It is an awesome system. Go toKanosis.com watch the flash video and if you decide to become a part of this Kanosis community join under the user I.D. xxxxx and it will walk you through the process! Here we go, let me guess this was your refferal id you tried to post here. Probably would have been quicker to just post your id without the sales pitch the result would have been the same.
Thanks but no thanks at the moment anyway.

Hello Kcucich and welcome to Matrixwatch.
We have been following Kanosis from the begining.
As far as I know the product (Coil) is legitimate apart from a large amounts of bugs and compatibilty issues.
The business opportunity is a bit of a grey area- to be kind to Kanosis it treads a very fine line between MLM and Pyramid scheme.
Be wary if you have joined to make money as estimated sign ups are around 8000+ and there will be many competing for the same internet market.
However if you have joined for the product then the business side shouldn't pose to much of a problem.
If you need any help please try contacting the person you signed up under or if Kanoisis have a members only forum this should be a great place to get some answers.
The best advice I can give is to weigh up the benefits on a monthly basis and is you don't like it after a month simply stop your $22 renewal (or $24.50 if VAT and a processing charge have been added which by now it probably has).
Hope this helps a bit.

The legitimacy has been argued here for a while. I was hoping Jim (one of the top 20 people on the internet as explained by Kanosis) would be here to further the debate on the legitimacy. Here are some things for you to consider when determining for yourself if it is legitimate.
1) How is customer service? (You already stated your experience)
2) Why are they in Cypres?
3) Why does their website look almost exactly like the site for Microsoft Vista.
4) Why don't they allow you to use a free beta version before making a purchase?
5) Why is there no real information about the product you are purchasing?
6) What benefit does the product have for you?
7) What information are they asking for?
8) Are you willing to trust your private files on their "secure" system?
9) Would you trust your private files with someone you have never even met? How about doing business with a company that has no money backing in case your files are stolen? You can't sue them because they don't have anything to sue for.
10) Why are the executives affraid to tell you about themselves? Where is their bios on the website, etc?
11) Why are they using such a contraversial marketing plan? If their product is as good as they say, then why does 75% of their revenue go to the referrers instead of making the product better?
12) Why are there so many bugs still in the system they are selling you?

Good News for all the prospective Kanosians out there, a little birdie tells me it is now possible to use a trial version of Kanosis/Coil/Coil Sparc for free. ;)
Its by personal invite only so anyone being approached by a Kanosis sponsor ask for the trial version first before parting with your money.
I'm told its limited to 10 invites per member at the moment and you can't use all the features of Coil but good news for any potentials wishing to give it a try before getting caught in the Matrix/ Family tree / Whatever.
concerned
June 14th, 2006, 01:54 PM
That's a start, but why limit it to 10 invites? If someone has 1000 people they want to invite, why wouldn't they allow it? Would't that make the software sell better? And, how can I try it? I don't know anyone that is a member that can invite me in? This still doesn't allow for someone off the street to be a customer. Why would a self proclaimed "legitimate" business want to exclude customers from buying their product?
Oh, and by the way, on this "free evaluation" piece, they absolutely CANNOT claim that they were 2 years ahead of Microsoft. They probably got the idea from us continuing to ask why a free test is not available, while showing that Microsoft is providing a free trial already.

As its been a while since Kanosis was mentioned I thought it might be worth a post as to the current thinking of one of its members.
The following extracts are taken from a Kanosis members post which was bought to my attention from their own forum.
My comments are only intended to show my take on things and not to ridicule or insult the original post.
I am lead to believe the Kanosis forum thread discussion relates to building ones downline in the matrix/family tree and where new members are placed.
Since we are allowed the right to free speech in this forum, given the dictate that the rules and regs as posted are followed, I can appreciate the supposed line of thought expressed in a number of the previous posts.
However, as usual, I have an opinion to share and it won't sit too well with some others. That said, I can also guarantee that I have no clue what the possible motivation might be for some of the mentioned requests for information. But, being a thinking being, I can surmise.
There is no matrix. There is no pyramid. Glad we all understand that.
Kanosis represents a privately held company that pays subscribers a stakeholder dividend in exchange for services and the active referral of new subscribers. This is not a stockholder relationship. Therefore we have no rights other than those that are freely and willfully bestowed. However, the vision and mission of this company have enabled a particularly invaluable mutual relationship between "corporate" and users. That relationship is unprecedented in today's corporate world and should be appreciated accordingly. Strange how this member believes there is no Matrix or Pyramid even though thats exactly what Kanosis originated from and still to this Day builds its membership based on a Pyramid commision structure (they call it a family tree though). This may shock many who when told "Glad we all understand that" obviously don't. I don't believe the relationship between corporate and users is unprecedented as all MLM's work in this way even the dodgy ones.
In my opinion, the truth here is that it is none of our da#* business as stakeholders who signed up first or how many legs shoot down from the upper levels. Management, so to speak, is busy strategizing, putting an infrastructure in place with research, implementation, leveraging as well as talent and change management. The more we let them dedicate their energies to create and evolve, the better our experience will be with the products and with sharing the opportunity with others.
In my opinion it is every Kanosis Members right to see how the company they are helping to grow is progressing especially when this information was freeley available at the begining, now the abilty to view sign ups and growth have disappeared could that mean growth has stalled and efforts to grow Kanosis are not working.
All of us need only be concerned with our own uplines and downlines as potential but not guaranteed teambuilding and support. The upline/downline referral relationship is the bonus icing on the cake re: kanosis, not the reason to cut a slice.
Nothing worth having comes easy. Period. And it doesn't matter to each of us individually on a daily basis how many global members there are or where they are. What does matter on a daily basis is the individual's own activities and results as well as the potential for some co-teaming to motivate, share ideas and maybe share some activites to generate shared results.
Anybody looking for a free ride, start getting addresses to send $20 bills to and sit and read your mail.
Or, you can deserve to look people in the eye the rest of your life. Use your noggin and keep your self respect.Many people will have joined Kanosis to earn a residual income which was hyped from the very beginning, to now say it is mearly the icing on the cake may leave many distraught-I do agree that joining Kanosis should only be for the product and not for the downline building. Many will have joined when Kanosis was in pre-launch (sorry I hate this expression) and hyped to be the next big thing. Keep your self respect and don't over hype the Income potential stick to the facts-If Coil/Kanosis is as good as they say your customers will come looking and you wont have to send e-mails to build your downlines.
Looking for a way to focus on a positive activity? Start perusing the largest online classifieds for all the major cities. Look for ads stating business opp or need work, etc. If there's an e-mail address then e-mail say a brief hello and ask permission to tell them about an opportunity. Don't mention kanosis or say too much or it will be spam. If they reply back with "OK" then they just opted-in and it's not spam unless they tell you to stop. Suggested to not overload them with info as it will turn them off. Two members of "my" downline have been doing this and they send an avatar greeting with an invitation to Sparc. They brought in 5 members last three weeks this way, not including 4 from those 5 so far. Just a free idea.
Focus on what we have and where we're going, and what we do have rights to have some say about. Looking for people to join your Business is neccesary to build your family tree/Matrix/Pyramid but try looking for customers as just promoting Kanosis for the Buisness opportunity is nothing more than pyramid selling.
Carefull, its Customers not members this isn't a gifting scheme, or is it.?
There is an Avalanche e-mail scheme ongoing at the moment to spam (I mean promote) Kanosis to new potential's, this of course doesn't work that well and the cost far outweighs any possible return.

From what I'm told the Kanosis forum is fairly upbeat in general, apart from the coil teething problems and some payment processing concerns.
There does however seem to be some sort of opportunity section which promotes a lot of other Internet schemes, this is to be expected as Kanosis could be seen as a feeder for other opportunities/schemes.
As I'm only being spoon fed this info, I cant verify it all at the moment.

Hello HonestIncome and welcome to Matrixwatch.
Regarding Kanosis, it is probably going through a period when the downline builders are struggling to obtain new recruits as the overhyped income opportunity presented during the pre-launch period is struggling to meet expectations.
I have heard rumblings of Kanosis moving away from the Uniclear payments system and now supposedly paying commisions via cheques, which will have its own varity of concerns for members no doubt.
I was also informed of the opportunities section of Kanosis turning into nothing more than a scam section-one member believe it or not was even trying to promote the old chain letter scam that has being doing the rounds since e-mail was invented.
The members of Kanosis who have a use and see value in the software will be the main stay of Kanosis and these are the ones who will make or break it.
Regarding Jim Southworth, we haven't heard from him for ages, maybe he's finished with Kanosis and moved on or is just working in the background developing the software and infrastructure, just a few assumptions though.
Just my opinion based on limited knowledge and a tiny bit of inside info.

That is truely a shame though, because according to Kanosis, Jim is one of the Top 20 on the internet (THE WHOLE INTERNET PEOPLE). Anyway, he must be busy elsewhere, or just ashamed because once again, Matrix Watch was right about another system that will fail.

From Steven R. Hays, Director People Operations and Member of the Board of Directors for Kanosis:
On July 2, 2006 I joined the executive team of Kanosis. However, my path toward this role began as a monthly subscriber to the software. Then, I increased my commitment to the company by investing $10,000.00 (US). A few weeks later I significantly and substantially raised my investment in what I perceive to be a billion dollar company. This investment increase positioned me as the 2nd largest investor in the company.
Today, I serve in an executive role to connect the people to the technology and the technology to the people – which includes all processes, paths and strategies to do this.
To date, I have experienced total transparency with Stephen van Zutphen and his brother-in-law Yiannis (Cypriot for John) Antoniou who together own 80% of the business. Although customer perception and communication is paramount to the success of a company, its pulse is measured by its investors, and there are less than 70 total investors. I have spoken to all but a handful and am reaching out to them all. In doing this, not one investor has ever complained, become irrational or made a brash statement to us. We have provided each investor an open forum to do so.
Major changes have occurred in Kanosis since its formation. Major changes occur in all companies during their first nine months. As of this writing, this company is 9-months old. Are there some people that purport that Kanosis is a scam? A Google search for Exxon or Microsoft with the word scam will provide the same result. But none are a scam. Companies that do business in 95 countries can not do so with unethical or illegal business practices. Remember at the top of this posting that I stated that I am a member of the Board of Directors. We do not respond to the accusations of “arm chair attorneys”.
This does not change our responsibility for ethics, transparency, pursuit of perfection - what once was a goal (pre-launch) is now a reality 9 months later, and we always have been and are a company with pure motives. We are and have been providing good products. And, we had desired to have people to be able to share in the gain. But the sharing comes at a price and a responsibility. Our members, who have elected to be distributors, which means they can earn commissions from inviting people, are required to conduct proper orientation and training and to support those they invite. This was the original premise behind our sharing revenues with those that joined the community and bought the software.
Now that uptake for the software is on the rise - and the company is moving into its viral phase of word-of-mouth advertising and a global “buzz” is beginning to rise where the word on the street is “these people at Kanosis have really developed something revolutionary” - now that we are at a "beginning to walk" phase of our infancy, perhaps more people will elect not to be distributors (earn commissions) and just choose to be subscribers and the whole distributor plan eventually fades away. Is that our goal? No. But that is the trend now.
There is a “lasting” community right now within Kanosis, but is restricted to those that are using CoilSPARC (our product); the other community of people who are trying to “get people to buy” something that they do not even know what they are selling…well this community is not lasting, nor should it. The integrity is in the product. The value is in the community that comes from those that have downloaded CoilSparc, learned the core functionality of the program to the level to have an "ah ha! moment. It is then that one realizes that Kanosis has delivered the best communication platform on the internet and offered as a revolutionary software that changes the paradigm in how people communicate and interact with each other and with their data.
For example, when someone goes to www.kanosis.com to join (to buy) they have a choice of whether to become a distributor and software purchaser or just a software purchaser. This was a change we made at the request of our customers.
Furthermore, in taking the time to position the software to a very large market, which we estimate at over 25 million people globally, the product has a value multiple times its cost. Now that we are nine months old, now the software has proven that it has sufficient value, performance and substance to stand on its own, the software is carrying itself.
Kanosis is an online destination, where technology meets relationships and a virtual community is born. Our software from the inventor’s first vision was a tool for people to improve their interaction people to people and people to data. That means that the software will link people.
Our tool to help people link to one another is CoilSPARC. We think it is positioned as the on-line onramp to the best internet experience ever. Sure, there is a learning curve. The software is revolutionary. In the design process we had to make decisions between “requires learning curve - but result is outstanding” on one hand and "easy to use, no training, intuitive, does what other products do” on the other. We chose to deliver to the world something new, something that requires a little orientation and training...and bam! People have been having “ah ha!" moments and our company is moving forward!
In nine months we have delivered a global VPN, perhaps the most secure environment on the Internet. We’ve demonstrated that CoilSPARC is the most advanced communication platform on the internet. We’ve created an ad free community and have customers in over half the countries on the planet. We still have much work to do...but we’ve come along way from a software inventor, using “borrowed” office space in December 2005, where the first 200customers paid by check or cash into an “Office Depot” style cash box.

Hello Steven and welcome to Matrixwatch.
Thank you for your very informative post and its nice to see a representative of Kanosis take the time to join us.
I have witnessed Kanosis evolve from the very beginning and one thing that I believe has held true is that the original Matrix commision structure of Kanosis is now becoming a secondary incentive and more focus is being placed on the software and community aspect of Kanosis.
Its interesting to look back on the early days when the overhyped Matrix commision structure was in the forefront and was the main reason why the first Kanosis thread was started to discuss the Pyramid Marketing plan.
Many changes have happened since then and although the amount of present Kanosians could largely be a result of the overhyped marketing plan those who joined solely for the cash incentive will have moved on and what you will be left with is a good foundation of customers who have a use for Coil and believe in its future and are not blinded by $$ signs.
Thanks again Steven for taking the time to come here and please feel free to post any Kanosis updates you wish to.
One quick question though.
We seem to have lost touch with Jim Southworth, the Kanosis Technical Evangelist. I don't suppose you could let us know if he is still involved with Kanosis.

Jim Southworth is still a part of Kanosis and has provided brilliant solutions in connecting Kanosis' core technologies to the outside world.
Jim's role has been in delivering connectivity solutions and leveraging his vast knowledge base about overall internet data flow...through this he has (1) provided solutions on multiple levels related to Kanosis' internet within the internet, our Virtual Private network and (2) has provided solutions that are unique to Kanosis with regard to the flow of data in that the Coil brain that powers Kanosis is a central processing point and eminently more sophisticated than a router or switch or a bundled rack of both. The complexity of our technology has required a person of Jim's capability - to plug the outside world into Kanosis. He's done a great job!
Jim continues to provide solutions. From one perspective, regarding the world hearing Jim's name connected to Kanosis: the less you hear the better - meaning that our systems are working perfectly - thanks in large part to his connectivity efforts and solutions.
Jim Southworth and the Kanosis owner/inventor, Stephen van Zutphen maintain a close relationship.

Hi Steven,
How many people are now users of Kanosis? Or more specifically COIL?

Thank you for the update on Jim and I must admit I do miss his contributions.
Hopefully he will stop by in the future if he gets the time.
