Yet another kickstart? Or do you think investors take a second chance push even more money in the company without payout?

I don't try to offend anyone here, And I definitivly not "pissed at Jolla". But whatever you, or other, may think I am a realist not a teenager with unrealistic dreams.

It's market got damn. If you want sailfishos on phone they need a HW partnet. Maybe some russian upcoming orindian or whatever. But not Jolla itself.
They just recently 'open sourced' (even some jolla guys were surprised to learn that) their business strategy/model - apple pay/google pay way (or steam way, or paypal way, or...) and it is risky, banks don't let go easily:

Source on business model claims:
Jolla’s regional partnership strategy is not just about growing Sailfish usage via partnerships; it is also negotiating revenue share deals with partner companies — so it will get a cut of any transactions made via its platform. That’s the core Jolla business model.

“What we do is we integrate the payment solution to the operating system and from each transaction, whether it’s ecommerce or media purchase or any other purchase we will have a small revenue share from the business,” says Saarnio. “That’s the main revenue source for Sailfish OS.”
