Topic: [ANN] IPO of MaidSafe:  Entering the Future of the Decentralized Internet - page 3. (Read 579765 times)

to note: MaidSafe is the company; Safe Network is the product.

So, the Safe Network is grounded in generic concepts of Privacy; Security; and Freedom. Those will appeal to mainstream, as they solve many problems. Those strengths are designed to be a counterbalance to the problems that the current internet suffers from; having learned lessons from the old, the developers are looking develop something very new to solve those differences.

There are clearly problems with data security; with privacy; with freedom of expression.
The solution is to empower the user, rather than indulge the greed of others as if big is better.

There are a lot more problems that Safe Network can solve - one is loss of data. The Safe Network's ambition is pay once, retain forever. It's a different environment as a serverless autonomous network but there are great advantages. Even if all it becomes is a backdrop for data storage the difference it will make is huge.

While there are some detractors and interests that are not aligned; while the old, will resist change; and while those who exploit users for their data, will resist strongly.. I would suggest that progress is inevitable.

Power corrupts and the most powerful resist change most strongly.. but the individual users need something different; something better.
The power that leeches from the opportunity that the original internet promised, is undermining itself.. as is always the way with corruption, the tide turns because they push away those they exploit.

"Freedom of expression, control of personal data, private and secure communications; and a whole new economy." - These are concepts that truely matter, if we are to have a better world. We cannot expect the current internet to provide better than it is designed to, there are fundamental problems with the design that work against everyone's better interest.

So, yes I think it can go mainstream in a big way.. yes, I think the most powerful actors will resist loosing their vice like on the current normal .. but I think users deserve better.

Also, given the forum we are on, I will note that the quality and consistency of delivery from the MaidSafe developers, outclasses every other project that is remotely crypto related. I would expect anyone looking for what real world outputs can follow now from what crypto-currency and crypto-assets had promised, will want in because frankly crypto has under-delivered.. there is a lot of opportunity for developers here too; a large part of crypto's problem is the PoW problem energy in a world anxious about sustainability - and willingly PoS to work won't make that happen either.. and Safe Network is a really simple solution to all that interest. Yet, that is just one aspect.

The Safe Network is so much more.. that it has a token in MAID that will be exchanged 1:1 for safecoin on the network, is incidental. The real prospect is in the utility.

A better internet - yes, I think that can be mainstream!

Did anyone here have their MAID tokens on OpenLedger and have them locked up?

I'm still trying to regain access to them, but OpenLedger seems to have closed shop (temporarily?) and gone away.

Thanks @davidpbrown, do you think MaidSafe can break into the mainstream?
You know, there is nothing wrong in project not commonly used, but project needs to be commonly used to make a difference (to help build a better world)

Yes, it's very much alive. It's the only project that now holds my interest.

They are making solid progress as you can see in the weekly updates at
https://safenetforum.org/c/development/updates/19

The roadmap show the depth of the project and the milestones to date.
https://safenetwork.tech/roadmap/

This is not just another copycoin project, far more ambitious and rooted in principal not profit.
It's unfortunate perhaps there are not more markets but most in the know are holding and there's little added value from the pump and dump crowd. Investors looking for real projects can see what this is clearly enough.

Also for the more tech savvy watch the Github for signs of just how alive.. though that repository does not include all the devs background it's a good starting point.
https://github.com/maidsafe/

 

Is this coin still alive? I know only it was delisted every exchange where I stored it :/
Then I forgot of it although it was so promising
Could you confirm  state of this project?

No joke.. MAID has been undervalue for long time..
It's up and down but that's a nice new uplift.
I don't know more about this but the obvious is that having not had a good option on brokerage there is one now; so, perhaps those who could not buy are doing so. It's position is up to 123 but again that is well below where it should be considering what clutter of other projects are above that line.


and of course it's possible there are new developments that bring us even closer to new testnet. Certainly real world events are calling more and more for options that provide the individual privacy; security; and freedom.. it's the future.. just have to wait a while. Quality and complexity take a while to ensure they are delivering robust solution.

today when most of cryptocurrency in red coulour i saw this project in green colour



did i miss something on this project ? a big updates maybe or something else that push the price up
thanks

but your opinion is of no value.. looking at your profile replies.. its just noise.
You are useful only for bumping threads..

For those who are interested and perhaps tired of the forum here being full of noobs..

The main Safe Network forum is at https://safenetforum.org/

See also the overview at https://safenetwork.tech/

"The progress that Safe Network is making is clear for those who care about privacy; security; and freedom"

I guarantee that you are going to be using that same mantra in 10 years time   

Clueless noobs "say" nothing of value.. just like Government too often 
but useful for bumping threads..

There is room enough for all projects.. and in this space too would be good to see any competition but this is not a blockchain project like every other copy coin in /alt


The progress that Safe Network is making is clear for those who care about privacy; security; and freedom.

The weekly updates evidence that clearly https://safenetforum.org/c/development/updates/19

The Roadmap too shows solid progress https://safenetwork.tech/roadmap/

As someone else stated this is a research project,which is fine, but do not expect your average investor to have to wait years and years for any type of return. I bought in 2016, thinking back i exchanged about 5 btc for maidsafe when btc was about $300.. not the best investment i have ever made..thankfully i had enough bitcoin to play around with in those days, but i gave up and sold maidsafe in 2019.. only one wallet then, a very user unfreindly omniwallet, and i dont think much has changed.

Safe Network Dev Update - October 29, 2020
https://safenetforum.org/t/safe-network-dev-update-october-29-2020/32847



 

Thanks for the idea.. cross posted to the forum at https://safenetforum.org/t/community-driven-exchange-listing-proposal/32391/123

Hi Maidsafe hodlers  

It's been a while (since genesis)..

I've noticed that maidsafe still doesn't have any wallet support besides https://www.omniwallet.org

I also noticed that https://www.coinomi.com has Omnilayer support and you can hold Omni in coinomi wallet.

Coinomi did not add maidsafe asset under the omnilayer "base chain" and according to their listing page (https://www.coinomi.com/en/listing/request/) they require a "listing fee" of an unknown amount
 ("What is the fee you would pay (in BTC) to have your token integrated into Coinomi? Please note that submissions with too low fees will not receive a response.").

I do not plan to pay for a listing fee because I haven't transacted with maidsafe for a couple of years.

If anyone here cares to lift this issue and would like to make a good deed to maidsafe and take care of maid listing in Coinomi wallet, I don't think the fee should be high since coinomi already has the base chain and Omni support which should make the maid listing an "easy job".

What do you think ?



p.s, As a small gesture I will donate 50$ in Lightning Network to the person that takes care of it.

An introductory guide to the world's first fully autonomous data and communications network

https://primer.safenetwork.org/

Major changes since last update:

    Sections split when they grow large but no longer merge
    Arrival of BLS-DKG encryption for authentication and multisig transactions
    Data Chain replaced with SectionProofChain
    Implementation of conflict-free data types (CRDTs)
    Implementation of asynchronous trustworthy transfers (AT2) allowing deprecation of PARSEC consensus algorithm
    Implementation of SectionProofChains and deprecation of Data Chains
    New data types Map, Sequence and Blob replace MutableData, AppendOnlyData and ImmutableData

Technological progress is a perpetual process of automation and abstraction. Difficult and complex tasks are made simple by software and machines until they are completely taken for granted. Technology moves on, taking down new blockers in the path to progress as it goes. A good example of this is cloud computing, where once complex server administration tasks have been replaced, from the point of view of the consumer, by point-and-click.

The SAFE (Secure Access For Everyone) Network takes this further, automating the entire network of interconnected machines, making it autonomous, secure, anonymous and capable of  storing, protecting and delivering data without any human involvement at all.

The SAFE Network is the vision of MaidSafe, a Scottish software company working in the field of decentralized computer networking. It is an autonomous peer-to-peer network created by linking together users' computers and smartphones that's designed to solve many of the current technical, managerial and societal problems with centralized networks: a lack of privacy and data security, censorship and the massive consolidation of control by a few powerful actors.

(In case this sounds familiar, members of MaidSafe acted as advisers for HBO’s Silicon Valley TV series in which a startup tries to reinvent the Internet!)

The Network is ‘trustless’, with no central point of control and no single point of failure. With connectivity and security taken care of, the Network is simple from the point of view of developers, with no need to worry about low-level storage, networking, backups and computing resources. For people using the Network to store and share data and messages the burden of ensuring the security of precious information would be drastically reduced.

Anyone with a connected device can join the network anonymously (subject to a resource test) as a provider, and anyone can use the network to store data or peruse public information on it. The Network is thus a platform on which new digital worlds can be constructed.

This guide outlines how the SAFE Network is constructed to achieve these aims. While it is somewhat technical in places, it's intended very much as an overview, and even those with very little technical knowledge should be able to gain a good working understanding of the SAFE Network. For those requiring more depth, there are plenty of pointers as to where they can find the relevant information.
