so will there be a good chance to mine up quite a few if you're one of the intial vaults?

I own Ethereum as well, I'm there with you  

And about Microsoft and IBM investing (time and effort that is) in Ethereum, that's really great. They have a technology out and big companies join them. But to me that doesn't mean that much. The Blockchain (which breaks at 7 Ts/sec.) is a hype at the moment. We've seen hypes before. How about all these televisions and their 3D-glasses? Maidsafe is indeed brand new tech. But we'll find out how it scales in the coming weeks. Lot of people ready to join the testnet I think. We'll be at thousands in weeks when people are asked to run Vaults at home.  

Oh I would like to be wrong as I am invested in MAID, but the reality is they are still really far from done. Even IF they get it to work somehow on a small scale will it ever scale up in a big way without major changes and years of coding...

OH and BTW has any BIG tech companies been interested in MAID? Like for example Microsoft and IBM has been very interested in Ethereum. I think that also means something. The lack of interest from major parties.

Look at that ETH GO MAN !! Dinosaur Bitcoin soon rides behind!

So you're invested eh ?   So why the FUD ?   

It's 10 years since the company was founded this week.

Most of the time was about doing research, getting patents and find investors. Active development started in 2014 after the crowdfunding.

The software is already re-written in Rust.So was the architecture in 2015.

There was a POC in 2008 written in Phyton as explained in this google Techtalks video


So your analysis is based on a lack of knowledge where you don't really have a clue what you are talking about. That's okay, free speech isn't it? Although I have to say you were right about those 10 years. Good job! The test-network goes live this week but feel free to test it somewhere in 2020. I think you might be a bit late...    

You forgot to post the most important part :


The devs have verbally confirmed that the MAIDSafe Beta is launching this week! We'll be able to test a minimal version of the product!

Are these devs always like that(I mean sticking to the initial plans and going according schedule)?

Here's the latest Dev-Update:

MaidSafe Dev Update 23rd February 2016

Follow the proces on GitHub/Maidsafe.

Join the forum as well. The installers will show up later this week! SAFE Network Forum

So later this week you will be able to download the Launcher and also a Demo app as binaries from Github that will connect to a network of around one hundred nodes that the Dev team will be closely monitoring. A post to the forum will provide details of where to download the software and a link to documentation outlining how to set up, connect and actively take part in the testing.

So what can you expect in the next few days? Firstly, and with your help, we will be testing the Launcher and releasing an application that demonstrates key features of the SAFE Network. This will not only represent the largest field test (if as many people as we hope participate) of the SAFE Network to date, it will also provide some essential real world feedback on several key (and some world first) areas:

• Account creation (self authentication) and login;
• Data storage and retrieval;
• Running demo applications against the Launcher API;
• A demo application enabling the hosting of SAFE websites;

At the request of the engineers this testing phase will not enable the community to run their own vaults at this point, rather they will be able to store and retrieve data via the demo application on our test network. This allows the client to be tested in a stable environment, one without churn (nodes leaving and joining the network). It also enables other projects that people are currently developing or wish to begin development on to progress as we progress, allowing everyone the opportunity to move forward together. The next phase after the development team are happy with the way the network is behaving in this stable environment will be to add churn into the mix and get the MVP into everyone's hands, enabling you to all run vaults from home. The team do not want to sign off on the MVP until this extensive round of testing has been completed and for this we need large scale participation from the community.

when will we get an update today

It isn't possible to farm right now and it won't be until the official launch of the Safe Network.  That won't be for some months.  Right now, we are anticipating the release of Beta, which will essentially allow users to connect to the Beta Safe App and start testing how it all works out.  It's essentially a testnet and will be a valuable part of the development process.

Is it possible to farm MAID now? or are we waiting for a release?
