Im glad this thread was started.
Maidsafe doesnt have a presence much on BTT and Id like to know more.
Currently my knowledge and position is:
1. Maidsafe has been around for ages and ages (over 10 years iirc)
2. It has had many rounds of investment
3. It is not based on a blockchain and whether Maidsafe will eevn work is uncertain
4. The price is going up cause of a) the ETH effect and b) an upcoming Maidsafe beta
I think Maidsafe is a very creative and ambitious project BUT:
- I'm not confident they can pull it off
- between IPFS, Ethereum, ring sigs, blockchain nameserver tech and the rest I dunno if Maidsafe has a place anymore - that ship might have already sailed.
-when I hear Maidsafe devs talking to Chris Ellis and other hosts things always sound fuzzy.
Q. What peer reviews, crytographical or otherwise, has Maidsafe had?
Id be curious to hear how Maidsafe supporters respond to these statements. I remain open-minded.
Thanks.
Maidsafe smells like NXT.
Yet another hype-driven platform-as-a-platform service portal. A complex solution in search of some problem to solve.
SIA and Storj are doing the distributed cloud drive thing with blockchains, so you know it works.
ETH and Rootstock can do whatever operations you want done to those data layers.
Why do we need Maidsafe again? Is something wrong with TOR and i2p and VPNs?
I get the pumper mindset at work here. Buy the rumor, sell the news!
Just don't be left holding the Maidsafe bag over the next 10 years, as they prepare the shipping version.
