Pretty exciting to see that MaidSafe has integrated AT2 into the SAFE Network!

Really exciting news!! Great to see the beginnings of the MVP come together.

They have tried/and are still working through this issue. Debate has ranged from asserting MaidSafe’s rights to the Safecoin trademark to changing the name. Here are links to some of the discussions on this that have taken place on the forum:

Which website are you talking about? Hopefully not the fake one (https://safecoin.org/). If you want to get more technical, do read the weekly updates (I think I’ve already provided a link to one somewhere above in this thread).

Also, I’d recommend checking out the forum (https://safenetforum.org/) where there are a lot of in-depth technical discussions. The weekly updates and the various discussions on the forum are very transparent on what’s working well along with what are still significant challenges that they are dressing and how. The MaidSafe devs often post RFCs to get community perspective on how to tackle some of the meaty issues. Here’s an example of one such RFC (https://safenetforum.org/t/rfc-data-types-refinement/30508/1...).

Plus, it’s worth visiting the project’s DevHub too (https://hub.safedev.org/)

Incentivization is a part of the product in that Proof of Resource dictates that Farmers (I.e. those who provide resources to the SAFE Network in the form of bandwidth, hard drive space, CPU, etc.) are rewarded for doing so with Safecoin. In a sense it is similar to how POW compensated bitcoin miners. This form of incentivization is autonomously governed by the Network itself, and has nothing to do with paying for promotions. I’d recommend taking a look at the SAFE Network primer to understand more (https://primer.safenetwork.org/)

That’s weird. Could you provide a link to the white paper that says that about Safecoin? I’ve never heard of that document.

Please bear in mind that there is another project (started after MaidSafe) that decided to use the Safecoin name. I think it’s a scam. It has nothing to do with MaidSafe or the SAFE Network. This is the website for that project (https://safecoin.org/). Once again, it is completely unrelated to MaidSafe.

Great suggestion. Podcasting would definitely be a great and feasible use case. Given that SAFE provides a perpetual web, it could very well be a killer app.

That's odd seeing as (somewhat to the chagrin of many SAFE Network community members) the MaidSafe team generally does not participate in conferences. Maybe you're confusing SAFE with something like Substratum or Skycoin or some such...

Also, MaidSafe consistently shares a dev update every week Perhaps now's a great opportunity for you to read up on the current state of development. Here's the most recent update: https://safenetforum.org/t/safe-network-dev-update-april-30-...
