Just added today! Anyone else notice this? Not much volume so far. This is actually a coin with something unique to offer for a change. Might be worth picking up a few.

i saw their tweet that announced it yesterday

but. what is the unique of this coin?

Essentially they are creating the decentralized Internet. Maid or Safe coin is the currency of network.

cool, the only problem i have with this coin, is the name, is it just me or are there others thinking the same?

i love that project, decentralized internet is cool
just bought some coins from poloniex
thanks for pointing out about this coin ;D

The name would be great if it was a crypto meant for a house cleaning service, but yeah, it's not ideal. The bigger issue I think is that the company behind the coin has been working on their decentralized internet thingy for years now, and still don't really have much to show for it -- besides a lot of ipo money being spent. And this maidsafe coin.

I bought some too.  The way I figure it is that it will either be worth nothing in a couple years or if they actually manage to do what they say, it will be worth 100 times what it is now.  I feel the same way about NXT and Ethereum.  All three of these are very aspirational.  If they come through, I can see how it will be big.

I am especially interested to see if MaidSafe with a totally encrypted and decentralized internet can break the great fire wall of China.  If so, it is going to be crazy.  Free public speech in China would be a game changer and once they got a taste of it, they wouldn't be able to stop. 

Anyone happen to remember what the ipo prices were again? I recall there were two sets, one for btc people and one for mastercoin. I just don't remember the numbers.

17k per btc I think

Thanks. I see this in their ann thread:

Backers will receive 17,000 MaidSafeCoins per bitcoin sent to the SAFE Network Bitcoin exodus address or 3400 MaidSafeCoins per mastercoin

But the confusing thing is that mastercoin people got the better deal, but I don't recall what the going rate for mastercoin was at the time. And to confuse matters even more, they had that 40% bonus for the 1st week, and since it sold out like in 2 days, assume 40% was tacked on, or is the 17K amount already including that?

Basically I just want to figure out where may be a good buy-in point, as I expect a certain number of ipo people will sell their coins if they enter profit territory. But to know where that is, it'd be helpful to know what they bought them at.
