no, I didn't do it, I was only playing and recording as the video description says i just thought because it's a game-within-a-game it's much too hidden, would maybe go unnoticed over time. it deserves far more recognition, so i hope it's a well enough teaser  |

Actually their coin plays a big role on their system which is what makes it unique compared to other decentralization systems like freenet. yes but MaidSafeCoin != SafeCoin, although it will be convertible. MaidSafeCoin exists today and is the crowdfunding asset, SafeCoin will be their network-integrated currency. SafeCoin will technically not be based on a blockchain in today's sense, double-spending is solved by other means (through the same deduplication mechanisms that is inherent in the network for all other types of data already anyway). |

I don't know about the rest of projects, they don't convince me.. but Maidsafe does. Maidsafe is extremely legit. You need to research more before you throw these accusations. Lol at "internet is already decentralized". How is the internet decentralized if it requires you to hire servers to hosts basically anything? you are seriously clueless. Maidsafe will x10 in the following months, mark my words. This is a, for once, legit project worth investing in.
Might I add, Maidsafe is OLDER than Bitcoin, started in 2006.
Correct, Maidsafe is legit, and a complete different technology, they don't even build on a blockchain. They just used a blockchain-based coin for some crowdfunding, that's all. The internet is "decentralized" only in theory. The innovation of projects like MaidSafe (and Storj etc) is that they abstract content and services away from physical location and servers (IP addresses and the centralized DNS). I want to watch that one cat video? I don't care if it's hosted on a server called Youtube in California, just stream it to me from other peers, all I need is its ID or a name. Though I wouldn't say it will x10 in the following months. The risk with MaidSafe is obviously that it could be vaporware, exactly because having been in development since 2006 already. Also their security model is not so well understood and proven to work yet by independent auditors. |

There are storj or maidsafe being built for that kind of scenario

MIT Technology Review: A Stanford professor claims to have invented a Bitcoin-like system that can handle payments faster and with more security.
"Stanford professor David Mazières thinks he has a faster, more flexible, and more secure alternative. If Mazières is correct, his technology could make digital payments and other transactions cheaper, safer, and easier—particularly across borders."
Dan Boneh, a Stanford professor who did not work on Mazières’s system but has reviewed it, says that SCP avoids some security limitations of Bitcoin. “The security proposition of Bitcoin is that the people who invested in mining infrastructure can be trusted, but that may not be true,” he says. “Here I can choose for myself who to trust.”

now for *only* USD 289,-  Handbook of Peer-to-Peer NetworkingOffers elaborate discussions on fundamentals of peer-to-peer computing models, networks and applications  Peer-to-peer networking, a disruptive technology for large scale distributed applications, has gained widespread attention due to the successes of peer-to-peer (P2P) content sharing, media streaming, and telephony applications. In addition, a large range of new applications are under development or being proposed. The underlying architectures share features including decentralization, end system resources, autonomy, virtualization, and self-organization. These features constitute the P2P paradigm. Trends in information and network technology such as increased performance and deployment of broadband networking, wireless networking, and mobile devices are synergistic with and reinforce the capabilities of this P2P paradigm. The Handbook of Peer-to-Peer Networking is dedicated to discussions on P2P networks and their applications, thus providing an exhaustive view of the state-of-the-art of the P2P networking field. Written by leading international experts, the volume contains fifty chapters dedicated to the following topics: • Introduction to Peer-to-Peer Networking • Unstructured P2P Overlay Architectures • Structured P2P Overlay Architectures • Search and Query Processing • Incentive Mechanisms • Trust, Anonymity, and Privacy • Broadcast and Multicast Services • Multimedia Content Delivery • Mobile P2P • Fault Tolerance in P2P Networks • Measurement and P2P Traffic Characteristics • Advanced P2P Computing and Networking This comprehensive volume serves as an essential reference for researchers and professionals, The book is also suitable for computer science and engineering students at the advanced undergraduate level or higher who are familiar with networking, network protocol concepts, and basic ideas about algorithms. https://www.springer.com/us/book/9780387097503 |

Thirdly, currently we are producing food and drinking water for more than 10 billion ppl, so there are no food and water scarcity issue, the crap what you see in many places is happening only because of the unequal distribution and extensive wasting.
Exactly that, plus everyone could theoretically produce all the food they need right in their living room, e.g. with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquaponics |

One change that I would implement first and foremost. Is a way to prevent the 51% attack from ever being carried out.
Dont ask me how I would go about it, but its something that should be at the top of EVERYONE's list whos interested in the survivability of Bitcoin longterm. As long as the 51% attack exists .. Bitcoin never stands to become a worldwide dominant currency, because its really not 'trustless' long as 51% attack is possible.
that's one example for a rainbow unicorn in the sky. Without a central authority, 51% is the largest consensus, and thus "the truth" almost by definition in *any* decentralized system. |
