Yobit is down.

Wonderful.

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.

It was posted a few pages ago. Swap will be in March sometime.

Perhaps this info can be stickied in the OP...?

It's actually not a fair comparison to either project.

For one, a lot of people are harping on the time frame for Maid since the crowd sale.  They rewrote the code into Rust creating efficiency.  That should be common knowledge and a given; the only other project that uses Rust, that I am aware of, is ETH...and I am unsure that they were using it before Maid (Maid was using it before Rust's official launch - My twitter feed exploded on that day and I only subscribed to Rust relevant people because of Maid).

SC isn't bad.  But their scope isn't the internet nor is it beyond that of Storj.  That is a better comparison.  Give props to the SC team for what they do  - they deserve it.  But they aren't a Maid competitor.  No one is.  Not even ETH. Maid is a niche project that happens to be really ambitious and I am okay with waiting to see what they do.  They're inventing something.  And the market can do what it wants but they are miles ahead of everyone in what they are trying to create.

I'm already expecting things for summertime.  They should take all the time they need.

You're comparison of SC to Maid is unfair to both projects. 

Your reputation proceeds you.

That.

It's not like the creation of the network is going to instantly create billions of coins.  It's going to take a lot of time and a lot of users for those coins to be created.   It is also worth noting that once the network is moving along, a lot of coins are going to be caught in the Safe ecosystem, trading their value for real world use such as storage or App access (micropayments).

It's sounds exciting and I am looking forward to it succeeding.  It's a new way of interneting.

Do each step carefully and with caution.  You don't want anyone to get your priv key.

It is safe there as long as you control that BTC address and Priv key.

You can withdraw at anytime in the future but if you choose to keep it there then you are going to need to pay attention to when the Safecoin conversion occurs.  No one knows how this will occur but it will likely involve sending Maidsafe coin to a specified address and then withdrawing Safecoin.  Don't want to miss that.

Omniwallet is currently the only option.  I have used it with success.  Just follow all of the necessary steps.  That said, keeping it with your BTC address until the transfer isn't a bad idea unless you want to send to an exchange.

Perhaps they should be stickied in the OP?

Patience. They're inventing things.  I think the price can do that but the market has players that make speculation like that unpredictable.

I'm not not buying is all I have to say.

The Maidsafe Dev update occurs roughly every Tuesday.  Your question is roughly the question that is addressed.  I recommend going to the Safe forums ( https://forum.safenetwork.io/ ) and subscribing.

That said, The MVP is close but won't be released this week.  Soon...(happy dance)

That's actually a ridiculously cool splash screen.

One of the most actively developed coins in crypto.  Check the dev updates on the Maidsafe forum for further specifics.

Idiots on a trollbox spouting.  Nothing more than rumours.

Focus should be placed on the devs here and their work...which is still undervalued in my opinion.

I doubt that you are a founderfag so shut the eff up and read (=try to understand) what is being said.

That said, relax.  Pronoun posturing on the internet has a time and place.  You should know that based on the rhetoric that you are using.  It's not funny when communities are not amenable.  Malleability...it's also a social strategy.

Respect to John Conner - who can read/write/manifest a language that I can't and then put it into the world.  Major props to the VNL community....

Rumours of Drop box are swirling.  What's going on over there in Slack?

Yeah.  Cryptsy is the problem, not SILK. There is an interesting theory on reddit that suggests that Vern lost a lot of BTC and is trying to get it back by creating arb situations with alts (that's why the prices are a bit different/higher over there). 

Pretty much, I would avoid trading there unless you want difficulty withdrawing.  Limiting withdrawals allows them to retain the illusion of liquidity while they try to make it back. 

My bold.  That is presuming that every current SILK holder goes through the swap, correct?  If not everyone SILK wallet participates, then the number could be less if I am not mistaken, n'est-ce pas?

So it should be 44,000,000 less than or equal to will be the initial money supply.

Might be an irrelevant point but wonderings occur.

Nice Incorporation, SLievensDRKSLK, by the by...

That's a pretty impressive effort on the WP.  Skimmed through it; will read more in depth when I wake up, but wanted to toss out props. 

Still reading.

I think Slack is awesome for active dev/investors but not quite sold on needing to subscribe just yet.  It just seems like superfluous talk right now.

I kind of do want to read the white paper though.  But I can wait. 

I like that the dev is open and has been working for a year. I'm not sure that I can be convinced that there isn't potential here.  That is saying a lot because broken coins never come back...or do they?
