Is it possible to farm MAID now? or are we waiting for a release?
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.

Here's the latest Dev-Update: MaidSafe Dev Update 23rd February 2016Follow the proces on GitHub/Maidsafe. Join the forum as well. The installers will show up later this week! SAFE Network ForumSo what can you expect in the next few days? Firstly, and with your help, we will be testing the Launcher and releasing an application that demonstrates key features of the SAFE Network. This will not only represent the largest field test (if as many people as we hope participate) of the SAFE Network to date, it will also provide some essential real world feedback on several key (and some world first) areas: - Account creation (self authentication) and login;
- Data storage and retrieval;
- Running demo applications against the Launcher API;
- A demo application enabling the hosting of SAFE websites;
At the request of the engineers this testing phase will not enable the community to run their own vaults at this point, rather they will be able to store and retrieve data via the demo application on our test network. This allows the client to be tested in a stable environment, one without churn (nodes leaving and joining the network). It also enables other projects that people are currently developing or wish to begin development on to progress as we progress, allowing everyone the opportunity to move forward together. The next phase after the development team are happy with the way the network is behaving in this stable environment will be to add churn into the mix and get the MVP into everyone's hands, enabling you to all run vaults from home. The team do not want to sign off on the MVP until this extensive round of testing has been completed and for this we need large scale participation from the community.

You forgot to post the most important part : So later this week you will be able to download the Launcher and also a Demo app as binaries from Github that will connect to a network of around one hundred nodes that the Dev team will be closely monitoring. A post to the forum will provide details of where to download the software and a link to documentation outlining how to set up, connect and actively take part in the testing. The devs have verbally confirmed that the MAIDSafe Beta is launching this week! We'll be able to test a minimal version of the product!

Are these devs always like that(I mean sticking to the initial plans and going according schedule)?

They are just doing the first tests now.
My analysis is that they will run into a wall and realize they have to make some fundamental changes and rewrite the hole damn thing. Release maybe in 2020.
Their CEO is like a stubborn dinosaur. He is very hungry, but is too slow to catch anything.

Just a question, coinmarketcap reports there is 450 million MAID but there is only 7.3 million for sale on Polo and only a few thousand on Rex. What is the actual number of tradeable coins on the market?

Loving the price movement thus far. 20k+ should be doable. Glad I picked mine up around 8K!

It's 10 years since the company was founded this week.Most of the time was about doing research, getting patents and find investors. Active development started in 2014 after the crowdfunding. The software is already re-written in Rust.So was the architecture in 2015. There was a POC in 2008 written in Phyton as explained in this google Techtalks videoSo your analysis is based on a lack of knowledge where you don't really have a clue what you are talking about. That's okay, free speech isn't it? Although I have to say you were right about those 10 years. Good job! The test-network goes live this week but feel free to test it somewhere in 2020. I think you might be a bit late...

Even IF they get it to work somehow on a small scale will it ever scale up in a big way without major changes and years of coding...
OH and BTW has any BIG tech companies been interested in MAID? Like for example Microsoft and IBM has been very interested in Ethereum. I think that also means something. The lack of interest from major parties.
Look at that ETH GO MAN !! Dinosaur Bitcoin soon rides behind!

I own Ethereum as well, I'm there with you And about Microsoft and IBM investing (time and effort that is) in Ethereum, that's really great. They have a technology out and big companies join them. But to me that doesn't mean that much. The Blockchain (which breaks at 7 Ts/sec.) is a hype at the moment. We've seen hypes before. How about all these televisions and their 3D-glasses? Maidsafe is indeed brand new tech. But we'll find out how it scales in the coming weeks. Lot of people ready to join the testnet I think. We'll be at thousands in weeks when people are asked to run Vaults at home.

You mean like in the beginning when people run Vault at home when Safecoin is build in? Hard to say, the reward per MB is depending on the amount of available space in the network. The network tries to have 20% of free space all the time. So when more people run Vaults and the free space goes to 30% or 40% the reward in Safecoin per MB. will go down. This way the network should balance itself out. David (founder Maidsafe) wants everybody to have a fair chance to farm some Safecoin. So even poor people that can't afford to buy it should be able to run a Vault some time and earn their coins to use them in the network. This is far different from most alt-coins.

just watched the intro video about this coin. Can someone explain to me in a nutshell why my data would be safer in this network? where would it actually be stored, on another guys computer who I dont know instead of a centralized server?
Thx!
