[ANN] IPO of MaidSafe: Entering the Future of the Decentralized Internet

[zeeman]

I'm sure this is nothing to worry about...

https://twitter.com/Snowden/status/807220051002671104

"UK-based tech is now unsafe. All drafts of #IPBill "Code of Practice" require big companies offer Gov a chance to backdoor it, pre-launch."

Yikes. Will MaidSafe be moving to Zug?

Maidsafe is not a big company. It's also not a communications provider but a software company that makes open source software. It's also in the link provided by Snowden:



These rules don't apply to Maidsafe. but Icebreaker likes to troll a bit now and then so we know where it's coming from

Using both Ethereum and SAFE. Quite cool.

Thanks for the clarification!

Safecoin isn't implemented yet. But Safecoin will be a form of so called "structured data". An external dev did some tests which showed that 1 single group in SAFE can handle over 100 transactions per second.



1 group of nodes shares a routing table and is responsible for a particular range of the addresses in the network. So it might be responsible for Safecoin nr. 100 to 200. In this test it's shown that handling a lot of transactions by 1 group shouldn't be a problem. The good news is that in SAFE these numbers scale if more groups are formed. This was a local test, and of course there's more structured data that the group is responsible for. But this is very promising. You could multiply the number of groups with the number of transactions per second. So if we have 1000 users in 50 groups they might be able to handle 5000 TPS. I really can't wait until we have test-Safecoin to test all this stuff for real  .

100 transactions per sec !!!are we living in still in Stone age
1000 transactions per sec can be done easily ,,,can prove it

It is new project, fast actually. i doubt bitcoin can handle 100 tx in 1 sec.

[zeeman]

Quite a long update. TL;DR

- The Vaults we can run from home are tested again (they have new routing in place called 'Disjoint Groups').
- Lot of updates and refactors to the code.
- The community/Maidsafe sponsored SAFE Browser is approved and will be part of the official repo.
- Progress on the "authenticator" which will replace the current Launcher.

How completed are the translations of the mentioned languages ? I could definitely help If It's needed , should I submit a pull request on the Github repo or simply post in the forums ?

Quite complete I think, but all help is welcome because the new "Launcher" will be build in the Beaker browser. So yes please, join the forum and contact the folks who are doing translations right now.

I can do the Hindi translation should you need.Which forum can we get this info from ?

That would be great!

You want to download his project from Github as a .zip:



The instructions are here. I did some translations as well and used Notepad++ as an editor. Works quite well:

So would be great if you could help out.

Here's the Chinese version for Windows, looks nice:



Use this link if you want The Launcher in different languages. It connects you to the Maidsafe Alpha 1 network where you can test several SAFE features like publishing and browsing websites and storage.

100 transactions per second per user

And this is only limited because of the client, the vaults can handle vastly more if needed.

Worth reading this explanation of SafeCoin tx rate which estimates about 40K tx / s / group: https://safenetforum.org/t/profiling-vault-performance/10331/47

Still early days for this, especially given the work currently underway to improve the client side (which is the current bottleneck for tx rate).

Thanks will start working on it

The Beaker Browser is created by Paul Frazee. It's a browser optimized and specialized for distributed websites on networks like SAFE and IPFS. Maidsafe and the SAFE community funded a developer to fork the beaker browser to work with SAFE. This process is almost done and Maidsafe will bundle the browser in upcoming releases. For SAFE it's called: The SAFE Beaker Browser.




Here's a presentation by Paul if you want to learn more about Beaker:

Who translated the Chinese? Bad translation, they need a pro translator, not just a suck translator

This is a community driven effort. Maidsafe will probably hire a pro for their upcoming releases as the whole Launcher got removed and will become part of the SAFE browser. Until that moment people are putting in some efforts to translate the current Launcher so everybody can try the alpha 1 network in their own language. If you spot errors feel free to come up with a pull request on GitHub. all info in this topic.

I don't speak any Chinese at all so I have no clue

I understand that we will be able to trade MaidSafeCoin for Safecoins once everything is functional but I want to know how much coins were sold during the ICO ? I don't think It's 450 million otherwise farming wouldn't make any sense.
Is the website subject to translations too ? I can do that If It's helps but I can't find the source code for it to make a pull request. IMO , the project is doing just fine but there is definitely a lack of advertisement , they could run a signature campaign and bounties-translations programs  and that would've make it much better.

Yes, Maidsafecoins can be traded for Safecoin on a 1-on-1 basis when Farming and Safecoin are implemented and tested. Each Safecoin has it's own address in 32-bit so the max number is 4.3 billion in total. During the crowdfund something went wrong with the mastercoin protocol that should've prevented the creation more than 430 million coins. So due to an error 450 million Maidsafecoins were created before the "stop" signal/transaction got into a block. So a bit more than 10% of the maximum number of possible "Safecoins" is out there. Farming won't create new coins that fast is my expectation. Especially when more people try to farm them by providing resources to the network. It will bring down the Farming Reward per MB of data. So the network should balance out independent from the price of a Safecoin. We'll have test_Safecoin tested for quite some time before the real thing is implemented. Farming will be tested as well.

At this moment no translations going for the website as far as I know. But Maidsafe formed a joint venture in Hong Kong this year so who knows what's coming.

Is there ia local desktop wallet available for MAID ?


Also, I am not following the news with MAID, and get confused with what
I am reading about the new safiecoin

Could i get a short brief about what is the link between the 2 coins?

thanks

There isn't for the moment but you could store your Maidsafecoins in any bitcoin address that you control its private keys or you could store them at Omniwallet which should give you the ability to see the omni tokens inside your bitcoin address and that's something electrum and the other wallets don't do.
When the Safe network is finally released , you will be able to trade your Maidsafecoins for Safecoins with 1:1 rates. In other words Safecoins is the real thing and didn't get launched yet and Maidsafecoins is what people bought from the ICO but they do have the same value and you will be able to trade them once Safecoins are created.
