Part of the beta process could also be to test the MAID → SAFE conversion.
How about a scenario whete the maid block chain is frozen at a certain block prior to launch and the initial conditions of the network are seeded with safecoin purses (“wallets” are soooo last year BTC…) that can only be decrypted with the private maid key. The location where these are stored could be an MD formed from the public MAID address.
This process could be tested during the beta resets. After all tests pass and all systems go, the network launch would then be a final beta reset to commence the 3-day party in Ayr? @zoki already has hotel reservations…
