Probably hijacking your thread @dirvine, but I wondered whether it is feasible to port the linux version of the future SAFE client to Synology´s DSM. I am not a technical guy but from what I see that shouldn´t be all too complicated and it would make it easy as pie for custom users to get started with the network. With the DiskStations thousands of users already have potent hardware to support the network.
Of course if it´s a precompiled version i.e. by Maidsafe, most users here wouldn´t consider using it. However, if we think about it as a strategy to market SAFE to end users with capabilities to provide ressources to the network, I could imagine this as a very productive approach. Without knowing it, I guess it should be possible to compile the client on DSM as well (at least I don´t see why it shouldn´t work). What do you think about that?
