OK I will call it “tokens” from now on.

I’m sad as I’ve been on vacation and completely missed this thread and potentially the reward post in discord over a month ago. I honestly don’t remember if I signed up or not. I’m on this board nearly every day (that I’m not on vacation) seeing what’s going on, so I don’t normally feel the need to go to discord.
I’m sure I wouldn’t be one of the top people, but I could probably host several hundred nodes if there’s a real need, so if many of the 175 don’t show, I’m happy to jump in in their place.
I guess I’ll have to keep a closer eye on Discord in the future.

In case anyone missed it (I didn’t know since I wasn’t in the stages, was sleeping). And @JimCollinson has been told in discord of the mistakes (150 instead of 175) and confusing wording with amounts.

Thanks for the diagram, I wasn’t there either 
What’s the mistake you mention?

I just missed the update on a caption when we bumped up Wave 1 from 150 to 175 people

If I find an office with many computers that can run nodes will the new machines be added to the next wave or to my node count?

They will all count! It’s you, the person, that are in the wave, not your nodes! Hence the need for a Discord ID, you’ll just add in the node manager/launchpad for each new machine you add.

And how are the tokens split among the participants in the waves? Is it already decided or still work ongoing?
For example, wave 1 can opt to up to a million, and it could be split according to the scoreboard, with 5% for #1, 4% for #2, 3% for #3, 2% for #4, 1% for #5 and the rest split evenly? Or any very different approach?
Then wave 2 will have another million but to split among 825 people (and NOT the 175 from wave 1) and wave 3 yet another million for 2000 people NOT including the 1000 ones from previous waves, are those “NOT” correct? Not sure if the circles in the diagram are inclusive or exclusive.
What about the fourth and last circle in the diagram, any more big reward there for the 10k milestone? (not meaning at all I consider all the previous insufficient).
Imagine that with one of the figures of (e)maid like the one @ $130 imagined in the price thread…

@JimCollinson has this worked out. AFAIK it is based on how many test-tokens your nodes earn. Read back a tad for how many tokens are in each wave and which group gets what
So we have to decide when to add new users rather than just adding more nodes for ourselves?
Only users that are “registered” for the beta reward program can participate in getting rewards. Anyone can run nodes though. So you should run nodes for yourself in any stage.
If I got it right there was something about beta testers and how new testers can be added to the later wave of the program. Ask Jim on that

The new users go into the next wave then the rewards double so I’m guessing we have to decide whether to add them as a new user or add their nodes to our count?

That’s correct, each wave is competing for thier own pot only. This pot then gets doubles when the entire combined population of participants hit those targets.
We are still working and tweaking this… but there will be a non-linear distribution, as we want it to be nice and competeitive and reward those putting in the long graft, but also not leave anyone behind.

Ah, you you are decide whether to pool resources as a friend/family group in order to try and hit the top of the leader board?
Interesting strategy!
Yeah, you’d have to figure out if you are better to do that, or aim to get them in the game uniquely, in order to double rewards for everyone!

Difficult decision indeed… But since they said distribution won’t be linear… And there are a bunch of crazy folk in wave 1 it might be more reasonable to provide some resources to wave 2… Will be interesting to see how large some farms will grow until launch

Looks like I guessed MaidSafe’s plans again when I wrote that: “The future is - No Safe, no wave” 
Since I signed up at least 1.5 months ago, I’m not sure - are you referring to the form that was available on autonomi.com, where you had to provide, among other things, information about the size of the expected disk space, the expected number of nodes, as well as the email address and country of the beta network participant?
No Safe, no wave.

Do you care to elaborate on these statements with some details?
I’m unaware of any meaningful technical distinction between how say bitcoin handles inputs/outputs and how safe-network does. bitcoin doesn’t require cryptography, outside of basic hash functions and ownership keys for proving ownership via signatures (source), which safe-network also uses.
Privacy coins like zcash and monero use encryption/decryption for hiding information such as amounts so only the sender and receiver can see them. Early impls of safe-network tokens did also, but I believe that’s been removed now.
I can’t begin to speak for the SEC, but I doubt they would care much about such technical details anyway. They (rightfully?) seem far more concerned with how a given service/offering is presented to the public. What the expectations and contracts/obligations/promises are.
I really love to join but im a noob.
Following this project almost 10 years (got the tshirt)
I just design stuff but have great difficulty just opening up the terminal (mac)
Is there some possibility for me to join? (I had a previous version running years ago with gui so that was possible for me)
