Hello! I am a full stack web developer and crypto investor. I am hoping to be able to produce decentralized web applications and potentially mobile apps? I’m still looking around for something that is working to the point where I could put something up on it.
I also run a burning man camp, I make real work games, snowboard, spin poi, learn japanese, do woodworking, and frequently run out of time.
Hello my name is Lowell, I was scouring the internet for a dlt database solution for security purposes. I read articles mostly saying that the way sql and all dbases run queries that it would be slow and cumbersome to use dlt technologies to do so. Of course I stumbled on SafeNetwork. I thought :“brilliant concept.”
So here I am reading all the comments. Not so much worried about marketing, mass adoption and the token price. That will will come when value is created and realized.
My question is using this platform, would I be able to just get rid of a mysql all together and just use a flat file to store user names, and profile info? My team is working on a social business directory (mainly). Keep in mind I’m not a developer. Just a dreamer who doesn’t like being tracked and spied upon.
Love the project and will spend some time here. Also would like to mention the Safe Network team are busy and may not be able to respond to a lot of the endless mind chatter. I would advise to talk amounst yourselfs and not direct questions for immediate response toward the development team, but post as an idea worth considering. The very reason why I’m keeping my project under raps unit beta.
Thanks for reading, I appreciate you all!!
HI,
I’m new here, wanting to start farming… 
Hello there,
My name is Daffy…like Daffy duck…I am a System Admin…a Linux fanatic and also crypto enthusiast. I read whitepapers for fun. I am deeply interested in this project because I get that warm fuzzy feeling after reading all the helpful stuff provided by this community. I’d like to be a part of this.
Hello I am Jon Bartlow and I have recently started learning about crypto currency and block chains. A friend recommended this service and it seems like a great idea!
Can’t wait to become part of Alpha and help make this come to life.
I also design website/web applications and mobile apps for a living.
Hello, I am Bertrand Degoy. I have begun with computers in the early 70’. Being a former naval engeener, I had many opportunities to study computer science and develop systems, most of it related to data management and AI. Now I am retired from the sea world, I manage DnC. I am a very new beginner with blockchain and advanced data management. I hope I will be able to help.

I’m an artist and lead guitarist for the American rock band Losing September.
I’m excited about the potential of MaidSafe to connect people around the world on an safe and unfiltered platform.
Peace.
Hi everyone, I’m Brian Link aka RWNB and I am new to cryptocurrency by just over a month now and I believe it’s the future but I also know not every coin and concept will last into the future so I looked for coins with good names and good concepts, and MAID is in my top 5.
I am currently a school bus driver and part time radio guy who would love to own my own station at some point and tech and website hosting development is an interest as well. I hope to farm some of my hard drive space and think it’s a cool idea.
I have been sharing my cryptocoin items on my facebook and personal website. Well I’m just getting started with MaidSafe so again hello from Wichita, Kansas USA!!
Hi all! Been following project since maid release. Very excited about mind breaking tech. Been creeping for long time but finally signed up. Glad to be here.
Just a random stay-at-home spouse type charged with diversifying our risk and investing where & when appropriate. Been looking into safecoin for some time now and am really excited for its future.
Hey all!
bruh here. I’m a Game Dev enthusiast, hobbyist game-/graphics designer and programmer. It’s neat meeting you all.
I just stumbled upon this and I’m excited to see how far this project will go!
Hello. I’m a crypto and privacy enthusiast by avocation and a deep learning specialist by profession.
Hello all, I´m very interested in returning the net back to the days of information sharing and exploration of the human condition. I am appalled by the growth of the NetLords who dictate the way our information is used and the grasping greed that powers it. SAFE seems to be a logical side-step away from centralized, controlled manner our data is stored. Brilliant idea.
I´m an UX professional with hopes to design ways in which our use of the net is less driven by market-forces and more by information and use. I saw an article on the Guardian about Maidsafe and thought I´d give it a try. It looks very promising. Reminds a bit of the co-operative ways that used to dominate the net. Well done.
Hi all. Im a 40-something IT professional sick to death with having my data sold for profit.
Look at FB profits released today…sickening. Not enough of that goes back to the society it profits from.
The concept of Maidsafe is a perfect scenario in my eyes. Having come from pre-modern-internet days, it is easy to see where we have gone wrong. I don’t see myself giving up the internet, but I will actively support any project to make it free and fair.
Hello people, I’m Andrew. I’m an old school coder, 10 years out of being paid for my endeavours. I last worked for a devil (a credit referencing agency), taking my coin but morally opposed to what my work was used for. Judas by another name perhaps, but I’m sure many of us have been there.
I like distributed processing & networks and see them as the future. I’m excited about where it could lead. I’m not opposed to centralised storage etc per se (though there are clearly security and safety implications), it’s more the purposes that the stored data is put to; data mining etc. It’s the erosion of privacy for corporate (and government for that matter) ends.
I was excited at the birth of the internet (I still love the sound of modems handshaking, and find a retro charm to acoustic couplers!) Whilst we have seen quite astounding progress since, I do feel we’ve lost the real power of the internet (in the popular domain at least) and it has become a tool for business to advertise, market themselves and sell their product. Again, I’m not opposed to that as A function but not a predominant one. And I am very concerned about ‘snooping charters’ etc, and personal privacy on the internet.
I realise I am perhaps sounding like a grumpy old man, and whilst I partly am, the bigger part is just a sadness for what could have been. Hopefully, such initiatives as this can re-steer us.
Hi Everyone,
My name is Philip Garnett, I am an academic and researcher in the UK. I am interested in the future of the internet, and how it can become more decentralised. I am concerned about surveillance, net neutrality, and the power of the large technology companies. I would be interested in talking to people about there views of how the internet has developed vs how they would like it to develop. I look forward to getting more involved in SAFE, I would particularly like to run a web server.
Hi, I’m Matthew, from the UK. I’ve a little experience of programming… I did basic on the BBC Model B 32K my folks bought circa 1982. I mainly played Elite though, and would always ship narcotics as they seemed lucrative, though I didn’t know what narcotics were, or why the police would always shoot at me. I digress… I messed about with basic programming and watched contemporaries get internet connections and visit bulletin boards, and start hacking. I got into girls and beer instead. I’m pretty handy on excel and can manipulate VB code when I need to.
The internet seems so narrow now… so I’m fully supportive of attempts to broaden and balance it, if that can help us establish a happy, sustainable, non-violent way of life then I’m right behind it.
I’m always looking to learn new things, pick up new tricks, not afraid to get things wrong.
Excited to come here!
I am Hiro Zarf. US Based guy with a strong fascination with technology. Started with a Commodore Vic-20 and programming in basic. On a cassette drive. I feel old now.
Played with various systems over the years, dropped out of college, and then starting working in Tech Support in 1994. My first employer created and sold Unix based medical billing software until they were bought out.
Started working as a local consultant for non-profit agencies setting up networks, creating computer labs, building boxes, etc.
In 1997 I discovered that companies would pay me very well to teach their employees how to perform basic tasks on PCs and laptops. Worked as a contract Technical Trainer for 13 years for more than 50 companies. Got tired of traveling and gave it up to design elearning modules for various clients. That got boring, too.
Most recently, I have worked as a business consultant with start-ups. In my spare time, I try to keep up with most areas of IT. Just for fun. That kind of describes my entire career. It was just for fun.
I am fascinated with the privacy issues and the direction that we have been herded. I came here because it seemed interesting.
That’s about it I guess. Oh, I have a cat. And a girlfriend. Both live with me.
Hi, I’m xaen.
I’m excited to see where all this leads to!
Hi I’m Evan Landers. I am a transcriptionist, an IT professional and a college student. Ever since the Snowden leaks, I have had an intense interest in cryptography and cybersecurity. I am a strong believer in tried and true ciphers, thus I am a proponent of GPG. Thus, I am skeptical of the new cipher used in this network, but optimistic due to what the SAFE network is trying to achieve.I am interested in joining the SAFE network because, due to my privacy activism, I have been hacked many times, and each time it happens I feel violated.
I’m interested in making friends that are also interested in cryptography and cybersecurity, so please, send me your ASCII armored PGP/GPG public keys so we can chat!
