Hi,
my name is Ivo Titscher, but as the pronounciation might be difficult for english spreaking people just call me Dexter.
I am senior in the IT industry and currently running a mid sized DC infrastructure supplier in Munich.
Besides that I am engaging in activities the try to fix the broken balance in the world.
If we all make this project a success, it would be a major step. I am in.
Cheers
Dexter
Hi, this Is @kristianpaul,
Iām from Colombia, been floss user and supporter for a while now, I guess I ended here because of the need of autonomy around tech and I see those values on this project.
Hi my name is Kris Davison, 33, from Newcastle in the UK. Iām a software engineer generally working with java, scala, terrafom and docker etc. Found this project a couple of years ago and have been lurking and monitoring progress ever since. Iāve been trying to get access to the current alpha but apparently lurking isnāt enough to allow me access.
Hopefully this will help.
Looking forward to trying out writing some real decentralised apps with the safe network.
Cheers Kris
Hello!
My name is Marijus Briedis, living in Vilnius, Lithuania now. Iām a Linux Sys Admin in daylight and Open Source and security enthusiast for the rest. I found out about MaidSafe from my ex college and got really interested in Crust and other projects that are going on here. I see a bright future for it!
Best regards from Vilnius!
Hi all, Iām Gina. Iām a programmer turned sysadmin. I work for an NGO and am currently researching options to secure our data in our own ecosystems. I recently came across Safenet and Iām super excited to think of all the possibilities this has for NGOās - just the thought of not having to protect our servers anymore is like music to my ears. Iām looking forward to hearing more from this project. Have a nice day!
My name is Patrick Wang, I am currently a High School senior in California and have been interested in EECS since the beginning of middle school. I am relatively young compared to many of the posts I have read in this discussion so I donāt have nearly as much of a history to talk about. In the past few years I have been attending hackathons and taking part in engineering related projects, most of which were purely software.
Two years ago, I was introduced to the world of cryptocurrency after only hearing about bitcoin years before. Ever since, I have been interested in blockchain technologies, including the safe network, and have done subject related, unimpressive projects including some negligible mining and building a primitive blockchain in a āProgram design and data structures classā. I do plan to do some more elaborate projects in the future.
I have done other unrelated projects that I may add in the future, but am to lazy to write them in this post right now.
Thanks for taking time to read this.
Hi folks, Iām a Rust dev from Sweden working in the routing team at MaidSafe. My background is C and C++ and in a previous life I did numerical algorithms (Scientific Computing). Itās great being part of such an enthusiastic community!
Other than Rust and distributed networks, I like mechanical keyboards and FOSS 
I wrote a quick introduction at

Iām Alessandro Gagliardi. You can find me on Github and Twitter @MadDataScience. As my name implies, I used to be a data scientist. To be honest, Iām a little bit ashamed of this fact (though not enough to change my handle). While I feel reasonably confident that none of the work that I ever did was exploitative or oppressive, I am well aware of the problems inherent in the commodification of human beings as data assets to be traded. Which brings me to today. I am back to building software, something I decided to pursue a career in Neuroscience (which didnāt end up working out). For my day job, I am a programmer at Pandora Music (not to be confused with the jewelry company). But between hearing Arthur Brock interviewed on Team Human and Tim Berners-Lee interviewed on Note to Self, Iāve become more and more interested in re-decentralizing the Internet. Iām still pretty new to this space and to be honest, still have only a vague idea about Solid, SAFE, MaidSafe, and so on. But I am here to learn.
Hi. my name is Alex. I donāt write code but I do work in tech industry. I will be able to help on the QA/testing side. I was looking to the safest place for sensitive data storage and ended up here. I think that encrypted decentralized storage would gain a lot of attention in the coming years. I would love to get access to the beta safe browser to try it out and help with the tests!
Laur - developer and many others
interested mostly in reaching trust level 1 so that I can have fun with the Safe Browser
My name is Simeon,
I work as web developer in a small new company, and yesterday at the entrance to my block I saw a leaflet with a caption ādeveloper wantedā and a link to āhttps: //hub.safedev.orgā.
I opened the link and I was pleasantly surprised by what I saw. I canāt wait to see how this will turn up in time.
Hello
Iām Kyung-Nam Park
I work as reacher in a compnay. I want to testnet.
plz send to me about testnet information
thx
Hi, Iām Okina.
I plan to make an imageboard with this technology.
I looked at the merits of doing it with SAFE vs IPFS, and so far I like this a bit better, I hope it goes as well in development.
Plus, it seems itās built with Rust, which is a huge plus.
Nice to meet all of you.
Hello folks,
Probably the most unenlightened noob here in this forum.
I am an editor at SnailDriver.com, free driver updating software that helps people keep drivers on their PC up to date. Also Iām a part of a team focusing on the development of various hosting-related apps.
Anyway, I will be a humble learner and develop myself with abundant resources here.
Thanks
Hi, my name is David and I am not a Dev guy, an expert coder or a network engineer. I am a marketeer (I hate that word, I apologise). I am focused on customer engagement with experience in Email Marketing, SMS and Push Notifications. I first heard of MaidSafe when talking to the company data scientist who follows everything Maidsafe do closely as he is convinced it is the future, he managed to get me on board as well! Being from Ayr, it is strange to have such a big technology company so close to home.
With everything regarding data security and data breaches being in the news in the past few years, projects like this can only lead to good things for the future and I would love to be part of that in any way I can. Even if it is just giving up some of my bandwidth and the occasional post in this forum.
I am interested in how this could be marketed to the general public as once you can convince Joe Bloggs that they need to be part of it, you are on to a winner. People hear words and phrases like decentralised data network and just go āahh thatās not for meā but if you can market it correctly it and find a way to explain it so my grandparents understand it the sky really is the limit.
Looking forward to being able to say āyeah, I was part of thatā
Hi Iām Benjiex, Iām a Web Designer and a Marketing in an Online Company that offers cat supplies such as beds, toys, litter pan and many mor. Iām here to learn more about safe networking. Please welcome me!
Hey guys, new here. Iāve been playing around with privacy tools and opsec for a few years now. Iām self taught mostly and am always looking to learn more. I am really interested in checking out the Safe browser. I cant wait to get my invite. Nice to meet all of you!
Hi Team, my name is Stanley, and I got started with Maidsafe as an āaltcoinā because it looked very promising as a crypto investment tool. Needless to say at that time I looked at the crypto scene as a way of producing extra revenue, which is not a bad thing. As time went on I began to look into what some of these digital currencies are trying to do and not just checking prices and comparing forecasts. This ācloser lookā lead to an overwhelming desire to take an active part in (what I have come to call) āthe SafeNet initiativeā. Yet it seems as if I dont have even close to enough of the necessary IT know-how to actively participate in whats going on hereā¦but that wont keep me from taking part. Well team, thats it for now, I have to get moving and get my level 1 trust thing going so I can install the softwareā¦Later People
been looking into the maidsafe for a while now. glad to see its maturing before our eyes. i been mining since 2013 and always wondered when can we earn crypto for doing something thats actually useful. hope thats hosting data as a node in london can be helpful to the network so i thought its time to start moving in this direction - internet needs to decentralise & i sure hope to part take in the process.
hi all am new am Paul From Scotland i love trying out new Internet technology trying to install the web browser onto my lap top but not working for some reason is there something am doing wrong
