Good luck David and team

Yea If all projects gonna use tokens why would we need Safecoins then ? PDC, SEC.
Maidsafe can become great but people need to be willing to use it not only to store data.
Tokens can have all sorts of functionality that safecoin, because it has its own functions, won’t have. They’ll be app- or protocol-specific. Very cool, actually.
Don’t think we really need or want safecoin to do everything. It has value because it’s tied into the Proof of Resource function of the network, and otherwise is a liquid currency. Wouldn’t want to have it tied up in apps and other backwaters, trying to do everything.

You’re assuming that the killer app owned by Maidsafe is something that would remain unchanged forever. I certainly didn’t say that. It’s a moving target and not an all-or-nothing thing, and the terms of such a crowdfund can make that clear.
There are many possibilities, not just storage. I sketched out one such idea on the app brainstorming topic.

Well, apparently, hopefully that´s not a reason to point out potential flaws of this approach from my perspective. I don´t know the backstories of this announcements and probably all of the existing alternatives to selling off irregularly produced coins were ruled out for good reasons, but it´s also possible that a second thought helps to find alternative ways to allow Maidsafe scale. How would I know.

Just to get an idea how much money people can make through microdonations on Patreon:
Easy Allies makes over 38,000 each month with an avarage contribution of 8$/patron.
If it would take place on Patreon, I am sure Maidsafe could break that limit (which btw would certainly catch the attention of Mainstream users), however I think it is much easier to do that kind of funding on a regular basis without the commission with cryptocurrencies. Currently this kind of platform doesn´t exist yet in cryptouniverse, which is why I suggested to consider that an option for a crowdsale app.

Without a funded team and partnerships you are going to take another 10 years. But the times are not same as 10 years ago when u began… businesses in technology sector and crypto especially are now expected to be delivering fast, should have some realistic estimates and release on the promised dates.
I was interest in MAID for the nice idea! But yeah, ideas come out every day. It’s worth nothing if you can’t turn it into a thing. I’m now only interested in MAID for shorting it on polo. OTOH factom is making progress. You might have better idea, but they have better business.

P.S. You will hate me, but it’s truth and all you sunshine people need to wake up to reality.
Yes, an account on Patreon should be opened straight away. Many people, including myself would sign-up for such a recurring, monthly payment.

Factom is the silliest thing ever. Just a timestamped ledger! SAFE would eat that for lunch.
Oh! But it has some really really really smart people onboard! Whatever.

I think Factom is great, they do it 10 to 100 times cheaper then most, i believe it will rise much more till at least market cap of 50 million.
You lot of VIPERS trying to poke at Maidsafe developers integrity - all keep trying to create FUD on this topic.
Talking about how the “market is going crazy” and how it’s “doomed to fail”.
Nothing but nonsense all of it. There’s a usual Tuesday dump that has become part of the weekly market sway. You’re all quick to point that out, but not quick to point out that livecoin just beat out bittrex in volume. Not quick to point out that the devaluation was the usual signature of mastercoin whales. Not quick to point out that he crowd sale disadvantaged developers more than it did participants.
Disgusting. Youre all more than willing to try and exploit every turn of maidsafe management decisions just so you can make a quick buck.
Let me tell you something: if you think deception is the key to wealth. You fundamentally misunderstand life.
Wealth isn’t about exploiting financial markets. The key to wealth is INVESTING IN OTHER PEOPLE. I never invested in “maidsafecoin” I invested in Dirvine, Neo, Frabrunelle, Paige, rossmuir, Fraser etc…

Cheaper than whom? Anyway, my point is that their service is a small subset of what SAFE will do.

Proud member of that society, yes. 
On a more serious note, I’m surprised how much drama is rising from a normal, understable, well thought business decision of the type that is made in every company from time to time. Honesty and openness obviously comes with a price, but I’m hoping the Safe Team is standing above it. And giggle about it, every now and then.

Guys I have a suggestion on howto raise capital while making everyone happy and actually provide a useful extra feature.
What I suggest (and I literately thought of this 1min ago so maybe it sucks lol)
But why not enable people to buy specific Safenet urls, as a preorder type of thing, over a few days.
Think about it.
Those who then have projects under development can secure their desired urls already now, which many would gladly pay a reasonable amount of Btc for as it removes a bit of stress and such. And the alternative of not doing this is arguable that some guy with a bot will eat up a lot of the good urls, so way better to let the safeexcange, decoreum guy and everyone else get their url of choice
