Maidsafe app/browser + safecoins questions

There will be a plugin for Firefox. I don’t know if there’s a browser inside the SAFE App Launcher.

i hear a lot of talks about apps but not so much about websites, aren’t app usually for smarphones?

Yes, it’s a bit confusing. You run programs on your computer, and Apps on your mobile device or in a Chrome browser. SAFE will provide a lot of this. There will be programs on Windows/Linux that connect to the SAFE Client using an API. But at the same time, the SAFE App launcher will provide an environment where you can run Apps on the SAFE (sneakpeak here).

how will i send safecoins to someone? through a safecoins address? through a user ID? username?

You can store your name in SAFEnet. So you don’t need to use these long addresses to send Safecoin. But you can if you will.

has david tested the safecoins mecanism yet? are you guys sure that it will work and that the double spent problem is indeed solved?

Probably next sprint they’ll work on that. Double spending shouldn’t be possible.
