SAFE Network Dev Update - October 3, 2019

there will be. but it needs time. first, people need to understand what this project is about. then, they start talking about it. then, they look for title, words, that describe it.

“You know, this new internet network thing”
“yeah, of course I know, it’s automatic”
“autonomous”
“yeah!”

You can not force it at this stage imo, but you can get noobs, like me, to understand the principles and be excited about the project.

I think instead of making people read the forum to get access to alpha 2 we should have made sure they’ve watched Silicon Valley.

It would have saved so many FAQs around the technology, how it works, funding, project management, marketing etc etc! :rofl:

Probably too late at this stage of the game, but, we should have had 2 options.

1). Read the forum.
2). Pay to try, say $20 per account per 2000 puts.

$20 to go in to network resources. Anyone trying to spam the network would have to give more money that would be used to add more resources.

Hmm. I can’t think of any examples of people paying to beta test software, can you?

I think this community might just be crazy enough.

Thx 4 the update Maidsafe devs,

It good to see David speaking about weeks before launch. The SAFE network doesn’t have to be flawless (it probably won’t be), but everything that humanity wants to work will work.

It would be fun to run a vault on my vacation.

Keep up the good work

Keep pushing folks. I just got back from a tech conference in San Fran giving a talk, #KongSummit19 . One awesome thing I got to do while there was visit the Github HQ and even casually bumped into and shook hands with their CEO, oh and took advantage of their fully stocked bar and beer on tap hah.

But one piece in the office was a straight up shipping container on the first floor(used as a meeting room/ think area etc) which stood for the companies drive to get stuff out there, ship it mentality. I am glad to see the new direction the last few months on a warpath reaching the goal of an MVP and blocking out external noise.

Is the academical review of Parsec still ongoing? I hope for a happy ending there.

Yes, we will hear of the completion when it completes. I would be shocked if we didn’t
