My understanding is that only the core components are being built at the moment. Yes there maybe a team working on some of the UI, but really you need to do at least a little to get it going.
I am wondering what you think Maidsafe is doing that is NOT part of the core system?
I have tried not to make my post a discussion about Maidsafe’s technical architecture! The
architects have defined core components they need to build. The topic, I have linked to
(see below) from this forum in sept 2014 is illuminating.
maidsafe will be the storage technology of choice for blockchains
Can you explain what you mean here. I don’t recall Maidsafe ever being built for storage of/for blockchains.
Maidsafe obviously have applications outside blockchain storage. Nobody, is saying that is
was designed as a blockchain storage technology BUT that was a market segment that
would impact safecoins value as well as drive developer momentum. At least that was
the conclusion some of us reached 3 years ago when all these was new and ripple and
ethereum where the new programmatic blockchains. Keep in mind that bitcoin and litecoin
were the ONLY serious blockchains around at that point.
Furthermore, competing with amazon, azure etc is not going to be a walk in the park.
Anyway, like I said, the discussion below is quite illuminating
