I really can’t think of any downside for launching safecoin now.

The underlying infrastructure isn’t secure yet. So people could have 1200 Safecoin in an account, and a few days later after some data-loss in the network their account and wallet are gone. So the devs are fixing this first.

And when it comes to adoption of the SAFE technology, the ecosystem with Apps and APIs and more is way more important. External devs are jumping all over the place as they want to build Apps with Mutable Data. And guess what: MD will allow for alt_coins on SAFE. So before test_safecoin we’ll see other coins from devs first. Here’s one example:

How transactions (could) take place using Decorum

@Seneca shared his Amsterdam presentation a few days ago. It’s called: “ALT-COINS ON SAFE - Using obfuscated transaction trees”. Now I don’t know about you, but I really bugged my head on this one . That’s why I decided to troll @Seneca with PMs until I finally understood his idea and the reason why it prevents double spending. I’ll use this topic to explain it as best as I can in my own words using both Alice and Bob and maybe some others. Let’s keep this topic about the inner workings o…

So IMO MaidSafe is on the right path. Safecoin is and will be very cool, but other things need to go first now .
