Thought I landed on the safenetwork.tech website.
Nice style.
Watching now…
Edit: This is the second media type appearance by David.
‘Marketing’ is ramping up - I can feel it.

I thought it was an interview, looks more like you get 10 minutes to do a talk.
Good luck David, I couldn’t sit and talk to a camera.

Good work, @dirvine ! Hard to capture so much in so little time. Hopefully, it will encourage others to look into safe network.

Now back to launch

Only caught the last couple of mins but looked very professional. @dirvine I’m curious about the backdrop, where is that on Zoom and does this mean that you can form a band with Jim and Willie?

@dirvine So happy to see you in the spotlight. Nice presentation. Safe is just in a different league.

What a talk David! I love how you basically say, blockchain is not how we do this, internets is not how we do this, we need a network the Safe Network and web2 and Web 3.0 are stupid names humans make up, then they proceed to say blockchain is the way. 
Good people that mean well for sure but it was funny that the point is missed and Maidsafe is the black sheep as usual.
You are the worlds middle finger @dirvine and I love you for it man!

Absolutely. Or maybe playing a different game!

It was not a short game for sure After launch we go to phase 2 and that’s the thing I have been desperate to get to.

We’re the cygnet… the ugly duckling… wait till our wings unfold.
Turning up to a summit named after blockchain - then telling them that blockchain isn’t the way.
I hope people do seek us out. There was no obvious way to find the projects, not links being shown on the website while people talked.
At least the blockchain community can’t say they didn’t know about the project once we take off.

What was the exact wording you used David? Something along the lines of
“Safe Network, the peoples network, A network by the people for the people”…
A slogan we should look at using widely, perhaps.

@dirvine, it’s very hard to jump from an extremely technical, all consuming context to one where you have to zoom out and dumb it down to an uninitiated, impatient, fickle crowd who think they know better than you or have the best solution already. So you have my sympathies.
And I think probably because of that rapid context switch, this talk didn’t go so well. If someone isn’t already familiar with the Safe Network, they would come away confused as to what MaidSafe, Safe Network, etc. is. The technical or self-driven won’t be as bothered because they can go find out for themselves, but the vast majority of people aren’t like that. Some things I’ve found helpful myself to better deal with context switch:
-
Establish ahead of time what takeaway message you want to leave the audience with. This serves as an anchor point and a map to help structure the talk (or even re-direct an interview). I typically would announce three demonstrated capabilities (e.g., MaidSafe is building a network called the Safe Network that has the following three key capabilities), zoom into each capability, then at the end remind the audience of the three capabilities you just discussed. Everything said would always be within the framework of those capabilities.
-
Always have a visual aid that you can pull out (even if you don’t ever use it). You could even navigate to the fundamentals on the website to show people the benefits or navigate to the crates dependencies graph on GitHub to show people a map of the network.
-
A demo or asking people to go test out the code for themselves. You’re not asking them to believe you but to go test it out and see for themselves.
On to the next ones

Yea, it was a 6 minute gig and not a round table, but all OK really. It’s a bit at a time. I never have a clue what I will say anyway

We need Safe Network with opportunistic caching, like yesterday. Right now almost all crypto related apps are extremely slow or not working. Coinbase, BlockFi, trading view seems slow, Blockfolio doesn’t seem like it’s updating properly. I’ve heard several other exchanges have poor or degraded performance.
This is where Safe Network could shine
