Missing Gox Coins Flowing into Maidsafe IPO? Update: Templar77 Comments
Many have proclaimed Mt. Gox dead, myself among them, yet the ghost of Gox has seemingly returned to haunt the already-troubled MaidSafe IPO. Editor's Note: David Irvine, of MaidSafe, has responded to the situation: David Irvine: Whoever sent this shouldn't have sent funds from Bitstamp anyway since they don't control the keys. I hope this is the case. I know we have refunded a bunch of people who did that. That allows them to try again if they wish anyway.

David Irvine, founder and lead developer of MaidSafe, addressed the issue personally through several comments on the article itself, and in a live World Crypto Network interview that included Susanne Tarkowski of Bitnation: “Our connection to Bitcoin is that we share the community’s passion for....

MaidSafe bills itself as a wholly decentralized internet wherein it acts as a decentralized storage....

MaidSafe was founded in 2006, when founder David Irvine, a former IT consultant, decided to create a new platform to improve Internet security. Computers running MaidSafe talk to others on the network to create a large storage array (the firm's name stands for 'Massive Array of Internet Disks, Secure Access for Everyone'). Participants can choose how much storage they provide to the network, or can choose to use the system while providing none at all. Any storage allocated is used by the network to store encrypted portions of other users' files. It has now been over two months since....
MaidSafe has recruited over 500 developers for its up-and-coming network launch, according to a press release released Friday. MaidSafe expects to start testing the network soon–a process that will last a few months. Project SAFE (Secure Access for Everyone) has been called the “Bitcoin for data” or the “Bitcoin for the Internet.” The announcement of MaidSafe’s rapid development, after last month’s crowdsale, could be viewed as another baby step towards a decentralized Internet. The developers span “many backgrounds, nationalities and interests” and have started crafting a variety of....
