500 Developers Join MaidSafe Project
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....

The MaidSafe project announced today it has 500 developers signed up to build applications for its decentralized Internet platform. This follows the project's successful crowd sale that raised $6m in its first five hours. MaidSafe has the ambitious aim of radically decentralizing all the web services that exist today, and is working on projects that include altcoin wallets, unlimited file storage and sharing applications, a decentralized music store, secure messaging applications and a decentralized altcoin and fiat currency exchange. The idea is that these services will be free, not only....
Starting tomorrow, decentralized Internet platform builder MaidSafe will hold a crowd sale of currency-like tokens called 'safecoins' to support its enabling software. MaidSafe, over seven years in development, aims to create no less than a fully peer-to-peer and decentralised Internet platform, in which all data is 'shredded', encrypted and distributed to an extensive network of computers around the world. The technology allows developers to build applications in which all data is completely secure, private, and protected from deletion. During the initial sale, safecoins will be made....

Eight years ago, David Irvine launched a company with modest ambitions: to decentralize the Internet. MaidSafe aims to offer an alternative to the widespread use of servers: a decentralized data network on which decentralized applications can be built. The Scotland-based platform held a successful crowdsale to raise funding earlier this year, netting $6m in under six hours. Five hundred developers, MaidSafe says, have since joined its ranks. Decentralization is a persistent theme that has surfaced again and again in the cryptocurrency community, but Irvine has his own unique take on the....
If you can understand the organization of ants, you can understand MaidSafe.[1]. Alone, by itself, an ant is both vulnerable and easily marginalized. Yet when working with the rest of the colony, ants with roughly the same petite attributes can take down larger prey, clear paths and protect the mound from disasters (both natural and man-made). I spoke with David Irvine, the CEO of MaidSafe and he used this type of analogy to describe how the decentralized attributes of MaidSafe works. MaidSafe bills itself as a wholly decentralized internet wherein it acts as a decentralized storage....
