SAFE Network Alpha Release! [safenetforum.org]

TechCruch: After a decade of R&D, MaidSafe’s decentralized network opens for alpha testing [techcrunch.com]
> Not many startups have spent a decade fine-tuning their tech platform prior to launch. But not many startups are trying to radically rethink the structure of the Internet.
...
> The aim for the alpha is to see how the network operates, garner feedback and grow its community of developers — to fuel the necessary app ecosystem to drive adoption of the real-deal down the line (an API is slated as launching this week).
> MaidSafe’s ambition for the Safe network, as it will be called (aka ‘Secure Access For Everyone’), is for it to be useable by as wide a user-base as possible

The crew at MaidSafe is not joking around. If this works, and the SAFE Network functions as promised now and in the future, it'll be the biggest thing to happen to the internet since the internet ;)

Right now they have only launched and Alpha, and it is limited - but it is still exciting. The promised features and applications are wide ranging: store "unlimited" files "forever" with no ongoing fee, host sites and applications within the network, support autonomous agents such as ocean bouys, support extremely fast and safe online payments, etc.

For those who aren't familiar, the SAFE Network is a cryptocurrency-backed distributed network of computers. Unlike every other cryptocurrency related project out there, it does not use a blockchain. They have come up with their own way of ensuring (hopefully) that an untrusted network of nodes can achieve consensus. This, in itself is exciting for people watching this space.

I'll be watching this closely.

There is now a new developers forum at https://forum.safedev.org/ [forum.safedev.org] set away from the community forum.
That then for more expert programmers to talk directly to core developers.

From MaidSafe Dev Update 23th August 2016 [safenetforum.org]:
Dev Forum

The SAFE Dev Forum is now open for registration. Just go to forum.safedev.org [forum.safedev.org] and create an account.

The goal of this new forum is to make it easier for developers to communicate with the MaidSafe developers [maidsafe.net].

Here are a few examples of how the Dev Forum can be used:

Developers who want to contribute to the core libraries can use this forum to talk with the developers responsible for a specific core library (e.g. #routing).

Developers who need help with the SAFE Launcher API [maidsafe.readme.io] can ask questions in #launcher:api.

Discussions about pre-RFCs and RFCs can happen in #rfcs.

Feel free to suggest ideas on how to improve the Dev Forum in #site-feedback.

<reverse-snip />

Dev Tutorials

We are now ready to share our plans for the client-side deliverables.

Firstly, we will start by proposing two new RFCs, one for appendable data and one for exposing a low level API in SAFE Launcher. Many developers currently looking at, or building applications right now (like Decorum for example) will see very quickly the use cases these RFCs will cover. This is an exciting time as we feel we will showcase to everyone some vital capabilities of the network that goes way beyond simple storage. Capabilities will include further helpers for dynamic data, information passing between clients and more. We plan to release these capabilities in batches over the coming weeks.

After the RFCs have been implemented, we will roll out a series of tutorials to present different use cases of the SAFE Launcher API. We anticipate releasing an example and tutorial in roughly two week intervals. This will greatly help developers understand how to build dynamic applications. The tutorials will showcase APIs that the demo app hasn’t utilised so far. We will give more details on the first example and tutorial next week :wink:

Maidsafe have an equity offer on bnktothefuture that is on point but seemingly under advertised [bnktothefuture.com...]

For the basics see: [maidsafe.net...] - SAFE is at Alpha atm and doing well [safenetforum.org...]

Having undersold it, there's now incentives introduced but no thread here I could see!
bnktothefuture: MaidSafe.net - Building a new, secure and decentralised Internet. [bnktothefuture.com]

From:
!BIG UPDATE! 17 days left | 13% | MaidSafe’s BnkToTheFuture equity fundraising now live! [safenetforum.org]

Video: Maidsafe update with Simon Dixon, Nick and David [youtube.com]


For everyone that can't access the bnktothefuture forum:

We believe that BnkToTheFuture qualifying investors want to invest in the MaidSafe pitch, but the lack of incentive for investing early has probably caused many to hold back. To address this issue, and to give everyone an extra thank you for the support, we are going to be offering everyone who invests in our pitch two bonuses, one from us and one from BnkToTheFuture.

MAIDSAFE BONUS

Those of you who follow MaidSafe will know that MaidSafeCoin currently exists and is currently traded on a number of exchanges. MaidSafeCoin is a proxy token for Safecoin and will be traded on a 1:1 basis when Safecoin goes live on the SAFE Network.

Safecoin is the currency that can only be used within SAFE, and the distribution of Safecoin is handled entirely by the network on a per use basis.

The Safecoins that we will be offering to early investors will be amongst the first to be farmed on the network by MaidSafe. This is a great way to be involved in the SAFE Network story while also receiving a little slice of history.

The Safecoin will be delivered both digitally, as per a normal transfer, but also on a uniquely branded memory stick as a memento and thank you, providing investors verifiable proof of being an early adopter and supporter of MaidSafe and the SAFE Network.

These Safecoin will be allocated with the ID of the individual claiming the reward and delivery of these coins will be made as soon as Safecoin has been integrated into the network. This offer will be backdated to investors that have already taken part in our BnkToTheFuture funding round.

For the duration of the fundraising campaign, the amount of Safecoin you receive will relate to the amount that you invest. The incentive is offered on a decreasing sliding scale so if you are looking to maximise the offer we suggest you get in early.

Sep 12 - Sep 26th - 1 safecoin for every £2 invested
Sep 27th - 30th Sep - 1 safecoin for every £5 invested
2nd Oct - 5th Oct - 1 safecoin for every £8 invested
7th Oct - 9th Oct - 1 safecoin for every £11 invested

BNKTOTHEFUTURE BONUS

All investors in this pitch will also receive bonus Bitcoin mining hash power that will pay them Bitcoin dividends everyday BUT only for as long as the mining process is profitable and or until it expires.

The earlier you invest the more hash power you will receive and the more Bitcoin you will receive as a “thank you” for investing in MaidSafe.

How much Bitcoin mining hash power will I receive as a bonus?

Mining power will pay you Bitcoins every day for as long as the Bitcoin mining process is profitable and is available with zero technical knowledge or input from you.

How many Bitcoins you receive each day depends on the everyday price of Bitcoin, the difficulty rate of mining Bitcoin, the daily maintenance fee and the amount of hash power you receive. We take care of all the technical stuff, you just receive the coins to your BF account each day with an email to let you know how many you are receiving.

The price and difficulty rate of mining Bitcoin is 100% market driven and we have no control over it. The maintenance fee is automatically taken from the coins generated each day and is fixed at the same rate for all. How much Hash power you receive depends on the amount invested and how early you invest as outlined below.

You will receive:

100 GH/s of Bitcoin mining Hash power for every £1,000 invested in this pitch round ONLY and PRIOR to September 26th 2016.
75 GH/s for every £1,000 invested before 12 Midnight GMT on 30th September 2016.
50 GH/s for every £1,000 invested before 12 Midnight GMT on 5th October 2016.
25 GH/s for every £1,000 invested before 12 Midnight GMT on 9th October 2016.


How do we define profitability?

$0.00026 per GH/s per day will be deducted on a daily basis from the generated coins as a maintenance fee. Dividends stop if the coins mined and converted into USD does not exceed the daily maintenance fee for 20 consecutive days.

How will I receive my Bitcoin?

You will receive Bitcoins everyday paid to your BnkToTheFuture account or to an external wallet when you update your dividend settings on your account page once dividends are enabled.

You are also able to receive them in an alternative crypto currency like Ether or DASH which can be enabled in the dividends and wallet section of your account once we have enabled dividends.

We aim to start paying them 14 days after this pitch round expires and closes.

BnkToTheFuture shall reserve the right to refuse/deny, cancel or delete any fraudulent and illegal or Hash power bonus claims that was created under false credential, including inappropriate/trouble investor individuals and if in breach of our investor member eligibility terms and conditions. BF Investor member accounts created under fraud, illegal or false credentials shall be denied/refused Hash power bonus claims, or for any other reasons as per our terms and conditions BF shall reserve the right to claim refunds for Hash power dividends paid out from all cancelled BF individual investor member.

These bonuses and many other things were discussed in an Google Hangout with Simon, David and Nick. Enjoy!
