safecoin lost my interest at the bit where it said no bloat because safecoin confess its own storage...
in short.. they are just a upload website with a gimmicky way of having users access data to pretend to be decentralized..
its like saying to users its decentralized because all the users download a torrent program.. but all the seeds are on safecoins servers...
much like etherium and nxt are centralized coin holders pretending to be proper decentralized blockchains..
when will the world of the 1990's centralized mysql database lovers, ever learn..

i dont even understand why this is being blatently advertised on bitcoin/blockchain based forums.. when it has nothing to do with it

Are you serious? I don't think you understand how maidsafe works and what can beachieved with it to claim that. You really think this is offtopic? It's all crypto after all and related to my question (im comparing technologies).

read it.
no blocks...

and the data is not decentralised.. its like saying that banks are decentralised because although the data is not on users computers.. there is data on computers managed by different branches of a bank in different towns.. so maidsafe is just a offshoot of cloudhosting under the false pretense of being a linked to bitcoin technology..

if the only thing that you think links maidsafe to bitcoin is cryptography.. then we might aswell say banks are cryptographic money too as their data is also secured using encryption..

encryption is nothing new or special.. but if its not on a blockchain that anyone can be part of.. then its no different to centralized services that have been around for ages.

but i am sorry to ruin your advertising campaign..

I think it is you that doesn't understand maidsafe but please continue this conversation.

?

That's your rebuttal?

It's an interesting conversation. So far, as a person who has never looked into Maidsafe (myself), I can only see that Franky is right. Even the OP has disappeared.

I'm open to being convinced otherwise by a clear explanation of how it works.

Contacting and inviting maidsafe.net to clarify in this thread.

Can we truely have a global internet that cuts out the ISPs and governments?

If you haven't heard about the net neutrality issue -- then this would be what solves the problem once and for all?

Or do we hand over more power to the governments, or the businesses? The fight for more power over the internet is now between all governments, businesses, and individuals.

In the end 2 out of 3 can always be readjusted.

When you create a global support for a global problem, I think nothing is ever going to out weigh us as individuals. In effect, government and businesses must abandon this selfish desire for more power over said individuals.
