how do you see storj progress vs progress of MAID ?
and in relation to above generally releasing software that is ready to be released means death to that software.
You have to release something, and make it modular enough for the rest later.
StorJ did a great job. Their software is focused on data storage as the name implies. Maidsafe tries to be broader than storage alone. It also includes "namecoin" in the way of their DNS. It will also include "Safecoin" where we're not limited to the 7 transactions per second like Bitcoin has. With StorJ you need to create an account on their website. Maidsafe lets you create an account on the network and even they don't know that you made it.
