hi guys. Just 10% of SAFE Coins to the MaidSafeCoin holders is not unfair? I mean, if the marketcap of SAFECOIN not reach 10x the MaidSafeCoin marketcap on the launch all the holders will loose money? thanks
I don't know if I get your question right, but in total 4.3 billion Safecoin will ever be created. This probably won't happen before the year 2100 if ever.
MaidSafe the company sold 10% of that number in 2014 at the crowdfund. Due to a little glitch with the OMNI (back then called Mastercoin) system the creation of new coins was stopped a little too late. So around 453 million are in circulation right now.
http://coinmarketcap.com/assets/maidsafecoin/#chartsWhen Safecoin goes live after testing you can change your MAID for the real Safecoin 1-on-1. If you want to store (PUT) data in the network you "burn" some Safecoin. The address of the coin gets free so it might be farmed again in the future (if ever). When someone "Farmes" Safecoin the nodes will pick a random address from the 4.3 billion. If that address is already owned, the Farming Attempt fails. If it's free it goes to the farmer.
There's also Farming algo's. When more people try to farm, less coins are rewarded. When too less people farm, the reward goes up to attract more Farmers. So overall a lot of dynamics. The network doesn't care about the Safecoin price being 50 cents or 4 dollar. It will always balance out. Coins are created and burned all the time.
Hope that helps.
