For context, my dinner with the top-tier Rust developer/researcher was completely coincidental and occurred purely by chance. He had no idea who I am and was (likewise) surprised I even knew the "very obscure" (his words) Maid project existed.
...
I approached the subject of Maid tactfully in case he was a supporter, but it turned out that we two dissimilar experts evaluating Maid from completely different backgrounds and areas of expertise still shared the common ground of concluding Maid is an embarrassment to much of the Rust community, Maid is not feasible, and Maid devs (should) probably know that but are happy to get a job.

Hi there - sorry I just noticed your post, I might just add a couple of words as a MaidSafe dev.

Of course I am happy to have this job because the team is extremely hard working and knowledgeable, you can learn lots and lots of computer science and Rust-related things while working there. And I do think the network is feasible. What makes you believe it is not? What technical concerns do you have? I'll do my best to answer any questions you might have.

And to be honest I don't understand the claim about the "Rust community embarrasment" as I have not noticed anything like that despite being involved in the community myself. And even though someone might think that the network is not feasible - all code is open sourced and many of MaidSafe projects are not strictly confined to the SAFE network. You can use Crust, Utils, Self Encryption, and even Routing as building blocks in any Rust project and even invent your own network on top of these libraries. We also contribute to other open Rust projects, sometimes in the core projects like rust-libc, clippy, and the compiler. So why is it an "embarassment"?

Obligatory disclaimer: I'm not participating in this discussion in an official capacity and I'm not speaking for all of MaidSafe - only for myself.

Hey, welcome in this topic Nikita! I guess you won't convince ICEBREAKER of anything good about MaidSafe as he's trolling this topic for several years now Cheesy

. MaidSafe is bad in his opinion and that view needs to get out of his brain into his keyboard now and then.

Here's the weekly dev update:
