It most certainly has cookies. I'm kinda insulted you asked.
You keep assuming that payment of storage is going to be in Safecoins but I have to reiterate just one more time that storage will be FREE on the SAFE network. This will significantly reduce friction for user acquisition for MaidSafe and make things a lot harder for you to pay your nodes and charge the users. Free market rulz -->
C.R.E.A.MMy suggestion to you is to work your ass of on hunting down devs to use your platform to add value because user acquisition is going to be hard without a superior product.
Well I've done my job here. Now back to being depressed after listening to Adam Backs

)
I guess my investing days are going to be rather short. Going to be interesting to see how this is going to pan out...
