isnt this coin supposed to be super secure?

Yes, the whole network is supposed to be secure so:

- Register a domain without anyone knowing you did so... but still you are the owner
- Upload private data without anyone knowing you did that, how much...
- Transfer Safecoin from A to B without anyone knowing you did or how much while no one knows your balance
- Browse safe://websites without anyone knowing what/when and stuff like that

Thanks to Zeeman in particular for the regular and detailed updates and replies. I think we all appreciate it immensely

Meanwhile, I have a few queries that have been rattling around my head in relation to MaidSafe for quite a while. Let me run them past you all, if I may (sorry it's a bit of a mix!):

The Safe Network will, of course, be awesome. I love the whole concept. And I love that I can be involved in supplying some of the space in the new network.

1). However, there is one thing that worries me quite a bit ... if it's totally secure, anonymous, untraceable etc., how can the network keep it from being abused, e.g. by terrorists? You'll know who I have in mind there. It would be a terrible misuse of such an amazing tool if it's hijacked with, for example, 'how to' websites for all manner of destructive topics/sites, or even nasty paedo type stuff. How do we keep that stuff out if we can't 'see' who published or communicated it?

2). Meanwhile, if I understand it right, a SAFE coin may well be more of a [disc] 'storage' unit/value rather than a 'financial' value like other crypto coins. Let's say I have 4000 SAFE coins, but I don't need that amount of storage. Rookie question I suspect ... I can just 'sell' those coins? I'm confused because I read that it's not coins ... it's space. Maybe that doesn't matter and it's as easily traded. But the whole 'burn and recycle' thing (if I understand it right) is confusing me a little. I think I get it but I'm just double-checking here!

3). I know originally that SAFE coins were not going to be divisible. Given how much crypto coins/tokens have taken off even in only the last quarter, is that decision still up for debate? My thinking is that if a MAID coin is eventually swappable 1:1 for a SAFE coin once available, if the price of a SAFE coin by then is, say, $500 (wouldn't that be nice!), wouldn't smaller potential fractions, like Satoshis are to Bitcoin, be wise? Or have I missed some other conversation that's already covered that?

Thanks in advance for any insight on any of the above.
