From someone who has done their due diligence on this project, I have to inform you there is another project using the name Safecoin @ safecoin.org that is scammy and IS NOT related in any capacity to Maidsafe OR the SAFEnetwork project. That said, the SAFEnetwork project has impressed me a great deal with their technical progress towards making an autonomous self healing network that is centered around security, privacy, data ownership/control and usability. Obviously something we can all agree is (possibly over) ambitious and mouth watering fodder to those of us understanding in which ways the large tech monopolies silo and steal user data, track us, off our backs for their gain. The projects proposal almost seems like a bait and switch no? Maybe too good to be true? Maidsafe has been at it for over a decade, it has to be a scam. Just riding off the back of Bitcoin! No. The idea has been around since 2006 before bitcoin and though even up until mid 2019 the way in which this vision would be achieved had been R&D’d for the umteenth time, that stage is over and the engineering has been nothing short of brilliant. There are at home tests that can be run through the command line of the first iterations of a working network that prove this technology. Check out the [baby Fleming release](https://safenetforum.org/t/safe-network-dev-update-march-26-...) Or for the less technical crowd you can get your hands dirty with either a network gateway tool called the SAFEnetwork App, the desktop or mobile SAFE Browsers, using Maidsafe’s shared section of the third iteration of baby Fleming. Check out the latest downloads [here](https://safenetforum.org/t/download-safes-latest-versions/30...) and the mobile browser can be found [here](https://github.com/maidsafe/safe-mobile-browser). Once you are connected visit safe://sites to see a few sites others have tinkered with and published or publish one yourself. Some might think the amount of available content is a bit lack luster at first but there is a growing amount of app developers working to publish their apps to a live network. When will the network be fully live? No one can fully answer that and that includes Maidsafe but the R&D is done. The fundamental technology and different working parts are proven and working together but now the focus is on optimizing performance, concurrency and guarantees, and some additional features (such as multi-sig, and later RDF/Linked Data). All the while a professional and intuitive user interface is being designed to converge with the end product that will allow for full access and control of your personal data and web publishing, data sharing abilities. This is one area that is under served in the “crypto” space and one area that Maidsafe is underestimated and will surprise many. The lead designer at Maidsafe has a few things up his sleeve and how the network is uniquely built enables a lot of functionality. Don’t over look or underestimate this project. SAFEnetwork has a very bright future. |

- shut down safecoin.org,
- if not possible : change the name of their own coin and/or project to make it clear it is not related in any way with safecoin.org
- in any case : advertise this issue more largely and more clearly ?
