Balance between the time of launching and 100% security with no bugs

Two months? Hehehehe, here is how I remember the never-ending story of how I came by to get to know Maidsafe and related things a really long time ago:

Maidsafe history as I remember it:

Some ancient Maidsafe Google-hosted place
e.g. https://archive.today/EhxEM from years ago with early descriptions of technology and layers, self-encryption, pbkdf(2), researching some DHT back then lead me to maidsafe-dht, the some Google mailing-list entries to subscribe to which never took off or never received any information from those, eventually getting into slight email contact with David.

Then there was some Reddit http://www.reddit.com/r/darknetplan/comments/1x9kkz/maidsafe_will_do_for_data_what_bitcoin_does_for/ and other places linking back to some historic Maidsafe area and thread on gsfc (GetSatisFaCtion) that gave early rants and inquiries into Maidsafe development and potential release and roadmap, that thread alone was worth 4 years in occasional discussion, eventually that place maybe became too embarrassing or awful and apparently the gsfc area got renamed into some random string or so maybe for the search engines not to associate the term Maidsafe any more with the place, eventually the whole gsfc place was abandoned and taken down.

Meanwhile there was a brief (about a year or so) presence on Facebook, when also new terms and wording had been introduced, hence came Lifestuff and Workstuff and Golifestuff and Goworkstuff, plenty of domains appeared, there briefly was even a phpbb or similar forum and board up on a separate domain of its own where some test-posts and greetings appeared.

Then of course as you already guessed all of this disappeared again ;), Facebook was bid farewell and claimed that if or better say when Facebook walked down the privacy road and respected users freedoms one would return back to the fb/maidsafe playgrounds. Ah yes now I am even remembering the Novinet interlude which preceded the then-renamed Maidsafe layers and overall change in wording and terms. Oh and don’t forget multimedia, as some videos and Youtube appeared every now and then, teasers, or even a very old video of some windows app and gui or mockup showing the Lifestuff some introductory video, which was years later again remade by Shona and so on.

After that Maidsafe.net website appeared, there even was some mobile sub-site I wandered through the html back then, and visited the site via mobile browsers just to try to find new tiny bits of information, to no avail :wink:

Much more happened along the road and I have probably forgotton many things already as I have followed the Maidsafe adventure for 5-6 years by now.

So don’t want to scare anyone away from these grounds but delaying a mere months is not ‘quite’ describing the real story here :wink:
