Hello all,
From Adelaide Australiaā¦ 30yr old network engineer who got on the bitcoin train early, but also left early however was still fortunate enough! Moving to Greece early next year which i look forward to!!
Stumbled on Maidsafe in bittrex by chance, researched after purchasing and decided to hold. Essentially the project overall was exciting and look forward to getting to play with the browser & hosting services available! Good fortune and health to you all

Myself is a Metallurgical Engr. from India, But always inclined to Finance. I have Maidsafe on hold since some years and very much positive on itās outlook. Every innovative idea takes time to be implemented to reality and itās never an issue for me. Happy to know Safe Network team is setting up their development office in India. Obviously a great news as they understand the potential of worldās fastest growing major economy.
Lots to come for sure !!

Hi - my name is Rayne Gardner. I learned about MaidSafe just recently from a link in the Firefox browser and a bolt of lightning struck my brain! My background is in mathematics - while earning a degree in statistics I was required to take some basic computer programming classes - I fell in love and went on to earn a degree in computer science. I hop around between developer and analyst jobs and Iām excited to have learned about this amazing project and hope to contribute in some small way.

Hello together,
i am coming from the web application security sector and i stumbled over the SAFE Network Project while searching for a possibility to create a decentralised loginserver for an old, outdated game whose loginservers have been shut down long time ago. The game isnot multiplayercapable anymore due to the lack of a login server. My goal was to create a decentralised loginserver. I would like to try out and learn more about the ideas of SAFE Network.
Maybe it can help me in pursuing my projects
Best regards and many greetings,

Hi everyone! My background is 20 years of IT, currently in Scientific Computing at a research center. Ever since experiencing the start of wide spread internet usage, and watching it slowly devolve into centralised silos, Iāve been dreaming of a technology like the Blockchain and accompanying innovations to level the playing field once again. Without biased gatekeepers and OSS, not the biggest, but the hardest working will excel. True competition once again.
When I have a better understanding of MaidSafe, I will be putting time into developing/spreading the technology/ideas further.
Hope to speak with you soon.

Hey folks! My name is Sidney, Iām a product and ui designer slash developer from Antwerp, Belgium. 
Like most of you I was introduced to bitcoin around 2011, but had no clue of its potential impact or what the underlying technology and paradigms could mean. Not until a couple of years later in my life when I discovered the amazing ability to create for the web, and started learning whatever I could about it ever since.
Today Iām posting here (roughly 2,5 years later) because I recently stumbled upon MaidSafe and Iām absolutely mind-blown. I came across a lot of seemingly similar projects before such as ipfs, ethereum, golem, storj, etc, ā¦ but quickly came to realize that MaidSafe is a whole new beast of its own. Iām slowly trying to grasp its entirety and hope I can be a contributing member of this community one day.
This project genuinely gets me super excited about the internet again.
All the best!

Hi everyone! Iām Winnie K. Mandela.
MaidSafe appeals to me because of their objective of providing safe access to everyone. Seeing what has happened to Etherium in July of this year and a few days ago, we really could use this. I even wonder if this affected the prices to an extent?
Being a Marketing professional myself, MaidSafe is especially intriguing to me because of their low profile approach of doing things - staying heads down and getting the job done, knowing that once they have a good thing going, the marketing will come naturally and that will be the ideal time too for them to get the word out.
I was happy to get in a few weeks ago while prices were low and am extremely excited to see what the prices will be 5 or so years from now!
Go MaidSafe, Go!

Hi All,
My name is Chris, I have been fiddling with IT and computers from a young age, you could say that I have turned my hobby into my daytime job.
After a stretch working as a sysadmin for various companies finally to settle as a in the public sector I was getting this tingle of restlessness that I needed to do more than I was doing.
Always felling an urge to learn new stuff and being ever curious I decided to 180 and deep dived into a totally new field for me Security.
A colleague mentioned safe network to me and the more I heard the more enthusiastic I got.
Now I am here and the rest is history
Regards,
Chris

Hello everyone, Iām Dre Parhusip, currently living in Coventry, UK and originally from Indonesia. Loving the idea how MaidSafe, through SAFE network, aims to make the internet decentralised. And I see this as a positive technological disruption, particularly for those concerned with internet privacy and data storage. Interested and looking forward to see how MaidSafe will change the internet hence computing landscape.

Hi,
My name is Stephen,
I was first introduced to MaidSafe by a friend Paul almost 2 years ago. Iām a full time software developer and find the idea of the SAFE network very interesting. At this point Iām just starting to ask more questions myself as I donāt yet fully know everything about the SAFE network.
I truly believe this is the way the internet has to go. The ācloudā has become such a common term used by everyone but not everyone understands that its just someone elseās computer that has all their data. A lot of these people either donāt know or care that their data can also be accessed by someone else!
I would love to get involved more and contribute in some way, perhaps I will look into developing an app

Hi All!
My Name is Yeramin, I am Software Developer based in New York. I found out about MaidSafe a few years back when it was in Pre Lease for Alpha 1. I am super excited about the amazing work and community that is being built through MaidSafe. Our worldās internet communication needs a change for a decentralized, free/community based and secure medium where we can freely communicate and build a healthy non-monopolized network. MaidSafe is making this change a reality!!!
I am looking forward to help and contribute to the project in the best of my abilities.
Letās build a better world!!!
