Some community members would like to reserve their publicID’s. Maidsafe needs money, so why not bring the two together?
Regis.nu is a Ethereum powered auction site, that can be used to auction premium publicID’s.

No reason why we need to use ether, btc, euros, usd’s, yuan, if the brain trust here cant come up with a solution to reserve Pub ID’s using Maid, we may as well shut it down and go home. This aint rocket science
A solution is to just let people pay Maidsafe directly to create a publicID through the Maidsafe Demo App. The problem is how do we give the premium accounts a different pricetag?
A solution would be to have the ‘create a public ID’ on the Maidsafe Demo App function as a auction. It would work like this.

Reserve you domain name with a price you want to pay for it.
popsci€10
After you pressed ‘bid’ you pay for your domain and it shows up on a list, after 24 hours it’s your unless somebody overrule your bid. -
This is how you can overrule a bid, by paying more like so:
popsci€100
But besides bidding, people can also tag a domain as premium. For instance if I think popsci is a premium. What I would have to do is:
popsci€premium
When a domain is tagged as premium, the tagger pays €10 to tag it and the domains starting cost is €1000. So the two previous bidders would have to pay €990 or €900 + €5 to the tagger.
After the 24 hours the tagger would get her/his €10 back and the highest bidder receives popsci.
But those are just again my ideas, I think it would be a lost for Maidsafe to not monetize on the SAFE Network’s publicID. Other people surely will…

Fully behind the notion that the MaidSafe project itself should benefit from this opportunity rather some random other group(s).
We need revenue and this seems a reasonable way of generating some. Doubt it will solve all problems and the “accidental” MAID will still need sold but every mickle maks a muckle *
