I’m a retired IT manager and tech enthusiast with over 30 years experience dabbling in a variety of systems and eco-systems. My latest project was to root and customize a couple of old phones with resources from the XDA-Develpers group and a new privacy-oriented phone OS start-up called /e/ - your data is YOUR data.
I am totally impressed with what I’ve seen so far (a half-hour in) of the MaidSafe project and looking forward to further exploration.
Glad to have you aboard, David.
/e/ looks like an interesting project (struggling to see how I pronounce it when speaking tbh but that’s probably me more than anything else).
The community here are a great bunch and I’m sure you’ll fit in very nicely.
The /e/ folks themselves are having a discussion about the branding - a combination of pronunciation, searchability and trademark issues, if you can believe it. Nonetheless, a privacy-centric mobile OS is a good idea. Here in Canada, the carriers are lobbying for the right to monetize user data - yet another instance of surveillance capitalism. But that discussion is for another forum I suppose.
Hello. Completely new to MAIDSAFE here. I am CTO of Oracle-D, a community and dApplication building project on the STEEM blockchain. We are one of the biggest projects on STEEM, with a lot of reach and reputation on there. We have been exploring how the SAFE network could be utilised to help us solve a big issue, and would welcome a conversation and potential collaboration with safe developers.
It’s been very interesting walking through the forums whilst I waited for my basic trust level, a very novel way of ensuring someone is serious.
Speak Spanish, we have a spanish forum? guide? the world is the people and the diferences, included the languaje.
Im emocionado for stay here, i see a good project, organitation and order. About the levels… think than is many dificulte with the languaje. Any way i hope than i can will be part of this community.
Have 2 cuestions.
How can i run a SAFE node?
2.If I run my node for a year or two creating a reliable and secure node but my computer is ruined … I lose my confidence level?
"frabrunelle MaidSafe Sep '17 should i create 30 topics?
No, you just need to access / visit 30 topics."
What if beginner read it’s own newly created (moderated) 30 topics. Does He read topic right after publishing it? It depends on rule(s) of course, but I think that moderated (voted pro) new created by newbie topics can be merged in all 30 topic prerequisites. So let me try create new topic with this.
Assuming your goal is to get trust level 1, so that you can get an invite: no need to create 30 topics. Just read 1 hour (see also opening post of this topic). You have only 15 minutes to go
Once you have read those topics you’ll have satisfied the criteria and have gained trust level 1. Now you can request an invite token to create an account on the Alpha network and start browsing SAFE sites, create a WebID, chat on Patter, build your own website or even create your own mobile DApp.
Ok, then new users can enter these selected 30 topics. But they don’t need to read all of them from beginning to end. That would take them days to do it.
Sorry - was just trying to give people a range of topics to read rather then leave them to it. I admit that it might look a little bulky but my thought process was that if 30 topics need read then I would list 30 possible topics.
I’ll take the term “fast-track” out of the post.
"Rather than using a plug-in for existing browsers which could have cookies, trackers and scripts the SAFE Network has it’s own custom browse.
I think the last might meant to be “browser” not “browse”.
Am I doing this right?
Another intro that puzzled me at first was this one:
Interested in: Just browsing?
First you need to reach [Trust Level 1 ]… on this forum. Just read a few articles for an hour or so. You’ll get an email when you’ve achieved it.
At first I thought it meant that I needed to reach trust level 1 just to browse these forums! Might a less ambiguous heading be
#Interested in: Just browsing Safenet?
I mean, it’s blazingly obvious in retrospect what is meant but might help onboarding for the less technical crowd like me, who can still be useful for spotting the occasional error
This is a link from 2014 from a person who has just introduced himself… There is nothing to do with anything else in the forum. You have not missed anything
