I think PiedPiperMaidSafeDistributedDataChainBackedDeduplicationUtilizingDataStorageAndAccessibilityCoin has a better ring to it?

Good idea, and how about in these Wikipedia pages:
Anyone want to edit those? You need to provide a citation but I think @MaidSafeâs tweet of the credits would do for that. I have a Wikipedia account but have rarely used it so anyone fancy doing this?

Good plan. Yup, the link I posted above is to a wiki for fans of the series, not Wikipedia. Entries on real Wikipedia pages would also be good.
Having that screen shot in the credits, would be good proof - and should mean that the edits are accepted by the Wikipedia admins.

The comments on the twitter feed say it all. 
Now there is also a TV serie called Safe on Netflix: Safe Season 1 | Trailer [HD] | Netflix - YouTube. 
âSkycoin: the real Silicon Valleyâ said exactly no one who knows whatâs up⌠The shrewd might ride the Skycoin Binance pump to wisely dump their profits into MAID for SAFEkeeping.

Never heard of them before. Went to their site and see theyâre making hardware to run the network. They donât want people using their own PCâs. Also found this link where the guy says they spent six years rewriting the bitcoin code three times. So their whole âsix yearsâ schtick is not six years doing non-blockchain stuff. They do some non-blockchain stuff in the background, but itâs more like VPN links between nodes, I think. They seem like smart enough guys, but itâs not the new internet and they probably never intended it to be. This author just decided to pump them that way.

HBO could sue Skyscam to the ground for using their actors images like so . Not cool to do so anyways as we all know SAFENetwork team are the ones who made the post episode credits 
.

Someone should really contact them with a screen shot.

I caught on to mentions of it (skycoin associating itself with Silicon Valley) a few weeks ago ⌠put my âbetting fundâ in⌠doubled. Sold and all profit into MAID today. Some of these pumps are predictable and should rightly be milked to reduce their power and redirect the resources to the right place.

Skywire is a meshnet so itâs for actual internet infrastructure. I think the idea sounds interesting. Seems to be the idea is something like a wifi access point where you get skycoins for sharing your internet connection and connecting to other skywire access point to create an alternative network.
Seems that it would needs lots of people in the same area to have the hardware though. Thatâs a challenge. Using cell phones to make a network instead would avoid that problem,but then you have the battery drain issue instead.

The challenge could be easier once the SAFE network is being quite widely used, if the right incentives were in place.
The concept does sound good, and in theory with a mesh-net, any weak-links could be incentivised to a greater degree than strong links to encourage active network expansion & gap filling.
I hope the Safe network adds in this kind of feature in the future, or at least that itâs built on top of it.
Hardware options for SAFE network could be awesome:
- Simple network attached SAFE Vaults (basically consumer NAS like WD MyCloud with custom firmware)
- Home wifi router + vaults
- Home wifi router + vaults + mesh network capabilities
Iâm guessing all of this would be relatively easy to develop, and could make adoption of SAFE very easy⌠much easier to plug in a simple SAFE vault to generate some Safecoin than starting to mine Ethereum or Bitcoin, and provides value to normal people beyond the monetary value of the tokens farmed.
Proof of bandwidth on a mesh network could be interesting as it necessarily must guarantee decentralization. The people whoâd want bandwidth are distributed all over the world and the connection would be a local wireless connection,so thereâs no way it could ever be centralized.

The FOAM project has that for their system.

Wait, so Skycoinâs devs/people ACTUALLY said that the show was talking about them? And they has absolutely no contact or association w/ them? I donât even know what Skycoin does, but I got the impression it was a scam coin

Yep-- about 4 weeks ago, all of a sudden, any time silicon valley was mentioned commenters would show up and write comments like âthis sounds just like skycoinâ, or âpied piper coin is real, check out skycoinâ, very quickly after the original post. Started happening on numerous forums⌠rapid upvotes and high visibility. It was a very obvious change and I was paying attention because of the news that the SAFE folks were advising and from previously looking into skycoin a year or two ago. Typical pnd stuff.
