Their marketing is interesting. Always talk of this little town but with far flung experts in all these fields. It sets up your interest level quite a bit. I won't contrast it with how Dan goes into the origin of his idea, but perhaps a bit of consideration in that area could be useful.
Who is their target? Dropbox/google has this stuff already ?
in trial tests conducted for the NHS ( which could do with a secure network), a MaidSafe enabled box to store DICOM images (x-rays, MRI scans, etc) was apparently able to reduce disk space requirements by 48 percent while operating at the same speed.
Honestly I am not sure how this would work. (Not to be a broken record.. but I am not even referring to their token system.) I could run it on my VPS to subsidize the cost perhaps? As a user, I'd be scared whatever is required to maintain my data store would lose enough members to cause corruption. Perhaps some glitch causes irreversible corruption. Just use dropbox/whatever + truecrypt. What else could you purchase of value? An openly available botnet? What happens if my computer has data from a serious criminal? What would prevent a subpoena from having my computer confiscated if needed for forensic recreation of evidence? Having a botnet to use could be interesting, but not sure people would want that stuff running off their computers ?Is there TOR type functionality ? Onion routing ?Who is their target? Dropbox/google has this stuff already ?

They also involved in the "goxcoin" campaign (right after mtgox bursted) in which they asked mtgox victims to support their plan to convert victims' coins in mtgox to goxcoin running on Mastercoin platform. Of course, it turns out not successful, as people quickly identified their link to Mark Karpeles. As a mtgox victim myself, I don't want to get involved in any of Mastercoin projects.

I'd like to thank MSC and Maidsafe for the best opera I've seen for quite some time. Good times on the boards. Ran out of popcorn
