Was: "My finances for working on LilyPond" - Development / Cryptocurrency

[Philip Rhoades]

People,

I was also a bit shocked about David's post (makes me feel a bit guilty 
about our previous fights . .) but it might be worth mentioning this 
project:

  http://maidsafe.net

  http://maidsafe.org

Although the main intention is in developing "Internet 2" - entirely 
based on encrypted, decentralised, distributed, secure and anonymous 
lower levels of the network stack, as part of the development it is 
incorporating into the network its own cryptocurrency as the mechanism 
that encourages "farmers" to supply storage space and creative people to 
put their stuff up on the network.  My background is BioMedical Research 
and IT but I have been dabbling in SF short story writing and publishing 
for a while now (http://domain-sf.com) and I will be putting my stuff 
there when it gets launched (probably early next year).  The point is, 
if the new SAFE network turns into a big deal (I think it will) then 
there is the potential for people to earn "SAFEcoins" just for having 
stuff available there and being downloaded, looked at etc.  If it is 
successful, SAFEcoin will also be exchangeable for fiat currencies - 
eventually I think it will be a viable alternative to fiat currencies.

I have a few projects (mostly tech related) that I will be moving to 
SAFEnetwork but it is generating a lot of interest for creative types 
because it guarantees being paid according to popularity eg a site for 
Lilyponders to post their work and for downloading sheet music?  Anyway, 
it might be worth the main developers and others taken a loot at it . . 
I will mention it to Tim who is working on N99 for SAFE:

(and complain to him about the background colour of that page while I am 
it . .).

Regards,

Phil.
