Most people have never even heard of the project but I'm so excited they're finally going live! For those who don't know what MaidSafe is, in a nutshell it allows anyone and everyone to run client software and become part of one big giant cloud based server that pays you in crypto (similar to Steemit) for sharing your unused computing resources with others in the network. People will be paid out for everything from unused CPU time and storage capacity, to even unused bandwidth while you're sleeping!
A very ambitious and awesome project indeed! Amazon's AWS and Microsoft's Azure have a new contender to deal with, and unlike their business models the MaidSafe system pays you for your participation instead of you paying them for the privilege to participate!
This is indeed HUGE News for those of us who have computing resources that sit idle, collecting dust while they become obsolete. We can now put them to work for others and be rewarded for helping build the world's largest crowdsourced cloud computing platform.
