maidsafe is nothing but vaporware, why would you even bother with it. there are working solutions already (steemit & ipfs)

MaidSafe is vaporware. That's quite interesting.
Would you write a post and elaborate on this?

No need to post, I can summarize MaidSafe in a comment:

this covered all the working parts of maidsafe.

I have made contact with juan benet of IPFS and have asked him specifically if he can get me in touch with whoever is wanting to work on filecoin. Filecoin is largely a dead project from what I have been told by some of the IPFS community, so it is entirely possible imo to create filecoin for IPFS :)

why not use, you know, steem?

Images, sound and video are are large files relative to text. Storing those on chain would make the blockchain incredible large really fast.
