#MaidSafe (or as I've been calling them, "the maiden savers") announces more improvements in #SAFE_Network. This again sounds like "we're almost ready", but they are quite a bit closer than they were before.

There was a guy that used to talk about MaidSafe all the time on Diaspora. Now he has a Mastodon account, so he occasionally links an announcement.

So the way I understand it, SAFE Network is supposed to combine secure and distributed network storage, some sort of identifiers meant to protect against corporate surveillance, various applications & services running on the platform, and (non-blockchain?) transactions. I'm sure I'm not telling all the good things it is supposed to do or enable nor all the bad things it is supposed to prevent.

It has been interesting to check back on the project once in a while to see how far they've gotten. In all honesty, their development process seemed pretty slow, so seeing some updates this year, it seems like they broke through some important barrier.

One more thing: I've never tried it. I may or may not decide to try it once they have their official launch (currently they're running temporary testing networks). So not an endorsement.

I'm just interested in seeing the things people are doing to try to free people from the control of corporations.
