<h1>FAQs</h1>
<p>These following are questions that we have either been asked directly or our staff have come across online. The list is not exhaustive, so if there is anything you want to know write to us at <a href="mailto:[email protected] ">[email protected] </a></p>
<h2>What makes Maidsafe stand out from other projects that promise a decentralised internet(BitCloud, Meshnet., Freenet..etc….)?</h2>
<p>We differ from many of the organisations and products in our space as we have the decentralised Internet at the core of our design. Some of these projects are currently trying to add components that bend them into the shape of a decentralised Internet but these were not what they were designed for. As a result, many of these projects require significant set up and only work on certain platforms. It is worth noting that MaidSafe supports any project that backs a decentralised Internet, however we don’t see any with the same vision as MaidSafe: Privacy, Security and Freedom for everyone!</p>
<h2>Who owns the MaidSafe platform?</h2>
<p>No one, it is a resource there for all users of the Internet. MaidSafe is completely anonymous, secure and repels human intervention of any kind, it cannot be controlled or ‘owned’.</p>
<h2>A truly autonomous distributed network shouldn't need patents to protect it, right?</h2>
<p>Our patents exist in a purely defensive capacity, to protect MaidSafe and the developers that use the platform. MaidSafe do not own the patents, they only have the rights to use them, royalty free and in perpetuity. The MaidSafe Foundation, a registered charity, actually own the patents.</p>
<h2>MaidSafe technology is nothing new, this company us just throwing up marketing hype around it then mentioning Bitcoin, right?</h2>
<p>Our papers, patents and design documents, describe and document crypto currencies being crucial to a distributed network (otherwise identity leaks are inevitable). They’re all available online with early design specifications (such as Perpetual Coin) and were published in 2006, as were many of our initial patents.</p>
