Disclaimer : I am an early investor in Safecoin (Maidsafe will be exchanged for Safecoin when latter become fully operational) and have purchased more recently.
We all have seen the drudgery of alt-coin scams and many of us see all new crypto with those lenses. But Maidsafe as a technology is revolutionary. It has the most non-marketable name till date and is flying under the radar.

Tor in itself is a great resource but it has not been successfully channeled to masses. Maidsafe can change that. It further unlocks a huge underused resource. It can disrupt multiple industries. Many file and web hosting companies have invested decades and billions of dollars in creating massive web services infrastructure, Maidsafe is in a position to create a better alternative with far smaller barriers to entry, more features (security, decentralization, fault tolerance) all built into it.
Don't let the name discourage you from seeing the potential of Maidsafe
