Yeah, sorry, this whole thing is the main disadvantage of not using sudo.
I really wish distros would start putting ~/.local/bin on the PATH by default. It would definitely be useful to have some non-root writable location on there by default.

Is there a way to test responsivity of a specific node? Something like ping but to test against specific node process?
I am running some nodes connected to this testnet, same connection/router, but different machines, multiple nodes on one machine, nodes running on different drives etc. I would like to test differences between different setups, but am not sure what to measure to get relevant data.
Btw I am really excited right now, I am running 100+ nodes from my home network and everything seems to work fine.

Maybe not ideal but you can monitor multiple nodes (ie node logfiles) using vdash. Cycling through the monitored logfiles will show log activity and some other things for the corresponding node.

Yes, it was a silly mistake not thinking on my part.
It should be prominently noted in the main post as late comers are going to read the instructions and incorrect versions cause frustration.
I was thinking the network had issues, not a great user experience for anyone (newcomers) not necessarily willing to power through and see why they are not successfully able to use the network.

The current safe version prepends a RecordHeader to each piece of data. This allows us to distinguish between a chunk/dbc/register, since Kademlia stores everything as a Record in the network. The older nodes cannot handle these headers, as this is a breaking change. This might explain the above failures.
We have a LogMarker PR in the queue that should provide a stable way to denote important events.
Thanks for that 
We really need to get the OP sorted then. This seems like a stable network with low barriers to participation – IF we can get folks to use the correct binaries
If been hammering at and so far don’t think iv seen a single error. Apart from when I ran out of hard drive space for downloading to

safe --version ???
Yeah, for future testnets, I think we need to tie to versions. Our releases are too frequent for anything else.
It was just that for this particular net, we actually want to be able to test that the install process can get the latest version.

Aye, I’m not really sure what’s going on here either…
Locally, I’m testing out the log markers as laid out here: feat(node): expose log markers in public api by joshuef · Pull Request #428 · maidsafe/safe_network · GitHub and this seems to be lining up again, so hopefully this will be straightened out for the next version.
(And if there are more log msgs you’d like to rely upon, please let me know here/dm/on github and we can get more markers in! Same to you @happybeing (or indeed anyone wanting to poke about logs; what msgs are you finding most interesting???)

In case someone is interested, I’ve found how to obtain non-uniform (Gamma) distribution from two uniform distributions (thanks 1 and 2):
Why logarithm appears there is a mystery for me however.

The version is correct and small files are the only ones that, sometimes, download without errors.
In all other files 20% to 40%, sometimes more, of the chunks fail with a rather erratic behaviour.

Can I just ask btw, why are you on such an old version of macOS? I believe High Sierra 10.13.6 dates back to 2018. Not that it shouldn’t work, but it will be hard for us to reproduce issues on such an old OS.
I think I’m correct in saying that other people who have been using more recent versions of macOS haven’t experienced this problem.

So… I’ve put together a proxmox server (cheap lenovo tiny desktop) to replace digital ocean and run all my work and play home machines. I can power them up and shutdown using a pi zero as a wol-server. Needed an always on low power wol-server to ssh in to home because I found out you cant broadcast wake on lan over an openvpn connection. Some hints and tips there for anyone wanting to do the same. Proxmox also runs my win10 VM (SPICE client is amazing) for when I need to do excel work, am fully linux mint on my laptop now.
I’ve installed an ubuntu VM to connect to this test network.
Running all the commands in suggested order and using the tip from happybeing, I get this
“Protocol error”
Running the download command from a new terminal window is successful.
It downloaded fast and plays. Amazing. I’ve not played with testnets for a while and this feels like great progress.
I also tried to start a node…
Yea… I am behind a nat.
upload works too!!!
I guess to download my file the command is,

Downloading my own file works immediatly… I can also change its download name.
This testnet feels polished.
Congratulations.
Also… forgot to say I really love the chain emoji that appears in terminal.
