MaidSafe Dev Update - 14th June 2016 - TEST 4

hence the pet name system that’s been suggested…

Transfer of ownership of anything should be trivial… whether than is PublicID; subdomain; directory; file.

One idea I’ve not thought through is automating a mapping to clearnet urls. Allow webowners to post a unique file to their clearnet/ top level in order they can claim their safenet equivalent - for a small fee. If requested, then network can check clearnet DNS records first and if it gets a consensus of does not exist from the clearnet, then allow user to proceed. Obviously clearnet is with .com/.net/country-code and without that would clash but that’s the bit not thought through…

any how … here to suggest it’s nice to find new sites:
http://quotes.blindsite.safenet/

and also to note that while refreshing the directory http://explore.yvette.safenet/ I had that curious experience of upload being slow and message suggesting failed upload, despite it being successful. Known issue but look forward to trusting the messages and not being alarmed by them in future.

Honestly, this testnet seems like a regression. Slow load times, upload instabilities, small routing table, tons of warning messages, connection failures, etc.

I’d like to point out that this would seem to be the case when only bad experiences, hick ups and bugs are reported, while all the use cases that worked without any hitches were of course not reported or posted on the forum. I’ve noticed there are more bugs reported on here and github compared to the last couple of tests, but I’ve also noticed quite a few more forum-comers as well, so both are positively correlated.

Perhaps I am lucky but its been a roaring success since the restart I have had zero issues except early on losing access to my account but I feel like I may have forgotten the password.

Same here, been running fine, the only issue I am having is when uploading a file in the demo app. The progress bar never passes 24%, but if I just wait long enough the file eventually gets uploaded.

I also have the 24% hiccup but considering that this is only a test not even Alpha it’s brilliant in my book.

I am trying to browse the safenet addresses but I only get a “Proxy Server Refusing Connections” message all the time. Running Firefox and Win10, and the proxy setup as described here. Any suggestions on what´s wrong?

There is no caching in this test, it will be slower for sure.

It works, but without the trailing /8 Try removing that and you should be fine.

For that one (I hope the other one worked now) you need to authorise it in the launcher.

Nope. Nice catch! I somehow got the impression that it wasn´t needed, but now when I think about it, that wouldn´t make a lot of sense.
