I was going through GitHub/Maidsafe today and saw a huge amount of code being pulled into the repo. I know that this isn’t done before testing, debugging, and even more testing. Some of the merged pull requests were several weeks old with great tech discussions surrounding them. It’s really clear to me that you folks work really hard to make SAFE a great success. I have not a single doubt in mind that 2017 will be amazing. We’ll have Vaults from home in the coming weeks and I have no doubt they will rock the boat. So great I actually became a shareholder in 2016 in this amazing company :wink:.

Keep up the great work and have an amazing holiday :+1:.

Thanks for a great year, Team! You have been true role models, working on the bleeding edge of technology trying to bringing something miraculous to life. I find no other crypto project with such transparency, integrity and communication. You will have my full support and faith now and far into the future!

I thought the current API was pretty stable and not expected to change much?

What about safe-js? Is having my team / self learn safe-js a worthwhile effort? Will safe-js remain mostly how it is? Or will it change a lot / not be used in the future?

Merry Xmas guys and thanks for all your hard work!

Enjoy some brief respite with your families and I look forward to seeing you change the world in 2017. All this work will be one of the most worthwhile things anyone has ever dedicated their time to if you can get it right. After all, it’s the seed of a total paradigm shift for society as well as for data. It can’t come soon enough, but we all understand there are no shortcuts on the road to greatness :triumph: Good luck!

The last months I worked on my Social, Realtime, Decentralized Energy app and the first PoC live. The idea is that if you consume a kWh of energy you buy it directly on the market from a producer of energy, this can be the solar panels from your neighbor, a windmill in your town or coal power plant when there is no sun or wind available. My house is already producing more energy then I consume and my profile picture is the awesome Zero SR electric motorbike. I investigate Bitcoin, Ethereum, IOTA and Safenetwork and Ill think the last is the best option for this service.

The coming months I start testing with end users and I want to port my Social Energy app to Safenetwork.

Ill be ready when you are ready… :slight_smile:

Thank you for all the hard work on Safenetwork this year, enjoy the Xmas and 2017 will be as least as exciting as this year.

@Yerontour this project sounds awesome! Any particular place we could learn more or should we just wait for the unveiling on the safe network? :smile:

Thanks for all the amazing effort from the MAIDsafe team! 2016 has truly been an incredible year with all your accomplishments. Enjoy a well deserved break and make sure to power-off fully so that you are able to return with full steam in 2017 which I am confident will be an even bigger year with more accomplishments. Thanks for all the hard work and transparency in the fight to make this world more fair, decentralized and private for us all. Merry Xmas to the whole team and the amazing community members!

We don’t have the DataTypes we had before like AppendableData and StructuredData. Now we have MutableData and ImmutableData only.

safe-js is a third party library and @joshuef can explain better about this one.

As far the browser DOM apis are concerned, the approach will be the same. APIs will be injected to the safe: pages. But definitely the APIs will change for the same reason I just mentioned. As you would be knowing, we had to change the DataTypes to allow apps to scale easily.

We understand how the design actually turns out when we start using it, the various scenarios come across and also from the varied inputs from the community. We do regret for breaking changes and in the early stages it becomes unavoidable at times. These changes definitely fill the gaps we identified from previous releases. safe_app module will be much easier to use and understand, when it is ready and tested.

2017 should be a smooth sail :tada:
