MaidSafe Dev Update - June 21, 2018

We are also trying to display all the authorisation request information in the popup, similar to the way the existing SAFE Browser does. We intensified our internal testing activities for Peruse in the last few days, and we would like to encourage the community to try it and report any issues encountered since that will be very valuable and helpful to us.

This has been a long time coming! Nice to see Peruse taking center stage finally. I’ll test it out this weekend when I get the chance!

[Lackys]

Could you tell us when we get news about exchanges?

Also, I think that the “finish line” comment is directed specifically at the website redesign.

Correctamundo!

Netsim is a network simulator and a Rust framework to test your Rust networking code. Netsim allows you to simulate miscellaneous networks with different topologies, introduce packet loss, latency, simulate different types of NAT and test the robustness of your NAT traversal mechanisms, all within Rust. This link will provide a little more info: netsim/01_preface.md at master · canndrew/netsim · GitHub

About the PR for the delegates GC fix. Isn’t it supposed to go to safe_app_csharp? (Instead of safe_client_libs. Btw what is this resources folder used for there?)

First and foremost, the fix goes into safe_bindgen And resources are there for the manually-coded parts of the bindings – the parts we deemed unnecessary to generate automatically because it’s hard and/or impractical. You can find resources for both safe_app and safe_authenticator.

And once the bindings are generated, they go into the safe_app_csharp repository, to work as a foundation for the higher-level C# interface to the network (which is mostly coded manually, too).

Hope this helps!

@oetyng

Also, @nbaksalyar , don’t forget to update the MockBindings!

Sure thing Thanks!

@oetyng

Haha, what? I am tired and had a vacation beer, so can be that, but I don’t get the videos and all that.

Just a bit of fun. Think of it as a wee palate cleanser before attempting to digest the routing.

’m perhaps too hypnotized to read it.

Annnnnnnd you’re back in the room.

That’s great! Maybe throw in a link to the roadmap or something to give it context as to where we’re at.

Well, there’s really no roadmap regarding uTP - it is feature complete, but we keep hitting some bugs since its implementation is at very early stage. Keeps getting more robust with time though

Does “LAN discovery” include internet connections? Last I checked LAN is your local area network.

Nope, LAN discovery only works on local networks. For Internet connections we use hard coded and cached contacts. Also, cached contacts preference is higher than hard coded ones.

I don’t even know what netsim is really, nevermind whether I should be happy about it or not. I assume in order to use any of these tutorials one has to learn node.js?

Hehe, well as @nicklambert mentioned it’s a Rust based framework. So no nodejs Crust is implemented in Rust so netsim integrates with it really nicely. If you’re not a developer, probably netsim won’t make you much happier. But for many developers who have some networking code, this is a really useful testing framework.
All in all, it allows us to better test our code, hence make it more robust. We want those connections to be reliable within SAFE network after all

@maidsafe

Crust is undergoing major encryption changes. The integration of safe_crypto is in progress and planned to be finished next week.

Did you recognize that a time scale was given here? =O now that is interesting

Very very cool - I love Thursdays

[povilasb]

Hehe, it’s easy to tell when a road will be built, but it’s hard to say when the city is ready

[19eddyjohn75]

Fun update Maidsafe devs, hang in there super ants.

[momahonyb]

The complexity of the Synths of ‘Beach House’ is a great analogy of how the safe network works. Great update

[Harvindar]

Woohoo. At least something will cross the finish line

[Nigel]

@maidsafe

@bochaco and @joshuef have been spending most of their time in scoping LDP/SOLID integration. The LDP integration will help us design the data as structured and scalable. It will also help in improving the collaboration between apps/users

How the heck did I miss this?! Damn this project is SoLiD! I wonder how much effort this will take. More details on this next week would be cool if possible. This will give the SAFE Network even more of an edge.

[Joe_C]

+1, Pretty sure 1st update of the year indicated that we’ll be getting listings this year

[wes]

So, I know that I’m way late to the party, but I’m just now trying to mess around with the API in the browsers. In the Peruse browser, I have access to window.safe, safeAuthenticator, and safeAppGroupId.

Beaker is just safeAppGroupId.

Both of these are straight off of Git because I wanted to build with mock routing. Am I missing something / too early / too late / wrong build?

Really wanting to play with the api playground.

Even if it’s a “you need to wait 1-2 weeks to things to finalize” that’s fine. Just want to make sure I’m not being silly.

[upstate]

Have you checked oout https://hub.safedev.org/ or https://forum.safedev.org/?

[wes]

Thank you sir. Someone else having same issue. Hopefully we get this sorted out.

Problem with testing Peruse v0.6.0 and web API playground 3.0

I heard on Friday that the secret service had a hearing in congress to perhaps ban privacy focused currencies like Monero and Zcash. What are the chances of them coming after Maidsafe after a successful launch? Perhaps making it illegal etc?

If that were to happen - could the project quickly be broken down into 2 from positioning standpoint -

Decentralized storage - where companies/individuals can simply leverage the decentralized storage component of maidsafe using existing internet browsers and the way they run their business today (without the use of safenet browser etc). Something like just download the wallet, convert your computer into a node and participate in the decentralized storage market. A product/service to replace companies like siacoin, storj, box.com, dropbox, and all/all local storage systems. This is a multi trillion $ market in itself.

The second part of it is building a safe internet for everyone - peruse browser, etc etc. That way even if some law bans the second portion of the project above, the investors in this project are protected by simply maidsafe being a solution for decentralized storage.

May be 1 and 2 cannot be delinked but I just want the development to be done in a way that if the whole private internet concept is banned by gvernments then atleast certain components of this project (decentralized storage etc) can still function and be used by everyone (large corporations, individuals, everyone included).

Thoughts?

(If Safenet is not banned then we are all set to fulfill the entire dream of a fully safe, secure internet. I am all in for it but I dont want to be judged - I like the project but am also always concerned about my investment in maidsafe because of these type of news of goverments banning privacy etc. so just sharing my thoughts.)

[Harvindar]

Any updates on the exchanges?
