Pre-Dev-Update Thread! Yay! :D

I think David indicated he thought it’d be a week or two, so it could easily be at least another week before all of the issues they wanted to address are solved.

I’d be surprised if it were ready for tomorrow, but you never know!

However this week I’ll probably be harvesting my potatoes! :smile: Literal farming to fill the time between waiting for the next step towards the metaphorical kind.

60:40 new test network this week or next IMO. I’m seeing some version changes which are sometimes a good omen. :wink:

I just harvested tats, beans, beetroot and corn to go with our chicken for dinner. We had all-home-grown gazpacho for lunch /shameless brag :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: Decentralised farming FTW!

I wish I could get a dollar for every time I hear this suggested.

I think this quote is significant from 7 days ago. And as @happybeing says it will be a testnet first

Can someone explain how the next testnet turns into Alpha2. I’m thinking from a marketing perspective, the noise will be around Alpha 2 not another testnet version

Technically. It just remains running and called alpha2. There may or may not be a reset of the data/vaults.

Promotion: why not just announce it when its decided that it will be alpha 2.

I guess I’m trying to understand why someone makes the call that we are at Alpha 2. Why not call testnet 18b (or whatever). Alpha 2.? Is it just bedding down the next testnet a bit more?

System URI arrived at version 0.2

Version

Some links for the SAFE Browser are moved to (Amazon Web Services) AWS as well.

And there’s more

AUTH

Core

SAFEapp

I would guess TEST 18b today.

If the next testnet is sufficiently bug free then it can remain running as alpha 2, but if a problem occurs that stops it from being able to run a long time or it fails one of the alpha 2 goals then more bug fixing and test again.

Love it!
Our SE Asian node in the DFN (Decentralised Farm Network) will have Tamarind, Sugar Apples, Gac, Inca Star peanuts, Papaya, Mango, Dragon Fruit and other fruits and veggies in season.
Too bad the SAFE network can’t transfer edibles as easily as data!

Looks like there is some work in the gossip protocol that was mentioned in last weeks update by @michaelsproul just want to tag @mav as he showed some interest in this last week though you may already have this link. Edit: went back it was the swarming mechanism in the accumulator that was of interest.

Ok, today’s football matches are finished: Belgium won with 9-0 (a pity the 10th didn’t fall) and the Netherlands lost with 0-4 :wink:
That was a nice distraction for waiting, I’m ready for the weekly update now.
