Pre-Dev-Update Thread! Yay! :D

When they started the most recent testnet (3) the devs specifically said that it was to test routing, churn, etc and that data, uploading and account creation would be spotty at best. This was intentional and I fully expect to see the next version purring like a kitten…

@Ross

We are prioritising Routing traffic and taking aggressive action to drop all other traffic if a node cannot accommodate the network traffic as we expect - THIS WILL RESULT IN NON-ROUTING DATA LOSS - in this test that is exactly what we want to assess. This means that from the Client side we expect to see lost accounts, lost files, etc, but we should always have a Vault network that will scale and continue to accept new connections. So creating web rings (for example) within this iteration is probably not the best way to contribute. Running a Vault and testing out the Launcher and running the Demo Application will help create useful logs to analyse - just do not be surprised if you experience some data loss.
