Pre-Dev-Update Thread! Yay! :D

[Sebastiaan_V]

Very excited about tomorrow’s update!! I have a good feeling.

[ivar]

Me too… hours away. Though im not really confident or even thinking vaults and testnet will be announced… lets see. As someone once said… patience is a virtue.

Crust now at version 0.20.1

Routing seeing some updates coming as well

+## [0.28.0]
± Profile the bandwidth of nodes joining the network. Reject slow nodes.
± Organise nodes into disjoint sections. Introduce the Section and

• PrefixSection authorities.
  ± Maintain lists of signatures of neighbouring sections, which will enable
• secure message validation.
  ± Accumulate messages in the sending group/section, then send the messages with
• all the signatures across a single route. This reduces the number of total
• invididual hop messages that need to be sent.
  ± Routes are now disjoint: Retrying to send a message along a different route
• cannot potentially fail on the same node again.
  ± Merge the routing_table crate into routing.
  ± Remove the internal event handling thread. Events should be handled in the
• upper library’s event loop. That way, some message passing can be replaced by
• direct calls to routing methods.
  ± Remove the PlainData type which was only used in tests.

I’m wondering how slow is too slow. Can it be a problem for people trying to use the network from developing countries? Or is it just for vaults, and slow clients can still use the network just fine?

I believe dirvine said that less than 1mb, vaults will drop. Users still able to run safenet.

@Tim87

d slow c

in another thread i think it was mentioned that for this test it was 1Mbps uploadspeed for running vaults.

[neo]

That was clarified to be 1MB/s (MByte/sec) rather than 1Mbps (Mbit per sec)

The limitations are only for Vaults. So everybody is able to connect to the network as a client (at least in the future). The limitations are quite strict as a start, but might be changed to lower settings.

@AndreasF

To clarify, 1 MB/s is 8 Mbit/s. With the current settings, anyone with 6 Mbit/s should be able to join at the first attempt to complete the challenge, however. We’re still testing, though, and we might also do public tests with different settings.

Today is going to be a great and SAFE day.

[BambooGarden]

really hope you both are right. that would really SAFE my day!

Can’t wait to see the new updates

[Wallet111]

Do you think we’l be able to run Vault from home?
