Anybody else worried that the SAFE Network will get stuck using .safenet :sweat:

Edit: the sooner we get away from using a proxy the better.

Think of it as medicine for your OCD :smiley:
I rather like it, would be naked without that blanket of http:// :sleeping: .safenet.

This is great news, Downloaded the Safe Demo App and the Launcher both installed easily and I managed to follow the instructions for the account secret and password plus generated an Public ID. Managed to upload two small files, one Private and one Public, Managed a rename on both files and downloaded them so all working great. I do not know what Iā€™m doing but its early days and this is my first attempt, did not participate in any of the other tests because I have no clue what Iā€™m doing. Looking forward to learning more. Thanks everyone who made this possible.

I have not properly got a handle on it because if I go to my page is gives me:

{ā€œerrorCodeā€ : ā€œdescriptionā€:ā€œDnsError::ServiceNotFoundā€} Do I need to upload an html index file or something?

I managed to get a handle on the problem thanks to lightyear so I have no corrected the url below.

Excellent news guys. Thanks for the hard work, as we get closer and closer the anticipation grows mightily.
Now, I have a question:

Itā€™s really more like an apache/httpd server thing and not a user thing.

Iā€™m writing some web pages on Ubuntu with the LAMP stack currently (excellent technology stack btw, up, running and developing in no time flat), so when I read this my curiosity was piqued. Does this statement mean that dynamic content can be served on the safenetwork with vaults? Iā€™m sorry if its a silly question, but I remember there being discussion a while back on the limitations of sites/apps on the safenetwork and I wondered if that is no longer relevant.

What makes it so different than any other update ?
Still network is not decentralized and no safecoins ā€¦ What kind of progress happened to call it now Alpha version ?

Consider it a front-end test phase for the wider public. Itā€™s also not what I expected to be called alpha, but I donā€™t mind. The features will come when they are ready, I donā€™t mind the semantics.

Look at it this way, there is much to be done and we are making steady, verifiable progress towards a defined goal. Besides, its Friday. Updates usually come on Tuesdays :wink:

Congrats to everyone in the community!

This was posted from someone in the Bitshares community. There is so much opportunity for us if we can find ways to make everyoneā€™s platform stronger. There are many strong communities right now trying to solve the big data immutability/persistance problem for blockchain techā€¦I think SAFE does it and much much more that make all crypto stronger.

Many things but mostly you cannot expect Alpha to be a big jump, it would likely be unstable and poorly tested and a bad showcase.
The 7 tests got us to a point where the team could confidently call the last test with some new improvements Alpha.
You cannot have a huge leap between the last test and a releaseā€¦ it makes no sense.

Yes, you need to add an index.html or directly point it to another file in the URL. safenet DNS doesnā€™t list directory content for you (other than for e.g. Apache HTTPd does).
