SAFE Network Client Testing Commences

I mean everything. MVP one month, decentralized vaults and churn one, Safecoin one. That’s my hope (the same estimate I had last November) but if it happens faster I won’t complain. Of course it could happen slower as well.

By the way, IMO the MVP testing should have been broken into 2 parts (standalone launcher with MaidSafe vaults and maybe 1-2 CLI scripts that can post stuff to vaults, and then sample apps separately), as the current approach resulted in so much confusion around which part does what and how they relate, plus a flood of “generic” bugs that may be due to this, but also to that (launcher, app, network, vaults, etc).

Another strange decision was to not leave the logs behind (at least I couldn’t find them). You’d think the devs would hope people could simply submit the last 30 lines of their log instead posting generic “doesn’t work” messages, but I haven’t seen anything about the logs.

[I am surprised no one has realized this]

It’s too late to change the way MVP was released, but the log thing can still be improved.
