As usual Windows isn’t playing ball. Here’s the error on trying to create a Safe:

I’ll try on a different machine in a bit. Has anyone succeeded on Windows yet?
That may be a problem with the network not fully formed/bootstrapped, perhaps retry with killing all nodes ($ safe node killall), and starting the network again? (this doesn’t seems to be platform related).
Yes I had a good cleanout before I started. I often have problems on this particular machine, so it may be something very specific to my setup. I’ll try a different one after a few more attempts.
Edit: It’s working now I found some old Maidsafe stuff in Appdata and got rid then restarted everything. No idea if that’s what solved it, but I’m on the road.
@happybeing Latest vdash builds in Windows using the --features=crossterm flag, but it seems to be static, ie it takes a single snapshot of the logfiles rather than displaying the data in realtime. Is that to be expected?
It feels close though, right? I see David was committing changes even on Christmas day. It feels like there is a real will to get this test net over the line.
Could you tell to normal non techy person, does maidsafe work show something big is coming or its just little thing they managed to do in these years? Could we see all something in near future or It’s only mirage? Because I’m here for 4 years and want real smell of product… Every time it looks so close, but it never come to live
Have you used the Alpha 1 and 2 versions,
the community edition and the shared node of Vault phase 1 and to what extent?
What’s coming is definitely big for me who wants to create websites and apps on them and use other people’s apps.
They’re not doing little things.
It’s like they’re trying to create a 3D-printer that can churn out skyscrapers and they started out with your standard 3D-printer that can create plastic beer coasters in 6 hours, with sanding.
They’ve changed the machine to handle cement, got rid of the box model and went for the “tentacle model” for flexibility, made it hundreds of times faster, gave it better resolution, etc…
Those are huge changes to their initial machine, which has cost them enormous amounts of time and effort to redesign.
And currently to me it looks they are getting close enough for me to build tool sheds and toilet stalls next week/month, with their last redesign having started six to three months ago.
