SAFE Network Dev Update - March 19, 2020

Aye. You have understood well. That essentially implements a chunk of your excellent network starter scripts :+1:

And then ‘cargo bench’ will run the (likely to fail at some point) benchmarks thus far.

Looks like I didn’t understand that well…
I cloned GitHub - joshuef/sn_api: This crate implements a CLI (Command Line Interface) for the SAFE Network
built it with cargo build --release
copied the target/release/safe to ~/safe/vault
I grabbed safe_vault_lionel_pr_no_parsec.zip and unzipped it beside the new safe executable, but …

willie@gagarin:~/.safe/vault$ ./safe vault run-baby-fleming -t
error: Found argument 'vault' which wasn't expected, or isn't valid in this context

USAGE:
    safe [FLAGS] [OPTIONS] <SUBCOMMAND>

Not quite sure what you’re up to but GitHub - joshuef/sn_api: This crate implements a CLI (Command Line Interface) for the SAFE Network hasn’t been updated since October by the look of it.

This much is true.
OTOH GitHub - joshuef/sn_api at MoreE2E was updated a couple of days ago. I pasted in the wrong link above - sorry

Perhaps you forgot to actually checkout that branch @Southside? after you cloned it you need to git checkout MoreE2E

yep… its getting late - was up early and went for a walk on the hill for the first time in many many months and I’m knackered.

I’ll try again checking out the correct branch — duh

You’re not the first person to make this mistake :innocent:

@joshuef
Just to confirm, when building from MoreE2E, I should see safe-cli v0.9.0, NOT v0.10.0?? Confused.

....... Compiling safe-cli v0.9.0 (/home/willie/projects/maidsafe/joshuef/safe-api/safe-cli)
    Finished release [optimized] target(s) in 10m 25s
willie@gagarin:~/projects/maidsafe/joshuef/safe-api$ cp ~/projects/maidsafe/joshuef/safe-api/target/release/safe ~/.safe/vault/

then
willie@gagarin:~/.safe/vault$ ./safe -V
safe-cli 0.9.0

It seems v0.9.0 is right: sn_api/Cargo.toml at MoreE2E · joshuef/sn_api · GitHub

So its not liking the -t flag then. I wonder where I messed up this time…

In other news, a 1Gb file get put to the network in 3min 37secs. We may be on the way to sketching out the first versions of SAFEtube :slight_smile:

The following should do it, note that AFAIK you can use the vault recently released, so just install latest vault with safe vault install, then:

  • git clone https://github.com/joshuef/safe-api.git josh-api
  • cd josh-api
  • git checkout MoreE2E
  • cargo run --release -- vault run-baby-fleming -t

With the rapidly growing censorship, this can’t come soon enough.

Perhaps should be moved to the Coronavirus mega thread but this is what US censorship is doing

So that’s a rate of 38 Mbps which is pretty good I reckon. It’ll decrease when network latency, network bandwidth, and parsec overheads are introduced and increase when parallel operations are introduced. This seems like it will easily match consumer expectations of the ‘old’ internet. Will be interesting to see how it continues to change. Thanks for the stats @Southside.

Thank you. Definate progress getting made

I got this and will run it again with a backtrace in the morning

I know where this will come in handy! :smiley:

So possibly another community P2P connection test! This will be exciting to see how much of an improvement quic-p2p is over crust.

Once we have multi-sig I bet some pretty complex and next level stuff could come about. Smart contracts and escrow services anyone? Did the CRDT expert hire work still start on March 8th? Would be cool to get updates on CRDT progress too unless other things have taken priority in which case I understand. The goal posts shift from time to time.

There is so so much to look forward to (definitely looking forward to the functionality Labels will provide, to name one) and the progress and effort are second to none. Great job to all @maidsafe. We thank you.

Excellent. That’s the known issue we’ve been seeing as well there :+1: So you’re definitely not doing anything wrong!

If BLSDKG is a more efficient way to do consensus, why bother with PARSEC at all?
