Fantastic update. Really seems to be getting closer to test net time!

I guess this is the reference: - YouTube

Definitely before my time. Worth a watch?

Keep up the great work MaidSafe… you’ll be rolling out the new internet before anyone knows what hit them!

I guess this is the reference: Charles Endell Esquire - Episode 1 - 1979 - YouTube<

Thats the one!!!

EDIT: Oh and congratulations for trying to drag this back on topic

Thanks to all the devs for their continued hard work- it really DOES need repeated cos we do mean it most sincerely in amongst all the O/T pish ripping

It’s an interesting place to be debugging, there’s a lot of logs and messages, and they’re coming in all sorts of orders so we’re really testing the edges here.

Yes, I was walking the streets of Helsinki the other day, and heard this weird screeching noise, like gearbox of a car overheating, but there was no cars, I was in a park. Then I checked out the Github and noticed that wind blew from the west. Oh yeah, guys are thinking.

Good job once again, thank you!

And here is one last one …

Correction: @Sotros25 @Sotros24

I fixed it, thanks

@Mendrit

public testnet will be Tomorrow

I think your expectations aren’t realistic there. There are more components to the network than the one component (routing) that they said feels ready.

[Sotros25]

Thanks Dimitar!

I look forward to joining this test.

We’ve been continuing testing and debugging multi-section networks this last week.

The icing on an already delicious cake.

@maidsafe

implementation of the SectionChain data-structure which is now a proper CRDT

@maidsafe

This is precisely what we wanted when we removed Parsec and now it’s finally here.

The cherry on top.

Thx 4 the update Maidsafe devs and community code diggers,

Wow just wow this weeks update has so much good news

@maidsafe

With this change in place, the filesystem feels in terms of speed like using a regular operating-system fileystem such as ext4 on Linux with an SSD. Perhaps not quite as fast yet, but same order of magnitude.

We are being spoiled in so many ways

@maidsafe

And all of this is achieved without involving any complicated consensus mechanism. This is precisely what we wanted when we removed Parsec and now it’s finally here.

Hihi this puzzle is solved, Maidsafe devs always deliver

@maidsafe

One such place is the Invite creation utility, where existing users can help get a friend on the Safe Network.

I’m probably looking in the wrong place, can’t find the UX code, would be handy for translation some day

Keep hacking super ants we’re so close

[Scorch]

@maidsafe

@bzee seems to have been progressing well with his napi conversion of sn_nodejs , which is great to see!). This isn’t headline exciting news, but it’s one less thing to be tackling when we’re satisfied with testnet stability.

Modest much, haha, keep up the good work!

@maidsafe

Good news! This week saw the first files transmitted from one SNFS node to another via BRB.

Now tihs is a cool piece of news, and something a lot of people can get behind I think! BRB has been a really interesting tech that’s paid some big dividends lately it seems. Can’t wait to see what else we can use it for.

Really good update this week and lot’s of big things happening. Nice work MaidSafe and to the community at large (side note: I’ve been watching the Friday marketing chat recordings in my free time, and they have brought about some really interesting discussions. It also gave me a renewed appreciation for how much time and passion our community puts into this project!).

[Mendrit]

Looks like, but I am not sure what all is left.

This pre-dev comment was related to few bugs, which were solved.

[Harvindar]

Coming soon…

[DeusNexus]

Amazing update again, I love the Safe Chat. Those are really insightful and shows this project really knows how to do it’s R&D.

[TylerAbeoJordan]

Thanks for the update Maidsafe team. As the components come together I figure there will be a lot of tweaking and that could go on for a long while - at least that’s what I’ve mentally prepared for - yet I get a feeling that things are progressing faster than I expected, which is nice.

Keep up the efforts - we are all looking forward to what will become possible post beta!

This week saw the first files transmitted from one SNFS node to another via BRB.

SNFS is having access to your SN files through a mount point as if it’s a hard drive, right?

I thought SNFS functionality was built in the application layer on top of the regular network, but it actually requires a special type of SNFS node?

[happybeing]

No special node. Think of it more as a combination of data types (a tree CRDT plus immutable data for the files) which form the sn_fs API. Then on the client apps will access the sn_fs API programmatically, or you can run a CLI app which mounts this on the local filesystem so that all the other apps you use can access it as part of the local filesystem.
