Vault still maxing at about 3% of CPU… Obviously as an attack this would not work with a functioning currency, but seen as a stress test I think it bodes well for the network building up rapidly.
And unfortunately for them it will do the opposite if anything.
Safecoin can only be developed when certain other things have been done. And those things can only be done when all the required tests have successfully completed.
Its not like Maidsafe are dragging their feet in the progression to the introduction of testSafecoin
Those who are driven by the price of MAID will be disappointed all the time by the time it actually takes to develop quality software that is safe&secure and the coin can only be done when the basics of that are done and tested.
It is absolutely vital that the network will be attacked as viciously as possible as soon as possible. The mission it has carved out for itself is quite frankly gigantic, and if it comes up that it will be unattainable it is better to learn about it sooner rather than later.
My router is UDnP enabled so why can’t I get a vault running?
What network speed do I need to nave? I have about 10down and 1 up…

For now the upload requirement is too high for you (me too).
They’ll probably be able to get it a fair bit lower in future tests, but for the moment only people with pretty fast connections can host vaults (6 up I believe). You should be able to use the network perfectly though.
Can anyone figure out if this script is stressing the downloads, or just filling the network with data & leaving it there?
If it’s also stressing the downloads, it may be a useful stress test that demonstrates the resilience of the network under heavy load… until network capacity fills up.
If this is just annoying, I guess the network will need to be reset when full to enable testing to continue.
In the Vault folder there’s a “safe_vault.vault.config” file.
There’s a setting for the max amount of storage your Vault wants to provide to the network. The default is around 5GB. But I just added a “1” in front of that number to make it go to 15 GB. I don’t know if this is a “live” setting or that the Vault needs to be restarted. But if you have the space and plan on running a Vault, maybe an idea to provide some more space?
I don’t think so, because IDs are very small and the attacker is filling the vaults with immutable data, meaning he is probably using the full MB allowed per PUT balance unit.
I apologise if what I am about to ask, comes across as a stupid question, I am not too technical, but are we positive that, what we are witnessing is a deliberate effort and not a bug?
I hope some of the developers gives us a line here.
