Happy Friday 
We have another wee playground set up for folk to dabble with this weekend. 
This network is 30 nodes large, each with an 8gb storage capacity. We’d ask anyone wanting to join use a smilar sized node. There has been one split thus far.
You should be able to connect to with the 0.58.4 release thus:
-
remove
~/.safe -
On unix: run
curlhttps://raw.githubusercontent.com/maidsafe/safe_network/master/resources/scripts/install.sh| bashto install the CLI -
On windows run:
Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maidsafe/safe_network/main/resources/scripts/install.ps1')) -
run
safe --versionto make sure you’re on the correct version (0.50.4of the CLI). -
run
safe networks add playground https://safe-testnet-tool.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/public-node_connection_info.config -
safe networks switch playground
And you should be good to go 
If you’re wanting to try joining with a node (which may take a while):
safe node install
safe node join OR
safe node join --skip-auto-port-forwarding OR
safe node join --local-addr <ip of device running node>:<port> \
--public-addr <your internet public ip>:<port opened on router> \
--skip-auto-port-forwarding
The network has been hammered a reasonable amount so far, adults have around ~700mb of data on them just now.
Most of that’s junk test data, but there is a small set of jpgs uploaded at the following xorurls for anyone wanting to pull some data:

What we’re testing
Right now, what we’re looking for is to test connection handling / general stability. We’ve seen an occasional issue with longer running tests (once in about 25 mins of a test run), as nodes currently dont retry cleaned up connections (they will eventually retry this, but it’s been so intermittent during testing this was not deemed to be a blocker atm 
).
If something does fail, please be sure to try again to verify any data failure. Please note the time of the failure (UTC), and if you can rerun your command with the logging variable applied, eg: RUST_LOG=safe_network=trace safe <command> and keep those logs, that would be mighty handy.
We’d also like to see how data replication flows go on a larger, but more “natural” scale. (We’ve seen some issues here, so this is where the net may fail… we’ve changes coming in that should help this in the end too, but that’s still in the works). So hopefully folk are able to join okay as the network fills up. 
That’s it. Let us know how you get on! 
and I’m in!
