I can’t tell if this is a simple question or a tough one… Is there yet a route to calling some capability outside the network? I can’t get my head around how a request would be addressed, to see it answered. In the absence of a server on the network, will it be possible to pass a request to some po…

[image] davidpbrown: but what of the other way round?.. a user on SAFEnetwork wants to access capability that is not within the network. mysearchrequest->outsideworld This is what my response was intended to answer. I’m saying that for SAFE users to have access to things outside the network,…

Yes, I expect you’re right as it stands and fits with my impression too. However, my instinct is to challenge the boundaries of what is possible, rather than settle for the normal…and doing that early on perhaps helps too. If we consider what the internet is used for, perhaps we might expect that …

[image] neo: Well if its an application that needs this then it simply does it the same way it would without safe network. And obviously a “native” application and not a browser application. Yes, but the problem is not solved for a pure safe site. I don’t know if this will be still true with…

I agree with the value of your probing. You seen to be taking about two things here: Things that might be hard to achieve on SAFE. Can you give any examples of things you think might not be possible on SAFE, some websites from that list perhaps? The value of creating a bridge between a SAFE user a…

Antifragile: It is Open Source, anybody can modify official browser and create custom one, which does not block anything Yes, but I am interested in the official one provided by Maidsafe. I could develop my own browser or I could develop an app but there are 2 problems: It’s much harder t…

[image] happybeing: Can you give any examples of things you think might not be possible on SAFE In my case, it’s not about something that isn’t feasible on safe network, it’s about something that would be too costly, like a rapidly changing database.

[image] tfa: In my case, it’s not about something that isn’t feasible on safe network, it’s about something that would be too costly, like a rapidly changing database. Can you give me specific examples? The reason I’m asking you and @davidpbrown for examples is because then we can see if we …

[image] tfa: too costly Do you mean costly as in too much money ? or as in too much stress on the network ? or as in too much computations ? From what I understood, the money part is yet to be designed, so I suppose tuning ratios between farming / market / demand could solve this.

One way to do this is to use SAFE as a kind of shared memory for a distributed app. Let’s say I want to make an app and I make a client for the app which will run in the browser. I can then also make a “server” side component. This would be another app that I could run for example on a virtual mac…

[image] nice: Do you mean costly as in too much money Sorry for my imprecision: I meant costing too much money (in safecoins). [image] happybeing: Can you give me specific examples? My old safe galaxy site is an example. The states of the sections were reevaluated every minute. This…

If I’m understanding David correctly here, it looks like messaging might also give you an option for temporary storage of frequently changing data:
