and if you get that far can you run these commands please - I’m looking at another potential issue/unexpected behavior
safe keys show --show-sk
safe keys balance
I think I should see a value like 770.0000 for that last command, right now I am getting a zero balance so Im wondering if I have done something wrong or the bump in sn_authd to 0.7.3 has broken something else? I had this kinda working earlier though
Hah, your tadpoles got lost but lucky for you I found them at 2:37 in that OJ video. You’re welcome. 
Yay - auth create is working now with 0.42.2
but:
user@user:~$ safe keys show --show-sk
No SafeKey found at /home/user/.safe/cli/credentials
My favourite bit is at 2:57 where Zeke smashes the teacups.
Zeke had stayed in our flat for the previous couple of years and was very fine chap indeed. Originally from Rhodesia (as it was) he found life in Glasgow as an itinerant muso and part-time student much more conducive to his inner serenity than doing what he was born to - Son#1 to the chief of the Manyika tribe and now part of the new Zimbabwean government. A series of very official looking letters from the new Zimbabwean Embassy in London started dropping through the letter box as well as the usual letters from Zekes mum. The gist of it was that Zeke would return and fulfill his tribal duties or the first thing that would happen was Zekes pocket money from back home would cease immediately. This was a crisis for ALL inhabitants as it wasnt the first time we needed that dosh to feed us all. Then two very large chaps from the Zimbabwean Embassy turned up looking for Zeke. We thought it was the drug squad getting creative so we told them to go elsewhere and procreate. So they came back the next day when Zeke was in. We tried to reason with them and chill them out but that failed cos they politely explained that they could get far better dagga at home. So eventually poor Zeke had to make plans to return home. A Goodbye Zeke party was immediately arranged. Then Zeke won a stay of execution so we had another party. And then another. Rinse and repeat for a few months with regular Going Away parties for Zeke. Memories vary as it was a very hazy time but at least five separate parties took place. Finally it could be put off no longer and we all accompanied Zeke to the train to go to London and pick up his tickets for home. Getting on the same train was Edwyn Collins and wee Davy McClymont from Orange Juice on the way down to do some recording.
Next thing we knew, Zeke is on TOTP with OJ having suddenly become the drummer. Once he got some ££ for that, any question of going back to Zimbabwe was out the window 
He came back to Glasgow reasonably often (another excuse for a party) but the last time I talked to him he still hadnt gone home
0.42.2 ?!?! You are doing this deliberately to confuse me here.
Yeah I saw this too.
oops getting ahead of myself 0.41.2
Great story btw.

Thats a LOT faster than I was getting – thank you
If you want to get bold you could change line 48 of that script so the some or all of the larger files get tested as well
for i in 5MB 10MB 20MB #50MB 100MB 200MB #commented out for speed up dev and test
Next step is to GET the files from the XORURLs and compare the checksums - just for the correctness of it… then see what the download speed is
Once we get a proper testnet up and we get several folk all uploading these files we will see what the benefits of deduplication are. But I need to clean up the script first to make it more attractive for folks to run.
Fantastic story, go Zeke!
No the thing was - Zeke didn’t want to go
Yep, and he didn’t.
Anyway - if your bilge crisis has abated somewhat , can I persuade you to look at that script?
The hassle with sfe keys show balance not behaving as expected has scuppered my plans to check how many coins got used for each run of this test.
OPEN_BALANCE=`safe keys balance| tail -c13
do puts n stuff
CLOSE_BALANCE=safe keys balance|tail -c13
echo "cost of storage was " $(($OPEN_BALANCE-$CLOSE_BALANCE))
I have the syntax wrong on that last line but I cant see what I have done wrong and now I can’t test it.
50MB and 100MB. Didn’t try 200 as my USB is filling up and the CPU was getting agitated.
Now to try downloading and checksums.

Sorry, I’m have a creative break and drinking nice wine waiting for my boat to sink.
Will be up late tonight watching The Killing which the BBC are gradually making later each week thinking that it will make me use iPlayer, but no.
So no promises, John is your man though. He’s more dedicated than me.
Slight problem - I can’t see the zip files there, only the checksums. 
No the actual test files will be at the xorurls that are written to safe-xorurl.txt
I should suppress that message
It’s a conspiracy! Sooner or later you’ll be too tired to steer your boat and it will just look like a terrible accident.
I feel like I’m steering that boat trying to download these files…
So here’s the container for the 5MP file

What’s the get command from here?
(It’s been a while…)
Sorry John, I was at my dinner…
That file you are looking at is the checksum for the 5MB.zip, you want the first xorurl in safe-xorurl.txt.
My intention was a wee script that would loop over the contents of that file and
safe files get $xorurl
so if you just feed it the first line, you shold get the 5MB testfile.
When you do, dont try to unzip it, its not a valid archive, none of them are. but if you md5sum it - it should match the contents of md5-5MB.txt
