There is no network right now.

You can use the test mode with mock routing, here.

I included several apps for you to use also. Only works on Mac & Linux right now:

Yes theyā€™re still creating the network, and only release networks when they have something specific to test.

But they also release Alpha networks so that people can play with them for a long time. But the alpha one is missing right now. So weā€™re all waiting for Alpha 2

There should be a stable alpha 2 network up soonish. There isnā€™t one right now because it came under attack and, because it was only for testing, didnā€™t have any defenses in place. So MaidSafe are taking a few weeks to implement these (ā€˜node agingā€™ for example) and then weā€™ll be good again.

Alongside that they will also create temporary networks ā€˜test 20ā€™, ā€˜test 21ā€™ etc to test new features (such as ā€˜mutable dataā€™) until the next stage which will be Alpha 3.

You can follow the weekly developer updates posted on this forum every Thursday evening, about 19:30 GMT. These describe weekly progress and often announce new test networks.

Hi, Iā€™ve recently downloaded the first beta, and Iā€™m having an issue connecting to the network via SAFE Launcher.exe. Iā€™m getting the following error:

Is anyone else having this issue? I;ve set the LAN settings on my windows machine as follows: http://visualiser.maidsafe.net/safe_proxy.pac

@John_Tolle-Barlow There is no current Alpha or testnet, stop in here tomorrow for a new dev update. Itā€™s possible there will be a new testnet tomorrow but at the least details on the progress of how close it is. After a test net with the new Authenticator flow and data type Mutable Data then an Alpha 2 will likely come shortly after. Hope this helps :smile:

Also, testnets only last a day or so, so the one we are truly waiting for is Alpha2, which will allow community testing long term

Appreciate how fast things are moving. Iā€™m running a meetup here in Melbourne, Australia and have wanted for the last two months to demo live, but on both occasions there hasnā€™t been a live net running. Next meetup this coming Thursday. Any suggestions?

Many thanks

Hi.

Thanks for providing this pack.

Trying to get this up and running and was surprised that the Safe Launcher is asking for an invitation token, even though itā€™s an offline mock, right? Is that correct? Iā€™ve tried different gmail accounts, including ones I havenā€™t used before and itā€™s saying ā€œInvite Limit reachedā€.

Would really like to get all of this running for our meetup on Thursday.

Many thanks

Peter

ā€¦ and also just tried Twitter. Itā€™s now saying, ā€œInvitation already issued, ā€¦ā€

The mock routing pack does not connect to the live network, so you can just type anything into that field.

Yes, as @JPL says, you donā€™t have to worry about that part. You can really just type anything you want into the invitation field and it will work perfectly.

I usually type ā€œhiā€ for example :slight_smile:

Thank you, duh, probably wouldnā€™t have thought of that. Great, weā€™re up and running.
