I’ll be setting this up over the weekend with, perhaps, my brother’s [developer] help.
What are first impressions? Sorry, haven’t had time to read through the whole thread. Speed seems to be main issue from what I have read, but was expected at this point…
It works, that is all we wanted! now we polish optimise and complete some small bits. tl;dr We are all good 
We are also all tired 
Nice. Congrats and thanks to you all for bringing it to fruition!
Does this mean projected timelines for future releases or is that too much for one great day of victories?!
Yes, well much closer anyway. We will never be under a microscope, but the hard graft and proofs are now in the rear view mirror. So much clearer now, not to bet on, but much simpler.
I think I’m up and going! Could someone tell me how to view the logs? That’s done through the terminal correct? Thanks
It’s the Safe Network, not the Speed Network. How long did it take BTC to do a simple transaction when its first major testnet launched?
I cannot believe its here…wait till usd50. I have a few hone calls to make 
this is an option: $ tail -f ~/.safe/node/local-node/sn_node.log
Hopefully your buddies have forgiven you haha
Hmmmm says that command is unknown or unsupported in the interactive shell. I’m not great with CLI but I am making progress. @Josh how did you check your logs and where should I look to see if I’m storing chunks?
Unless you are on Windows (not sure if Gitbash has it), you should run the tail command on a shell console, not the interactive CLI shell, the tail command is not a Safe CLI command.
A few started calling and asking whats going on. But there were those who laughed this off. Will go see them in my Lambo 
Please don’t let the forum bully you into time estimates. Some here will never be happy no matter how close you get to meeting them. Ready when it’s ready is good enough for the 100 or so diehards that read the weekly updates.
p.s. A fun trick to keep the hall monitors, ms project types and time doomers happy:
p.s.s. Having today be Test Fleming day is fabulous. It really made my day. Thank you team Maidsafe!
I was wrong but now I can just node join in the interactive shell and watch the log output in my regular terminal! I’m not in, yet but I am getting the TryJoinLater message which is good. My router in previous testnets was a real bother so the fact that is working is great!
@Scorch your quick farming guide is so helpful! got me up and running quick. Thank you!
Sure, and I recognize that, but usability has to play a role, as well. In the day and age we live in of instant gratification, people wouldn’t stand for more than a ten second turnaround time to open a website, or start the stream of a show/video if streaming becomes feasible over the Safe Network.
I will say that I am encouraged by the token transfer time. Even as is, it is vastly superior to current crypto technology with speeds rivaling even the fastest current networks and without fees. Game changer. If they can manage to get that down far enough to be usable for (near) instant transactions? Oh boy… the sky is the limit with that alone.
I don’t want to come off as cynical or disparaging. What they have accomplished is amazing, and deserves the highest praise. I’m simply in a state of guarded optimism because nothing is ever a sure thing.
You should be getting some sleep @dirvine after such an epic day !!
He didntanswer immediately, he must be getting some well earned zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
thank you everyone at maidsafe, its been a long and difficult wait.we are on the way to making history.its been a long 10 years but I have kept the the faith.thank you David!!!
Give the team a day off - after the polishing naturally
