I don’t like the idea of 2 parallel networks, one with good performance and the other without. I prefer only one network that works perfectly:
-
If the droplets offered by Maidsafe to the community are concentrated on only one network, then the likelihood of a network failure is decreased.
-
Users need to be accustomed to run a vault to be able to upload files, because at the end they will need to earn safecoins to pay for the puts. Having 2 independent networks is not a good model for that.
-
My personal safe sites were linked to a vault that gathered information from the network. That means I need both aspects available on the same network (vault + client part) and this is the reason you don’t find mystats and safe-galaxy sites on current test net and more generally you won’t find them on a type A network (but anyway, in a few days, the real reason will be my holidays!).
Until safecoins are introduced, the solution to prevent failures of type B networks is to lower the upload limit back to the level defined previously on past successful test networks with user vaults. The reason is simple: As soon as a new test net is unveiled, the first thing that most people try is uploading the biggest video files they can.
