MaidSafe Dev Update :safe: 31st August 2015 - Part II

I’ll probably cause more confusion than answers. But I’ll try to help with what little I know…

When someone access say for example safebook with his browser (safe: safebook.com) how can he access his account on this page without entering any credentials? I read somewhere that on the safe network we will have one password for every thing so i;m a bit confused how this all work?

You’re referring to a dynamic website which is more complicated than a static website. Right now, I don’t know how dynamic websites work.

Regarding credentials, you have a unique ID when you create an account (self-encrypted profile) on the Network. This means all your PUTS are mapped to that account, which includes creating other accounts (keys).

I hope I’m explaining this correctly. I may be wrong.

In other words, your login + password + pin = your master account/ID

Then any other accounts you create on other websites like safebook are all linked to your master account. So it’s like a big key ring, with the ability to add individual keys to your ring. The safebook website only uses your safebook key, while another website will use a different key. So yes, you only login once, then use whatever individual key you have created: safebook, safegames, safepress… etc.

David said in answer to the update that next will be messaging and then safecoins but no mention of safe client, will this be integrated in the sprint too?

From what I understood, the SAFE Client is the SAFE App Launcher. That is where people create their SAFE Network Accounts. The 2nd component is the vaults, which seems to setup and run independently right now. And the 3rd is the Browser Addon which can browse uploaded webpages. So I think it’s like this…

• SAFE App Launcher = Used to create/login to your accounts, full access (GET/PUT) on the SAFE Network

• SAFE Vault = Needed to start farming Safecoin, provides resources to the SAFE Network.

• Browser Addon = Enables SAFE website browsing (GET only). Anyone on the regular Internet should be able to browse a SAFE webpage without an account. However if they wanted to PUT (comment, send msg, upload) they will need to create an account. In which case, they may need to use the SAFE App Launcher.

Could you describe how will the safe network look like when completed?

I have no idea, because things could change very quickly.

Ideally, everyone would only need to download 1 bundle. They would select their operating system and it takes them to the correct bundle similar to the TOR Browser Bundle. However, we have a lot of development ahead before we can start putting it all together.
