Any news of Debian packages?

BTW, I’m not affiliated with Maidsafe in anyway. This is just my best guess based on the current level of progress seen in the test networks and over development. In other words, take with a grain of salt! Its the waiting that gets you, the team is playing their cards close to their chest for good reason. But when they’re ready, ho boy you’d better not miss that train buddy.

Are there any immediate plans for a GUI for the vault?

We’ll need to have a wider discussion about what support we will be offering. It is likely to be relatively basic in the early days and will improve based on available resources.

Not immediately. It’s certainly something that gets discussed often to have some sort of a “Vault Management” interface and the recent RFC such as Vault RPC by iancoleman · Pull Request #153 · maidsafe/rfcs · GitHub is interesting to be able to expose such management functionality via RPCs from vaults.

Having RPCs from vaults and allowing management apps to interact and manage vaults plays well with the idea for vaults being lightweight and running in the background as a daemon/service. Worth keeping an eye on that RFC as it can be a neat concept that doesn’t couple a UI to Vaults but be more extendible.

The amount of support required is directly proportionate to the quality and intuitiveness of instructions, installers, launchers, app’s, etc. Support teams are expensive and companies that have to rely on support teams are poorly run. Know your audience. Answer all the questions before they’re asked. Proactive=$PROFIT , Reactive=$LOSS

Looks awesome as always!

I anticipate that you are already know this, but for completion sake: there is also a very recent brotli implementation for rust by Dropbox, which – to my understanding – is purely rust and doesn’t need any external libs. Just in case you weren’t aware…

Update: additional info on the Dropbox Blog.

Yes at the moment the pure rust part is only the decompressor which is strange. Hopefully they will get the compressor done as well.

Maybe we need a bot demo app that creates network activity automatically.

Speaking of the chunk store directories, is there now a means of specifying the path to the chunk store, a config entry or command-line switch?

Yeah I know special characters are not allowed as publicID’s at the moment, but I wanted to use some Chinese characters to celebrate the exchange that added Maidsafecoin. :confounded: but get this…

‘-’ should work in a publicID, but it doesn’t :stuck_out_tongue:

Another thing that I still don’t fully understand about publicID’s on the SAFE Network. Will they have three parts like clearnet domains?

1 www, can be whatever the user wants
2 publicID, can be whatever the user wants
3 safenet, can this also be whatever the user wants?

It works … I just registered smoke-y.safenet
