Don’t know for sure, but this might give less people the Rick Astley experience in coming releases:

Sorry would someone mind translating the above into English please?

12B 2 sleeps or more?

[anon40790172]

I don’t know the details of this. Looks like the bootstrapserver (first connection of your Vault to get addresses of other Vaults) forces your node to open a port or something. Otherwise no other Vault could connect to you anyway. Or something like that .

@anon40790172 Does this mean community run test nets will be possible???

[anon40790172]

I don’t know if this affects that. But it should already be possible to start a testnet as far as I know.

MaidSafe Dev Update - February 2, 2017 - Test 12

It should be possible to start a new network. I actually just did and made a topic about it. But due to problems with my IP and port forwarding it couldn’t be done . But here’s a way it should work: Before you do, make sure to edit the safevault.crust and to pick a name for the network. Do the same with the SAFElauncher.crust use your terminal to start a Vault using > safe_vault - f the f means first and it let you start a network as a seed-node. [image] [image] Add your IP to th…

And even more activity.

Just merged:

Maid 1943 browsing facilities #14

[WIP] Tests for mutable data api #19

Don’t want to be too speculative but does anyone else here think that safe_appjs and authenticator are coming with test 12b?

[DavidMc0]

That would be awesome to introduce the new way of working for dabbling devs, and make it easier for people to get started with browsing from a single download.

Excited for Thursday, and hope they’ll announce test 12b, though previously I seem to remember that with the tests there was usually 1 dev update saying the test results, then another week before the follow up test.

Edit: well, it definitely won’t be announced on Thursday… Wednesday is even better

Don’t know for sure, but this might give less people the Rick Astley experience in coming releases:

As you may now have realised this was done for test 12b and unlikely to remain long term when hole punching doesn’t have the socket problem.

Although a seed node, especially the first node would still need uPNP or port forwarding if behind a NAT router since there is no network yet for hole punching to work.

Looks like it’s really really close

I wouldn’t be surprised if we see the end of the Launcher and Demo App today. Make sure to grab a copy and store it somewhere ;-).

fingers crossed, fingers crossed!

Short-term roadmap

We’re currently working on getting Test 12 ready. This will allow users to run vaults from home. This test won’t contain the new client API (with mutable data). It’s purely about the features related to the routing update (disjoint sections and resource proof). If this test is successful, we will move right to Alpha 2. If Test 12 shows issues, we’ll patch them and maybe have another testnet before Alpha 2.

Test 12b seems to be a success. I’m sure it will be sprung on us much like Alpha 1. Who is willing to hazard a guess?

Having seen who the other fellow is that likes your prediction makes me like it even more.
