I understand that, I made it lol
But how did he get that then? Hacked into the system? 
Something must have been released

He took the currently available code from the repo, compiled and executed in the same way any of the devs would. Given the proper knowledge anyone could do it. Some like to tinker even if the results are less than favorable. Don’t worry, soon you’ll get your day. We all will.

heyhey @whiteoutmashups 
as @Tonda assumed I downloaded https://github.com/maidsafe/safe_core
(to use it you need to download and install libsodium too i think - as described in CRUST DIY instructions & discussions [but of course the newer version of libsodium] )
then simply i ran “cargo test” which triggered all preprogrammed (by the devs) tests =)
…I hope I didn’t cause any confusion (unexpected network behaviour) because of my intrusion

Nice assurement of the devs work, good point to load on more coins.

Are you sure you connected? It looks like the MaidSafe client is just doing self-checks for its data types.
The codebase is cross-compilable, and different CPU architectures and operating systems have different data types/capacities.
I might just wait for the MVP before trying myself, but @riddim if you want to run netstat while your client launches, you’d be able to see the connections to/from the SAFE network.

haha - of course i’m Not 100% sure
netstat would have been a good idea to be sure - but right now it’s hanging at “running 31 tests” … either they reworked something and now have to adapt some other parts before it’s working again or they locked me out 
we’ll know more after the dev update =)
Nahh no lock out, but droplet deployer getting hammered taking networks up and down right now. We have a tool we wrote to quickly deploy hundreds of nodes to test various libraries. I suspect you stumbled on one that was up and get tests running, however yesterday and today it’s up and down fast. Team are working like mad to test fast so it’s a gamble right now if you catch a network that’s up I imagine.
All good though.

Hahaha I imagine their faces looking at their network traffic.
This reminds me of 2001 when Napster lost its court case and was forced to turn off its servers. They turned them off.. but nothing happened. To the surprise of the entire IT department, the network kept running.
As it turns out, someone had written an open source napster server, and so the napster network, even though Napser the company was not involved, continued to run independently for some time.

By the way, there are updated install instructions for libsodium here for Linux/OS X and here for Windows.

Just remembered testnet will get taken down periodically, took as a given it’d be up 24/7
I hope a lot of good data came through, and helpful to the dev team

They’ll need a whole team of gekos and spiders to catch all those bugs.

Looks like updated apps or network/vaults, or both, this week…
Yes, nothing
the MVP [not this week, but a further test release this week] will not have safecoin and safecoin will not go live till after testing

I was Wondering when this thread would get more posts. I’ve been feeling the “update itch” pretty Intensely these last few days, with all the new bug / contribution systems that sprang into life so very recently

My prediction is… Messaging is the next demo app we’ll get! I also noticed tcp hole punching was implemented in nat traversal lib! Most if not all libs had a version update recently. Very exciting! Go Maidsafe!!!
