Is it free to have a website on the safe network? If yes can someone explain to me why is the current internet charging to have a website and not the safe network?
On SAFEnetwork you do pay for a website, but only for storage: so just the one-off cost of uploading.
On the internet, websites are stored on commercial servers, so the people who provide these charge everyone who uses them for the cost of hardware, maintenance and energy use.
Same as a regular website. You can use relative URLs just like normal, or use a SAFE URL to link to a different SAFE website, it’s to a page on a SAFE website.
It’s all opensource code including the core network libraries. So an alternate for any part of the system can be created.
As for your original question of combining Login/Create account. Two things to consider there.
The UX issue itself where a user could have made a typo while logging in for PIN/Keyword and you’ll now be setting them up with a new account(not very nice).
Secondly it will be hard to implement this without sacrificing some of the security features of the system.
Say in simple pseudo-code to implement this we’d need to:
Make a Get Request with the provided PIN/Keyword
If successful, then decrypt with password locally (as normal flow)
Else, create a new session packet and encrypt locally with password and PUT on network
soon enough a failure to get a Login Session Packet will not trigger a failure back to clients(StructuredDate TypeTag 0) but the network will instead create a dummy session packet encrypt it and return it to the client. This helps prevent people trying to brute force detect accounts on the network as even an incorrect PIN/Keyword which doesnt exist would likely return a encrypted session(dummy one created by the network). This breaks the pseudo approach tho as you can’t seamlessly detect when to create an account as any combination attempt will always result in a DecryptionFailed error rather than an account not found.
On my Ubuntu 64 laptop (12.04), when I try to log on with the same credentials as on the Ubuntu desktop (14.04), the launcher tells me to enter the correct details.
On your 12.04 laptop, are you able to create a new account? cos if that doesnt work, the binaries might just not be ok with the 12.04 machine than the credentials being invalid.
If you are able to create a new account on the laptop, however cannot log into an account you can log into from your desktop, that definitely can point to an issue.
It seems to take forever to create an account on the laptop. We might just need to use more recent OS. (anyway, 16.04 is just around the corner and will be perfect for my small SAFE farm. )
Seems like you’ve got to delete the old file and upload the new one. One by one. Tedious for bigger projects. That’s why this is all the more impressive:
I’ve just tried http://bible.safenet and voila, someone’s actually working on it!
If you are on Mac OS, check if you are using any kind of VPN or proxy Chrome extensions (you know that if the ‘Change proxy settings’ button is disabled in your Chrome > Settings > Network), if you do then disable that extension. That worked for me, I had ZenMate VPN enabled and as I disabled it, SAFE net started to work as expected in Chrome.
If you are on Mac OS, than only way it will work is to create new service (new, unused service name) and upload your whole folder that contains index.html of your page. Dev @Krishna_Kumar already confirmed that file chooser in Demo app has a bug which does not allow you to select a single file.
