Thx 4 the update Maidsafe devs
Maybe we should as community more actively approach people who can help with the project. Can’t hurt to see a few new pr from strangers
Should this not be BORG and in all caps? Resisting SAFENET is futile!

I think it may work in future, but not now.
People should learn how project work, but they can’t because it does not work.
The testnets are a hint that it does work, i think, the code just need some ironing. Would be fun if we can get some Rust coders to look @ it.

Perhaps reach out to Bogdan of Lets Get Rusty on YouTube?

Analysis from someone who did not heard about this project may be useful, yeah.
But I doubt that random people will want to do repairs at this stage of development.
Maybe they can find some bug by chance however.

Without any backing for the coming claims, thousands of dev-hours has been spent on keeping all platforms updated/debugged. My hope is this has now stopped and more Resource’s are put to peal all fluff off the onion, so basic puts/gets works for weeks in coming testnets. If that is achieved, just slap a insentive model on top and done

Atheism is also just another believe, with a problem though… There is even less proof of it being true (0; Anyway this is not about religion, but about an update, great work in progress guys!

Any idea when the next MacOS/Windows testnet will launch, rough estimate? I don’t follow Safe network day by day, so I’m a little lost about the status atm.
Still remember my first local Safenet in 2015 when I saw some interaction between 3 terminal windows…that was magic.

Has anyone tried to use a testnet with WSL?
1 Like
Just installed WSL on windows 11.
Installed rust, built the latest code and ran a local Linux testnet just fine.
Easier than using a VM on Windows… I think.

I tried WSL for about an hour, one year ago or so. Then I decided I wanted to take a deeper dive and created a dual boot laptop with Windows and Ubuntu (no experience with Linux before that time).
Never looked back to WSL, but good to see it is working

I eventually got tired of the battle between windows and Linux for the boot partition, actually it took just one update/mistake to inconvenience me.
Here are some options I have played with.
- WSL2 - my quick and dirty fix for ubuntu commands in a windows environment.
- https://www.virtualbox.org/ A really good alternative to dual booting. Once
I’ve setup a good machine I clone it as a backup for future machines. Good enough
to develop something to use of a dedicated Linux machine later or shh on to servers. - Hot swap my drives. Am lucky enough to have a laptop with SSD accessible
by removing 1 screw and 1 panel, maybe I don’t even need the screw. I
carry 1 drive for each OS. You don’t need expensive SSDs for most jobs, the 120GB
are about £15 on amazon and is plenty for playing around. - Only recently I opened my mind up to second hand, dirt cheap, ex corporates laptops
on ebay. I thank the expensive and unavailable raspberry pi market for this one.
I’ve had to invest in little circle coloured stickers to keep track of which hard disk goes with which laptop now though.

I install Linux on one of these SanDisk Extreme PRO® USB 3.2 Solid State Flash Drive (128 GB - 1 TB) | Western Digital. Even heavy distros like QubesOS run at a decent speed.

What keeps you using Windows?

Excel - I use it for work and LibreOffice is very limited. Everything else I do can be done on Linux now, pretty much anyway.

We have a new windows addition to the family.
I just built my 13 year old his first pc (birthday present)
He wanted windows although he is familiar with Linux because they are taught on Windows at school, they use Microsoft office, Photoshop etc so I cant really blame him for wanting what he is taught on.
Idk how I feel about schools essentially selling these products to the masses. But that is a hard nut to crack.

It is. Microsoft and Google are heavily embedded in UK schools too. And of course you have to create an account to use them, which means they get to track you for profit for as long as you use it, which for many people will be years. I had to buy a Chromebook for my son, just like we had to buy him a school uniform.
