User run network based on test 12b binaries

Will Maidsafe get the logs from the community test? Might be helpful for more bug hunting.

As a client is there a way to tell how many nodes the network has? Would be cool to have it in the UI telling you you are joining “said network” with 3557 nodes
 or what ever :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

It seems this is all working nicely. The networks responds quickly , upload is fast !

Me too.

Created a node with estimation of node count:

INFO 18:22:32.966388456 [routing::states::node node.rs:287]  ---------------------------------------------------------------
INFO 18:22:32.966614857 [routing::states::node node.rs:288] | Node(07bc97..()) PeerId(3944d983..) - Routing Table size:  10 |
INFO 18:22:32.966765269 [routing::states::node node.rs:289] | Estimated vault count: 11 ± 0 (evaluated over 1 sections)     |
INFO 18:22:32.966887016 [routing::states::node node.rs:290]  ---------------------------------------------------------------

11 ± 0 : No uncertainty here because there is only one section. Imprecision will appear with several sections. IIRC first split will happen above 25 nodes. So there is some time left.

Did you change the SAFE Launcher.crust.config?

Is this where the local group of nodes splits into a smaller group of nodes as the network grows. So 25 nodes will split in two? I might have this completely wrong :thinking: Just a user not a dev here :wink:

What happens when the network is full of data?.. I wonder what error message that gets. :smiling_imp:

Been thinking about the same thing. :imp:

I think will know very soon


213MB. in my vault in few minutes


Looks like my AWS instance crapped out for some reason - been afk and see no log updates since 17:40

Restarting now

I am not sure of the 25 number, it may slightly higher.

Currently there is only section displayed as ().

When the network grows, it will be split in 2 sections 0 et 1. All nodes will be dispatched in them. At that time, estimation will still be exact but an uncertainty will be displayed because the 2 sections will be probably different in size. The program could be improved by checking that the sections in the routing table covers all the xor space but this not useful because this happens only when the network is still small.

Then one on them will split say 0 for instance, this will create sections 00 and 01, and the nodes in previous 0 section will be dispatched in these sections.

Then section 1 will be split in turn creating 10 and 11.

Splits will continue to happen while the network grows.

Thanks for the explanation tfa :+1::slightly_smiling_face:

It’s all very clever! If I could have my time again I would learn to code and write stuff for great projects like this. :books:

I did yes. And managed to delete a quote mark as I did it. That’s the wonder of beer! In now.

For those who don’t like to edit config files, I just did it for you.

Here’s a link to Kim’s website mega. it will bring you the WIN64 Launcher and Vault for this community network:

Make sure to choose: “through your browser” for the most easy way to download the .rar file. It includes:

  • The Vault with the adjusted “hard codec contacts”
  • The launcher with the adjusted “hard coded contacts”

You can connect to the network without using the Vault. You can also try the Vault first. Both the launcher and Vault are from the Maidsafe repository on GitHub. Only the safe_vault.crust.config and the SAFE Launcher.crust.config files are edited by me.

If you down’t like the the idea of downloading binaries from someone else than Maidsafe, feel free to use this link and download the ones provided by them. You can copy the 2 edited crust-files to the folders and replace the original ones for TEST 12b after you read them using notepad.

Brilliant job! will you still need to mess about with the ports as you had to originally in test 12b?
