Hi help needed can some one pls direct me to the mining page , thanks
at the moment there is no mining is still in testnet
It's still in
testnet after
2 years ?!?!
The company is actually 11 years old since last week
.
The testnets started in 2016. We've seen 12 of them, or maybe more if you account for a & b versions. Some of them lasted only 24 hours. if you summarize it looks like this:
- In 2015 Maidsafe decided to move from C++ to Rust. They went from 500k lines of code to under 20k. Making the repo more easy to read and alter.
- In 2016 they delivered 11 testnets when they got Crust (IP-Layer) working correctly. They also refactored Routing making things more secure
- In 2017 they delivered TEST 12a+b so far. It's the new routing with loads of optimizations. TEST 12c could be here any day now, in which they removed bugs and got things faster.
So that's it in a nutshell. They also created their own browser (The SAFE Browser) which is based on Beaker. The "Authenticator" is almost done, and will be part of it. Next to that they're working on APIs so people can make Node.js app for SAFE and connect with other programs. Lot of stuff going on. Next steps will be the "Datachain" (already coded) and "Node ageing" which make sure that data won't ever be lost on SAFE. This includes all dynamic data like replies on website, chats, Safecoin transactions and more.
I expect them to move to Alpha 2 when TEST 12c is done and successful. In that network people can run Vaults from home to support it. On the next testnets (TEST 13?) we'll probably see the ability to take everything offline (simulate an internet blackout) and bring it back full in tact. Maidsafe calls that "Data republish". If all data is secured on the network that way they'll probably move on with Safecoin. That will be BETA is my guess.
Right now I'm looking forward to TEST 12c. Lot of optimizations in the GitHub repo over the last few weeks.
