Enjoy!@!

This could be very helpful for Chinese people that want to test the Alpha 1 network.

The team keeps developing , that is the future.

oh, thanks a lot. it is interesting. I am happy, that even after 2 years from ico this project is alive and confidently goes to future.

I'm not a dev but all the dev-updates can be found on their forum. They post weekly updates and describe what they're doing with quite some details:

guys what has happened. why the price went down. and question to devs - when it will be the next update?

Thank you for the info and explanation.

I am not trying to  push the team ,  just want to know how and  when I should do to be ready to build up a decentralized website or any other bussiness on the SAFE blockchain network.

Maybe other guys wonder too.

The main focus is to get the Vaults (software people run from home that "makes" the SAFE Network) in people's hand again. We had these during several testnets. Now they are being optimized against security attacks and for different bandwidth nodes. This is what they say about it in yesterday's update:

We finally got the routing churn test to pass consistently with disjoint groups: It simulates a network with joining and leaving nodes, and after each change verifies that the new network invariant is satisfied, i.e. every node has made a connection to every node that it needs in its routing table according to RFC 371,

And there's more:

We're down to 3 failing tests out of 102, and those all point to a particular problem with groups failing to send a message while they're in the process of merging. We're already working on the fix for that.

After sorting those out, we will move on to testing a routing example application on droplets, while some of us will iron out any remaining test failures in safe_vault. When those tests pass, too, we will test vault binaries on droplets again, and start implementing the Node Ageing RFC1.

So what is this all about:

"Node Ageing" is the way new nodes join the network. People could start 1000 nodes and try to take over the network when it's small. "Node Ageing" prevents this. So we need this before we get Vaults.
"Disjoint Groups" is the new logic used for routing. It makes the network more secure and probably faster. The Maidsafe devs not only implemented this, they also implemented several tests for this new logic. It tests splitting and joining groups, the join of new nodes etc. Next to that Maidsafe keeps refactoring modules, which means optimizing code to make it faster, more secure and therefore better.

"Disjoint Groups" is almost done, "node Ageing" will probably take around 5 weeks is my guess. They also work on several other things at the same time as you can read in the update. So my guess: We'll see Alpha 2 with Vaults we can run from home in Q1 of 2017. After that they probably focus on the "Datachain" and the implementation of "Farming" with "Safecoin". A lot of great work is done at the moment, but it's not stuff we can see with installers. We'll have to wait until the features are done and tested.     

It is in alpha still, persoanlly I bought in 2015 and they said beta/official is SOON, but after i bought a lot, they delayed again. I lost much money on this project, i was not so patient. You may see beta in 2017, or 2018. It is a slow project

We are seeing the prices correcting or falling because week hands selling or leaving this coin. Wait until the Alpha is released and you can expect to see new interest building up around this coin and some good percentage of price appreciation. Another issues is the large number of coins in circulation, One user has already explained about how these coins will be taken out of circulation. What you got to do is, hold the coin patiently.

when would the team release the Beta version?

One year or two years later?

thanks

Does the new zkSNARK parameters such as in Zcash offer anything new for SAFE network?

It seems like a new form within encryption?

Is this something the SAFE team is looking into?

Here's the full update:

Enjoy!@!

It's not possible to mine Safecoins , you have to farm them instead. From the official website :
Safecoins are given as an incentive to users for providing their resource to the network. This resource is their: storage space, CPU, bandwidth and online time that enable the encrypted chunks of network data to be stored and retrieved from their computer. The process of providing resource and receiving safecoin in return is called ‘Farming’

How to mine this coin?

nice interface I impressed

Great, good job devs.

I guess this is the most important part of the update:


We had several testnets with Vaults, but now they're optimized. Slow nodes will be dropped while faster ones take more load. A Vault
is a piece of software that routes and stores chunks for The SAFE Network. It's where "farming" takes place. I'm quite curious to see how
the new Vaults behave
