An Invitation to what comes next (safenetforum.org)
It’s a big day for the project and for #MaidSafe, and we're inviting you to an event on Discord next Tuesday....
happyborg, Next week is big week for Safe Network:
- Monday: updated White Paper
- Wednesday: new branding
happyborg, What if someone was to demonstrate websites on #SafeNetwork using #Servo? 🤔
Seems do-able:
- static blog created with #Publii desktop #CMS
- versions uploaded and preserved using Safe #LocalFirst Register #CRDT
- view website, current and previous versions
- #decentralized DNS (Safe NRS) as here: https://forum.safedev.org/t/a-safe-naming-system-to-support-versioned-websites-nrs-dns/3325?u=happybeing
#StaticWebsites #p2p #WebDev

safenetwork, The Roadmap to Launch (and a glimpse beyond)
So here we have it folks. A path to guide us through the final turns of the journey and across what to some might feel like a finish-line, but is the start of a new future.
On top of what our expanding team is working on, you’ll have lots of opportunities to be involved directly in this roadmap—and be rewarded for getting stuck in.

safenetwork, Update 7th March
This week has seen us working on the remaining tasks to be tidied up before beta and the next testnet. Plus there’s been lots going on with comms behind the scenes.
happyborg, I caved, and created a throwaway account to watch the #MaidSafe Twitter space in a few mins (9pm GMT).
After following and helping this project for a decade I really don't want to miss out on the fun of #SafeNetwork's launch year.
I'm gonna enjoy this ride!

happyborg, ICYMI: MaidSafe (remember them) have appointed a new CEO to take Safe Network from beta to launch and are starting communications today, with online events starting tomorrow (Xitter spaces), and new roadmap this week.
New CEO is @forthebux who helped take Gala Music and Gala Games to massive success in a few months.
If #MaidSafe are new to you, their #p2p #SafeNetwork is designed to transform #privacy, #security and autonomy, helping us reverse decades of centralisation and #enshitification.
safenetwork, Update 29 Feb
Our new CEO Bux will be taking many of the partnership and commercial activities off David’s hands, leaving him free for some serious thinking and able to really get his hands dirty once again.
Bux has masses of experience in Web 3 projects, most recently Gala, and is a perfect fit for our project.
New staff members will join soon to help us with the AI aspects of the vision.
Watch out for a roadmap soon.
happyborg, (edited ) ICYMI from last night...
- #MaidSafe has a new CEO, Bux (#SarahBuxton) ex #Gala COO.
- beta next month
- launch in October
- leveraging secure, private personal storage to provide personal assistant AI based on your data without sharing it with anyone else.
- David to retire into his garage to make robots (kidding)
safenetwork, Tonight at 9pm GMT/UTC some of the MaidSafe team will let loose on the world.
The future will not be controlled by corporates or governments. The future will be what each individual acting in unison makes it.
Tune in and tune out

happyborg,
safenetwork, It’s a big day for the project, and for MaidSafe. Yes, we are 18 years young today, but it’s way more than that.
We are opening the next chapter. A chapter that will massively accelerate things, in a way that you are probably unaccustomed to!
Join us on the new Discord server

leo, @safenetwork Why use Discord? I don't get how this is consistent with your project.
safenetwork, @leo Certainly not out of choice, but as the project nears launch the team felt it had to be where the key audience is in number to gain the necessary traction.
It’s a big day for the project and for #MaidSafe, and we're inviting you to an event on Discord next Tuesday....
safenetwork, Update 22 Feb
ValentinesNet is still going strong, so all being well we’ll keep it alive til we run out of space or release a breaking change.
We are moving ahead with updates on the fly, and hope to put it to the test on the current testnet. Basically what will happen is that node IDs and data will be seamlessly retained even as the sn_node software is updated.
safenetwork, (edited ) Testnet klaxon 🔊
ValentinesNet
We have a suspicion that the high-mem nodes are those that subscribed to gossip for royalties. This testnet is aiming to probe that hypothesis by removing gossip royalties!
The aim here is largely to see if we have avoided such high memory nodes.

safenetwork, Update 8 February
Yesterday we launched our latest testnet to analyse the effect of encryption on node memory performance. This builds on the previous QuicNet, which saw a move from TCP to QUIC, and drew a rapturous response.
QUIC is evidently the future. Nevertheless, this being cutting-edge engineering, for every step forward the law says there has to be half a step back ...

After QuicNet blazed itself to the ground, we’re back with a network that Does not encrypt data at nodes. (In order to see how much that contributed to mem-spikes we saw). Derives payment keys from the PeerId key, so restarted nodes should be able to accept payments now. Has more logs Here we’re looking to see How this lack...
happyborg, Safe Network is testing use of #QUIC (using #libp2p) there's a new testnet live to test it out.
Anyone can join, no special hardware needed just Windows, Linux or MacOS.
In short: looks about 4x faster for uploads and downloads than using TCP and seems to use less badwidth, similar RAM.

happyborg, Q: What's the status of Safe Network?
A: "We are beta testing the core network → going well and seems solid
We are debating tokenomics again in house → going well answers soonTeam are moving onto the API and possibly demo apps will apppear."

safenetwork, Update 11 Jan
Two joyous announcements this week. One, the listing of eMaid on a new exchange, BitMart.
The other fantastic bit of news is the arrival of a new MaidSafer Jason.
We are delighted to announce that we have partnered with #BitMart to offer a primary listing for #eMAID (ERC20 token) with trading commencing on 10 January 2024. The pair being offered is EMAID/#USDT. With the sad news of #Bittrex closing its doors last year and ending trading of Omni #MAID, this is great news for the future of...
safenetwork, Strap in! Testnet time is here again.
This time we’re trying twice as many nodes per VM.
This may well change things/cause some issues, but it will be good to find out exactly what’s possible here.
Many other tweaks and improvements are in place too.
Fire up your consoles and join us 😎

Welcome to the last update of the year. We’re happy to be finishing on a high, with the CloserNet testnet and the community helping us check our fix for what we hope will prove to be the last major bug in basic data handling. We were making an assumption that nodes were being ordered by closeness to our node, whereas this was...
