I don't care which acc it will be, even DDoS'er acc, even some criminal's. I suggest to completely avoid possibility of that kind of thing happening. Which benefits u're seeing in option to freeze someone's acc? How that connects with decentralization? PoS+TF defend system even against 90%+ of collected coins attacking (bad forging, what else from inside?), why add to this option of freezing anyone's coins?

Wut? I'm talking about compromising system (in eyes of potential and existing users) by creating bad-looking polls with high enough votes. Like, yeah, "freeze that acc, shall we?". In the end that strategy can cost pretty low against price of 90%+ attack. If network'll become strong enough compromising through VS can be even cheaper than DDoS to hundreds of thousands nodes. At least it seems so to me.

Criticise what I'm suggesting, but first understand my position. Ask questions. Don't assume.

I have a large account balance, and the other day I noticed a few separate transactions in my history where unknown users to me had sent 1 NXT amounts to my account. I hadn't noticed them before, as the only difference between a forged NXT and a sent NXT is the small icon next to the transaction number.

I suspect someone was experimenting with trying to identify the location of accounts with large balances on the network. I don't have much experience with these things, but I suspect there could be ways of analysing transaction logs and other data sources to try and determine the IP address, or identity/location of an open account.

My account number is one of the accounts on the block explorer page of top accounts, so I think someone was searching for the location & account status of big accounts.

I have an URGENT feature request.
Currently ALL addresses are valid and sending money to an acct create it. This is all cool and stuff, but one typo and money is gone forever.

Without changing too much of the code, I think if we just brought up a warning that "you are about to send money to an account with zero balance. Are you sure?" or even better would be to display some basic statistics about the account that is being sent to, time acct has been open, number of transactions, etc.

This way before irrevocably sending money to the void, we can at least do a sanity check on the type of account that will be getting the funds.

I do not advise going to a large scale deployment without such a safeguard. I just lost a lot of precious NXT due to late night sleepytime typo

Intel, I could not find the post to which you were referring.  Is there something I need to do to fix my client?  Sorry, I am not the most proficient at this technical stuff.

Is anyone else having trouble with with the client?  I opened my account and see no information loading and there is also no balance. 

Great idea -
please set it up on news.nxtcrypto.org and PM me your IP and I will create an A record for it
(yes everone, I know all bout news protocol, but come on, thats dead)

Or if you'd like  pick a better hostname if you can think of one and ill add an A record for it to .nxtcrypto.org

Looks like a bug. I bet it will be found and fixed after 3rd of Jan.

Does F5 help?

can I get some linux help here?  Im looking at adding more VPSs, I have 5 on digitalocean now, im trying out budgetvm next to spread things around a bit.  Only OSs they have are:

Debian 6
CentOS 6.2
Fedora Core 16
Gentoo 2013
Scientific Linux 6.2
Slackware 13.37
Ubuntu 12.04

none of these support jre1.7 w/o complicated steps.  Which of these is easisest to upgrade to latest ver after a base install?

I am using the latest version 0.4.7e.

Btw, please check your PM.

I observed this. I use some 0.4.5 version from yesterday I think.
