Thought I'd try to find out how my little laptop in the English Countryside sees the network of NXT Nodes

After a bit of tinkering I got this...

Shows total number of nodes registered to IPs in a particular country and where the IP has a registered geographical location.

https://mapsengine.google.com/map/viewer?mid=zDbwNrja6dlY.kwTCMrAWqtAQ

Quite a geographical spread - but my no means complete I'm sure as I'll only see some of the nodes, probably need files from a few other nodes to get the complete picture unless every node has a complete list - anyone??

Shame I can't query nodes for information otherwise it could be a really interesting picture :/

Cool, tyvm will see what I can do with that..

Is it possible to get a list of active peers and other stats from the client via http://localhost:7874/nxt?

Interested to see if I can script something to check on the client externally, e.g. restart if certain conditions are met

thanks,

Ian

Lol check back through the posts,,, I think yurlygeorge was on here trolling about NXT yesterday and the day before I think and people offered to send him NXT then too - nice strategy to get some...

Its not illegal to hold the address but if you used it then you infringe their trademark...
So if you don't sell it its useless because if you used it they could come after you.

Cool, I'm going to try the virtual machine route as I have a intel server sat here doing nothing..

Can anyone tell me what roughly network bandwidth a single NXT client uses up?

Then I can multiply it by how many copies I can finally get running and set up the allocation on my firewall properly, will save me time figuring it out

Wont be able to hallmark as I can't get a static IP but hopefully they will help.

Yes please explain...
If I have 50k NXT and I put them in one account then my chances of forging a block are 0.005%, if I split this across 10 accounts logged in with 10 Pi then I have 10 x 0.0005% chances of forging a block - is that right?

Isn't that the same chance?
So why would I spend the money on more H/W - why wouldn't I buy more NXT?

There is a lot of talk about people buying and setting up PIs on here so could someone please explain?

Thanks

I can set up multiple copies of nxt on virtual servers but I only have one IP onto the internet through my firewall, so each copy won't get a unique ip onto the public internet.

so will these multiple copies make a contribution to the network through my firewall like my current single running copy of nxt hopefully does? - if they will I'm happy to set them up

Second do they need to be connected to an account and if they do can they all be connected with the same account i.e. passphrase?

Let me know and I can probably add a number of copies of nxt if this will work.

cheers.

I hope you don't mind - I put it on google for those who cant get it from mega

I think I solved this myself.

Needed to send the command walletpassphrase <passphrase> <timeout> to the encrypted wallet using JSON

eMark does not provide a daemon to do this so I used Peeroin ppcoind to send the command like this;

<ppcoin install directory>\daemon\ppcoind -conf <emark data directory>\emark.conf wallet passphrase  <walletpassword> <timeout>

which on my PC turns into;

c:\Program Files\PPCoin\daemon\ppcoind -conf %appdata%\emark\emark.conf walletpassphrase <walletpassword> <timeout>

specify your own wallet password and timeout here of course 

then if you are not sure you can get the wallet status

c:\Programe Files\PPCoin\daemon\ppcoind -conf -conf=%appdata%\emark\emark.conf getinfo

it should show something like

{
    "version" : "v1.0.0.0-oro",
    "protocolversion" : 60006,
    "walletversion" : 60000,
    "balance" : 2001.37628500,      <--- shows your balance here 
    "newmint" : 0.00000000,
    "stake" : 0.00000000,
    "blocks" : 52591,
    "moneysupply" : 2629550.00000000,
    "connections" : 7,
    "proxy" : "",
    "ip" : "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx",            <--- I blanked this in case it was my ip
    "difficulty" : 1387123.16066229,
    "testnet" : false,
    "keypoololdest" : 1387411402,
    "keypoolsize" : 101,
    "paytxfee" : 0.00000000,
    "unlocked_until" : 1388837697,  <--- depends on your timeout value
    "errors" : ""                               <--- if its not worked this contains the error test "Minting halted due to locked wallet"
}

Finally if its worked the wallet screen for an encrypted eMark wallet looks like this

Hi I've encrypted my DEM wallet and the client states 'minting halted due to locked wallet'

Can someone tell me how can I send the client/miniting process the walletpassphrase like is possible with peercoin so that minting will continue?

thanks.

Hi I've encrypted my eMark wallet now its stopped minting as I expected because it doesn't have the wallet pass phrase.

I'm trying now to start the wallet and give it the passphrase so minting can continue.

I've look at the source on github and it seems that "walletpassphrase" is supported, well the code to parse it is in there!

I can't figure out how the get it recognised on the command line, my understanding is it should be;

eMark-qt -server walletpassphrase <password>

but it seems to make no difference. 

I've set up emark.conf as required, -server allows eMark to accept command line arguments according to the source and walletpassphrase seems to be listed as a command..

Please can someone tell me if minting of an encrypted wallet is supported currently and how to get the wallet password accepted?

Thanks,
Ian
