I read talk of 4.9e but it isn't posted on the first page of this thread. Is it available?

To be honest, if the quality of software and all the ecosystem does not improve significantly, people will go away very soon. Now I guess most people here are attracted by the insanely fast growing price. Once it is stabilized, we will see more and more complains about the user experience.
For example, could you imagine an organization having millions of dollars does not have a reliable downloading service for frequent software upgrading? Is it so expensive to get a reliable VPS and setup a downloading server, or simply as a temporary solution just pay dropbox to get an official account with larger bandwidth? I'm an Nxt believer but this is very true. |

So basically we have 4 different people saying they got it from 3 different places.
1 person on a wget using the IP address
1 person from mega.co
1 person from nxtcrypto.org
1 person from nextcoin.org Since I got the bad client from an IP address via wget, the question is where did I get that link. mega.co isn't a possibility, correct? The only history my browser shows for nextcoin.org since I installed 0.4.8 is: https://nextcoin.org/index.phphttps://nextcoin.org/index.php/topic,797.0.htmlhttps://nextcoin.org/index.php/board,46.0.htmlhttps://nextcoin.org/index.php/topic,1588.0.htmlThose don't look like pages I could have copied the link from. That leaves nxtcrypto.org and I also think bitcointalk.org is a possibility. Since firefox brings visited pages to the top of the history list when they are re-visted (and I didn't realize this before) it may be impossible to say which one is the culprit at this point. HOWEVER, the first time I looked at the history list before things got rearranged, I thought it was nxtcrypto.org for sure. Since then the history has been altered so I can't double-check this but that was my first impression. Looking at the history, it is certainly also possible that I got the link from bitcointalk.org within the 0.4.8 discussion. IMPORTANT: I'm going to bed and there will be too many posts to catch up on by the time I wake up. Please PM me if there is something I should read. You can link me to posts if you like. |

Are you sure? that page has a post about you upgrading your VPSs to 0.4.8, so I would think it happened before that My post on that page was at 4:07PM and the first post on that page was at 3:19PM which is much more than enough time to upgrade. I wish we could see the edit history of those posts. But I can't be sure at all. Firefox is making this really difficult. I realized halfway through my investigation that it removes pages from your history once you access them again and it puts them back at the top of the list. How stupid. It also could have been nxtcrypto.org since I accessed it during my investigation because that means it wouldn't appear in its proper place in my history any more. It looks like it also could have been one page back on this forum from the post of mine I linked to above: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=345619.11900 |

I think I downloaded the bad client zip from here: http://www.nxtcrypto.org/I can't be sure yet and I still don't understand some of my timestamps, but I see in my browser logs that I accessed that page at around the time I updated to 0.4.8 and I'm pretty sure I remember using the link on that page. EDIT: I think I even remember laughing about how silly it was that that page pointed to an IP address for the download. Not that I don't think you could have DL'ed yours there. I'm pretty much positive (I don't have the browser proof since i've cleared my history probably 10x since then!)
mine was DL'd from nextcoin.org, via the Mega link that was there at the time I DL'd it.
The only reason I mention it is I DL'd that client.zip from nxtcrypto.org as well, and never touched it. I take it back. With a little help from the timestamp on my post here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=345619.msg4240566#msg4240566I figure I downloaded it from a link on this page: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=345619.11920What an idiot I am for doing that. To reiterate, I DO NOT think I downloaded the bad client zip from nxtcrypto.org. |

I'm confused. The timestamp on my bad client zip is Dec 31 11:43. That VPS runs on UTC time and I can see that its time is correct. Converting that to my local time, that would put me on the computer really early in the morning which my browser logs tell me I was not. I just checked with my wife to confirm and she says I was not up that early yesterday. I'm still thinking this over.

can you get a timestamp from the file or some autid log that you can correlate in your web browser? I'm actually working on that right now. |

I ended up with the bad client on 3 out of 3 VPS nodes. FOR SURE I downloaded the bad client like this: wget http://162.243.246.223/nxt-client-0.4.8.zipIt's as plain as day in my bash history. The weird part is I had about 2000 Nxt in the 3 accounts and none of it was transferred out. I just transfered it out myself and I'm shutting down the nodes. Where was it posted ? Why did you go to a private ip address to download the client ? I don't know how I could find out where it was posted. I'm sure I copied and pasted it from a page in the browser to wget in the console. EDIT: I have a lot of experience with IT security so it would have been made to look legit. |

Can anyone confirm that the size of the good client is 7173063 and the bad client is 7177834?

Do any online shops have their own in-house cryptocurrency? It seems like that might be kind of cool.

Are there any computer hardware stores online that accept BTC?

Buy now and be prepared to hold fast. The price may very well dip immediately a little lower than your purchase price. Do not fall into the trap of panic selling at that point. Sell BTC? Now that's funny.  |
