I am in. Frictionless, give me my coins. I have only 100 NXT. Can I have 1 million NEX ? Thanks

If only 1,000 people express interest, then you will get 1 million NEX.

I'm in too, and I'm going to make 100 sock puppets.

edit: if in a week NEX looks good I'll make 1,000,000 sock puppets - bitcointalk.org account mining. less electricity than bitcoin mining

I call "NOT FAIR!!"  Cry

I actually expect him to see this through Smiley

Just wish he didn't make malafide use of work done by people who never did him harm.

Making a point is valid. Stealing intellectual property to make that point (the videos and articles, not the source code) is something else.
1443  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] NEX :: descendant of NXT on: January 19, 2014, 01:30:07 AM
I like the fact that he blatantly uses videos people made in their own time and free of charge to make his point.

This guy has class. He's willing to use bonafide work of people to prove Nxt is malafide.

The end justifies the means, apparently.

Thanks.
Is it ok to stay on 0.4.7? see people with issues after upgrade..

No, you should definitely upgrade.
The old client does not have advanced features installed and is also less stable.

Quote from: bitcoinpaul
I understand Marcus03 and his third-party-problems with. But right now, in the beginning of NXT where everyone is nervous and after the client exploit in december, using a non-open-source client is kinda weird.

Please let's recap for me: Which clients are open source and which aren't?

We need simple and open source clients for Win and Mac. Am I wrong?

Might be, but I feel people were kind of harsh towards Marcus03. He has been open about the closed source nature of his client from the very beginning.
Some appreciation for his good work needs to be extended, at the very least.

For myself I'm not that worried, but I can understand that people want to be as open about everything as possible.

Marcus03 has asked for suggestions to prove his client is AOK. Aren't there ways to prove his software is trustworthy that can be verified by all or a trusted source?

ok, so I have the web client running. is there anything else that I need to do to "forge" nxt?  Sorry if this has been answered. 1000+ pages is a lot to wade through.

You need some Nxt, and no high expectations of getting a block if you don't have a big amount.

Forging is nothing like mining. You won't get rich by forging Smiley

Well, if you invest the price of a decent bitcoin mining rig into nextcoins and a raspberry pi to forge with, things look a lot different.

And as a nice side effect, that mining rig has only minimal power consumption and will not stop earning because someone just made a better ASIC.

True, but I had the assumption he didn't have Nxt yet.
If you have a substantial wallet, the returns could be nice, especially if fees go up as they did today.

How much is a substantial wallet? ball park?
I have a sizeable quantity ( but maybe its relatively small) which i leave on an exchange. Would I be better moving them to the client and leave it running? Is that forging?

You only forge with Nxt that is in your account.
One of the bases of calculation for your chances for forging a block is the amount of your Nxt in the account divided by the total Nxt "in play" on the network.
Nxt on an exchange does not benefit you for forging, only Nxt in your open account.

Edit: I believe the amount for forging one block a day lies in the region of 200,000 Nxt, but I may be off with that.

Can I just thank the owners of 9596636314676722420 and 11398199344229200622 massively for their donations?

Very unexpected and very much appreciated. The support level amongst Nxters is amazing Cheesy

NOT GOOD

I am not sure, but this looks like our hacker:
http://87.230.14.1/nxt/nxt.cgi?action=3000&acc=10715382765594435905

Well, on 17-01 he withdrew from DGEX, so he should be able to be tracked down.

It is gaining momentum, the amount of accounts keep going up so lots more people are getting involved in NXT.
http://87.230.14.1/nxt/nxt.cgi?action=40&sub=6
If that isn't a bullish indicator I don't know what is. We'll probably start seeing more of a rise in price with media coverage, but we really need better clients out first.

actually this is a Saturday number... Weekends are richer

I'd say the biggest gain of the last week is the fact that Nxt is losing its "scam" image somewhat.

I've seen less and less of that accusation. We also have so much more info to give out, which helps enormously.

I think the other people who got hacked also said they used keypass.
What do we know about this keypass?

James

http://keepass.info/help/base/pwgenerator.html

That's the one.



Web based password generator??
Is the password sent in plain text at any point? It could be packet sniffers or somebody that knows the keypass algorithm (hacker or insider)

We need a verified random password generator for Windows that can be run locally

KeePass is a locally run application. Not web based.

Come on, guys. KeePass is safe. I'm using it since years! Don't spread rumors about it.

I'm not spreading rumours, I am answering a question.
I use KeePass, too Smiley

@punkrock

Oh look, an actual original stakeholder seen in the wild

and busy forging away like a good 'un.

I just got the image of a blacksmith that becomes progressively more lazy the poorer his patron is Smiley
1455  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Nxt marketing & promotion - progress tracking thread on: January 18, 2014, 09:57:28 PM
I get plenty of emails asking me if Nxt is a scam so I made this video to address the issue:

http://prisonorfreedom.com/is-nextcoin-nxt-a-scam/

I hope it addresses some of the concerns that folks have about Nxt.

Published this on my Dutch Nxt blog. Thanks for doing this, it's very clear in it's explanation.
1456  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Nxt :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information on: January 18, 2014, 09:50:17 PM
I would much prefer a grassroots kind of marketing.
If Nxt gets tied to a "movement" it will *certainly* backfire.

Let them find out from the fact that individuals are adopting it en masse.  Smiley

This! +1e10

I can somehow see why right libertarians are ready to hump anything crypto, but we shouldn't help them along actively.

To me, it doesn't matter who humps what (may want to rephrase that...), but any kind of "official" connection will most probably backfire.
I have my political ideas too, but I want to keep them out of business.
1457  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Nxt :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information on: January 18, 2014, 09:38:46 PM

We *absolutely* have to have speakers and stands at this event. Preferrably with business cards, brochures and NXT clothing.
I think a stand cost like 2000 euros to have ?


I am willing to help, as i am in the neighborhood!! Any other persons interested?

That's far enough in the future for me to arrange days off work. Smiley
I can be there.

Paralysed by the thought of having to read 1018 pages?

Generally scared of life now?

Fear not! Get your summary here!

 Smiley

I bet most of newbies won't see this message Smiley

I decided to be smart and put it in MY sig.
New summary is done, and I already am three pages behind again  Grin

Awesome now i can sell the ones I have!

Precisely.  Now they can't buy the coin with fake BTC. 

Expect a crash in the next couple of days.

What goes up, must come down Smiley
