21  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Announcing Jelurida! on: October 07, 2016, 12:01:11 PM
Announcing Jelurida!

The Nxt development team, creators of the advanced and feature-rich blockchain Nxt, and designers of the upcoming and ground-breaking Ardor platform, are excited to announce the incorporation of Jelurida BV, a new start-up headquartered in the Netherlands.

Jelurida BV has been incorporated to protect the Intellectual Property rights of the Nxt Core Development team with respect to the Nxt, and, soon, Ardor, code.

Jelurida BV, as holder of the intellectual property rights for the Nxt software and the Ardor platform, aims to create a sustainable and thriving business around the Nxt ecosystem by providing software licenses, maintenance, and services to a new breed of blockchain-based applications. By establishing Jelurida BV, we simplify this process by allowing the company to act on behalf of the core developers.
 
The incorporation of Jelurida BV addresses a growing need of the blockchain industry to provide solutions for use in corporate environments and is targeted at creating a sustainable business model which will benefit the Nxt community in various ways such as a brand identification as well as a further statement to the integrity of the code. This will further encourage projects to consider using the Nxt and Ardor blockchains for their needs and thus increase their overall usage.

Jelurida will continue to release the Nxt software under the open source GPLv2 license, making it available for free use and modifications as long as any derived software is published under this same open source license.

Press contact: Bas Wisselink (info@jelurida.com)

@martismartis. It is not really the same. Why would I have to go thru NXT and multigateway when there are already reputable tumblers out there? Also the volume and amount of coins the tumbling service will really matter so that the mixing of the coins will become more effective. I believe the coin shuffling service is not really used by the bitcoin users so there is reason to believe that the volume there is low.

I believe you are replying under the mistaken assumption that this is aimed at Bitcoin users.
It's a feature of Nxt and this *can* be used by people who also use Bitcoin.
However, it's primary function is for Nxt.

Your assumption would be analogous to saying that the new lock on my car is cool, but useless because it doesn't fit on *your* car without modification.

That comment would be of course true, but would also not make sense.

Nxt CoinShuffling is a working version of the protocol and the first implementation of the decentralised CoinShuffling protocol. Whether or not it is useful for Bitcoin is a moot point.
The opinion that it *should* be useful for Bitcoin is not something to lay at the feet of the Nxt developers. It makes no sense for them to develop a tool in their own platform with the express reason of servicing another platform. While that may bring volume, it can not be the prime reason for any implementation. Nxt and Ardor build for Nxt and Ardor, not for Bitcoin.

Your laughter is unfounded and means little to the facts that I have presented. Why focus on the FAIRLY MINED part of doge and LTC are you saying BTC was more FAIRLY mined than those?

This simply is not a fair way to initially distribute new tokens. It is simply a case of giving the already rich more than everyone else.

There has to be a fairer solution.

If the byteball team go ahead as planned they will find their coin will come under a lot of criticism once people see it for what it really is. I am simply trying to help them see this. I have enough BTC that I will benefit fine from their current plan but it is simply not fair and will be critically reviewed by real ALT fans that keep the majority of their crypto wealth in ALTS.

I suspect many ALT coin fans will not approve of BTC whale further enrichment. There is a reason clams chose the 3 largest POW coins because many many more people were given clams than if just BTC owners got some. I would estimate 70% of this board don't even have 5 BTC whilst other here (small small minority ) have 1000's if not 10's of thosands of BTC.

If you conduct a poll on the main ALT board I am certain you will find many will share this view.

This is an ALT coin. How about giving those in the ALT coin community a fair(er) chance to get involved.

The top 5-10 wallets of each coin can be ignored since they are exchanges and super whales that need no further enrichment. Else exchanges are required to distribute to the coin holders.

Your criticism is that this leaves out a lot of other cryptos leading to less distribution.
You also base this on leaving the project open to "unfairness".

However, this holds no water: like it or not, at this moment, BTC is still the de facto coin of choice for payments and exchanges, and it's easy for anyone to move there from any platform.

Arbitrarily choosing (which it would be, however you want to slice it) several other platforms to be included by default most definitely would lead to cries of unfairness, if not a barrage of "Add coin X" messages in the issuers Inbox Smiley. He'd furthermore would have to deal with oodles of fanboys of any of the platforms that were left out of the default scenario. As we all know, that amount of FUD would also damage the project from the get go.

BTC is available to all who wish to participate and can be considered "neutral" on the Fairometer(TM). It may not be perfect, but at least it's widely available and open to anyone to acquire.

On a side-note, I've always found the obsession with fairness in crypto rather weird. Surely it's security that should be paramount? What is fair about people acquiring a coin (even if the distribution is "fair") and then to be conned into dumping them via a coordinated FUD machine? It happens a lot, you know, even to projects that tried their utmost to do the distribution right.

Fairness is extremely subjective in any case, and frequently can be paraphrased with  "I didn't take the chance where I had it and now I want to bully you into changing the rules in my favour!"

Will ardor be on exchanges or only the nxt assest exchange after oct 12th?

Exchanges have not confirmed this, yet.
EvilDave is in contact with them and when we have news about this we will of course tell everyone Smiley

https://bitbucket.org/JeanLucPicard/nxt/downloads/nxt-installer-1.10.0e.dmg

The exe, dmg, and sh packages must have a digital signature by "Stichting NXT".


Change log:

This is an experimental release introducing the new light client and roaming
client features.

The roaming client feature, enabled by default, makes the client immediately
usable by forwarding API requests that need the full blockchain to a randomly
chosen peer (remote node), selected to provide the openAPI service. As all html
and javascript files are still served locally and not from the remote host,
this is considerably safer than just using a remote node. Outgoing transactions
are also signed locally, never sending the secret phrase to the remote peer.

This roaming client (API Proxy) mode is used automatically while the blockchain
is still downloading, with a switch to full client mode once the download is
complete.
It can be disabled by setting nxt.enableAPIProxy=false in nxt.properties.
For openAPI nodes, the API proxy remains disabled, ignoring this setting. For
light clients, the API proxy is always enabled.

The light client feature, disabled by default, makes the node run in roaming
mode permanently, without downloading the blockchain at all. It can be enabled
by setting nxt.isLightClient=true.
Light clients are not advertised as providing openAPI service even if they do
have their API publicly accessible.

The remote node to use when in roaming and light client modes is selected
randomly, but can be changed manually in the UI, or using the new
setAPIProxyPeer API, or forced to a specific peer using the
nxt.forceAPIProxyServerURL property.

Remote nodes can be blacklisted from the UI, or using the blacklistAPIProxyPeer
API. This blacklisting is independent from peer blacklisting. The API proxy
blacklisting period can be set using the nxt.apiProxyBlacklistingPeriod
property (default 1800000 milliseconds).

API requests that require sending the secret phrase, shared key, or admin
password to the server, for features like forging, shuffling, or running a
funding monitor, are disabled when in roaming or light client mode.

While a remote node cannot steal your secret phrase, and data returned by such
nodes is escaped to prevent javascript injection attacks, users must be aware
that the validity of such data cannot be verified. For example, a rogue remote
node can still return fake asset exchange recent trades or open orders prices,
or modified voting system poll options and descriptions.

To force using a remote node for testing APIs, the /test-proxy URL can be used
instead of /test for the API test page, i.e. http://localhost:7876/test-proxy.

A new sendTransaction API has been added, similar to broadcastTransaction but
without validating the transaction, without re-broadcasting the transaction and
without adding it locally as unconfirmed transaction. This API is mostly useful
for light or roaming clients that cannot validate or accept locally unconfirmed
transactions, but must nevertheless be able to send such to peers.

A new getNextBlockGenerators API has been added, returning the next block
generators ordered by hit time. The list of currently active forgers is first
initialized using the block generators with at least 2 blocks generated within
the previous 10,000 blocks, excluding accounts without a public key. The list
is updated as new blocks are processed. The results are not 100% correct since
previously active generators may no longer be running and new generators won't
be known until they generate a block.

Added a peer info modal. Minor other UI improvements and bugfixes.

34  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][ARDR][NO ICO] Ardor, or Nxt 2.0, a Scalable Child Chain Platform on: July 23, 2016, 06:26:59 PM
The reasons for Ardor are in this document by Jean-Luc: https://nxt.org/nxt-2-0-overview/

The main reasons are scalability and versatility for blockchain creators and business development.

This can not be done with the current Nxt architecture (although you are right it can do a lot!).

In Nxt 1.0 you need to pay fees with Nxt, even when building a service that doesn't need to be involved with Nxt at all.

For instance, users of NAUT need to pay fees in NXT. That is confusing and what's more: unnecessary.

In Ardor, this will no longer be needed and an effect of our solution is that we can keep the size of child chains very small compared to older blockchain types.

Barabbas' questions:

- A child chain is a blockchain that is part of the Ardor platform. They are the blockchains that record transactions, and submit them to the main Ardor chain for confirmation.

- Payment is two-fold. Users of a child chain pay to child chain transaction bundlers (in the child chain token). These bundlers pay to the main Ardor chain stakers (in Ardor).

Quote
Fee on child chains will be denominated in the chains native tokens, but the forging chain block forgers will still accept fees in the forging token (ARDR) only. To convert fees collected in native tokens to Ardor, the role of “bundlers”, or ChildChainBlock creators, will be introduced. Any account can serve as a creator of a childchain block, provided it is willing to accept the fees (in native token) collected from the transactions in the childchain block, and in exchange pay the required fee (in ARDR) to the forging chain block forger. This will establish a market rate for child chain token to ARDR token. If the fee in native token offered by a transaction sender is too low by current market rate, when converted to ARDR, no-one will be willing to bundle such transaction into a ChildChainBlock, and the sender must resubmit the transaction with a higher fee. If a child chain token loses value completely and no-one is willing to exchange it to ARDR, transaction processing on that child chain will naturally stop – unless someone interested in keeping it alive is willing to subsidize it, creating ChildChainBlocks and paying the expected ARDR fees to the forgers, while getting worthless (by free market rate) native tokens in return.

- Some features, like a real open BaaS platform are new. Other features are not, as Nxt pioneered most of them and will continue them in this new platform. As to "Smart Contracts", Nxt refused them years ago on the grounds of introducing levels of complexity that are considered not in balance with their usefulness. Nxt and Ardor instead opt for transactions that handle most common usable functions, which are tested and secure and can be combined safely into more complexity.

Amateur hour...
 

My browser & desktop wallets work fine - although I'm running NRS 1.8.3....

Update to 1.9.2 at https://nxtforum.org/nrs-releases/nrs-v1-9-2/

 Still not working. Amazing, simply amazing.

Here's an update from the site operator of wallet.mynxt.info:

A little update.

Last night the hoster of the wallet server performed extensive checks in the hard drives and early today they reported that no errors had be found, so we tried to bring up the server again. It worked for a bit but then started again to fail with the same I/O errors, so the MyNxt wallet needs to stay in maintenance for a bit longer. The hoster will do now a full hardware check in the server to isolate once and for all what the issue is, we'll report as soon as it has been fixed.

Again apologies for the down time, hardware issues are a pain specially since there's hardly anything we can do remotely.

I know it's a pain in the ass but please keep in mind that this is a free service run by volunteers, not a multi-million dollar business. At least the wallets and their balances are kept safe as they do regular backups. They are actively looking into other hosting options right now to avoid such outages in the future.

Then, perhaps, since the service is offered in the website, someone should contract a reliable one instead of leaving it to amateurs. I mean, this gives an extremely poor technological look to the whole project, don't you think? We are talking something very, very, VERY basic here that every other coin, much below the standards of NXT, has been successfully offering for months if not years already.

You will recall that mynxt has been operating normally for two years.
This time, something went wrong server-side and the team has been working hard to get it fixed.
However, if the party that provides the actual hosting is not cooperating, things become more complicated.
The Mynxt team is working as quickly as possible to get the server accessible again, for you and all other customers.

Call it amateurish if you like, that's your judgement. I call it professional to communicate to everyone that things are not as they should be and work as hard as possible knowing people are always ready to point out the days things are wrong when you have been reliable for years.

You guys really need to rethink the name of the chain.

"Child Chains"

like really... All the names and this one was the best you could come up with.   Roll Eyes

Side chains were so commonly used Wink, so childs of ardor is a better one Tongue

Child Chains explain the relation correctly.

They are not "Side Chains" in that they cannot exist independently of the Ardor Platform.
They are linked to the Main or Mother Chain (or Father, if you prefer), and cannot operate without it.

Feel free to come up with another name. If it's good, it tends to stick. But the relation should be clear.  Smiley

It was said Bittrex and Poloniex will distribute Ardor to exchange NXT holders. How is that possible? Will they also take snapshots of exchange accounts every hour?

i seems safer to just withdraw and do it on your own computer. i dont see how the exchanges are going to split the ardr tokens as its given out by averaging how much you have over X amount of days. this means the exchanges would have to write up their own script just to calculate this for you, i doubt they would do that.

This is exactly what these exchanges did and do.
Some exchanges are happy to go the extra mile for their users and with our help they are calculating this.  Smiley

Still: the most exact way is always from your own personal wallet.

Holding is enough? or we need to open our wallet for 90 days, 24/7?

Holding is enough.
The Ardor distribution is not linked in any way to forging.

So Ardor is nxt 2.0, nxt will be the history right? Or they 2 will be both existing? Am i late if i didn't join snap before? thx

Nxt will continue, alongside Ardor.

No, you are not late. Even during the snapshot you can still enter, although due to the averaging, you will receive progressively less ARDR. Smiley
