Is there any plan to simplify the wallet of NXT?
I mean the brain wallet need a very very long  passphrase which keep people away.

A randomly generated 15 char password will be plenty secure. I think someone put up a challenge to crack a 12 character NXT password somewhere with a big NXT reward. It hasn't been claimed yet afaik.


Bolded for emphasis.

Random is the key.

Yes, currencies will eventually be able to be used to trade assets, but not at the launch of Monetary System.

You just defined almost all of the altcoin section in general.
228  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: NXT is dying :-( on: January 08, 2015, 09:48:23 PM
Nxt is currently  at 8th position in coinmarketcap and its a matter of time for counterparty and dogecoin to move it further down the list.  24 trading volume is almost non existent and you can probably move the market with 100$
Nxt was initially distributed to no more than 70 people and that's a reason almost no one is touching it!
Add to that the fact that there have been some very serious scam accusations (https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/bitcoin-core-developer-jeff-garzik-believes-nxt-is-a-scamcoin/) and you can see the whole picture!

These are some of the issues...
   * It is marketed like a scammy penny stock.
   * Anon early super large stakeholders + Proof-Of-Stake == the big guys run the table, if they choose. https://download.wpsoftware.net/bitcoin/pos.pdf  The central bankers are in place from Day One unless they are super-virtuous and give tons away “fairly.”
   * Anonymous developers
   * Closed developing process.  Source is periodically handed down from the ivory tower to the masses.
   * Certain notable personages (& key stakeholders) that dodge, dodge, dodge, when an obvious attack vector — mitigated in other crypto-finance projects by known techniques — is highlighted.
   * Active resistance to making it easier to independently reproduce the software
   * Technical criticism is routinely met with bizarre behavior (notably from come-from-beyond)
   * Attacking critics, rather than responding to criticism.
   * Several security incidents that smell like inside jobs.

What needs to be done for the comeback of nxt?
Can ntx recover or the game is over like so many other scamcoins out there?
I know nxt has some great fuders and trolls out there but is this helping or harming nxt?


Oh my, someone has found a very old Garzick tweet series.

I highlighted some of your points.
Have a look here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMSA5W7jx1E&feature=youtu.be

It's an open Q&A with one of our core devs. Anonymous?

You may also like to know that this same person hás done some real work on your so called attack vector
a) to actually define it, because somehow that was never formally done. Rather important, that and,
b) to investigate if this vector was actually possible by running numerous simulations (which you can also run and check yourself)

Find the papers here, if you please:
http://chepurnoy.org/
https://github.com/ConsensusResearch/articles-papers

Open source code repository to be found here: https://bitbucket.org/JeanLucPicard/nxt/overview

Attacking critics? Nope. Take a look at the vid again: we're having fún when people ask questions, because that's part of being challenged and when finding solutions.
Attacking people mouthpiecing things they have no clue about and not the wits to hide the fact? Sure, why not?

Good luck at FUD school. You will not graduate this year!

I tried my best to answer this, though it seems that some of the categories are arbitrary. Maybe someone else can comment if they disagree with me.

Yes, please add things or put question marks where needed Smiley

Thanks for filling it out!

quoting simply because this is ridiculous behaviour(especially coming from someone highly involved in nxt marketing iirc) and i want to set it in stone.

Cross posting this from Nxt forum, because I feel there is some miscommunication here Sad

https://nxtforum.org/general-discussion/this-is-who-you-picked-to-do-marketing-for-nxt/msg147255/#msg147255

I think salsa posted this so we can work on this: https://nxtforum.org/general-discussion/help-design-a-comparative-matrix-for-presentation-and-nxt-wiki/msg147223/#new

As I read it, it's just a question of filling it in so we have accurate info on that matrix, nothing more.

The post comes in the middle of some less fun discussion on your thread which indeed is about just a poll.

Polls on BCT are fun, but their information value is next to useless, I agree with that.

Anyway, as the person who asked to make this matrix, I apologise if you guys feel slighted by it. Sad

That is certainly nót the intention and I hope you know me well enough to know this.

Oh, and you work with Bitstamp and know for sure this is Bitstamp's address? Please don't spread disinformation.

Did I say that it's Bitstamp's address?

I said it's still in that wallet and hasn't been dumped.

Take your own medicine and don't read what isn't there.
233  Economy / Speculation / Re: bitstamp 18,000 bitcoins stolen? on: January 05, 2015, 03:19:11 PM
And this is why bitcoin is dropping. Totally insecure. Can't use it, only store it. Else its susceptible to hackers

So merchants cashing out, speculators, miners cashing out, normal market influence etc, have nothing to do with it.

Phew, luckily the world is extremely simple instead of complex!

234  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Interesting comments on BitStamps possible compromise from July 2014 on: January 05, 2015, 03:08:54 PM
so we know why the btc price is crashing.. 18k btc dumped are quite a lot

Except they are still in the wallet: https://blockchain.info/address/1L2JsXHPMYuAa9ugvHGLwkdstCPUDemNCf

The implied "but" did it  Grin

Happy new year to all of you! Smiley

Have a good one!
239  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [NXT] Nxt - Official Thread on: December 31, 2014, 02:41:31 PM

Good idea on OP. Will do that later.

As to the passphrase: this is integral to what a brainwallet ís. In all actuality the passphrase isn't a "pass" to "unlock" and account at all. In a brainwallet system áll accounts already exist, and the passphrase ís the account. So it's not possible for the system to see if your pass is incorrect, because it's just showing you that actual pass.

Ideas welcome, though, as we are aware this is confusing for people who are used to "unlock this file by this pass" ways of doing things.
If you like something a bit more "traditional" you can use the MOFO wallet, which does use a wallet.dat system: http://www.mofowallet.com/

If you stumble upon a good other way to do this, apart from labelling it full of warnings, let us know. Smiley

That's exactly what I thought was going on.  I don't have a problem with the brain wallet, but if I end up teaching my students about NXT and/or doing a giveaway to my newsletter, I might use the QT style client.

A couple of ideas to make the official client easier for new people:

  • On the sign-in screen add a 2-sentence message above the passphrase field reminding people they need to type it in exactly, including punctuation and capitalization and that if they enter it incorrectly they may see a zero balance but can just sign back out and try again
  • Once they're signed in, if possible, you could have the client do a check for whether the wallet had been "activated" (or whatever the term is) and if not prompt them with a message saying their account needs a one-time activation and then offer a button to open the form you linked me to right inside the client - perhaps w autofill of the account ID and the public key?
  • I swear I had a third suggestion, but I don't remember now  Smiley

Hope that helps.  

Thanks for the tips, worth Smiley
I believe #2 is already in the mofo-wallet, and I will forward these recommendations to our standard client dev.

I just had a look at your website. If you have any questions at some point if you are doing a tutorial, feel free to contact me.   Smiley

Quote from: Jean-Luc
The few reports of crashes on upgrade from 1.3.5 have been caused by insufficient memory. The run.sh and run.bat scripts do not specify -Xmx parameter, need to edit them and add -Xmx1024M or more. This is not a new change, but apparently recent releases have had low enough memory requirements that even running with the default heap was not a problem. It is only the upgrade from 1.3 to 1.4 that requires extra memory, after that or when downloading from scratch, should still be able to run with 512MB heap only.
