You can feed the data into the memory mapped file,  but can you pull it out?

Duh!!! Triple face palm!

Still not convinced you have a handle on your memory problem just because you are using Java nio.   Did you happen to have coded a memory caching algorithm so that your java code knows when to take and replace what's in your memory mapped file?  I doubt it,  that would be akin to writing your own object oriented database.

You can just use one NXT and bounce it around the network!

In fact, since everything is all HTTP based.  Someone can write a script.

Create 1000 accounts
Loop 10,000 times
    Loop through each account
        Send 1 IXC to each account

That's why bitcoind uses leveldb.  It would be joke to keep the entire block chain in memory.

So you are saying this NXT keeps the entire block chain in memory?  

Pathetic.

I mean, they likely haven't done any analysis of what kind of database to use as a backend.   There is no way that they'll be able to fix this problem in time for folks to realize that they can spam the network and blow up every JVM that sits on this network!

Well... clock is ticking....  waiting on the dbms implementation....

Also,  realize that they use Java serialization to store the transactions in file....  

So when these JVMs go 'out of memory error'... they can't save the transactions file.... and even if they do... that'll blow up!

HILARIOUS!

DO I GET THE PRIZE FOR SEEING THE FATAL FLAW!

Your input will be welcome.

Well any suggestions on a name?

Right now, it isn't even a coin yet.  

First there's a specification that needs to be put together.

Then there's a brand new implementation.

The idea however is to be able to build a platform for rapid experimentation of new coin features.

These potentially can indeed spawn out new coins.

There is a $20,000 bounty for the mini-block chain implementation, so possibly this could implement that and receive the bounty.

Posted on January 2nd -  Hash rate is now 4,628,212.6373 GHs.

Posted today (January 5th) - Hash rate is now 5,278,932.9856 GHs.

In other words, in 3 days, 1,000 more 1 THs SHA miners have joined the network and are mining iXcoin.

iXcoin is a gold mine and a lot of folks don't realize it yet!

Hash rate is now 5,278,932.9856 GHs.

An increase in 1 Peta Hash per second (i.e. 1,000 THs machines) in 2 days!!

Maybe you don't realize that a coin isn't dead until it runs out of hash rate.

iXcoin is now #3 (sometimes #4) in network hash rate among all coins (BTC included).

Here is the long term price chart for IXC:



Data is from Vircurex, but it starts at 10/2012

Let me see if there is long term data on BTC-E trading for IXC.

Yup,  I realized that the original developer failed to even post this event in Bitcointalk.org

So I did him a favor and posted the news.   Unfortunately, it is 2 years old.

Anyway,  let's hope BTC-E re-list again.

Maybe if enough IXC owners demand access to their coins, then maybe BTC-E might re-open trading.

If we run a petition,  maybe perhaps.   You just never know with BTC-E.

Here's the "news":

https://btc-e.com/news/46

Here is the BTC news that shows iXcoin started trading.

https://btc-e.com/news/46   -   Dec 28, 2011

This just shows you how incompetent the original developer was.

C'mon,  he got listed on BTC-E and he did nothing to develop the coin?

Anyway,  he didn't even bother to post the news here on bitcointalk.org.

So I did him a favor,  I posted the news about BTC-E trading IXC.  Unfortunately,  2 years late!!

If IXC starts getting volume in its exchanges then here is a good possibility that IXC gets re-listed on BTC-E.

It hasn't happened yet, but IXC has the hash rate to support a re-listing.

The other thing... CEX.IO also allows for trading,  right now they trade only NMC/BTC pair.  However, CEX.IO lets you deposit DVC and IXC, so there is a possibility of an exchange opening up there too.

Here's why I ordered from AMT.

I looked at all the 28nm manufacturers at the time.

There was:

KNC
Bitmine
HashFast
Cointerra
BFL

KNC was not selling 28nm and moved to 20nm.  Their product was scheduled 2nd half of 2014 at $12,000 for 3GHs
Bitmine has demos and had a tapeout earlier than both HashFast and Cointerra
HashFast looked legit but I could not find an order date that would ship in Feb.
Cointerra has the best prices and hardware but, they were delayed, and I couldn't order anything that would ship by April.
BFL -  I didn't bother.

So clearly Bitmine was neck and neck with HashFast in their schedule.
Only problem with Bitmine was that they were European and I couldn't figure out how I could buy their stuff from the USA.
Out comes announcement from Bitmine about AMT
The AMT promise ship date was for Feb on 1.2 THs machines that were on par price wise with HashFast.

Right now, it is a race to get those THs systems.  The situation however in Mining is becoming similar to GPU mining.  With GPU mining nobody is releasing new hardware that an order magnitude higher.  They have hit the limit of speed and power consumption.  The same will happen to ASIC in the next 3 months.  None of the ASIC manufacturers will be able to sell 28nm cheaper than what they already sell it for.  At best $3 per GHs is the limit.   

The benefits of 20nm is miniscule.  The KNC neptune system at 3THs requires industrial power requirements.

There are a ton of 200GHs 55nm products sold today, but these will plummet in price in the next couple of weeks.  So, if you want hardware that depreciates at a slower rate, then it is like 28nm because you can't get anything better.

BFL miners for example, who got their system really late were still able to profit because their units did not depreciate.   Many mined and even sold their units at the price they bought it at.  The same situation will likely play with 28nm miners.   

That could be a possibility to have the coin restarted ant trade at BTC-E.   I do wonder though if a lot of investors have their IXC stuck in BTC-E!  Maybe they were to lazy at the time to move it out.  That was a very long time ago January 2012.  BTC had crashed the previous year and likely was at its low.

This is interesting because it does somewhat explain why I don't see any large older holder of the coin.  

Could you do so analysis of the orderbooks of iXcoin on Vircurex and iXcoin?   How many coins are on the sell side for both?   This could give us a glimpse of what they call the "float".  If the "float" is extremely low,  then a pump can easily move the coin.

Actually, looking at Cryptsy https://www.cryptsy.com/markets/view/38 depth chart.  The only big seller is at .0003 which is nearly 100% from where it is now.

Thanks for the ideas.  It'll take time, but we are building on a solid foundation.  

I'm in for the long haul.

Maybe you should come up with a list? 

There's a lot of interesting stuff that we would like to be able to test out.
