Nxt transaction sigs only care about the account id's (not say something like the "genesis block id") so a "clone" (such a test net) in which account #'s that *match* main net (most likely due to using the same password) means that you can *steal* NXT by just broadcasting a test net tx on main net.

(this issue will also apply to "parallel chains" if and when implemented)

Probably a good reason to not "rush into releasing AE on main net".

So "don't do that".

Nxt is not using explicitly using Tor at all (if you can use it then presumably that would require some configuration change at the least).

Presumably you'd end up with the same account id - not really a problem but if you are not using testnet via "localhost" then I would not recommend doing that.

I think your strategy as an investor is the right one - don't invest more than you are prepared to lose and don't expect to "get rich quick" from that investment.

Hopefully your investment will have turned out to be a good one down the track!

Got it - although I would think that once you've decided on which AnonSilver you *trust* then you'd just get the client to *hide* any others with the same name (as it would be pretty unlikely that you are going to buy and sell more than one Asset of the same name).

Oh - in that case we are just talking about using localStorage or the like (so a client only thing).

Perhaps Wesley might add that in the same sort of way that he has implemented Contacts.

JL has already made the changes so that Asset name is no longer "unique" and I think we should stick with that.

The idea of perhaps making the Description (or another new field) "editable" seems like a reasonable one for consideration.

@Wesley - yes we could limit the characters used to try and help.

@farl4web - the problem is that the scammer will have already "already made off with his NXT" (if they were allowed to trade immediately) and also even if we "disallow trading" for x days then how do you communicate any *issue* through the Nxt platform?

Let's clear that up for you.

In the current Nxt "distopian" future you will have these Assets:

Microsoft (scam)
M1crosoft (scam)
M1cr0soft (scam)
Microsoft_2014 (scam)
Microsoft_2015 (real - assuming they haven't destroyed Nxt out of anger about the 1st listing)

Can you see why unique names are a problem now?

May as well just make it this:

Microsoft 38234124
Microsoft 98289128
Microsoft 12349123
Microsoft 58345345
Microsoft 13912342

only 1 is legit anyway (so *buyer* needs to *do more research* rather than just getting ripped off).

Hotel California is probably about the #1 KTV song (in English) in China.

I have sung it at quite a few bars in front of audiences who all love it.

(although I am a bit tired of hearing it here - just like Psy's big hit a few years back)

Unfortunately @Wesley left out the context.

Please check out testnet now and look for the Asset called CIYAM.

It was not created by me - but I have 50% of the shares (as the imposter *sent* them to me).

This is our problem (not the UI).

Again - NXT is the currency and Nxt is the platform (although my understanding is that you only care about NXT so you think that Nxt == NXT).

Nxt was not my idea so you'd have to as BCNext that (oh - yes - not possible).

Whether launching it the way it was launched was a good idea is another thing that has (and should) be questioned.

In coming to a decision about whether to invest or divest it is important to at least have a "clear understanding" of the "beast". That is all that I am trying to establish here.

Haha - yes I'm not such a fan of "memes" (and I don't hodl any cute little doggies either).

It is a poor comparison - if you want to compare NXT to something then I think XRP is a much closer one.

That I guess is how you have decided to interpret my posts.

Buy or sell is up to you and others - it's a free market!

(personally "I am holding")

And *again* you are "putting words in my mouth" (I wish you wouldn't do that as I am not doing that to you).

Firstly Nxt =/= NXT they are two different things.

Nxt is the platform and NXT is the "fuel" that it runs on - these are just the plain facts that I am stating.

So NXT *is* a crypto-currency but *it is not equivalent to LTC and other Bitcoin clones*. You can only compare "apples to apples".

In no way am I trying to "be condescending" - just pointing out that NXT is not like LTC or other Bitcoin clones (so investors should be aware of this and what being a "platform" implies).

If people have invested in NXT thinking it is just like LTC then they have "not done their due diligence".
