I just tried QR code generation, everything under 600 chars seems fine, everything higher will probably be a mess with displays below 1k*X resolution.
I think 600 characters is probably plenty for doing what I suggested. Nice! It's fascinating how there are so elegant solutions for everything, truely amazing. In retrospect I shouldn't have made a master in finance but in computer science.. |

One address burned 0 BTC and has CHA, while another burned BTC and has 0 CHA.
Why?
i'm guessing someone transferred CHA from one to another address? Rofl, yeah call me retarded. ..... fail  |

Ok, but a PGP key is roughly about 450 chars right? Wouldn't that be bigger than the recommended 300, for not so high resolution devices/cameras?
A PGP/GPG public key is much bigger than that (as it normally uses RSA style public keys) but if we use the EC that Nxt uses then the public key itself would be just 256 bits (so I am not saying that we need to use PGP/GPG but that we should consider the way it does things in terms of creating your own trust network). Signed messages will be bigger than the public key of course but I think would still be small enough to be handled by most smart phones these days (and we are planning here for the future so I don't think it is a huge concern if we are aiming at the next generation of such devices). I just tried QR code generation, everything under 600 chars seems fine, everything higher will probably be a mess with displays below 1k*X resolution. |

Hmm, that could work. Everything that a computer illiterate can do is perfect for adpotion of the broad mass.
I can assure you that a PGP/GPG public key (without things like a photo included) can fit into a single QR code as the CIYAM Safe uses this already. Ok, but a PGP key is roughly about 450 chars right? Wouldn't that be bigger than the recommended 300, for not so high resolution devices/cameras? |

Hi Guys, Newbie problem/question so please bear with me I installed the windows version of the NXT client yesterday from http://nxtra.org/nxt-wallet/ and funded it with a small amount of NXT. I now can't find it on my PC. There's no reference to it in the programs folder where I would have expected to find it and no link on the desktop or in the tray at the bottom of the screen. When I do a search of my PC all I can find is the NXTWallet-Win Zip folder. My OS is Windows XP. Where's the client gone?  TIA for any help.  Do you still have the password? then your funds are safe! Your program is wherever you unpacked the zip file. It does not install itself in program files or add shortcuts. So basically if he ran it directly out of the zip, then it is/was only stored in the %TEMP% folder. Just reinstall it then and save it this time, then you should be fine! |

Yes, but we are talking about a broader audience. Can't imagine, that this will work for them.
The main problem with PGP/GPG currently is a UI problem (most people find it a bit intimidating to use). There are simple ways that we could *fix* that - imagine you meet someone and exchange QR codes with your smartphones as a way of "exchanging business cards". Hmm, that could work. Everything that a computer illiterate can do is perfect for adpotion of the broad mass. |

The problem with africa and mobile apps is, that most cellphones there are not capable of running apps. While it would be nice to "capture" the cellphone payment marketshare, it won't work, until africa upgrades its hardware!
I think we should invent cheap smartphones and then spread them there Haha that would be awesome. NXT/NEM sending africa to the 21th century! |

One problem i see with this is phishing. We would need a WOT for that, or smthg like that
And PGP/GPG has already showed us how to that also. Yes, but we are talking about a broader audience. Can't imagine, that this will work for them. |

So u r against unique people-readable names but not against machine-readable ones. Got it, now ur idea looks less utopian.
Yes - I am looking for "practical solutions" that support "decentralisation" rather than ideas that support "name squatting and scamming". And I think .onion paved the way. One problem i see with this is phishing. We would need a WOT for that, or smthg like that |

How did this coin with all this problems? Still optimistic?

They don't explicitly state that non-unique aliases (aka names) won't work but I have a feeling that at any given time u must have unique aliases or routing will be broken. How uniqueness of aliases is achieved - another question.
Routing is not broken if you have unique identities (i.e. names that don't look like names). TOR does exactly this for .onion services (those look a bit like Bitcoin addresses). Are you claiming that TOR .onion services "don't work"? Aren't those .onion and BTC addresses also unique? Maybe not pretty, but unique nonetheless? |

I do not understand that Exo on so little interest encounters! Until now only 78 pages?
So am I. I dont understand why so many people invest at first ipo, its amazing that there are 175 BTC. Because of dev always offline, no people want to post here.  Do you want the dev to communicate the whole day here or do some work on the code? You can't have both. I rather have a solid product and a silent dev, than a shitty product but a dev that talks all day... Haha, you are Crazy Is there already a release date for EXO??? yes, just take a moment, and visit his website! |

Sold him 1.51 BTC for his stars.
Smooth transfer and very nice conversation with.
Good luck on the tables!

Internet 2.0 Nxt Decentralized P2P Internet Network. is the idea that I would like "nxt" to become Nxternet? InterNXT |

5 BTC ~ left. Gogo |

The internet 2.0 sounds impractical for big bandwith usage, or am i wrong?
I think if you look at projects like MaidSafe or Bitcloud (the latter would be my preferred approach) you can see that this is actually *very practical* when done the right way. I have read some coverage about bitcloud/MaidSafe, and my concern is the scalability if it becomes mainstream. But then again Devs are very creative and will come up with a solution. *the future is exiting!!!* |

Although I do wish "NXT starter" all the best understand that the AT system will allow you to create a crowdfunding AT that requires *zero trust* and *zero commission* (will simply be run by fees).
The plan I have in mind is to make this as simple as a "form that you will fill out" in order to create this AT (so no need to even understand programming at all).
It isn't easy to understand Internet 2.0 as we have all become so used to Internet 1.0 but hopefully people will see that "centralised websites" are going to have to become "a thing of the past".
No probleme with that, i even hope this is our future, i'm ok to become one thing of the past after some month if decentralized web become real. But for now, NXTstarter can be a nice windows for everyone, where we can see what is going on. NXTstarter could be a platform to showcase the projects but isn't involved in the payment process.
Yes it can be that. More Better, NXTstarter work with all crypto, so there is also some thing to do here. While i think this project is nice, I am a bit skeptic, that your numbers will match reality. Within 2 years 2% of all NXT will have to go through your platform. While possible, i doubt it. Care to convince me?
In the realworld, crowfunding websites are also not very successful.
It is very ambitious plan, but remember all crypto are allowed on this webiste. If you successfully establish a good image as a kickstarter platform, then I can see you succeding! Because BTC is already a big market. Nice! |
