You could compile the code yourself and compare the resulting fim.jar with the one we put up for download.

Should be is not enabled. Sorry typo

Thats a universal java command line, not linux perse. Should work on win/lin/mac.

We use GPG signed announcements that contain both SHA and MD5 hashed.
You can see it our forum where we announce the releases.

Interesting use case. And all completely reasonable it's just not my decision alone.
Leasing is disabled in the core so no API sorry.

It was considered unsafe at the time of development, especially in combination with the added POS rewards.
Also still lots of changes are made to account lease in NXT core.
We will enable it if the community wants it but we'll have to make choices here this requires resources, we'll have to adjust the automated test env, the core code and so on.

There also is the issue of trust when it comes to leasing your stake. You must trust the lease pool owner to pay you, while this could easily be done from within the protocol where the forger fees could be paid  automatically based on a pre-set percentage.

Getting to a launchable product took a lot of time and effort, now that that's behind us we can start thinking as a community where to head from here.

Yes it's disabled.

To be clear.. If you're a stakeholder you can forge before block 2880 (basically immediately) after you make an outgoing transaction.
If you use the JSON API you can even forge without making a transaction first.
I guess they force you to do a transaction in the NXT client since it's safer to do so.

If you're not a stakeholder then yes you must wait 1440 blocks (which is half a day because of the 30 sec block time)

There is a block reward of 200 FIM. You'll get it as soon as you'll forge a block.
How many blocks you'll forge depends on your stake.


Not sure. Try reloading your browser.

Good one. It must have slipped through the cracks.
To be clear there is no hidden module in the FIM client that allows you to send NXT from thin air. 

Btw. We have an issue tracker over at https://github.com/fimkrypto/fimk/issues

I understand there was some confusion on why the organization account has been forging the first few hundred blocks.
In hindsight a better approach would have been to enable block rewards only after a few thousand blocks, but we can't go back now.
To be honest I never expected the IPO to be so successful. But I'm happy I was wrong 

The reasons that we wanted to forge blocks before releasing to the public are:

1. In case of a problem we could take it down and make adjustments.
2. And most importantly, the block chain is in not as secure at an extremely low blockheight as it is later on.

So sorry for the confusion, it's live now everyone can forge if they like.
I'm sure the organization and the community will work out a way what to do with the amount that was forged.

Received it and replied


I tried it to. After logging in to dgex and donating you can see the donation in your history.
It's correct that you cannot enter an account number, he's probably still adding that to dgex.


After the initial IPO (which you need in one form or the other for a POS coin) the remaining 66% of the coins can be earned by running a node or through the basic income mechanism (you need to be from Finland for that). This is a major difference from NXT.

A lot of time has gone into setting up an environment where we can keep track of the latest NXT developments. Part of this is the automated test environment. The reason for staying close to NXT is not just to have the latest and greatest NXT features but also to be able to act fast when a critical bug in NXT is found which requires an emergency software release. I'm not saying there is such a bug in NXT but it's a possibility. All NXT clones will be vulnerable until they patch their code. We can patch FIMK in a matter of hours.

Current features are indeed the mixing of POW/POS and the 30 second block time (instead of NXT 60 seconds). Features to add after the IPO will be decided by the organization members.

Hi,

I'm the lead developer of FIMK.

Please be assured that they will contact you shortly.

Maybe I can answer some of your questions?
