Asset Exchange is very slick. Better than Nxt's best client.

I understand, that you had some problems with some of the guys over in the Nxt thread, but looking at your recent posts here, it seems that you are now trying to talk Nxt down.

The counterparty webclient is very neat, indeed, as well as some Nxt clients are neat, too. Donīt be biased and please donīt denigrate the work of a lot of people, just because youīre angry.


just to make it clear:
I have a higher stake in XCP as in Nxt (proportionally), but I think that both approaches are very interesting and promising. I just donīt like if someone is spreading false/bad information over and over again, just because of rage or disappoitnment.

Thanks mom.

If the developer of the web wallet reads this thread:

Very small editing error thing, but when I went to convert BTC to XRP the pop up box reads:

In order to do things with Counterparty, your address needs to contain at one confirmed "unspent output" for each action you want to do (e.g. send, create asset, etc).

I believe you want this to read "at least one confirmed"

Sent some.Wait a while.

Thank you.

You don't need install anything before using the webwallet.

https://testnet.counterwallet.co

I can send you some test BTC and XCP.

That would be great. I created a new account and an address: mzYjg5uEgzQ8DBMi31UUZ4Js4czNbMFLps
Appreciate your help.

Counterparty is based upon PoB - Proof of Burn concept. You can check the total XCP created during the burning period here: http://blockscan.com/burn.aspx

What I'm wondering is if it's a mined coin with transactions handled by BTC block chain
or do the transactions get verified via proof of stake or some other way?

Cool so many great replies. I saw the wallet looks a little complicated to set up, but I can't imagine it's much more complex than
Nxt's wallet. The new online webwallet coming out seems almost exactly like a Nxt brainwallet.

When the online wallet launches tomorrow does it work standalone or do I need to have things installed on my computer for it to work?

I've also read you need to install bitcoind. I've always used Multibit for BTC so I don't have to download the blackchain.
Do I need to have bitcoind to use counterparty?

Also, is counterparty considered POW or POS?

I just sold 98% of my Nxt holdings this week because I see too many problems with it and Nxt community here at bitcointalk is full of knuckleheads who basically ran me off for asking technical questions. I don't know much about counterparty but I've heard it's pretty cool
and does more than Nxt. Can the community here help me get started?

This is my last post at this forum.

I'll give 200 Nxt to the person who catches me posting here again and shows me this post. If someone tells lies about my motivations again or mischaracterizes what I've asked or said I won't be able to defend myself. You call can read and decide for yourselves who the asshole was here.

I've now said my piece. I am clearly not wanted here. I hope that all you potential investors here read through my questions and continue trying to get answers if anything I have written here makes you wonder as well.

As for right now i see Nxt is built on sand and there's huge problems regarding whether or not POS can work, at least in this implementation of it. Read BcNext's 3rd plan and read between the lines against the context of the questions I have been asking.
 
I hope they solve these potential problems with leased forging or node-coins or whatever. My assessment is that none of these problems will be solved anytime soon so theres plenty of time to watch the development and buy in later if they start to get their shit together.

Sayonara geeks. See you on the moon.

That's assuming the rest are all dishonest and coordinating together. An impossibility.

If 50% of all stakeholders shut down their clients (bitching at them for whining about not getting rewards doesn't help, they don't read bitcointalk.org)

26% of 1B is 260MM


Please point me to an account that has 260M nxt. That's 7 million dollars (even at current low rate).  Why would I invest 7 million dollars in nxt and then do anything to the network that will destroy my own 7 million dollars investment.


If you have answer to that bold part, please share it.

If you try to buy 260M it will cost you FAR more than 7 millions. You can't find that volume unless you rise the price significantly to make big stakeholders to sell.
This would be finacial suicide. Never gonna happen. and the plus side to this is all ppl holding nxt would also become millionaires.

Yeah I didn't even bother mentioning that. Buy just 50 million out of BTER and the price would already be way over 20 cents. 
 

Someone slowly injecting 7MM into the Nxt market would not be that shocking. It's to be expected if it is successful.
Sure people would get rich as the price rose, just like with Bitcoin.  That's not the point at all. The point is that it's POSSIBLE. if it's possible then smart people will know this and will not invest.
It will never take off because there's too much risk that the networks growth will also be it's demise.


At .20 per Nxt it would still only amount to $52MM dollars. Leveraged buyouts cost way more than that.

Cfb didn't answer the dev of mastercoin on lets talk bitcoin when he was talking fud. Draw your own conclusions.


Yet he regularly replies to emule. I have drawn conclusions about his not answering people who have real questions.
He clearly doesn't give a shit about clearing up misconceptions, if that's in fact what they are.

You can call me whatever you want. I'm not even talking to you. I'm hoping to get through to the little guy out there who is reading this forum, thinking about plunking down a large chunk of their salary down on a technology that is being misrepresented in it's marketing and that possibly has huge technical flaws that no developer is willing to answer questions about or clear up. Read the 3rd part of BCNext's plant. It goes right to the heart of what I am getting at.

I think there's a reason C-F-B released that on April 1st. You're all fools if you can't see that it clearly says Nxt is built on sand.

7MM is not that much money. That's a fucking paltry sum to be able to take down Nxt. Some guy at Goldman Sachs could wipe you out just to give Ethereum an edge. 7MM would be a cheap investment for something like that.

You've basically answered me. Nxt is EXTREMELY vulnerable and built on sand.
13  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information on: April 04, 2014, 05:10:02 PM

I thought you said you were leaving if someone buys rest of your nxt?

I'll be gone pretty soon don't worry.

26% of 1B is 260MM

This is what I want to know. In a nutshell.

If a Malicious person is able to acquire 260MM Nxt (current cost around 7.5MM to 10MM) by using pools or whatever can they bring down Nxt?

How likely is this? It seems possible to me. If it's possible, even if it's unlikely, then Nxt is built on sand and I would not advise
anyone to base their business around it.


C-F-B or Mtchcl (maths guy) could shut me up for all time by giving me a definitive answer here.

Im sure all the trashtalk of Briannowhere could be locked with one sentence explaining it  mathematically.But people just ignore him.When you solve this he will come with another stupid claim,saying he is legit because he did something for the community.

And dont tell me to be nice with him.I am nice with absolutely everyone, but not with a guy who tries to tilt everyone who is putting much effort here and spend his days creating a bad atmosphere in the thread. I cant believe someone even criticized TwinWinNerD for the escrow, when Brian is just here trying to destroy all your efforts.

Yeah, I'm trying to destroy Nxt. That's why I invested in it. It's people like you who convinced me to stop. I was never into dogecoin but you people could learn a lot from that community.

You guys love emule because there's no substance. I'm the worst person in the world because I ask uncomfortable questions you don't want to face up to.
16  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information on: April 04, 2014, 04:49:17 PM

Why? The rest of billion nxt would be distributed among so many different users, they will never be able to coordinate together to launch a double spending attack (even if individually all are dishonest).

Not if the people who hold that percentage Nxt are all small stakeholders (wide distribution) who don't bother to run open clients. Then you've got a security problem.

How would that be? If people with small amount of nxt don't run nodes, the big holders still get to forge most blocks. How has anything changed? You need one person (or a large group all coordinating together) with  more than 500 million nxt or something to generate more than 10 blocks in a row




My understanding is that 51% of ALL stake needs to be running open clients AND be good guys. Are you saying that it's only 51% of all
open running clients that need to be good guys?  

In this case if 50% of ALL stake-holders were shut off, then 25.1% of the the remaining stake could bring down Nxt? That seems even worse.

Reality is that forging is not profitable at all. The problem about the forging model is that people misunderstand it as an actual alternative to "mining".

The problem is also that if 50% of all stake is not "forging" (running open client), the network will be vulnerable to attack. If Nxt becomes too widely distributed it becomes a big problem. The network is self incentivized to stay more centralized with a cadre of very large stakeholders who will protect the network. Meanwhile these large stakeholders will get all the forging rewards.

Nxt should just come out and say don't bother forging unless you have 100K Nxt. The big shareholders will protect you.
That's not what the marketing says.
19  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information on: April 04, 2014, 04:26:40 PM
We don't have pools, but even if we do, we have like 150 people with over 1 million nxt? As long as some of them are forging, no pool is going to forge 10 blocks in a row anytime soon  

150 ppl holding 150 Million is not half of a 1 billion. You need 351 more millionaires to protect the network.
can there never be pools with Nxt? Everything that's going on today is not what will be going on tomorrow.
20  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information on: April 04, 2014, 04:20:03 PM
I don't believe Brian with 12K nxt ever forger a block (correct me if I am wrong).

My account number is below. I ran an open client 24/7 from the day I opened it,  had over 23K a large part of that time and never forged a single block.
