Well since everyone is talking about Ethereum, let's discuss possibilities with NXT. Vitalik expressed scepticism about implementing a scripting blockchain mechanism on any other than the very core level.

I've been working for the banking industry for 5 years.
These people are clueless about IT, their brains are stuck in 1980's
There will be no corporate adoption, only a bloody revolution.

Sell walls, off-exchange offers in multitudes of millions, so ETH is a NXT competitior after all?

FWIW, I politely reported the copyright violation (the code being a copy of Bitcoin Core run through an auto-formatter with all the attribution removed) as an issue on the github for the project and john-connor accused me of stalking him and then hid the issue tracker on that github from public view. :-/

If you buy 2100€ worth of BTC, you will have 0.00003 % of total coins
If you buy 3000 ETH for 0.7€/piece (2100€ total), you will have 0.004% of total coins
If you buy 2100€ worth of NXT, you will have 0.02 % of total coins

BobSurplus told you what to do. You did not listen. You got burned. You blame him. Why?

1BTC=$5m will happen on a normal day and nobody will notice. You will be the richest man in the whole town / city / country and nobody will notice. I wouldn't dare tell anyone if I were you.

Serious question

So I've been working in a tech company for 4 years now and my experience is horrible. The management is completely incompetent, the documentation is missing - nobody knows what to do when you ask them to do something. We have been also using a software from HP, which is a crystal nightmare. A NIGHTMARE. You cannot possibly imagine how bugged it is. They bought it in 1990s from Mercury Interactive, sacked the dev crew and stuffed it with some amateur programmers from Kolkata.

This could never possibly survive under the free market and in competition. But there is none, guess why? BANKS. Yes, our major contractors are banking and insurance companies, the older the worse. Communication with them is terrible, they can't speak english, they have 10 subcontractors. This is doom.

But guess what? They can print money, they don't need to be successful for that.

Let the cancer puppet show end, Bitcoin, I beg you!

I mean, if you have a lot of capital, the amount of existential press diminishes, right? So you are fully entitled to sit in a meadow and meditate though the rest of your life. What else would you want to do?

I would open a spiritual newage healing clinic if I wanted to do something more.

The Cryptonote/Bytecoin codebase #XMR is based on is atrociously bad, orders of magnitude worse than #Bitcoin. WTF: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/amjuarez/bytecoin/master/src/crypto/tree-hash.c

"Freenet is a peer-to-peer platform for censorship-resistant communication. It uses a decentralized distributed data store to keep and deliver information, and has a suite of free software for publishing and communicating on the Web without fear of censorship. Both Freenet and some of its associated tools were originally designed by Ian Clarke, who defined Freenet's goal as providing freedom of speech on the Internet with strong anonymity protection."

So it is also basically a free storage space.

So I fired up the BTC Qt Core client yesterday to sync up with the blockchain. And it took 98% of CPU and something around 980 MB RAM while syncing. This does not happen to me with any other Qt-based cryptocurrency. What I was amazed by, however, was the total lack of any development. The GUI looks the same as with the first initial version, the client is becoming ever-heavier, there are no new functionalities (seriously Hobonickels have better dev team of one person than Bitcoin), the only difference is a pesky "client is shutting down" notice. BTC is nowhere near comparable to NXT.

NXT blockchain downloading is fast, simple and does not lag the client or take any unnecessary resources from the system - not true for Bitcoin.

NXT is available across all platforms that support Java without additional need for compiling for the specific platforms - not true for qt-based clients, including Bitcoin.

Writing an NXT plugin is extremely simple and effective - programming on the Bitcoin core is complicated and required dedicated companies for feasible results.

Not even word like "sidechains" can save Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a tech startup, it is not a platform, it is an application developed by a single man.

Goodbye, Bitcoin

Hello. I am a Linux and compilation noob. Let me ask you for help. I am trying to compile Qt5 client of HBN for Linux armv71, but I have been unsuccessful so far.

The procedure is to remove

Code:

-msse2 from Makefile
#include <xmmintrin.h> from scrypt_mine.cpp

because arm has no support for sse
and then to compile using

Code:

qmake
make

However, I get stuck on the following error:

Code:

build/scrypt_mine.o: In function `scrypt(void const*, unsigned int, unsigned int*, void*)':
scrypt_mine.cpp:(.text+0x4e): undefined reference to `scrypt_core'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [HoboNickels-qt] Error 1
linaro@allwinner:~/Downloads/HoboNickels-1.5.0.0$ scrypt_mine.cpp:(.text+0x4e): undefined reference to `scrypt_core'
-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `.text+0x4e'

I believe this is because I deleted #include <xmmintrin.h> from scrypt_mine.cpp from scrypt_mine.cpp

If anyone wants to try on Pi2 or the like, I would be grateful

Hello, in my attempts at creating an alternative to bitcoin from scratch, I encountered this serious issue related to transaction signing. I am capable to sign transaction details locally, but if I sign the transaction locally and then broadcast the ledger update, the transaction signing does not matter, because I can forge the file after signing the transaction.

Where exactly is the transaction signed in Bitcoin and how is it assured that the transaction broadcasted to peers is indeed signed and not forged?

example of my faulty client:
-Alice sends 2 coins to Adam
-Alice uses the application to sign the transaction
-Application saves the transaction to the local database
-Alice meddles with the local database
-Local database is then broadcasted with false data

Is the only solution really a ledger with history of all transactions?
