1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: [NEM] ---NEM stake complaint, questions etc.--- on: March 14, 2014, 07:47:20 AM
Hi,

I was one of the early posters on the original stakeholder thread, and I was listed in the stakeholder googledocs list with the Y, I checked back every month or so, I have checked back today and I am no longer on the list.

Did I miss something? I have been busy lately.

Here is my post on page 16 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=422129.msg4645151#msg4645151

THERE ARE TABS AT THE BOTTOM OF THAT SPREADSHEET. USE THEM AND YOU'LL FIND YOUR NAME.

Thank you patmast3r.

Why pick expensive materials?

Why not more commonly used and more useful materials?

Carbon steel for example. Steel is also very recyclable.

Just a friendly reminder for those that are just looking to buy NxT coins. I recommend waiting for the price to stabilize! See for yourself:

1,000,000,000 (1 billion) initial coins
73 initial adopters
so roughly 13.7 Million each (assume equal distribution)
at 21 BTC Total
0.000000021 BTC per coin

current market rate is about 0.0001 (4700x)

To those who are buying these coins now... most of the coins are being hoarded, so you can only buy them on the market for 4700x or 470,000% of what all of the 1 billion coins were paid for at genesis. And people are buying, sadly, without looking at these figures. Remember - all BILLION coins are already out in circulation, and no more will be generated. All BILLION coins were bought originally for 21 BTC in total, or about $4,000 worth.

To give you an idea, someone is selling 1.8M coins (.18% of all coins circulated, that were bought for 21 BTC) for 180 BTC. If this is an early adopter (may not be), then he would have bought the same 1.8M coins for less than .04 BTC, but now is asking 180 BTC in just 1-2 months. Also, BTC is worth 6-7 more now in USD than at genesis.

I LIKE this coin, and its potential, but I don't like the price it's at, and the greed that the price is showing. So PLEASE, stop and check the math out yourself, and ask what this coin is worth.

I recommend new NxTers to stop buying these coins so high, and bringing the price even higher. Wait for some original investors to sell and distribute, and buy them at the dip. Thank you.

NXT: 6933627427271736687

The value of NXT has changed significantly as new features are announced and implemented, with the speed that new versions are released and as more money and time is poured into NXT the value is going to increase.

The price disparity from the initial conception to now should be expected. The price may crash, the price may skyrocket, but it is justified that the price is significantly more than at early adoption.

Version 0.4.4 - https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/67242472/nxt.zip

Added Jetty DoSFilter (thx to Edward Elric)
Added myScheme, myPort and shareMyAddress parameters (set them to appropriate values, they will be used in next version)
Added enableHallmarkProtection, set it to "false" if u wish to switch the protection off
blacklistingPeriod is set in milliseconds instead of seconds
logPeerCommunication replaced with communicationLoggingMask (1 - log exceptions, 2 - log responses with non-200 HTTP response codes, 4 - log responses with 200 HTTP response codes), mask values can be combined in standard way
Block feeding chunks increased from 128 KiB to 1 MiB.

NB: Change maxRequestsPerSec value from 3000 to ~30 if u run NRS as a Nxt peer.

Could someone please break some of this down for the less technical. I've read about hallmarks in the wiki, is it recommended that someone who has their wallet open a few hours a day runs a hallmarked node?

If not how does hallmark protection effect those not running a hallmarked node?

myScheme, myPort and shareMyAddress What values should they be set to?

Cheers.


Hallmark nodes are looked to by un-hallmarked nodes for blockchain info. When we were being DDoS attacked, the HallMarked ones were the best targets since taking them offline would effect other non-hall marked nodes. Ideally to prevent that, I think all nodes should be hallmarked.

There is no real benefit with having your wallet open or not. It helps the network, sure, but not your particular account. You need a static IP address to run a hallmarked node, or at least one that doesn't change too often.

But if you're forging for a few hours a day hoping to forge a block then there is a benefit correct?

Has the SHA256 hash for 4.2 been updated on page 1?

4.4 I meant.

Anyone know the effect on alias requests right now?

Receiving server response transaction ID's but no movement in my account.

How safe is it to transfer NXT with the current attacks?
14  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Nxt :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information on: December 23, 2013, 05:15:45 PM
Is there a way to be sure your node is aiding the network?  Maybe a populated active peers list indicates this?  If I can be sure, I will set up more nodes.

Should a node maximize CPU, RAM, or bandwidth?

Just keep it running, ur node will push blocks and transactions. Chose bandwidth for private node and RAM+bandwidth for public one.

I downloaded nxt.zip from the link on page 1 and caught up on the right chain in less than 10 minutes.

Is a node anyone running the NXT client? Where are the options for bandwidth and ram+bandwidth and what do they do?

Yesterday, about 20:00:00 I bought 1400 nxtcoins from dgex, and now it's 18:24:00 and I still did not get my coins to my wallet... What the hell, did anyone had to wait that long for them to arrive?

Has your withdrawal in dgex been completed or is it pending?

Is there something I have done wrong or do I need to be more patient?

I followed the youtube instruction video by pinarello, I got the server response with a transaction ID on 50+ requests on multiple accounts but I haven't had a single transaction on any account, just the same NXT I had before. I've even tried sending a request now, received a transaction ID but no movement in my NXT account and I can't find my account number on the unconfirmed transactions list.

Fee's ranged from 1-10.
17  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Nxt :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information on: December 22, 2013, 10:42:14 AM
I made a new account and transfered the max amount of NXT I wanted to spend to stop from overspending.

Don't think I got any aliases though, in the same boat as you pinarello.

But I'm struggling to understand what will make you rich. You can't trade aliases so you can't sell them.

I see the potential advantages of having an alias if you were running you're own business, but what does it matter if I have google, or batman, or sex? How do I get rich?

Even if you could trade an alias NXT would have to become significantly bigger than bitcoin and cryptos in general become significantly bigger, it's a long road ahead and who knows what the 3rd or 4th generation of cryptos will bring and bitcoin has far from made it.

I'm a NXT supporter check my history, but people are talking about this like it's a sure thing when we don't even know if any of the current coins will be around in a couple of years!!

If I want to go to batman.com I will just open a web browser and go there. I feel like I'm missing something obvious but I don't know what.

to clarify, should we submit if the last block was 21999 or 22000?

As far as I know 22001 is the first block to register an alias so submit if the last block was 22000.

The alias feature is cool but I'm struggling to understand why people are staying up late in a desperate bid to secure aliases.
20  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Nxt :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information on: December 21, 2013, 08:54:45 PM
What is everyone planning to do when registering alias?

If you end up with one passphrase holding 100 aliases and the function to trade an alias is never implemented I'm struggling to see the benefits and less so an alias that is tied to an passphrase tied to many more aliases.

An option for profiting from an alias without the trading function would be leasing your alias to a company with a contract that stipulates for x amount of time your alias will direct to y website and z email and any money received by that alias during x amount of time is property of the company leasing the alias. I figure this would work if you can prove ownership of the account and you could be prosecuted for fraud/theft etc, but as stated above if you register 100 aliases to one account and then try and lease them it would be very confusing when there are another 100 aliases also tied to the account.

Overall I'm still struggling to see the value of an alias that is untradeable if you don't plan on actually building a business yourself with the alias and I feel that NXT would have to become significantly bigger than bitcoin for there to be any value.

I've seen it stated that making them untradeable to there to stop squatting and I dislike squatting but I think you would still have a problem with trolling, people  registering thousands of aliases just so someone else can not.


I've read a read and skimmed a decent chunk of this thread and not see what happens to the fee you place on buying the alias? Say I pay 1000 NXT for batman does the 1000 NXT go to the account that forges that block?
