Hi.

I run BitsinoDice which is open source. https://github.com/Bitsino/BitsinoDice

Basically, no site starts out passive, but may become passive later. The flow of money is simple.

Visitors -> Registrations -> Deposits -> Profit ?

The problem is firstly getting traffic. Secondly a dice site runs a house edge typically of 1%, however this is an average over many bets, you could lose the entire capital of the site through a few lucky customers.

So even if you are able to get a constant flow of traffic you have to look out for security issues. A security issue could also wipe out your profit.

Good luck.

It was removed due to concerns over security, can't remember the details.

There's an article here. http://www.coindesk.com/hacker-returns-225-btc-taken-blockchain-wallets/

How can I check of its fair? There are seeds written, but how can I verify those seeds?

If you click on the ID, you get the verification popup. The calculation will match the way we calculate the roll in the back end. https://github.com/Bitsino/BitsinoDice/blob/master/app/models/bet.rb#L66

If the node which may sign the next block is determined by the network before it's signed, how to handle the cases where

* node with signing privilege refuses to sign, or

* signing node is attacked in order to prevent signing?

It's possible more than 1 miner would solve the block at 1 time. So if the block is prevented from being signed as you mentioned above, another miner might get lucky.

The block that gets signed is the one that enters the blockchain.

Personally I will use Coinaaa as a safe resting-place for my digital currency when bitcoins are falling in value.

What makes you so sure they will honor the buyback price.
17  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Proof of stake instead of proof of work on: May 21, 2014, 02:59:14 PM
DaT,

The NXT genesis account's pass phrase is well known.  (The first line of 1984.)  I wonder if a person could use that account that held 100% of coins and create an alternate chain?  


No because the genesis block is hard wired into the NXT server and all the coins from the genesis block were sent to the original investors.


I am also a little curious about this 51% attack thing.  It has been explained that because not everyone is supporting the network, a person might only really need 10% of coins to take over a chain.  

I'm not an NXT developer but I have looked at the code.

Let's say I have 25% of NXT coins. And I want to mount an attack. I need to do the following.

1. Wait until I am selected as a forger.
2. Create 2 blocks, one for the network and one I hold back.
3. Continually add more blocks to the block I hold back. This is my chain I will introduce later as my attack.

The problem is step 3. To add another block to my held back block I need to be selected as the forger for that block too. However forger selection is based on the hash of the previous block and my account address.

Neither of these I can change quickly enough to be sure I generate the next block. So my probability of being selected to build the next block is 25% for each block.

I read carefully what DaT contributed, but I can't apply his attack to the code as I see it.

The way Nxt does it is actually quite clever and solves the nothing at stake problem, there is more to it than this but the part of it that I understand is that choosing who forges next is every forger does SHA(last forger public key) Somehow how long ago an account forged and how many nxt owned by that account and information from the last block is factored in as well.  The winner is the one who has the largest hash.

That's not how I understand it from looking at the code. You don't so much choose who forges next, rather the node can decide wether a block is valid or not.

For the block to be excepted.

1. Hash the hash of the previous block.
2. Take the first six bytes of that. Let's call that rnd_selector
3. Take the current time since the last block in millis i.e. 100000
4. Take the effective balance of the account that generated the block.

If balance * time_in_millis > rnd_selector then the block is valid.

Code here https://bitbucket.org/JeanLucPicard/nxt/src/046e59e4df43309a37c2789efd39dba4a873bbe2/src/java/nxt/Generator.java?at=master#cl-160

Basically any account that meets the above criteria can generate the block, if no one can (or someone is offline)  time_in_millis will grow and eventually someone will be able to generate the block.

So to build a competitive chain in NXT, I would have to alter the block message so that rnd_selector keeps on selecting one of my accounts.

The above was drawn from the code so perhaps one of the NXT guys would clarify if this is inaccurate.

The network stake will never be more than a fraction of the total money supply as coins used for staking are essentially locked capital.  A coin with 100% of the money supply being used as a stake would require 100% of the coins to be in hot wallets not being used for anything else (no cold storage, no transactions, no economic activity).
I don't believe that is true for Nxt. Especially with leased forging. ("Forging" is what Nxt calls mining.) Leased forging delegates the forging power of one node to another, leave the source address unable to forge. However, the source address still owns the coins and they can still be spent - spending them reduces the effective forging power of the other node. There's a transaction that sets this up, and then the network remembers the lease and takes it into account when calculating forging powers.

Once leased, the source address no longer needs to be online. Your stake isn't locked capital. You can still spend it and be economically active. You can keep your stake in cold storage and still use it for forging.

This makes the situation worse does it not ? Now NXT owners will lease their coins to a handful of operators to earn fees.

These operators would be perfectly placed to mount an attack. They would have a % of the POS coins and they can mount a double spend attack with pretty much zero risk as identified by DaT.

It would be nice to get a clear statement from the NXT guys as to wether this is possible or not.

Demonstration of connecting the android app to an online wallet here

http://youtu.be/TSHYu0fCEAg

1. The wallet requests a master public key from the andoid app, after that a 2 of 2 wallet can be created.
2. User creates a payment and signs it in the online wallet (by using his passphrase)
3. Transaction is created, waiting for user to sign (for the second time) with the android app.
4. User signs with android app.
