How does the mining work?
I unlocked my address but nothing is happening, no CPU load, no GPU load. I'm confused. 

It's 100% proof-of-stake currency. More money u have == more blocks u mine.

So, me being someone that doesn't have any coins..
How do I obtain some to start mining?

Buy them or do some work for them.

Is there a faucet or something yet?
Where can I buy some?

There will be some bounties set. One of Nxt stake holders offered a few millions, read a couple pages upthread.

Why does the time in transactions and blocks list say 24 Dec 2013?? We are still in November, right? Or is it a bug related to the java numbering of months...

Any recommendations for a cheap VPS to use?

There is Digital ocean who offer VPS with 1CPU and 512Mb RAM for only 0.007c/hour (5$ month)

Nice referral link but thanks, I've signed up and paid $5... creating my 'droplet' now.

UPDATE CLIENT RIGHT NOW!

Link?
Thanks!

[St.Bit]

Right, so when will an online client be ready that is secure?

Never, relying on a 3rd party can't be secure.

Not 100%ly secure, but your online client is so damm unsecure it's insane to use or offer it at all.

I don't want to trashtalk my investment here, but from my perspective you all have shown far too little sensitivity for security to run a closed source project with such enomous requirements on security. If you can't fix the perspective from outsiders about your security effords noone would buy any of your coins.

I don't think you are, but you do look very incompetent on this for an outsider.

Change your altitude towards security, and stop to offer help in a way that rings every alarm bell on everyone with brains. Requesting keys via PM is a nice way to help people, but if I had read something like that bevor I wouldn't have bought any coins at all. The way you handled the initial distribution is extemly incompetent and I don't even see how others could check the whole initial block. Asking someone to set up a VPN so you could configure his machine is madness!

Why does the time in transactions and blocks list say 24 Dec 2013?? We are still in November, right? Or is it a bug related to the java numbering of months...

BCNext confirmed that server part contains

Code:

calendar.set(Calendar.MONTH, Calendar.NOVEMBER);

Client part:

Code:

Date.UTC(2013, 11, 24, 12, 0, 0, 0)

Weird...

[bahamapascal]

Hmm, just opened the client and get this...

Any idea what is wrong?

It's OK.

This is where the problem is, must be Date.UTC(2013, 10, 24, 12, 0, 0, 0). Java numbers the months starting from January=0, so November is month number 10... very annoying but I guess too late to change in the JDK. But if the server side code is fine, fixing just the client should be simple.

I have 5000 NXT now, account is unlocked, but still no CPU/GPU usage.
What do I have to do?

Thank you. So strange to count November as 10th month, but 2013th year is still 2013...

What do I have to do?

Wait for 1440 blocks before u able to mine. Cunicula could explain why he added 1440 blocks maturation period. 1440 blocks ~ 24 hours.
