[ANN] Nxt :: descendant of Bitcoin

[Boing7898]

I see only a few accounts r mining. Make sure u run 0.2.2 version.

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

How are others mining then? Only 41 blocks have been found yet.

Accounts listed in Genesis block don't have to mature.

Client updated to 0.2.3 - https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/67242472/Nxt.zip

Fixed incorrect month issue and some JS errors. Widget with recent blocks should work much better.

OK I made it a little easier for newbies to start the Nxt client
If you download the following and copy the two files in the same directory as the Nex.zip you will just have to double click on the "start.bat" to open the client and the local host

Come-from-Beyond: Maybe you can test it (it worked on my PC and should work on every PC, but I havn´t tested it on other PC´s) and then give it to BTCNext that he includes it to the official download, so that people can just download the client and open it with a double click

I'll take a look later. Right now I'm setting up new nodes.

Guys, only a few accounts r mining. More of us mining = higher security of Nxt!

When I have the client open, then I am mining aotomaticaly, right?
Where would I see when I mine a block, is this showing any where?

Right.
If a block wasn't empty u'll see a transaction that transfers fees to ur account.
In "Recent blocks" u can see this by checking that "Generator" (blue man silhouette icon) matches ur account id.

If I unlock a new account with 0 balance, does that count as mining node, or should I transfer a few Nxt to it first?

How about if I keep the same account unlocked (with positive balance) on more than one machine? Is that even possible?

My suggestions: since it's all a bit complicated could you update the first post with all needed info:
- current client download link
- startup instructions: java -cp Nxt.zip Nxt, before need to make sure that java is installed
- how to open nxt GUI in a web browser and start mining

Make sure u run 0.2.3 version. 0.2.2 is fine too, but it has buggy interface that doesn't update recent blocks. F5 helps though.

0-balance account can't mine. Also a new account can start mining only in 1440 blocks after the 1st deposit transaction.

U can mine on as many computers as u wish. This will just lead to higher orphaned blocks rate.

I used the last client, and it works on mac, had trouble with the jdk, maybe re-install it be sure it's the good one !

Could anyone else do it? I can't change the OP. A new thread should be started.

Come-from-Beyond: So I hade made my Nxt acount on your webite, sould I make a new acount on my local client and send my Nxt to the new acount?
Have you alrady tested my files and did it work as it should? If so, those could be added in the new thread if they work, would be way easyer for new newbies

Yes, send coins to an account created on ur local computer.

These files contain a link to a local file that is on ur computer only. Other users will have other path.
