NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information

[abuelau]

It's better to use http://localhost:7874/nxt?requestType=getAccountPublicKey&account=100000
If u get unknown account message, then there were no transactions to that account.

More precisely, the account public key becomes known to the blockchain when the first outgoing transaction has been sent from this account. And you can't make an outgoing transaction unless there are funds in the account. So there is some chicken and egg problem here, the very first time you open an account and want to fund it, the above request will tell you that the account is unknown. Client developers should still allow sending money to such an account, but just give a warning.

Btw, account # 100000 is still waiting for someone with a supercomputer to get the jackpot...

What's the story with this? Where can I find more info? How can an account be 100000 (6 digits)? There's no passphrase you could put in the client to generate an account with so few characters.

http://87.230.14.1/nxt/nxt.cgi?action=1

I was reaching blockchain using this URL now I can't.

Btw will there be a nxt blockchain with a domain. like nxtblockchain.com?

I created a nxt alias (nxtbc) and you can use 22k. http://22k.io/nxtbc

CFB,

A question, When I signed up a few aliases, I found that sometimes unsuccessful or delayed.

If the future of p2p trade, the deals will be delayed or unsuccessful too? Not real-time and quickly?

Depends on fee and how fast me implement all aspects of Transparent Forging (I mean ability to send transactions directly to next forging node).

[utopianfuture]

Thought I'd try to find out how my little laptop in the English Countryside sees the network of NXT Nodes

After a bit of tinkering I got this...

Shows total number of nodes registered to IPs in a particular country and where the IP has a registered geographical location.

https://mapsengine.google.com/map/viewer?mid=zDbwNrja6dlY.kwTCMrAWqtAQ

Quite a geographical spread - but my no means complete I'm sure as I'll only see some of the nodes, probably need files from a few other nodes to get the complete picture unless every node has a complete list - anyone??

Shame I can't query nodes for information otherwise it could be a really interesting picture :/

Ok... now I am about to start getting NXTmotional with all you wonderful people!!!   

Very interesting.

How can an account be 100000 (6 digits)? There's no passphrase you could put in the client to generate an account with so few characters.

You can. If you're lucky enough. Very lucky.

Someone just made a mistake sending a payment. I believe in 10 years someone will be able to get a key that opens that account.

Edit: I foresee a company that will create computing cluster solely to pick the key. Any ASIC producer could do that.

I think I'll just enter a lottery

[intel]

Criticise what I'm suggesting, but first understand my position. Ask questions. Don't assume.

You thought about security only after found several strange 1 NXT incoming transactions. Fear made you to move and speak with community.

Would you like to fund fully completed bounties, which may be interested to you?

Just create a new bounty then, it can be for example - "Security Research of NXT account in forging status", which 'll lead some real specialist to make some really complicated analysis for you and community.

Fund and develop bounties you need, or create a bounty to look and manage good bounties for you.

so how do we protect against this?

[ferment]

For those with the restart blues...

If you're using supervisor to manage NRS...

1. Create /etc/cron.hourly/nrs containing:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
supervisorctl restart nrs

2. Make sure it's executable:

Code:

$ sudo chmod +x /etc/cron.hourly/nrs

3. Sit back and relax.

That account has no a public key assigned to it yet. To protect urself just send 1 transaction back to ur own account. This will assign a public key and make it impossible to pick the key.

You can. If you're lucky enough. Very lucky.

But if

Passphrase can be any 100 unicode chars
SHA256(passphrase) gives privateKey of 256 bits
Curve25519(privatekey) gives publicKey of 256 bits
SHA256(publickey) gives accountId of 256 bits
First 64 bits of accountId  is 20 digits visibleID (visible in the upper left of the client)

Are you saying that you could have an accountId with just 6 digits? Or perhaps the first 14 digits are 0's is that what you mean?

[Come-from-Beyond]

Hi yuriygeorge. I was worrying that u had been hit by bus...

[ImmortAlex]

Or perhaps the first 14 digits are 0's is that what you mean?

Exactly.

[Come-from-Beyond]

That account has no a public key assigned to it yet. To protect urself just send 1 transaction back to ur own account. This will assign a public key and make it impossible to pick the key.

Only accounts that have zero transactions need to do that, right?

Yes, zero outcoming transactions. Later a new type of a transaction will be implemented to assign a public key in advance.

1. create an aliases with the uri: "acct:YOURACCOUNTNUMBERHERE@nxt"
2. wait a little bit for propagation
3. check http://22k.io/YOURALIAS

When I created my alias for my main account, I left the uri blank.  How do I change it now?

[NxtChoice]

I have already set the timeout to 10000. Now it's very strange that so many errors during the start of the process, and also error shows up when go to https://localhost:7875

It ran OK last night in this laptop.

1. create an aliases with the uri: "acct:YOURACCOUNTNUMBERHERE@nxt"
2. wait a little bit for propagation
3. check http://22k.io/YOURALIAS

When I created my alias for my main account, I left the uri blank.  How do I change it now?

Assign it again with the new URI and 1 nxt fee.

[coolfish]

CFB,

A question, When I signed up a few aliases, I found that sometimes unsuccessful or delayed.

If the future of p2p trade, the deals will be delayed or unsuccessful too? Not real-time and quickly?

Depends on fee and how fast me implement all aspects of Transparent Forging (I mean ability to send transactions directly to next forging node).

If some people rush orders at the same time, the users who in the slow node network will never succeed?
