NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information

[chanc3r]

I don't think there is an api call to filter AM's where recipient = X and sender = Y, right? (this should be added)..

Just call getAccountTransactionIDs for the account then loop and find the first one where recipient == avatar_account.

Erm what's the processing time for every thousand transactions... sounds a bit like avatar mining

Thanks, that did it! I think it slipped in when transferring the api from the wiki.

I also seem to have a problem with the deadline - docu says it should be in minutes. I get this reply for every request that has a deadline, sendMoney as well as placeOrder, etc ...

Do you see anything obviously wrong in the query below? Is maybe the 'REFTRANSACTION' to be dropped out of all queries? Thanks!

http://holms.cloudapp.net:6874/nxt?fee=1&secretPhrase=xxxxxxxxxxxxxx&requestType=sendMoney&amount=43&deadline=30&referencedTransaction=REFTRANSACTION&recipient=9998590259914237067

Get rid of referencedTransaction.

Guys, u were talking about splitting the bounty to 4 parts. Did u come to a decision? If u r agree to split the bounty then I won't spend time on speedtests.

Well I wouldn't mind. We all spend a lot of time coding. I guess hoax and gimre don't mind too, but I haven't heard Jaguar's opinion yet.

Ok, let's wait for Jaguar.

Does anybody know what time the strange fractional orders on dgex got cleared last night? For a few hours bter was trading 50% above dgex. That is clearly unsustainable and my guess is that the bter market got arbitraged down to the dgex price. Since the dgex price seemed to be stuck, this means the downward move from .00016 was not due to big seller, but arbitrage, or perceived arbitrage. The NXT/CNY value peaked at .85 and dropped to match the dgex price.

It seems the dgex price is unstuck now and this bounce at .00016 is the second time, regardless of the reason. It is not uncommon for a price to bounce three times before breaking out. I think it is good that it has come back down a bit as the rise was too extreme. Gather some support at .0001 and gradually get back to .00016, bounce back a bit and then finally breakthrough. That would be a sustainable pattern that would then turn .00016 from a price ceiling (resistance) to price floor (support).

Of course, this is crypto, so anything can happen, but I think there is a significant amount of fast money parked in NXT right now, so it could follow more standard technical patterns

It's fast particularly if you cache and use timestamp.

Or, a service provider could certainly maintain an http accessible cache. If you're not into the decentralized thang.

How much work is it to benchmark all 4 on the same platform? I would like to know the TPS and I think it makes sense for there to be published performance and also test results. Since it is JS, doesn't that mean it is browser specific? Do all four run on all popular browsers?

I enjoy reading your analysis.

Oh and btw...Frictionless has another project going on:

http://cryptosource.org/ixcoin-a-very-old-bitcoin-clone-ready-to-skyrocket/

He's trying to dethrone Bitcoin, Mastercoin and now NXT.

Will he succeed? Stay tuned...

He's busy with NEM.  Question for CFB; Is a Reputation System being developed by JLC or You? (or plans to develop)  I was going to offer a bounty for a working version, implemented using public AM.  

Reputation System is not going to be implemented in foreseeable future.

[chanc3r]

Yes, this would be the solution - if that alias of account number was locked and only the account itself can own it, then we can do this. If it is squattable, then it isn't possible to do.

CFB, what are your thoughts?

Squatting is allowed. Let's find another way.

Of course it is - squatting is one of the value's of aliases... So lets not call it an alias (even if that might be its implementation)

you have previously proposed locking 10 accounts in a special way for a specific reason..

So why not give all accounts a single new attribute which would support client/app/service development?

Alias might be the basis of its implementation but you could call it what you like.

+1  -- just use a special format of alias, like suggested @ followed by account ID.

It is my understanding that @ is not allowed at the moment, so the code could be changed so that only the account itself can create @ACCOUNT_ID.

I tested only signing in Chrome.

If these four will be reference implementations recommended for other developers to use, I think it would make sense for someone to spend the effort to benchmark and test on various browsers. All four implementations appear to be done in different ways, which means different performance and also potentially different compatibility.

Would be bad PR if any of the reference code has significant compatibility issues. Maybe someone can offer a small bounty for this? I am about to go on the road again, so I won't be able to test this, but I am sure there are people eager to earn a bit of NXT.

I don't even know how one would test this, so maybe someone that does could post testing instructions?

The other developers should do this work by themselves.
