NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information

[klee]

This isn't modeled, but is a simple icon/logo:

"NXT image"

"Stop sign"

Are you saying the shape of the NXT sign reminds you of a stop sign and has a negative connotation?  Actually the NXT symbol is a hexagon and a stop sign is an octagon, they aren't even the same shape...

I wonder if BCNext has picked the hexagonal NXT symbol he did for a reason...like bees in a hive using a hexagonal comb?  Could this be an allusion to a "hive"?

It just reminds me of the stop sign though I am not sure if this is good or bad!
Just noticed the one is hexagonal and the other octagon

Which ornament, CfB? What did I miss?

and theoretically, whats the worst thing that someoone could do if they had the genesis acct passphrase?

Issue more NXT and dilute the value of everyone's existing NXT?
Or if you prefer:
Create more anti-next and dilute the value of all existing NXT?

Is the 1 Billion next fixed in the code or can it variable? Can the 'owner' of the genesis account issue more next if they chose to?


Now CfB has returned, can you or anyone shed any light on this? Is it possible for NXT to become inflationary? It has been bugging me for a while... though all the mystery is quite exciting too

I'm afraid u have to wait 5 days more coz I was off and noone else can implement necessary API calls. And btw, I'm still waiting for the combined list. Or any list.

OK guys Ill start us off, add your requests to the list:

1)  an API to get a qty of assets.  requred parameer of acctnumbr. with no other parameters it lists all qtys of all assets.  optional parameter of an assetID to just get qty of that asset.  another optional parameter of a timestamp to get a snapshot before or after that particular time.  these 2 options may be used together

2)  I still dont fully understand if/how/when automated transfers work, since in my testing so far, with no QTY API, I cannot tell if automated trades due to bid/sell matching occurs.  so Im sure if this process can be described, we'd want some other APIs  

3)  Allow "getAskOrderIds" and "getBidOrderIds" to specify a certain assetID

4) An API to show all transfers of an asset from 1 account, specifying the asset and the transfer-or, and optionally the transfer-ee, and optionally a timestamp to show transfers before or after that point.

5) An API to show all transfers of assets into 1 account, optionally allowing to filter to a specific asset,and optionally a timestamp to show transfers before or after that point.

Doh. Ok, I'll have an edited version in 5 minutes.

All transactions that lead to negative balance r ignored.

If anyone could help with a 16x16 pixels, good looking animation (representing "busy" in my client), e.g. a small rotating coin, that would be great. I would need an avi file of it (actually avi and an animated gif)

[Come-from-Beyond]

Doh. Ok, I'll have an edited version in 5 minutes.

Really? It's quite hard I think, coz u have to do seamless merging 6 times.

@CfB: Did you see Jean-Luc asking for help with the code? He was waiting for you and I am waiting for a bug fix release... :-)

Can this be removed from the Abstract of the Whitepaper: http://wiki.nxtcrypto.org/wiki/Whitepaper:Nxt

"While many are not comfortable with the specific initial distribution of the genesis block, when asked: "How would you solve problem with scam accusations according to "unfair" distribution NXT to 73 big stakeholders?", BCNext answered: "This problem can not be solved. Even if we had a million stakeholders the rest seven billion people would call this unfair. A world with the money can not be perfect".[1]
The fundamental improvement of NXT is Transparent Forging. This is the key innovation of NXT that allows it to process thousands of transactions per second."

Yes the initial distribution is an issue but can it not be included in the abstract - Abstract should provide a brief synopsis of NXT and its features, not a brief synopsis on Nxts most controversial issue.

He asked questions, dunno if it's related to ur issue.

Something about the implementation of getAccountBalance which seems to be connected to getState taking ages since block 51.000. (As far as I understand this might also be the reason why DGEX didn't update to 0.5.10.)

Maybe I found our audit guy (for PoS and/or crypto algo).
Max Keiser is launching his own pump&dump shit coin and tweeted this (thank you asshole):

A bit of googling later:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigel_Smart_(cryptographer)
"Smart is best known for his work in Elliptic curve cryptography, especially work on the ECDLP.[1][2][3] He has also worked on Pairing-based cryptography contributing a number of algorithms such as the SK-KEM[4] and the Ate-pairing[5]

Smart carries out research on a wide variety of topics in cryptography. Recently, he has been instrumental in the effort to make secure multiparty computation practical. A few of his works in this direction include [6][7][8]"

What do you think guys?

if hes not one of the "math" types way more than he is a CS type then he sounds ideal.

Too many coins... I fear a very bad ending... hopefully not for cryptocurrencies in general.   

Don't worry. When I launch Qubic all cryptocoins will die, only cryptoplatforms will survive.

so whats the worst someone can do if they possess the genesis account passworD?

It must be Putin resistant and Bitlisenced

Hi guys/gals. I was in a clinic and now back. Almost 100 pages to read, gonna catch u tomorrow.

Hope, you're alright.

Aye. It requires too much time.

If DGEX doesn't update to 0.5.10 then it will stick to a fork eventually.

[Come-from-Beyond]

Nothing. Genesis account passphrase will be revealed anyway when the time comes.

Personally, I don't think the textures work well at all at any type of display smaller than, say, 512x512.

What size did you want the hexagon? (maybe that's why you mentioned seamless tiling x6, I didn't understand that earlier).

I still think flat colors works better but it's not my logo



Edit: I get it now. You also want the NXT chain as the border.
