NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information

Running Nxt over tor
I tried to run Nxt over tor using torsocks, but apparently this doesn't work for java. The way to tell java to use a socks proxy is to define socksProxyHost and socksProxyPort properties, in a system properties file or on the command line:

Code:

java -DsocksProxyHost=127.0.0.1 -DsocksProxyPort=9050 -Xmx1024M -jar start.jar

Replace 127.0.0.1 and 9050 with your tor host and socks port, if not default. Basically this is equivalent to the socks proxy options in the configuration of bitcoin-qt, if you use that.
You cannot use tor if you want to advertise a public IP or run a bootstrapping node, so only use it on your mining node, if you care about preserving your privacy. And you cannot hallmark a node ran behind tor, so if you are a stakeholder and want to contribute to the network stability, please consider running a separate publicly visible hallmarked node (and if you want to anonymize that one too, need to use a VPN which allows port forwarding and dynamic DNS).

Is VPN necessary? Only hoster of 88.198.210.245 knows my name. And this is plain cheap VPS.

VPN is not really necessary, just another level of indirection for the extra paranoid. If your VPN provider and VPS host are even in different countries, you need an adversary of the rank of NSA to force both of them to cooperate, or to track you down by monitoring global internet traffic.

I would like to setup a VPS but my skill level isn't that high, and I want to ensure my setup is 100% secure. Are you able to help me? I've never used linux before, and a windows VPS is more expensive, and maybe less stable for NXT from other user reports anyway. I'm thinking Digital Ocean is the best option, but am very open to other suggestions. I want to contribute towards making the network stable & secure.
thanks

Install CentOS 6 64 bit and send me IP and root password.

PM sent, thanks c-f-b

Do u think Nxt is already on their radars?

[salsacz]

maybe they created it so they can control the world after NXT will have a billion of users

I remember that story with BCNext ... Oh, wait, somebody knock on my door...

Congratulations with a fortnight anniversary of Nxt to all !!

Especially to BCNext, the creator, and CfB, the helper of the creater.

What for? They already has Bitcoin. They can attack it with their own ASICs, but they can't attack Nxt the same way.

Thx, u forgot about urself. U brought Nxt to russian community.

So, when can we expect to see all the declared features included in the software, at least in their beta version? I know it can vary, but was just wondering how development is coming along.

of course, because here no hacker of government can stop us, thanks to decentralized system of NXT

Hi Guys, can you please help me by sending some NXT to 14171569324784196393
I would like to see how it works before putting my money into this system.

And what will we do with no internet ? So easy to diconnect people from world these days !

- not so easy with Nxt's distributed DNS.

Current plan is to publish sources of all base features on the 3rd of January and release closed source decentralized exchange. Stakeholders still can't decide. There is a thread on nextcoin.org.

I'm rewriting different parts of Nxt code, BCNext is working on refactoring the decentralized exchange code. We must fix all serious issues before launching the exchange. Frankly saying I hope Nxt price will drop and more users will be able to join us.

Alright. Yeah, hopefully the price drop can make the top holders to distribute some coins.

Is there a way to force client to mine his own transactions? So that commission would return?

[abctc]

Is there a way to force client to mine his own transactions?

- yes. You should buy 1bil of NXTs for that.

Yes, keep an eye on ur forging timer and when u see only 5-10 seconds left, hit "Send".
