Happy Birthday to NXT, Happy Birthday to us....

Botnets will rule this once it becomes cheap to forge or the rules are relaxed.  

Maybe so - but I think we could make it harder for them by requiring accounts to "register" their IP address.

(so likely they would end up stomping over each other)

EDIT: If we limited "changing" IP addresses to once per day I think that would make it even harder for botnets.

IMO we'd not give away security level for "fairness". PoN/PoI-algo'd be slick otherwise we start a war with botnets which'll never end. Until such algo unrevealed or not invented I'm sticking to pure PoS.

With all those donations going around, I would like to remind u about 2 great NXT projects, that need some donations too

1. NXT community support for Songs of Love charity (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=468258.0)

2. peerexplorer.com  cashes - rewards public nodes for keeping NXT network alieve! (forum topic: https://nextcoin.org/index.php/topic,2266 ) (cashes explained: http://peerexplorer.com/  → FAQ)

Just as a laugh, just tried to check the transfer time of some of my lovely NXT from account X to account Y. I pressed send on one open NRS with account X, then swapped tabs within Firefox and the NXT was already on account Y. Try that with Bitcoin.....

I doubt it also - but I do think we can address the Sybil attack vector much as with "hallmarking".

I am only trying to *help* but for sure my idea might not be the best one.

In the end we'll end having 1'000'000'000 IP addresses coz a guy with 5172 NXT will create 5172 accounts. So in the end we'll come back to the beginning.

Edit: A good name for this project has just come to my mind - Uroboros. 

so what is the best solution?

 ... We could exploit this feature and use it to mix coins into oblivion.

Green Nxt: exotic video, new version:

feel free to share

Good video, perhaps a typo though, "Mine Forge Nxt with your smartphone or raspberry pi"

or did you use mine for attraction value to a newcomer

You know how I know BCNext is not a native English speaker?  A native English speaker never would have used the word "forge" positively in connection with currency.

I dont believe bcnext came up with that term

BCNext used "mining" as I recall.

How about FOGRE to avoid any confusion...

Ofc, I here disagree with BCNext, if he stays on "mining" today. There's objective difference between entities: mining, PoS-mining and forging.

Why in 0.8.0e shareMyAddress is the same as peer networking?
Why i cannot run peer networking without sharing my address as it have been before?

If you have an address that other peers can connect to, you can't really prevent that from being shared. Even if your peers don't share it with each other, you don't control which peers you connect to. So when you connect to one peer, after a while you request from it all other peers that it knows about. Then, you start connecting to them one by one - and all of them get to know your address directly from you. So it doesn't make sense to announce a public address, yet to set sharing to false. It will still get known, only a bit slower.

In fact, in 0.8.1, I added a feature so that setting nxt.myAddress is optional and only strictly needed if you use a non-default port. If you don't set nxt.myAddress, but nxt.shareMyAddress is still true (the default), when you connect to a peer he will see the address your request is coming from, and at a later time try to connect to this address at the default port (unless you have set nxt.myAddress to something else, in which case it will try to connect to your announced address). If it succeeds, it will treat your peer as if nxt.myAddress has been set to the address your connection was seen as coming from. And also share this address with others so they can also connect to you. This way you don't need to worry about what is the external IP of your router, and especially if it ever changes for those with dynamic IPs. If you don't want this to happen, set nxt.shareMyAddress to false. In this case, the peer networking server will not be started at all as nobody will be attempting to connect to you. You can of course still make outgoing requests and receive responses to them.

My intention is to put one of these trifold brochures on every chair in the three speaker areas at the Texas Bitcoin Conference early in the morning on March 6

if you do this, organizator will collect them all in 5 minutes. It is not allowed to use conf areas for non paid ads

LOL. I'm gonna HODL some Nxt and then use it to FOGRE.

[NxtMinnow]

Yes, I am going to HODL some NXT so I can FOGRE till the day I IDE!  If I had more BTC today, I would YUB, YUB, YUB!

In other news, I have contacted all the exchanges listed in the 2/22 SWARM and encouraged all of them to add NXT.

NXT distribution continues to widen; this weekends mystery NXT giveaway is reminiscent of the Million Plus NXT giveaway in the first 25 pages of this thread. 

Happy 3 Month Birthday NXT!

CfB,and or BCNext

can you please give this top priority?

We need someone to say if Crypto and Curve25519 code doesn't have bugs/flaws.

Is that descriptive enough?  I need a decent write up (w/ links) so I can send to her something that won't lead to more questions.  I can have you two email directly if that is easier.

Then I will just have to figure out another way to distribute them once they are printed.  Perhaps I can arrange for (cute female?) handout personnel at the doors when they open.  Certainly we need printed handout materials for the four conferences we are going to have reps at over the next six weeks.  My request for funding stands.
