NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information

[joefox]

Re: wiki updates --

I am on a contract now that is keeping me quite busy (and without reliable network access) until March 15. Once I have more free time (and perhaps before, if I can carve out some hours) I will start documenting wesleyh's webUI. I also have some other articles and content for the whitepaper in mind.

I'll prioritize getting docs put together for wesley's updated web interface, and work on that first.

Also: wesley's nxtmac client is 1-click and I love it.

Also: Mistafreeze's installer is essentially 1-click and I love it.

Also: clieNXT is 1-click and cross-platform

Also: Offspring is consistent and multi-platform

At some point a bunch of devs are going to have the "aha" moment that Nxt is the leanest blockchain possible and that Nxt provides the most competitive advantages of any available cryptocurrency platform.

At that point, this thread would explode.  It would be like the Twitter servers crashing because of the Oscars retweets.

Do we/can we have separate Client Bug Report Threads because I am forging on Offspring, was sent NXT, and Offspring shows no update in balance like the Blockchain Explorer does.  This is the type of comment/bug report that each dev needs to be monitoring individual Bug Report Threads for.  How do we get this done?

Lets test, and finally start AE

There is a bug in AE. Source code is public. The bug is not fixed yet. Am I the only one who thinks that something is wrong?..

Nope. I don't know what exactly you mean, but there are a few things that I cannot reproduce 100%.

I will release FreeRider beta tomorrow, and then hopefully more people can test the AE!

BTW: testnet keeps crashing with an asset it does not like:

Offspring is a product from DGEX.

Question of the day: How to fork @Come-from-Beyond!

[msin]

so mr. Msin, regarding of the "cryptographical PROOF", where are we?

a) msin: "I did my bests but I still cannot find the right guy. Please help me."

b) msin: "Yeah, I am in contact with a few right guys and soon we will have our candidate. Don't worry, now I go to bed."

Crypto Audit underway, will be completed in about a week, will give more details and release notes when finished.  Still working on an academic, but it's been more difficult since I still don't have specific guidelines.  I also wanted to wait for current Crypto analysis so that I could provide an academic with those notes and info so they have some direction.

Also, I don't remember saying "b)" but I think I will start using the line "now I go to bed" when my wife asks me to do the dishes.  Anon knows what I'm talking about  

Hello,

Have you found a auditer?
I put the word out to some of my sources and asked for tips for auditer, but if you've already located one then I don't have to focus any more time on this

Yes

[msin]

Than say what you think and dont let us guesse.

We need more core devs.

Exactly this.
A big project like NXT should at least have 5 active core developers for the next months.
Hoarders should pay up if they want their NXT to become worth anything.

Don't we have unclaimed funds for this?  To say that Hoarders should pay up isn't productive.  We need a budget, list of developers, timeline, etc..  Perhaps you can organize this Uniqueron?

1. Could somebody point me to the link of recently announced open source?
2. Does announced open source still have fatal flaw inside it?

[redsn0w]

Hey guys! I'm allwelder's friend.
If you want the price of NXT pumping up,
please go to https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=501963.0 to vote NXT!!!
Www.btc38.com is the biggest Altcoins exchange in China.
It will be a great news to NXT if the site launch NXT!!!

Please!!!

Done .

Question of the day: How to fork @Come-from-Beyond!

He prefers to SPOON

rickyjames and Asian Prepper look happy to be there

+1 .

and on a more serious note

NXTcash is zerocoin integrated into NXT. We are finalizing the design for a method that will allow us to use the current libzerocoin alpha without any changes to the NXTcore. A person would mint a zerocoin and pay NXT to register it. He will then have private data that can (should) be used on a different computer with different IP to redeem the private data into NXT into a totally different account.

Theoretically, there would not be any way to get more than a statistically random guess as to who funded the NXTcash redemption.

James

Can you describe in a few simple words, how NXTcash works?

edit: Not how to use it. How it works!

You would need to use a NXTcash enhanced client

1. You would start a command that says "mint X amount of NXT to NXTcash"
This generates private and public data, the public data is broadcast onto the blockchain
Now you have private files that contain the value of the NXTcash that you "minted"

2. The client should have a convenient, "copy NXTcash to USB drive" command

Z. <time passes and presumably from a different computer on a different IP address using a different NXT acct>

You start a command that says "redeem X amount of NXTcash"
It prompts you for the USB drive with NXTcash on it, here is where it uses the data on the blockchain and the private files to calculate a zeroknowledge proof. Basically heavy duty math algos that can be submitted for verification that you have indeed paid the matching amount of NXT for the NXTcash private files. Once they are validated, you get the NXT and destroy the private data so nobody can link you to the serial number, which gets published on the blockchain as "spent" serial number

Now the NXT that originally was in the first NXT acct has been teleported to the new NXT acct without anyway for anybody to do more than a statistical random guess as to where the NXTcash that funded the new account came from

Without step Z, there is no way to be anonymous. You certainly dont want to redeem the NXTcash from the same computer or same IP address. Maybe somebody who is expert at using Tor via proxy servers can achieve step Z without changing computers or locations, I dont know, I dont have any experience with those sorts of things. I believe that we have a right to privacy. What we do with our money is our business and NXTcash allows us to do this, which is something no other crypto or any fiat method other than cash itself can do. Actually fiat cash has serial numbers and those can be traced. The NXTcash has serial numbers too, but it is only revealed AFTER it is spent. Nobody knows who minted the specific serial number.

With step Z, the link is totally broken between the source of the NXT and the destination account. So, you could mail the USB drive to somebody you trust and they could do the redemption and other than people that know who you are mailing things to, nobody would know that you sent money.

1. https://bitbucket.org/JeanLucPicard/nxt/src
2. No, but if the only changes u want to do is changing the genesis block then u'll trigger a trap

[jl777]

James, Thank you for clarifying the difference between nodecoin and NXTcash.  
I think that nodecoin needs to be implemented in a way that does not encourage centralization but rather provides additional incentive for providing more forging nodes to the Nxt network, which then allows more TPS scaling.

I am leaning toward weighing the nodecoins mined to the number of computers mining, without regard to the amount of NXT they have.

Back to client:

I repeat my question regarding coming nexern client: will it be one click software? If yes, maybe it is better to wait for it and then promote or not it as main client software for NXT. Of course, if it'll come after months, then this is another story.

No one knows when/if nexern client is coming. He never released even the beta version like everyone else.

No need to wait for vaporware

[Mario123]

Now the NXT that originally was in the first NXT acct has been teleported to the new NXT acct without anyway for anybody to do more than a statistical random guess as to where the NXTcash that funded the new account came from

This sounds fantastic. But either you didn't explain how this really works with Nxt or I'm not smart enough to recognize the explanation

[EvilDave]

26......I must get out more. See Outside^tm

Went outside, did not like. Back indoors, reading monster thread. No idea what is going on, but we seem to be doing something right:

www.coinmarketcap.com

There are only 3 alts showing green in the top 20, and guess which one has made the most gains on a bad day for everyone else?

(I'll give u a clue, its not Auroracoin.... )

To the moon, kids.

I will, as usual post a lot more blah, blah really soon.
In the meantime, go the the marketing thread and check out what is happening for the Amsterdam BTC conference:

[farl4web]

Than say what you think and dont let us guesse.

We need more core devs.

YES ! but where to find them, mcjavar begging for days to find one

Couldn't we just hire one from the funds?
