Do we have a well organised swarm-team with email notification? A guy, who has all the emails of supporting members and everytime when there is a important article, video, ... the whole swarm-team gets an email with the link and everybody likes, shares, ... this content.

I think this would be a great opportunity for guys like me, who cant develop but want to help as well.

Could you organize that?

We already have a swarm team. Uniqueorn is in charge of that and we have a group of 30 people.
I am a part of this team.

This testcase succeeded!
We should do some additional similar testcases

Great to see people creating test cases - but it would also help if people created "extreme test cases" that "purposely try to break AE".

Devs unfortunately have a habit of only testing the "expected use cases" themselves (so generally you'd expect that you won't find a bug that way). It is when you do something "only an idiot would do" that you are more likely to uncover any flaws.

Simple examples of such "idiotic" ideas might be things like "0 value" bids/asks or other "out of range values" as well as edge cases to do with zero or potentially negative balances.

Don't just "test that it works" try and "test that you can't screw it no matter how hard you try".

Some bounties for "breaking things" might be in order also (hint to technical funding committee).

Send me your tescases and I will log them in the test management tool during the weekend. I will also communicate how to access it, once I find some time to do it. (I will do it today or tomorrow)

I am on a meeting today the whole day with only limited access to the forum.

Hey all, I'm brainstorming a pretty novel idea for the asset exchange. I sent the idea to a few people, so as soon as they tell me I'm not completely stupid or crazy I'll post it here

Nxt :: Asset Exchange Testing

Let´s get things organized!

I´ve created a project for Nxt AE on TestPad.

https://nxt.ontestpad.com

Anyone willing to test AE please join the site so I can add you to the project.

What is TestPad for and why to join?

We can

- write test cases
- run tests step-by-step
- track tests step-by-step
- track bugs
- track bugfixing progress

Please PM me your username after registration.

Edit: TestPad is charging $9/month for every new user. I will pay for the subscription from my own pocket, so please, only join if you are serious about testing.

Still looking for some candidates WHO ARE ABLE TO WRITE TESTCASES!

AE (0.8.7) looks pretty good and stable. I made following pretty "complicated" test that involves multiple characteristics of the AE order matching algorithm in one test case. If such test cases succeed, we can be pretty sure that all the simple functions involved work as intended.

The test case was the following:
3 Accounts involved, account A and B are sellers of "Peanuts", account C is a buyer of "Peanuts", they sell and buy different amounts for different prices.

Possessions before trade:
Account A: 1000 NXT, 2000 Peanuts
Account B: 500 NXT, 5000 Peanuts
Account C: 2000 NXT, 1000 Peanuts

Offers:
A makes a sell offer: 300 Peanuts, Price: 2 NXT, Fee: 1 NXT
B makes a sell offer: 200 Peanuts, Price: 1 NXT, Fee: 1 NXT
C makes a buy offer, 350 Peanuts, for 3 NXT each, Fee: 3 NXT

The AE Order matching algorithm assumes (correctly) that a buyer wants to buy as cheap as possible. So, C buys 200 Peanuts from B for 1 NXT each (200 NXT total), and 150 Peanuts from A for 2 NXT each (total 300 NXT).

Final possessions after trades:
Account A: 1000 NXT + 300 NXT - 1 NXT (fee) = 1299 NXT,
   2000 Peanuts - 150 Peanuts = 1850 Peanuts
Account B: 500 NXT + 200 NXT - 1 NXT (Fee) = 699 NXT,
   5000 Peanuts - 200 Peanuts = 4800 Peanuts
Account C: 2000 NXT - (200*1 NXT) - (150*2 NXT) - 3 NXT (Fee) = 1497 NXT
   1000 Peanuts + 200 Peanuts + 150 Peanuts = 1350 Peanuts

And finally, there is still a sell offer active from account A about 150 Peanuts for 2 NXT each.

Additionall, the total amount of Peanuts before and after the trades must be the same:
before: 2000 + 5000 + 1000 = 8000 Peanuts
after: 1850 + 4800 + 1350 = 8000 Peanuts

Also the amount of NXT must be the same, minus the fees:
before: 1000 + 500 + 2000 = 3500 NXT
after: 1299 + 699 + 1497 = 3495 NXT (5 NXT are "lost" as fees)

This testcase succeeded!
We should do some additional similar testcases

Great idea.

We need to have performance tests and boundary tests, too.

Could you write a script for that? I would like to see how AE performs in extreme conditions. Especially, when the underlying NXT infrastructure make transition to the next block.

We also need to really test the referencedTransaction
Its one of those optional things that really complicate the possible states things can be in and would be a prime place for race conditions and other edge effects

Change log:

Fixed incorrect setting of genesis block timestamp when
local time is in the daylight savings period. This must
have been the reason for users in the southern hemisphere
being unable to forge.

Since DST in the US starts March 09, it is critical that
at least those in the US upgrade to 0.8.8 or 0.7.7.

There are no new bugfixes or features in 0.7.7 relative to
0.7.6 other than this daylight savings time fix.

10000 NXT BOUNTY for google authenticator help


I am announcing a 10000 NXT bounty for someone to help me integrate google authenticator to the gateway. It will be paid when the gateway passes the community created test plan for multigateway.

I need someone that can do the webpages needed for account # and token input and the server side code that properly correlates that. along with whatever other help I need. Especially making sure the process is secure.

James

Edit: I hope somebody knows where to update the list of bounties and will do so

I do not understand the bounty.
But I've programmed several times (after each change of API), Google Login code.
Does that serve you?

The bounty is for doing a website that interfaces with the gateway and all of the google authenticator integration into the gateway. antanst is doing the website, but I still need a C library I can use to deal with all the TOTP stuff. Ciyam sent me C++, but I am a simple C programmer so if you know of C source code I can use for TOTP, that would help.

James

NXT disappeared from http://coinmarketcap.com/  Does anyone know what has happened? 

[bitcoinpaul]

i was thinking about the issue of forging too... to be specific, forging pools.. i dont know if this could work or be beneficial but here goes,

(if leasing forging power is posible) people lease their forging power to pools! pools generally use one acc to and pool the funds to increase forging power.. there fore there's only one large acc forging.

i suggest pools are rewarded if they run multiple nodes.. so say 100 people lease their power to a pool the pool uses one acc to forge as normal but the more nodes the pool has the more it increases there forging power.

imagine it like the pools running the nodes for the people they are renting forging power from. so their is an incentive to run loads and loads of nodes,, proof of node! ha iv no idea if that can work or not or if its just stupid.. just throwing it out their! some one else might get an idea from it!

Bottom line: We could have one big pool who is responsible for many many smaller pools?

Just another api error with one of the exchanges, I assume.
