NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information

[CIYAM]

Oh yeah, thanks, need to make an exception for forging, as far as I know this DOES require you send your password to the server.. (Because it needs to be able to sign the generated block).

Hmm... I wonder if we could do anything to improve that situation (maybe via a websocket?).

If we are going to have "trustless" then it would be best if it *was trustless* (i.e. no exception).

my guy is still coding his webshop modules for Nxt.
I had no news, but the first module should be ready this week
Will be for woocommerce in WP.

shoppers I contacted asked me for integration of:

bitpay 

Shopify

woocommerce integration

wordpress plugin

lightweight wallet like mulitbit

Hi Salsa,

Thanks for this list
woocommerce is first as a test case and because it also is easy to integrate.
From that, we will need to diversify, but should be easier as it's basically an adaptation of the same principle.
I am looking forward to the mail he is going to send me. Been waiting for this thing for a while now

[MadCow]

James, there's more issues than nodecoin and that's what's being referenced here.  Salsa and others are pushing to rent out space in parallel blockchains to store data/files/entire websites and this has nothing to do with nodecoin and everything to do with creating bloated blockchains.  

dude who cares if parallel blockchains are bloated. if you dont like it than dont run them!

I don't believe that approach would increase the outside world's confidence in NXT as a reliable 2.0 financial services cryptocurrency.

Oh ricky, just to remind you: my guy is still coding his webshop modules for Nxt.

There are still people working on the 1.0 stuff, even though I also think it won't be the future, but it ís good for the "now".

Great news Damelon!! Thanks!

And the shopping module?

Is there a technical reason why an acct without NXT cannot receive asset via transferAsset?

Does that account exist on the blockchain?

[farl4web]

72 Stakeholders??? WTF This must be a scam, tell me why there are only 72 Stakeholders???

Welcome to my Ignore List!

What shopping module?

The auth token should be able to be signed locally, right? Since the auth token contains the hash of both the secret phrase and server, this should prove ownership of the account...

Perhaps this can be a feature integrated in the NXT core? And only allow auth tokens generated recently to start forging, so old ones can't be abused.

Right, fix online now at http://nxtra.org/nxt-client-trustless

Still sends the pw to the server though, would need an API available but websockets are a good idea or something like that might be a good idea.

I think he means the Store Front.

Here I am trying to invite devs - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=515980.msg5702106#msg5702106  Java programmers needed - hiring, up to 10 million Nxt for development  (Read 213 times)

+ http://justpaste.it/nxt-intro-4-academics

the link is also here:
http://www.reddit.com/r/cryptography/comments/20kwag/nxt_invites_cryptographers_devs_researchers_build/

It can be shared on more places... Maybe if jl777 and rickyjames provided more info

hi sorry you are missing the point. this is a very amateur listing.

how much do you pay per hour? can the devs have contracts? why don't you post a proper job description with approximations for the number of hours needed etc?

"we are hiring, there are java bounties, send emails to X,Y" is  not OK.

[rickyjames]

Good point!! Are there any people working on NXT who don't have a big enough stake to stay motivated? If there are we need to help them get a big stake. Maybe give them an option to buy in at a fixed price down the track.

I would give the option to James.

I second this motion.

No public key

Edit: found problem, during rearranging code, the part that loads the password wasnt called, so a secretphrase of "" probably deserves to get an error

Yup - something to mull over and discuss with JL I think.

BTW - I tried "Add Contact" (to an unused address) and now I am just stuck on that dialog (Submitting button disabled and nothing responds).

Also I have sent you several "messages" about other things.

Agreed, James is a critical guy for NXT and needs to have enough incentive to stay super motivated, like he has been so far.

What about you ricky, how well-hung are you when it comes to NXT? You're a key figure in this community too.

I'm working on Digital Goods Store. Dunno what Store Front is.

It's a legit secret phrase. It even has transactions!

[eightspaces]

CIYAM , Ive asked myself several times the following:

why dont you port NXT to C++ and create a Bitcoin-like multiplatform desktop wallet for it , featuring COLD STORAGE of that cNXT

The masses will come to this quicker than one can see.

Nxt's java and utterly uncomfortable clients have been making many people disregard it, UNFORTUNATELY

c++ and proven wallet model for the win

Nxt is doomed to fail because it attracts almost nobody new -- which is why it cant go to the next level. it are 98% the same people in this community. no wide adoption at all,  because it is extremely user unfriendly compared to Bitcoin and co. it completely lacks the feeling of easy-going out of the box for most people.

we all know this, even CfB does but he doesnt care cuz hes a terminal geek and I respect that

A NXT paywall?

Offside the great technical stuff which is developed right now we have to consider, which features NXT should have for the Joe Doe, thereby he will pay with our currency in the internet.

I thought alot about at which places micropayment is used until now. There is flattr.com, for example. I have no idea how succesful it is but there is at minimum one point to critizise: It is not anonymous at all! The flattr-company knows who is paying/donating the money because you have to register with your adress, etc.

Then I remembered a topic, that at least was discussed by a great public in germany: Content at the internet is not free & the "mass mortality" of printmedia. In a row this discussion caused the development of paywalls.  Some small and some big newspaper (resp. their online-branch) implented paywalls between the user and their content.

So, in this field micropayments in the internet shall accepted by a great group of normal people.

Should'nt we focus on these paywalls and

1) try to convince the providers to implent NXT as one of the various ways to load your paywall-account?

2) try to provide our own NXT-driven paywall-client FOR FREE for all the smaller websites and businesses? If we compete with the big paywall-providers by offering the service completly free (except the transaction fee, of cause) I personally think some smaller businesses will use the service and they'll promote automatically NXT to a wider public.
