In case someone is wondering what's that about and don't have the time, this is good news for Nxt as Curve25519 looks safe (and fast).

I can see it now... the website didn't load in last minutes... probably due to the high traffic thanks to reddit

What's up with all the negativity and hostility lately?

I must say you really start to know the people when times get tough and there are quite a lot of folks on edge here since the prices have been dropping.

Please remember that EVERYONE can read these threads. What would you think if you were interested in a crypto and saw all this bickering and hatefulness?  

The last few days I've thought of selling every one of my 72k NXT because I started to realize that with all this negativity, no matter how good the tech is, NXT will NOT succeed...

Think about the consequences when you guys barf sh*t out of your keyboards!

Lol,one post from someone upset with the price is not NEGATIVITY.

In fact,most of the people posting here daily and working on the project,have had no issue with the price and dont really care.The negativity is brought by people who come to cry for not earning free bitcoins with nxt fast.And you have to include people who post here on purpose to show negativity because for any reason they dont want Nxt to succeed.

I'm *only* 14 pages behind on the thread, almost up-to-date, but I have a little VPS problem:

Just upgraded to NRS 8.9 from 7.5, but I'm getting 'the matrix has you' when I try to connect from home....
Anyone want to post an example of a nxt.properties file that allows full access to a VPS/node?

I'll pick it up in an hour or so, thx v. much.

What's up with all the negativity and hostility lately?

I must say you really start to know the people when times get tough and there are quite a lot of folks on edge here since the prices have been dropping.

Please remember that EVERYONE can read these threads. What would you think if you were interested in a crypto and saw all this bickering and hatefulness?  

The last few days I've thought of selling every one of my 72k NXT because I started to realize that with all this negativity, no matter how good the tech is, NXT will NOT succeed...

Think about the consequences when you guys barf sh*t out of your keyboards!

Even if everything is going to shit, we need to keep our heads up and not fall into the trap of taking our frustrations out on others.
And again: think before you post, please. This thread has a very public function.

Exactly what I was just thinking reading the last few pages. You want to be treated with respect like an adult? Act like one. Some of the behaviour people will just air out for everyone to see in the most inappropriate venues, blows my mind.

But they do call this the nxt "pub thread"... Sometimes it seems like a real pub in the later hours of the night,  lol.

Yep just like the pub and others sometimes have to step in and stop things getting out of hand.... ^^^

I really havent seen so much negativity.Sure there have been discussions,but today,although the price dropped a lot last night,we 've seen lots of new projects/ideas..

Brian offering to search devs,a web with all data from the asset exchange,the first hours of the first NXT mining pool, a new paper about Nxt,the confirmation someone is working on TF,CIYAM back to the thread,new ideas,more people introducing themselves to the community...

Please note that I goofed in my original post about the multipool.  The ports are 3008 for the vardiff, 3032 for the fixed 32-difficulty shares and 3256 for the fixed 256 difficulty shares.
that is:

stratum+tcp://hashrate.org:3008 for vardiff
stratum+tcp://hashrate.org:3032 for fixed 32-dificulty shares
stratum+tcp://hashrate.org:3256 for fixed 256 difficulty shares.

username: your NXT id
password: whatever you want

The share stats are all on the hashrate.org page but they are currently password protected because I am exposing them directly through the redis-commander (which is a big security nono) - I will get the stats all on a totally open public-facing page first thing tomorrow.  I should have SHA-2566 up by then too.

Thanks all!

Hi all,
I should have the public facing site available later tonight - sorry, I am at my day job currently and I have to go out to my parents for dinner after work but I will get the statistics working tonight once I get home.  I will also have a status page, where you can easily check the pool health/status/latency.

For now though, here are the pool stats per worker:

NXT ADDRESS                    WORK (SHARE * SHAREDIFF)
1762953482260651997           70960

(the full pay-out policy will be posted on the site once it's made public later today, but it pays out prop based on amount of work done.  
The pool so far has been doing not bad orphan-wise:

invalidShares   130

What new paper about Nxt?

after some consultations etc I got this from one talented guy:

I am really glad that the first Nxt financial and economic analysis was finished,
so I can present you a 15-pages paper from one very smart guy:

What are the economic parameters of Nxt?

his Nxt ID for donations is:

1820734801611231561

Comments will be post to: https://nextcoin.org/index.php/topic,4433.0.html

some of the others have still only obtained only a few NXT.  I will be updating the stratums at some point over the next couple of days to allow you to pass your requested payout interval along with the wallet ID as the name of the worker.

Nice!!For someone like me who has no idea of mining.
How much Nxt can this generate per day every 24h, depending on number of users?

Guys, imagine many many assets for BTC on the Asset Exchange. And one of them is the asset of James' gateway.

What could we do to make it easier for average Joe to choose the right and trusted one and ignore the shitty scam assets?

have a site where verified companies advertise and people "request a code" by entering there nxt address in a box for the company/asset they are intersted in buying  and they get a message on the client from the real seller of the asset with a link to the real asset!

perhaps on the new block explorer that gives stats! just have a green tick or something for a verified companies

Other less centralized ideas?

Pandaisftw posted some ideas a while back - which are here

https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1FsyumJLmQ9ckLNkHlmW1oPRGOoK3oAg_pVjFz3s0fNw/edit#slide=id.g1ce2334a0_00

I don't know if anyone has picked them up - would need to be implemented client-side...

[opticalcarrier]

Nice, second one accusing and comparing me the same way.

sort it out yourself guys.

What has become of this community?

Was determined to buy back but no thanks after this shit.

never mind GL and bye

BTW: I am the second community member you personally chase away.

oh i chased you away?  OK so after I made you mod at 2 different forums sites and give you leave to operate there how you see fit, all I have to do it point our a few coincidences (while in no means being rude in any way) and thats considered "chasing you away"?  Sounds to me like you werent very committed in the first place.

Nobody is/was attacking you, there is no proof anyways, we are simply pointing out some coincidences.  Untwist your panties and stop being a baby. 

LOL wait, hang on everybody.... Besides pinarello, guess who the ONLY OTHER member here who accused me of chasing off someone was?  any guesses?

[mikesbmw]

Lol,one post from someone upset with the price is not NEGATIVITY.

In fact,most of the people posting here daily and working on the project,have had no issue with the price and dont really care.The negativity is brought by people who come to cry for not earning free bitcoins with nxt fast.And you have to include people who post here on purpose to show negativity because for any reason they dont want Nxt to succeed.

It's not about one post (I accidentally quoted some posts, which I immediately corrected), it's been going on for the last two weeks.
The parts about the nodecoins, asset exchange, schedule, people leaving etc.

It's not me imagining things, I've heard the same from friends and read the same observations from several people in this topic.

Funny that you mention people "crying" about the price. Remember that everyone needs everyone! Don't be so condescending in your wording.
If the price gets to low NXT funding has major problems, because in the outside world things cost money.

The people working on NXT for free are my heroes! Really!
But remember that everything that is said here has an impact. We are running a multi-million dollar "business" here. A lot of people seem to forget this and post stuff like they are on a hobby project between friends. Great if you look at it like this, but the harsh reality is that it's no child play anymore.
