NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information

[Daedelus]

To those that code and those that want to learn

I came across this site: http://www.codecademy.com/

Has anyone used it and is it any good?


It has interactive help for JavaScript, HTML/CSS, PHP, Python, Ruby and APIs. Doesn't appear to have Java but a discussion recently about which language to learn I think supported Python (except CfB who said Java).

Any thoughts?

Sorry if this question has already been asked and answered:

Would it be possible for the community to remove an asset?

Let's say we find out that certain assets (issued by specific users) are used for illegal purposes.

I know censorship is a big no-no in the crypto/anonymous/internet world, but I think it would be necessary at some point.
We wouldn't want AE to become, dare I say it: "Silk Road 3.0"...

Dude, I make it a point to read ALL your posts... You have made over 180, most in this thread, I just searched all your posts back over the last couple of days,,,, the ones I remember are still there.... The only person who can delete them is you, and I wouldn't be surprised if you deleted one, forgot and then blamed us for it...

Why delete your posts, you provide contrast.... the more noise you make the more support NXT gets - troll on...

Hey, don't leave us! I'm even reading ur posts now. This thread is not self-moderated, so noone deletes ur posts.

[Come-from-Beyond]

Guys, can't we collect some NXTs for Emule so he could dump them and drop the price? I hope this will make him happier.

A personal attack of that nature if directed at someone I could understand.

Infrastructure Committee decisions.

Thanks for the professional update! The committee is working in the background to help Nxt, it's nice to hear about that. It gives faith to the community. Keep up the good work!

Possibly via account control. Good question!

Regarding pandaisftw's document:

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

point 1: I don't like anyone being able to create the same name. It will lead to confusion. However, it's likely that this solution will be implemented in the core anyway.

point 2: if you can just choose whichever company name you want, scammers would be able to take advantage of this. An alias contents can be updated easily.

This also means that both the name and company name can be updated, again leading to confusion.

Images may be useful, have to have some system to flag images though..

Same with audio/video.

Perhaps it would just be easier to supply a URL.

Thanks for taking the time to look at this Wesleyh, I know you're busy

Still catching up to the thread, sorry if this has already been discussed:

About point 2, and clarification of my idea:

1) *Aliases* names themselves cannot be changed (ie. they can be squatted). Thus, if I register the alias "123Industries", and we use <AliasIssuer=123Industries> tag on the asset, there is no way the issuer can change his or her company name. The URI field of this alias can hold an URL, but then the issuer should include an alias token field if he plans to do so. Additionally, the account # registering the alias must be the same as the account # issuing the asset, otherwise the client should reject the asset as a phony.

2) Asset name tags cannot be changed. I updated my doc around 2 weeks ago signifying this change. <AssetName=Shoes> is simply a string the issuer includes in his asset description. I agree with you that this can simply be added to the core. There is not much reason to actually restrict asset names to being unique *as long as you can identify the seller* (which the 1) unique company name alias helps with). Nike may have an asset called "Hiking Boots" and Ralph Lauren could have an asset called "Hiking Boots" as well. Despite being two different products under the same asset name, you would not be confused which asset is which, because you know the sellers.

Yes, images/audio/video do open up a whole new can of worms. We will have to look into ways to filter out content as explicit if we do decide to go down this path (of course, all done client-side, and the user has a choice if he wants to filter or not). I don't know how Google or Bing do this, but if someone knows, that'd be great! Imagine the NXT AE being able to show-case games much like the Steam Store does. You can have screen shots, gameplay videos, reviews, etc. right on the asset - huge potential! Or a service that sells DVDs, you can see the trailer of the movie right there in the AE.
 
If filtering (either through user flagging, algo, etc.) is not possible or effective, then yes, simply a URL would probably suffice (although, definitely not as slick!).

As for the categorizing, I assume you agree with this? It's much like how twitter users use hashtags to index their tweets so algos can find their tweets easily. Applying this to the AE, this will allow a gold bar asset seller to categorize his asset, and streamline searches on the client. So if a user searches gold bars, his asset will be easily found even if the user did not explicitly search his asset's name.

Pandaisftw

Well, in the last 30+ pages, it seems that non-unique names have been added to the core

However, all the other tags still apply, especially the <AliasIssuer> tag. For example, Anon can call his company "AnonSilver" (alias). Using this tag, he can issue any number of assets under this name, as long as the issuing account # matches the alias account #. There is no way anyone can impersonate him (because he owns the alias). There is no way for Anon to change his company name (aliases cannot be renamed). This means that once this tag is placed into the asset description, this information cannot be faked or changed - providing a reliable way for customers to identify the seller. Obviously, customers should do their research if someone who owns the Microsoft alias claims they are selling Microsoft shares (easily verifiable by going to the microsoft website to see if they have any dealings with NXT, and what their AE company name is. If not, it is most likely a scam). Over time, the user can build up a personal database of "trusted" sellers, so risk of being scammed is minimal.

Great idea chanc3r

the solution is: "There is a little emule in everyone of us."

Awesome quote, btw!

PS: I'll leave the coins for Emule, I think he earned them - everybody behave
