How safe is it to transfer NXT with the current attacks?

not safe. pretty sure I got ripped off.

What is the problem?

idk I bought and withdrew nxt over 24 hours ago but haven't received them. dgex said the first withdraw was completed, and doesn't say the status for the other. the client says I have 0 transactions, but theres all these unconfirmed transactions for accounts that aren't mine. I also tried going to the coinarea faucet and they said they sent me 1 coin which I haven't got either. im positive I used the right address#, they match up on dgex and in my client. it could just be that im a noob though. It took me a long time to get everything installed, and I was told to go to   https://localhost:7875/ because its more secure but I can only get on http://localhost:7874/

Could you please provide your Nxt wallet address? (the number next to the lock)

Does anyone think there would be a problem with scheduling a cron job to restart the Java app every so many hours? Or what is the safest way to restart the process without risking corruption of the blockchain?

so it is normal for me to have to run the java file every time I get back on the client?

There should be 661 Nxt on this account, but hte amount in the blockchain explorer is 0, which I really can´t understand. Anyone with an idea?

[S3MKi]

Tell me please why the block number in the client and in blockchain is different?

Explorer is out of date? I can see the balance:

https://0.0.0.0:7875/nxt?requestType=getBalance&account=3662269097817803698

Code:

{"balance":66100,"effectiveBalance":0,"unconfirmedBalance":66100}

Great to see, that the stakeholders are willing to pay for the distribution!

just delete blocks.nxt and transaction.nxt and let it redownload

coinmarketcap.com removed nxt again.

Any one else having problems opening nxtcoin.org? I cant excess it since yesterday evening
But I just got a mail that some one replied to my "latest news" thread so I guess some people are able to reach the forum.

NXT was initially brought into circulation by 71 stakeholders who donated a total of 21 Bitcoins in exchange for a stake in the NXT genesis block which generated one billion NXT. In other words, all the NXT has already been mined

No thanks... another scamcoin?
so much for peer to peer!  even frc is more democratic

So just because you did NOT trust your 1 BTC to support an idea that was presented publicly and would be open to the first 250 that would show interest it is a scam?   

Maybe it is not a scam, but it is problematic. Because the success of something potentially beautiful is dependent upon stakeholders who are in a prisoners dilemma (Game theory).

Nxt currency distribution: NXT WAS NOT PRE-MINED, there is no such thing as mining in nxt. The initial nxt distribution process was completely fair and VERY PUBLIC! The public was advised to send bitcoin to the genesis address in exchange for NXT. Only about 71 people did so on time. These people paid fair and square to be in the position there are in. You could have been one too, but you were probably on another thread. ( If anyone has a better idea lets hear it). They were rewarded as the main starting founders and all NXT were distributed amongst them. It is now their prerogative and in their best interest to redistribute the funds as nxt is not as valuable if not accessible to the market. (And I was not one of the 71 by the way…why does it make sense to me and not you, please stop trolling) Please see all give away attempts  :

You say the distribution was fair en transparent. Yes it was transparent. But fair? Maybe fair in the sense that the initial stakeholders really got their share of the 1 billion NXT. One should have been thinking of a fair method. Being transparent about the method doesn't make it a fair or good method. But as i understand from the reaction of CfB (see below)the creation of all coins at once is a necessity of a 100% PoS system.

Actually there is only 1 way to create a secure 100% PoS coin - issue all coins at once. If u subsidize block forging (like 25 BTC in Bitcoin now) then u make ur coin vulnerable to different types of attacks. The only way to fix this is to add proof-of-work which doesn't make sense in 100% PoS coin. Mathematical proof is very sophisticated and wasn't peer reviewed, so this statement may be wrong. U still could mention that if not all coins r premined then the currency may be vulnerable to attacks.

I am enthusiastic about NXT. But the initial distribution of the 1 billion NXT is problematic. We are not talking about a private company with 71 owners, but about a cryptocurrency for the benefit of mankind. Technology that will defeat exploitative systems like fiat currencies based on fractional reserve banking. These technological developments should lead to better forms of money in which income inequality through exploitation should become smaller not wider. I can't see how the chosen method for the distribution of the necessary 1 billion NXT is fair from this point of view. But i must admit that i do not have an alternative at the moment. Will be thinking about it. Were there any other alternatives considered?

Does anyone know, why NXT is kicked out of coinmarketcap.com all the time?

Good to see this kind of support for nxt!

Why does refreshing the browser lock my account?

Why do you refresh? There is no need to.

Well, the same thing happens if I close the browser and re-open.  The account is then locked.  Since forging requires the account to be unlocked, I'm trying to figure out how to keep it unlocked.  If I close my browser and I don't re-open it, will my account remain unlocked?

Second this. Is there any way to check of forging w/o looking at browser page?

go here http://87.230.14.1/nxt/nxt.cgi?action=1
and put your account address into the top-right box
you'll see your account balance and blocks forged

To help with more nodes, please send a donation to 11243542237777034551. 3000 nxt will sponsor 1 node for 3 months. I will leave the donated nxt in my account for 3 months for transparency purposes.

Sent 1500 from my account and withdrew 1500 from Dgex to 11243542237777034551, so it'll take a while for the second payment to come.

coinmarketcap.com removed nxt again.

I think being on coinmarketcap.com is good for the promotion of NXT. But i do not understand the reaction like: we are number 4 or number 5 and soon we will beat peercoin or litecoin. The marketcapitalisation is not a good indicator for the usefulness of a coin or acceptance by the general public.

If 71 stakeholders sit on 900 million inactive NXT. The price of the coin will be determined by demand and supply of a small part of the cointotal. This leads to unrealistic (high) prices for NXT and  marketcapitalisation. The indicator would be more realistic if the distribution of the 1 billion would be 100%.
