NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information

[ImmortAlex]

Looks like my server installation f*cked up completely, so I remove all *.nxt, rerun it, and everything is working now.
Sorry to all network for this hard reset

sha256 sum?

Hm, the version is 0.2.14 actually. Looks like BCNext decided not to use number "13".

Who owns all the Nxt right now, the developers? Is it essentially pre-mined? Since the developers are just handing out Nxt until sufficient people have it to start "mining?"

It might've hung but I'm not sure... no other outputs but the program is still running.

This version SPAMs stdout (or stderr) with tons of log messages

Updated *.nxt files - https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/67242472/nxtfiles.zip

Why does the base target jump around so much?

The last 5 blocks show...

315%
631%
823%
897%
1099%

At the same time my time till I can generate next block jumps around like nuts.

Still have exactly 0 coins... anyone feeling generous? 2504063163583058091

How does this work if everyone hoards coins?

Send me a PM with your NXT address and I'll give you some coins.
I'm off to a meeting now but when I get back.

Blocks r supposed to be generated each 60 seconds. If previous block poped up in 61+ seconds then target becomes bigger, if in 59- seconds then smaller. Max variation in target adjustement is +/- 2x.

I have seen myself 3s from generating a block, then suddenly it changes to 15 hours.  Does it automatically, completely reset my counter each time?

Other than not having the source code, what is to stop me from making a modified client that constantly attempts to generate blocks every second?

Version 0.2.13 - https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/67242472/Nxt.zip

Minor changes related to *.nxt files corruption.

Updated my client.

First, how does a client get blacklisted? For some reason mine blacklisted http://88.198.210.245:7875/ which was the server everyone was using.

Who owns all the Nxt right now, the developers? Is it essentially pre-mined? Since the developers are just handing out Nxt until sufficient people have it to start "mining?"

Yeah, I think the allocation of NXT needs some spreading.  Developers should send some random 1M NXT chunks out to random addresses in the network.

It resets the timer after each block.

Block generation is deterministic. All attempts to find a block give exactly the same result until a new block generated.

May I have some coins also?  9369847254484452107

For those that want an alternate server, I've set one up at nxt.c4c.io

How do I clear the blacklist?

Edit:
I extracted the zip and replaced the peers.nxt file, that seemed to solve it.
