sorry guys it may be something as simple as a mad rush overload - just a bit ago I made a post on another fairly large forum that I frequent about NXT.  It may be lots of folks hitting nextcoin from there.

Though unless dgex and nextcoin are ont he same system, it wouldnt explain it.

I guess if we see a mad rush in volume in the next 2 days you'll know who to thank

I have a problem with the newest versions (17 and 18) where I will catch up to the latest blocks... then that's it. It won't get any new blocks generated after that (stuck on catching up..)

No difference if I am logged in or out. I have replaced my NXT files with the newest files included with version 18. I also tried deleting all of my NXT files, but all that caused was for me to be stuck on the genesis block with no peers.

I have same issue since last evening, with 0.3.17 and 0.3.18.
One more attack on network?

Finally managed to have the hallmark done and decoded correctly, after manually encoding all special characters.

Yes, you have to url-encode at least # and &, that I can think of. You can't even fix it on the server side because in the case of # I don't think the string after the hash gets submitted to the server at all. So, people with special characters in the password will have to encode them manually, see e.g. table here:
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_urlencode.asp
Or do a simple javascript page that does the encoding in javascript on the client. Obviously, don't submit your passwords to any online services that offer url-encoding.

Come-from-beyond did mention that non-hallmarked clients may not be able to connect if the network is under attack, so that is very possible.

- hmmm..  have no problem with 0.3.18.  Current block is 13900, id=1438896222878112845, 301 active peers.

I have this bug to report. It's a second or third time I've seen it and I think it's easily reproduceable. This is on Debian Linux. Not sure if this is OS specific, but trying to give all details here. It may even be a known issue, not sure.

I have started NXT 0.3.18 and it began to download the blockchain. Then I tried to terminate it with CTRL+C BEFORE it fully downloaded, but it didn't want to exit, so I issued a kill -9 PID. Then I started the software again, but it turns out the blocks.nxt got corrupted, because the browser began to spit the java.nullpointer exception message. Had to stop the server, replace blocks.nxt with the blocks.nxt.bak file, and then start it again, and then it was alright.

So, why is it, that before the full block chain is downloaded and you stop the server, the server doesn't want to exit, and kill -9 PID corrupts the blocks.nxt file. There has to be a way to exit the server without corrupting the block chain even though the block chain isn't fully downloaded. Or did I have to wait longer for the server to exit after CTRL+C?

Thx for the report. I'll add a code that checks if CTRL+C was pressed during blockchain downloading.


Those who don't see blocks, please, check if ur blocks.nxt file is growing.

Now time for bad news.

BCNext is becoming more and more angry coz of stakeholders who don't help Nxt. They don't run their nodes, they don't support bounties, they don't take part in Nxt promotion. He can't force them to do all these things but he can quit this project and join other cryptocoin, no matter if it's called ClonedNxt, and contribute his ideas and code to a competitor of Nxt...


My personal opinion: This guy doesn't care about money nor how much 1 NXT will be worth, I'm 100% sure he will do what he said. I think that Nxt clone will have the same problems and decision to quit Nxt would be one of the worst decisions, but he has his own opinion.
Edit: If stakeholders don't change situation they should sell their coins before price drops below ZERO.
