NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information

[Anon136]

i really really really need someone to answer this question for me:

can anyone explain to me how it is determined who has the right to author the next block. i understand that the more nxt you have the higher your chance, but specifically how is the "winner" selected?

I know all of you guys who have 40k+ invested in this thing have to have figured out the answer to this question before you dropped that kind of cash.

It's very similar to Bitcoin. Who gets correct nonce wins the block.

I fear that a C++ competitor will come out in the future, would you guys like me to translate the code?

When is BCNext planning on implementing the decentralized mixing service?

In bitcoin a nonce is hashed with the previous block until one gets a digest that is below the target threashold. There is no POW in next so how are nonces used in this scheme? and where does the nonce come from? I really need as much detail as you can give me. I will even send a tip if i come out of this conversation understanding what i hoping to understand.

Now I got ur question and answered in https://nextcoin.org/index.php/topic,866.msg7100.html#msg7100

TL;DR: Nxt mining algo is based on ur invention.

Edit: I've seen the date of ur post, it had been posted 1 day before Nxt released. Did u write about ur invention somewhere else or earlier?

Other guy has answered on nextcoin.org about that.

Btw, BCNext extended the idea and proposed Transparent Mining to counteract 51% attack, Nxt is resistant to 90+% attacks.

Mac 10.6.8?   

OMG.  Upgrade your Mac instead of asking developers to support an operating system that is three major versions behind the current one.

Mavericks is FREE: http://www.apple.com/ca/osx/how-to-upgrade/

And if you don't want to run Mavericks, go to 10.7, for FREE: http://os-x-lion-1074.en.softonic.com/mac

Even my ancient, ANCIENT Mac Mini can run 10.7.  You have no excuse.

I didn't actually realize this. I didn't know I could upgrade my operating system without getting a new computer.

No that was the first time and I wrote about it the same day that i thought of it. But you say that I posted it 1 day before nxt right? that technically makes it my invention right?

Right. And technically this makes me to suspect that u r BCNext.

Edit: I'd like to hear ur opinion regarding https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=364218.0

Is 6874 the new API port?

[Come-from-Beyond]

{"errorCode":5,"errorDescription":"Unknown alias"}

Ur transaction wasn't confirmed or u use incorrect alias.

NO. This is for TEST network only.

{"errorCode":5,"errorDescription":"Unknown alias"}

Ur transaction wasn't confirmed or u use incorrect alias.

for "baidu":{"transaction":"16830272214888653693"}
And how I can know if it is confirmed or not?

This is for "jd". (http://localhost:6874/nxt?requestType=getTransaction&transaction=16830272214888653693)

"confirmations" tells if it's confirmed.
