NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information

[Come-from-Beyond]

Should we be worried? What is the 'normal' or desirable range of the base target value?

No. This branch will be abandoned after a node sees legit chain.

Max base target is 1'000'000'000-fold of the initial base target. At this max target 1 NXT will mine 1 block per minute. That guy stuck coz Nxt forging algo has other additional protection tricks.

No. This branch will be abandoned after a node sees legit chain.

Oh, so it's an issue with an individual node only?

What does the deadline parameter mean? Why is it necessary?

It sets when a transaction expires if not confirmed.

It sets when a transaction expires if not confirmed.

So we should set it to something like 100 just to be sure?

Can URI be changed and/or assigned at a later time? Also, please explain deadline and give us the format we need to input.

Yes.

Deadline is used in the following manner:

1. U send a transaction with 1 NXT fee and deadline 5 min.
2. If ur transaction is not confirmed coz fee is too low, then in 6 minutes u send it again with higher fee

To assign an alias in webbrowser u must do:
http://localhost:7874/nxt?requestType=assignAlias&secretPhrase=123&alias=Google&uri=http://google.com&fee=1&deadline=60

0.4.0 running ok on 2 nodes.

[Come-from-Beyond]

It sets when a transaction expires if not confirmed.

So we should set it to something like 100 just to be sure?

No. I expect we see competition for aliases like Apple, Bitcoin, etc. so u'd better set higher fee leaving deadline = 5 to be able to set even higher fee if ur transaction is not confirmed in 5 minutes.
