NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information

[BitcoinForumator]

After about 10 minutes after going through the Alias process, i see no deduction of 1NXT in my account. What does this mean? That it wasn't registered, that someone put a higher bid, that it's already taken?

(btw i got the "Server response: transaction - number" message fine)

You need to wait for block 22000 to assign Alias.

Ah, ok. Can we register multiple aliases to a single account or in case we want different aliases should we do it on different accounts?

http://nxt.ru - Russian e-mail service. Anyone wanna get myname@nxt.ru? In 3 months its owners will be curious why their service is becoming so popular...

Could you maybe write a short explanation, just what it is and what it can be used for? So I have somthing to link people to?

Alias System is like decentralized DNS but, unlike DNS, Alias System can link names to any URI - website, phone number, email, bitcoin address, location, anything. Alias System is included into version 0.4.0 and will be activated at block 22000. Nodes that don't upgrade to 0.4.0 won't be able to validate blocks containing AS-transactions.

To assign an alias someone should open https://localhost:7875/alias.html, fill the fields and hit OK.

Aliases may contain only digits and case-insensitive latin letters. Currently it's impossible to transfer aliases to other accounts, but owner of the account can reassign an alias to any URI at any time. Alias is considered tied to an account after the 1st confirmation of the AS-transaction. NRS picks transactions with higher fees in the 1st place (actually fee/size ratio is used).

The most valuable aliases (like "nxt", "sex" and "batman") r waiting for that lucky guy/gal who will become a billionaire after squatting and reselling them...

Cool, thank you!

I just tried the http://localhost:7874/nxt?requestType=getAliasURI&alias=Google URL but all I get is an error reply.
Do I need a version different than 0.3.20 to use the alias feature?

i think you made this coin come-from-beyond but used a dummy account because of that orange colored ignore button under your avatar.

Is there any chance there will be an Alias input field in the client in the future or is a browser plugin always going to be required?

Alias input field in the client is easy. Nexern is already on it. To make the alias sytem popular it has to be a accessible from popular browsers for non-Nxt users. Plug-in would be the first step. When Nxt gains traction. Chrome, Firefox etc could consider having the plug-in built-in their browsers. I hope with the the right push, that day will come.

is it OK to submit for an alias with just the long format of http://localhost:6874/nxt?requestType=assignAlias&secretPhrase=123&alias=Google&uri=http://google.com&fee=1&deadline=1440  but just leave the &uri= null?

in the testnxt system, i put in an alias request like this and gave it 3 mins for deadine, and no one built a block for me.

my last block in the testnxt is 161, is this up to date?

[salsacz]

So can I on Sunday create alias: Salsa with link: nxtcoin.blogspot.com and then on Friday can I change it like: alias: Salsa, link: 15003961341330858247 ?

ok got it on the uri thing.

but what about the testnxt system seems to be stuck on block 161 thats a few hours old.  and no one seems to be processing my alias orders.  i even put in fee of 100 hey this is all only testNXT!

You need to be on Nxt client 0.4.0. Alias registration will not happen until block 22000. That's what I picked up.

I'm making coin in my signature. And it's completely different.

Maybe noone is forging on the testnet? U can use empty string as URI, null will become "null".

[Come-from-Beyond]

IE: ...download crap....                                                        <- Have not seen this before?
CHROME: {"errorCode":1,"errorDescription":"Incorrect request"}   <-This is correct result

IE can't correctly interpret "application/json" content type. This is already fixed in 0.4.0 by returning "text/plain; charset=UTF-8".

well.. im forging on the testnxt.  at least i thought i should be as I do have some next.  very few peers though, only 2 active, 0 known, and 1 blocklisted.  so shouldnt I generate most blocks if there are any to be created, since there are so few peers?  Also Im not getting the "you can generate the next block..." indicator.

[Come-from-Beyond]

When we hit block 22000 and process our Alias assignments should we be worried for security issues due to our passphrase being used? Do we need to use https://localhost:7875/alias.html or is sending the request directly as safe?

thnx   

U should use only localhost.

U triggered protection system and now u can't generate block, someone else must forge next block.

- me too. Think it is because we need to wait 1440 confirmations.

Man, you guys are knocking this thing out of the park. New features every minute. I for one am excited about the future this holds, and have doubled my stake to almost 200k even at .00014 Nxt is a bargain.

Tomorrows Alias Auction Extravaganza is going to be exciting!

I assume who ever generates blocks 22000, 220001 and so on for the first while is going to be making some serious transaction coins
