I assume who ever generates blocks 22000, 220001 and so on for the first while is going to be making some serious transaction coins
I expect that zombies that r currently ddosing the network will become more active soon...

Once a transaction has 6 confirmations, it is extremely unlikely that an attacker without at least 50% of the network's computation power would be able to reverse it.

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... Nxt Phishing Trip?I think Alias is great for personal use (by owner of alias only), but not for third party use. How would you trust using nxt:ru since owner of alias could divert it to a phishing site after giving it time to gain popularity? Or is there built-in features to prevent such abuse?

Maybe the same as conventional DNS?

CfB probably means that NXT system would act just as DNS service here, if the website owner decides to do something malicious, can't do much about it, just like now the conventional DNS can't control website owners' actions.

Maybe I didn't get what attack u had meant. There is no difference between aliases pointing to websites and good old DNS (except decentralized nature of AS).

if at block 22000 100 people register their alias, 80 different and 20 people will ask for "sex", will it look like:
22001 - 80 people will get their different aliases - 1 lucky guy gets "sex"?

I don't mean the website owner doing a phishing attack. I mean third parties. When users type in http://gmail.com, conventional dns directs them to google's server. If someone owns alias "gmail" and assigns it to http://gmail.com, users who type in Nxt:gmail lands up in google's server. So far so good. One day. he decides to change assignment of gmail to a gmail look-alike site to steal passwords. Of course careful users will notice changes in url, etc, but most users would just continue to use it normally. Isn't that how phishing links in emails work?

Could someone explain what the "fee" and the "deadline" are for?
Does the guy with the highest fee for a certain Alias get it?

That's valid point. We should emphasize such possibility each time we tell how cool Alias System is.

Any way for users to know google alias is owned by Google instead of a random guy? Otherwise, people would not dare to use Nxt:google Edit: and hence Google would not pay 15.000.000 USD for it

Yes. But browsers must support this feature.
