NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information

[omo]

it seems that the well-known hosts are not in accordance with each other.

[opticalcarrier]

Finally, I got the longest chain!

Method:

1) Download the nxtfile https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/67242472/nxtfiles.zip
2) unzip nxt.zip to a new directory
3) unzip nxtfiles to the new nxt directory
4) java -jar start.jar

What's your block now?

seems that I'm not the longest
I'm at 22550

I'm stuck at 22665

im at 22603, but im not stuck, my chain is still building.  still more forks i  guess.  blockexploer seems stuck at 22526

[OKNXT]

so many branches.

[opticalcarrier]

i was having all kinds of issues till i hallmarked my node, and just picked a node with a dns name as a single wellknown host.  then used a nearly 24hr old blockchainfiles backup, my client then caught up all recent blocks and am on 22588 now.  maybe a coincidence though

How to "just picked a node with a dns name as a single wellknown host"?

look in active peers, find a named entry (not an ip address) and put that in the xml file as the only wellknown host

Some hours ago I've sent some Nxt to DGEX. They are confirmed 10+ times but have not arrived at DGEX account.

Now, on DGEX website says:

PLEASE TRADE CAREFULLY:
NXT network is under DDOS attack (DEC 22 11PM GMT)
THIS MEANS NO NEW NXT IS COMING IN
TO DGEX SYSTEM BEFORE FURTHER ADVICE
YOU CAN NOW CANCEL YOUR PENDING DEPOSITS FROM THE VIEW PENDING ORDERS PAGE

But if I cancel the pending deposit, will them send the Nxt back? Or should I wait until the current problems with DDos are solved?
(I have read the last pages of the thread but haven't found any mention of this problem)

i have been flipping between 0.4.0 and 0.4.2 and while 0.4.0 was working, it is now stuck at 22663

Coin based on Java... I can't believe my eyes, coin developed with most insecure and inefficient bloated language full with frameworks for lazy/incapable devs. This thing does not sound right and will have serious problems.

Java itself is not insecure today. And efficiency is not a big problem for PoS currency, good enough for quick start. Things can be much worse if devs used PHP or Perl
Anyway, I hope we'll get better client in Jan/Feb next year.

Btw, did you know that there are a lot of hi-load financial software written in Java?

This is caused by unlocked account on non-synchronized blockchain.
I personally stop my attempts to create transactions until end of DDoS (or what it is anyway). My server almost always stuck on some block (22525 right now). I'm behind NAT, so can't even hallmark my node.

Do we need a VPS to run Nxt?  I could get one.

I am still trying to figure out how the client works exactly. First, it was updating blocks in my client screen, but then it stopped after the ddos attack today. Also, my countdown ticker for my next generate block went offline.

How does that ticker work exactly?  It jumps all around for me (when I was able to see it).  It would go from 38 minutes to 8 hours to 1 day back to 25 minutes.

Does it actually count down to a generated block eventually?

As you can tell, I am still very confused as to how the block generation works. I have quite a large amount of Nxt, so I thought I would be able to generate quicker. But perhaps its more complicated than I realized.

I have the same question. My guess is that they will not send it back automatically, since DGEX is a manual exchange.

SAME PROBLEM AND ME

How do you fix this?

Generated an incorrect block. Waiting for the next one

It's normal, I think.  It just means you tried to solve a block, but failed.

CfB, please confirm.

Yes

Some time ago Nextcoin.org came back online. There is a statement from DGEX owner Graviton:

You can send, but it won't confirm until around Monday noon if we have a new client released by then and the network troubles gone

Seems the only thing we can do is wait.

P.S.: I am stuck at block 22530, having downloaded the latest "nxtfiles.zip".

I mean, your account is unlocked and tries to forge but failed, and main reason for today is that you stuck on non-last block. I constantly get such message when unlock my account.

Could anyone publish blocks.nxt and transactions.nxt with a chain that has 22600+ blocks?

[ImmortAlex]

Isn't it the job of decentalized network itself?

No. Decentralized network is supposed to search for longest chain, which is actually not longest but the one with highest cumulative difficulty.

I'm on 22665. Will upload in a while
