NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information

[gbeirn]

Is Nxt required to hallmark a node?

Hallmark weight depends on amount of NXT on signing account.

The account must be unlocked for the hallmark to take effect, correct?

No once you generate the hallmark and put it in web.xml, that's it. No need to ever do anything with that account again. Except let the NXT sit there of course.

Is it normal for DGEX to take 2 days or more for transfer..?

Possibly. They may be taking extra precautions with the attacks going on and what not. It is always safe to wait for 1440 confirmation (1 whole day) just to make sure you aren't on a fork.

Edit: Plus I think it is a one man operation and everything is verified manually. So yes, it could take that long. Better safe than sorry right?

Well, it has been marked as "completed" for quite some time, and the TX I did about two hours before that came through almost 36 hours ago.

I like that.  Why can't forging work that way?  Why must the forging account be left unlocked?

You could shoot them an e-mail. In the earlier days (ha! two weeks ago) I had a problem and they corrected when brought to their attention. I did get an email from them that due to the popularity they are about a day behind on support request tickets tho....

Cos locked account's owner easily could be offline. And forging = keeping network up and safe (no succeeded forks of blockchain).

Correct, you get a reward (forging a block and getting the transaction fees) for helping secure the network. Same principle as any other crypto, just going about it a different way.

Because of cryptography (as i understand it). To forge a block you must sing it with your private key while hallmark contains only public key.

NXT----obviously， it's a great idea! but it's too hard to use, we cann't spend whole time to keep eye on the screen to check if the block stucked or not. if no one could solve this ploblem, i dare to say: NXT will disappear soon. the good idea must supported by easy way to use ,but NXT.....

The sourcecode will be released on the 3rd of january. We are in alpha (or beta, or whatever you call it) till then.

im trying another vps proider, they didnt have debian7 but did have debian6, i couldnt install 1.7 jre but did find a 1.6 jre to install.  I tried to start and got this:

Yes, very very early software. It's going to get much much better! As big or bigger than Bitcoin I personally think.

Why not let the account forge as long as the associated hallmark is online?  That way the account wouldn't have to be left unlocked.

Are you using 0.4.4?  It's much more reliable than 0.4.2.

You need 1.7 that why it says Unsupported major.minor version 51.0

yes I see... it seems unlikely that theres just not a package for jre1.7 for debian6... is that really the case?
