NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information

[Ola]

Come-from-Beyond, we all know BCNext is you... come on

It's obvious that I'm a suspect #1.

Nice reverse psychology satoshi

Announcement:
We are moving further on our way to decentralization. Soon I'll stop updating well-known peers in web.xml.
U (community) should cooperate and decide how u will share well-known peers addresses.
I'll make it a bit more convenient to edit the list. This will be a text file next to start.jar.

Im keeping a pretty close eye on keeping the NXT Foundation's nodes up to snuff:
vps1.nxtcrypto.org
vps2.nxtcrypto.org
vps3.nxtcrypto.org
vps4.nxtcrypto.org
vps5.nxtcrypto.org

if anyone else wants in on DNS let me know. and you can starting using vps.nxtcrypto.org domain in your web.xml in place of ip address, and also in your hallmarks.  this may make it easier for you to find your nodes in peerlists.

Use the following format:  usernameXX.extvps.nxtcrypto.org where XX is a 2 digit number 01 - 99 and PM me the IP address for each node's IP and its name and Ill add DNS in my nameservers.  Youll need to tell your VPS provider what your new name is though, and reconf stuff inside your VPS.  this reconf is fairly difficult, so id only advise doing this for new VPSs.

Liz,

Hi there, merry christmas, my apologies for the odd hour of this email but let me assure you, it is very necessary and possibly rewarding. I am ola, I am working with several members of the "NXT" crypto currency community to bootstrap a new decentralized, built from the bottom up protocol, for decentralized digital currency and other decentralized utilities.  The Nxt community needs the help of your raspberrypi community badly.

The members of the Nxt crypto currency community have put together a Fund to award to any individual or organization that can help us increase the strength of our network. We believe that your community has to tools to help us achieve this. As a result we are prepared to donate a large amount of the funds to your organization in exchange for exposure to your community on your forums.

We are currently in the alpha stage, testing the decentralized network and we are getting ddosed constantly...This problem will go away if we had several thousand Nxt nodes set up on several computers. Members of your community are adept at using raspberry pies and are always looking for new ways to use these devices. Your community armed with rasberrypi devices can help us accomplish just that . Please feel free to respond at any time and let me know what you think about this synergetic proposal. Thank you.

Man, you really need to get more serious about security.  If you are reckless then you (and everyone else) will be sorry.

SHA256 for this distro is an overkill. Ur behavior makes me to suspect that BCNext is u.

I think you'd be wise to listen to BCNext.   The contents of a release have no impact on the effectiveness of a backdoor.

Security is a process, you must exercise good habbits.

I'm using last version 0.4.7e and got this:

Recent blocks [-456]
Orphaned blocks [710]

Last block:

      24419      2382970272294477859      25/12/2013 19:42:57   
3      0 + 3      417 B   
1      11754117828916423045      321 %

Looks legit. Press F5.

Thanks. It is working again.

[msin]

is everyone else seeing that they have to closely watch their public hallmarked nodes to check if they get stuck on a block?

Yes, I'm not sure if I'm getting attacked or if its just a client issue, but I'm having to reset frequently.

[rickyjames]

That's great! Where could I buy a few thousands of these raspberries? For NXT or USD (not sure how long USD will be accepted so I prefer to get rid of dollars in the 1st place).

The best place to buy a Raspberry Pi with worldwide outreach:

..altho there are many others (Amazon, EBay, etc).  

Liz Upton of the Raspberry Pi Foundation is in direct contact with the Sony factory in the UK that turns out 40K units per week.

Something to use as a springboard document:

Now I got it, thx. I'll provide SHA256 next time (remind me if I forget).

congratz to all off you last houres no problems running smooth and stable.

Thx.

A thought has crossed my mind... Could "The Hive" feature, developed by nexern, be deployed to those raspberries...

[jl777]

I keep restarting client, it's fine at first, but then as soon as a non 4.7e peer, a bunch of valid looking blocks become orphans and I am stuck on block 24167

Do I need to somehow blacklist the 4.4 nodes?

Also, is block chain info website up to data?

After each problem we become stronger and stronger. What will we see tomorrow...

+1 Keep up the good work.

[notsoshifty]

For security, what is the sha256sum?

Second vote for checksums on hosted files, especially where those of us with VPS might use wget/curl from another person's dropbox. Wouldn't be tough to squeeze in some code to steal all our coins (although of course you could do that too!).

Edit: I see you've now said you'll do it, thanks

[rickyjames]

rickyjames do you want to post your findings on there?

Sure, I'll post some thoughts over there.  I was a member at the raspberrypi.org forum from day one.  And I always have something to say.
