NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information

Which is true for both sides, as Snowden has shown us.

Offtopic: If I issued Nxt banknotes I would put Snowden on them...

cant we create a physical NXT coin with his face on it .

isn't it nessesary to adding some prefix standard to prevent content validating by parsing?
this number could be an account/transaction/block or even an phone/zip number or encoded gps location.
how could a jumpcenter find out what entity is behind this content without a declaration prefix?
entity parsing and validating doesn't work reliable this way or do i miss something here?

any takers here?

Is it about URIs?

alias is much more powerfull then just an uri/account/mails/phonenumbers shortener or stuff like this.
aliases could be also used as an mighty automation entity, e.g. to launch complete phonecalls,
sending a fax with an order confirmation, printing and sending invoices for goods bought
online, trigger db-events or even directing to gps location on interactive maps, if...we add 
additional identifier fields to aliases. similar to http content-type. a content-type field could
be used for this. even if many of these examples could be done with other tools, why not
giving alias these functionality also if desired by developers.

We can, but how to forge blocks then?

It's already implemented. Aliases point to URIs like this -> "tel:+12024561111". If u put it inside <A href> u can make a phone call via browser.

Edit: All that we need is to improve URI standard.

What's the latest with big stakeholders selling off some of their Nxt?  Has it been happening at all lately?  I hope so.

would it be usefull to add an additional content-type field, which can be customized by alt-client developers
for api-servcices to other devices we haven't in mind now?
i bet in a few month we will have plenty dev's here asking to enhance the current uri-sheme.
a content-type field would work as an very usefull wildcard for these services.
every dev could add/cutomize his individual service with this.

What is "the Hive" feature

[Come-from-Beyond]

would it be usefull to add an additional content-type field, which can be customized by alt-client developers
for api-servcices to other devices we haven't in mind now?

It's supported already via custom URIs. For example:

thehive:action=joinNetwork&netId=42

Regarding the use of Raspberry Pi for forging/helping out the network, i had problems running the client in Model B as is, mostly running out of memory.
However, if you mount the nxt directory in a separate usb stick and add extra swap memory by utilizing another usb stick, performance is seriously enhanced.
The faster the usb stick, especially the one used as swap, the better the performance.
Glad to give details if anyone interested.

Can you post it into this tread....many would be having questions also which you could answer.

Thks.

What's the latest with big stakeholders selling off some of their Nxt?  Has it been happening at all lately?  I hope so.

It seems from dgex that the price is going down a little cos people are trying to sell some off, which is good really as people can now get a piece of the action for a bit cheaper, before the inevitable price increase on source release. Just checked the top accounts on the nxt blockchain and 27 holders own 10+ mil..will check in the near future if this has changed.

What I would also suggest is looking how many accounts are sending to the address 6635869272840226493. Since I believe this is the DGEX account.

I (and other) wanna see site with realtime distribution of NXT through growing network. I'd be ni-i-ice and such data can be used for some serious economic's analysis work later (advice   ).

great! this way (get) is fine too. so alt-client devs just providing/adding the desired uri-scheme, in this case thehive:
during alias creation and later then for the appropiate action triggering within the client, even if the target application
is outside e.g. a browser scope correct?

I would LOVE that!  Or even just some statistics.

Some statistics we can see at http://87.230.14.1/nxt/nxt.cgi?action=1. And I'm willing to see the whole picture altogether in dynamics (ofc, provided by someone else ).

Guys guys, slow down - are you sure about the legality of owning these aliases just like that?

Surely you don't 'own' anything, you merely know a sequence of characters which allows you to sign a json request which, if broadcast in a certain way, causes clients on a network of hosts to accept that you now want alias X to point to uri Y.

Completely different from owning!

Interesting to see what sort of marketplaces will exist for this though, and how they might operate.

[canuck]

Long tread here. I am looking for a coin with a definable unit and an elastic supply does that exist yet?

You may want to look into an alt' coin that has a long history behind it, issued some time ago.  Its called the dollar.  It's had some major problems though but if you manage to get in touch with the dev' team at the Fed', you may be able to work with them to turn it into a major success.

Best of luck man!

so it seems to me that "the Hive" is to be kept TOP SECRET till the appropriate time.
