NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information

[BitAddict]

I think for the whole system to work, there has to be a tax against money not put into circulation. Cfb , is it possible to design such a scheme?

Not after Mixing is implemented.

You won't get any results with this. You can just move your funds to another account you own.

I think the right direction is lowering fees nearly 0, so if someone wants to hoard is ok, but he won't see his stack grow significally.

In my opinion protecting the network is enough reward for all of us holding NxT, no need of extra fees.

From my IT guy:

DDoS Deflate is a  bash shell script which purpose is blocking a denial of service attack.

the following installation guide is about cent os .

How to install

1. Login to Cent OS as root
2. run terminal
3. run the following commands
a. "wget http://www.inetbase.com/scripts/ddos/install.sh"
b. "chmod 0700 install.sh"
c. "./install.sh"


Configure

After installing the script the following directories and files
will be created

program directory =/usr/local/ddos
program =/usr/local/ddos/ddos.sh
ignore_ip_list=/usr/local/ddos/ignore.ip.list
cron (scheduller) =/etc/cron.d/ddos.cron
apf ( advanced policy firewall) =/etc/apf/apf
ipt (iptables) =/sbin/iptables

edit configuration file

run the following command on terminal
cd /usr/local/ddos
vi ddos.conf
( to edit the file with vi editor just type "i" , when finished  press escape then ":" "w" "q" and enter )

Configuration file settings

Freq= ( how often the script is executed in minutes )
Ddos - cron ( cron sceduller update )
No_of_connections ( number of connections received before an IP is blocked )
Apf_ban ( 1 means that it will use apf , 0 it will use iptables )
Ban_period ( time in seconds to block an IP )
Email_to ( address to send an email when an IP is blocked )
Kill ( when value is 0 no IP is banned )


In case you get blank IP edit the main script ddos.sh and replace

"netstat -ntu | awk ‘{print $5}’ | cut -d: -f1 | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr > $BAD_IP_LIST"

with this one

"netstat -ntu | grep ‘:’ | awk ‘{print $5}’ | sed ‘s/::ffff://’ | cut -f1 -d ‘:’ | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr > $BAD_IP_LIST"
( be sure to keep the command in a single line )


Uninstall  DDos Deflate

1. Login to Cent OS as root
2. run terminal
3. run the following commands
a. "wget http://www.inetbase.com/scripts/ddos/uninstall.sh"
b. "chmod 0700 uninstall.sh"
c. "./uninstall.sh"

can you verify with your IT guy how that DDOS prevention works?  Cause Im not certain yet if that will help us, as I thought the DDOS we were seeing was a specialized protocol that worked well above OSI layers 4/5.  I thought the DDOS attacks we were seeing were well into the cient protocol operation.  IF that is the case then Im not sure this DDOS thing you have will help.

Can an expert who has analyzed the DDoS attacks comment here?  Please let us know what your IT guy says.  If this is viable then we all really need to go figure out how to make this work on our particular distros on our VPSs

Does anyone know if we're still set to gain additional features at block 30,000?

Yes I would like to know this as well. If if does, I can deploy it on my VPSs

[ferment]

just added a way to get information on an alias:

http://22k.io/ALIAS/info

For example: http://22k.io/acct22k/info

Once I get all the aliases and accounts indexed, I'll be able to show what account owns an alias. From there, if the same account registers an alias containing contact info using a standardized tag, theoretically it could work like whois.

I have an idea which would help distribute some of your Nxt and also help Nxt develop for the long term.


We will start a contest where the 10 best ideas for a client feature or application which would help Nxt grow over the next 5 years.

We would be open to entries from all Nxters and the community will vote for the best 10 ideas which would get funding.

The development fund would be managed by those currently in charge of the bounty program.

10 idea's each get 200,000 NXT to implement their feature or application to the Nxt ecosystem.


Total Development Fund Needed: Nxt 2,000,000


I can immediately start the thread where idea's can be deposited....Final voting can begin in a weeks time.


What do you guys think?


 

Make it happen!

Just a quick suggestion / reminder (https://nextcoin.org/index.php/topic,840.msg6875.html#msg6875) for marketing purposes:

Wouldn't it be useful and naturally understandable, if we would use the following wording pattern for Nxt:

- Nxt
- Nxt coins
- Nxt messaging
- Nxt ...

Colored coins are called "NXT colored coins". Is this a temporary name for it or why do we call it "NXT colored coins" but normal coins just "NXT"?

Assets in the Nxt Asset Exchange are called Asset or Tokens....or whatever its still evolving as we speak

That weird format:  https:\/\/vircurex.com\/welcome\/index?referral_id=667-22323 is OK - there's no error here. This is JSON format.

I tried nxt:vircurex in firefox and it works as it should, what output do you get?

It will not forward me to the URL. It just stays at nxt:vircurex and the webpage opens up all messed up.

If your add-on is working, then it is ALL GOOD!!!     ...I wanted to give you a heads up just in case...

The web page opens up though? And it's not an issue with your webpage? How is it supposed to look like?

Just visit the referral link I quoted and see if they are different on your end too.

Please try http://nxtra.org/alias/NxtAliasSystem.xpi - you may want to remove the old extension first. Let me know if this fixes it.

Cfb,
when connect to a publicly accessible node

node.ip:7875/nxt?requestType=getState

doesn't work - I get

{"errorCode":7,"errorDescription":"Not allowed"}

even if i log in with a passphrase..

Is this by design or am I doing something wrong?

This is by design. allowedBotHosts is not set to *.

Hey CfB

 how about some thoughts on blocks not forging? I have 280k and have attempted to keep myself logged in for the last two weeks. there have been overnight crashes and freezes, but my countdown timer keeps ticking, but never gets to zero. I have forged two blocks in two weeks, when according to my calculations it should be every 4000 minutes, but it never happens.
 I'm showing a week since I earned a fee 7213693579568855752 my account is 15436509232181115695
 I understand it's not going to make me rich, but I wonder if there is something I can do to improve this

thanks

If u forge empty blocks u don't see them in ur transactions list.

[Come-from-Beyond]

can someone explain why my online wallet not syncing, its syncing to the latest block when i open it but when i leave it open for like 3h it is still at same block???

 can someone plz help me i have read several different guides but it is still not working

Does F5 help?

[Come-from-Beyond]

http://localhost:7874/nxt?requestType=getBalance&account=100000 and you only need to crack for the 1st 14 digits of a candidate shortform/visible account ID to be zeros.

But I think I may have been wrong on the keyspace part.  Is it 2^64 or is it 2^(256-64) I cant think right now.

Regardless of all that, can someone explain how the first 64bits of a 256bit long account# is translated into the "shortform" or visible ID we see as 20digits?  I cant figure out that math in my head either.  Is it some kind of weird BCD?

Keyspace is just 2^64, this is equal to 2^71 double-SHA256 operations. U could save some ticks by doing SHA256(Curve25519(ANY_256_BITS)) instead of SHA256(Curve25519(SHA256(SECRET_PHRASE))).

Short form is unsigned long of first 64 bits in little-endian form.

Code:

[2013-12-30 16:56:13.621] 15: java.lang.NullPointerException

Getting loads of these.... ideas for debugging?

Ur node is fed with incorrectly generated transactions. Is pullThreshold > 0? If yes, then one of the hallmarked nodes is controlled by an adversary. Switch logging on, later we can vote on destroying all the coins that marked this rogue node, MUAHAHAHAHAHA.

Edit: There is a chance that someone pushes incorrect transactions to ur node. NRS doesn't log such requests yet.
