[Jean-Luc]

Source will be made public around 12:00 UTC.

I will make sure the link is posted here and also at http://info.nxtcrypto.org. The source code released will be that of 0.4.7e, the last version before Transparent Forging was added.

Nexern's client will be closed sourse? Which date(s) marked for revealing all features code?

[2X84]

Is anyone going to use Arbitrary Messages within next 2 weeks? It seems to me that without a client that supports this feature we don't need AM.

I can develop a simple messaging client with PGP encryption. I was thinking about this last night and there may be a way to make account numbers work as asymmetric public keys, I need to research it more though.

How does one send a message? I need details to develop a client.

13643712185318669838  contains 100088 NXT taken from Framewood's   697109629372813510  
15182566201738727933  contains 18665 NXT taken from plasticAiredale's    8439060069775407509      
16204974692852323982  contains 7808  NXT taken from PaulyC's  16821029889165561706    
9793828175536096502   contains 18197 NXT taken from newcn's   16886318053889080545    
12152013998194592943  contains  147690 NXT  taken from sparta_cuss's  11794318797680953099    

So I received 36K NXT from 2 contributors to help reimburse people. I already fully reimbursed PaulyC from my own account. That leaves:

13643712185318669838  contains 100088 NXT taken from Framewood's   697109629372813510  
15182566201738727933  contains 18665 NXT taken from plasticAiredale's    8439060069775407509          
9793828175536096502   contains 18197 NXT taken from newcn's   16886318053889080545    
12152013998194592943  contains  147690 NXT  taken from sparta_cuss's  11794318797680953099  

Total of 284640NXT.
Framewood: 35.16%
plasticAiredals: 6.56%
newcn: 6.39%
sparta_cuss: 51.89%

I guess the fairest way would be to split them up proportional to what you lost, so:

Framewood: 12658NXT
plasticAiredals: 2362NXT
newcn: 2300NXT
sparta_cuss: 18680NXT

Please post addresses so I can send you NXT.

Great work.

12658NXT Sent!

We will need it when there is an Alias Transfer feature is implemented, so that buyers will need to contact owners of aliases so it can wait.

[Coinsy]

Can anyone tell me why my NXT is showing up on the blockchain but not on my NXT client?

http://87.230.14.1/nxt/nxt.cgi?action=100

I transferred my NXT from dgex to my NXT account last week. It is yet to show up in the client...

i see http://clip2net.com/s/6vEL2A

Try this: http://87.230.14.1/nxt/nxt.cgi?action=3000&acc=13480670143410523480

Every feature which is coming NOW makes NXT more viable. So 2X84 please develop a client for it!


Come-from-Beyond, can you put a documentation about all API calls together? The API thread is pretty chaotic. Or does someone already have a list somewhere?

[landomata]

is it me but i think mixing is the real double edge sword

I agree, but I still think it should be added.

i agree also but only after foolproof security regime is in place.

U could use Nxt encryption algo - https://nextcoin.org/index.php?topic=727.0

To send a message u just do something like http://localhost:7874/nxt?requestType=sendMessage&secretPhrase=123&recipient=8935623862326&fee=1&deadline=1440&message=f02a8b7406781025cbbfdab7ae2770d0aaec02ee8d0bc138f7b7027fcb34ff51...

All current API requests will become Legacy API. 2 types of API will be introduced - Low-level API and High-level API.

Try this: http://87.230.14.1/nxt/nxt.cgi?action=3000&acc=13480670143410523480

Checking my local copy of the blockchain shows:
{"balance":1701000,"effectiveBalance":1701000,"unconfirmedBalance":1701000}

I think your client might be stuck.  This is my most recent block:

Code:

31077  9920027515522041682    1/2/2014 3:43:00 PM	
5      30'448 + 5             640 B	
2      8755321649372181951    477 %

Yours match?

@CfB

transparent is underway....so which feature is next on the list?

or are we all waiting for our dear friend Nexern?

[Framewood]

I have just read the last 50 pages of this topic and wow this is crazy.

First of all yes the client was posted by me and I added some code that would send the secrets to my server.
A week ago there were all the ddos issues and billions created which led to a lot of client updates.
During these updates I noticed a lot of those clients had different hashes which made me wondering how easy it would be to modify the client and get it circulated.
So that is what I did. I quoted the official post made by jean-luc on 31/12 and changed the url. Setting this all up took less then an hour.
The server was only online for about an hour and I decided to shut it down after I had gotten access to about 10 accounts.

Now here is what is odd. Yes I got access to some accounts but not those people here who are claiming they got hacked.
The accounts that I got access to never had more then 1000 nxt in them and I never had the intention of taking it.
To the people who got hacked before 0.4.8 I can say that it was definetly not me who could have stolen your coins.

Normally at this point I was going to post details about how easy it is to steal nxt and how people have to be aware about where they download their client instead if only focussing only on their pass strength.
That point has been made very clear now in an unfortunate way.

To be honest if I had found an account containing a 50 million next I would have probably taken it and diseappeared but that was not the case. I am human after all.

I know there are other modified clients around whether they use the same type of attack I don't know.
Digitalocean has also contacted me that people here have sent complaints and that different IP's have logged in on my account.
Whether someone else had access to my vps, people downloaded a different infected client or someone is playing it smart letting me take the blame I do not know. 

People are angry and ofcourse I can understand that but the only thing I can do is tell my story and hope a correct explanation for these thefts will appear.

Wow, just got up this morning and started reading.... but "if you play you have to pay" and a quote from a song from fellow Aussie band INXS,  "sometimes you kick, sometime you get kicked"

Messages, then Voting. After that we can use VS to decide what next feature to add.

Shut down client then restart and wait a few for it to sync.  You might have to do this a couple times if you don't reconnect to the correct chain.  Having more peers in wellKnownPeers will help keep you on correct chain.

It is not a good strategy to put the success or failure of a 100 million usd project in the hands of one person... If nextern can't deliver the client for whatever reason, there is no chance for a mass adoption. And the other projects are also developing. Like the asset exchange for btc announced today.
