How to understand amounts of 16.1 or 2.54 NXT in trading at Dgex???

[greyw00lf]

So it is the interests of the initial stakeholders to let the NXT out in a fairly linear fashion, bit by bit, so that they can maintain a reasonable level of wealth. Same goes for Bitcoin early adopters and any other crypto, see Doge for example.

That's exactly what i always said. The best for NXT is that the big (or initial) stakeholders let out their NXT slowly. And that's also in their interest.

I just thought that the distribution was at an more advanced stage, but obviously i was wrong

[rickyjames]

... oh... i don't like the second picture.
So that means almost all NXT are in the hands of the really, really, REALLY big (10m+) stakeholders,
maybe just 200m NXT are spread amongst smaller stakeholders :/

Dirstribution is still one of the most important goals in my opinion...

The last column on the right in this picture is actually just one account, the dgex.com reserve account.

To get things into perspective: Anybody knows of such graphs for fiat currencies for some countries? ;-)

Percentage of wealth held in 2000 by the Top 10% of the adult population in various Western countries:
Switzerland   71.3%
United States   69.8%
Denmark   65.0%
France   61.0%
Sweden   58.6%
UK   56.0%
Canada   53.0%
Norway   50.5%
Germany   44.4%
Finland   42.3%

To compare NXT to countries, you want to come up with the NXT "Lorenz curve" and "Gini coefficient".

Remember that there's only been around six weeks so far to distribute NXT via a currency market....that's how long Dgex has been open.

They can support fractional amounts but since all withdrawals are done manually you can't actually withdraw that amount.

Even if true I think we will not admit it..

Yes, good idea but no need to make a new address.

Yes there is.

a) the checksum must be mandatory on the protocol level or it won't be used enough.
b) the check cannot be done only on the client, this doesn't solve unhealthy server problem. This leads us again to the protocol level.

And checksum should not be easily distinguishable from the address for various psychological reasons.

Later transactions will be signed on client side.

Many have reported bad experiences with using Dgex. I wished they had not happened. While I really dislike the exchange for its features and user interface, I'd like to share that I have traded several million Nxt through this exchange since the day there were launched - with not a single problem. All withdrawals were delivered (within their stipulated time frame) and all arrived safely.

Having said that, I join all other users in stating my displeasure over the way they increased fees without any notice.

Same here. Never had problems with DGEX but I really hope Graviton will pay some coders to bring DGEX into the year 2001.

Personal question: What do you think about the Iron Man franchise? Do you think they portrayed your life in an authentic way, or did they romanticise it too much?

2001? Haha, I guess it's 1998 now so 2001 would be a good improvement ;-)

I'm not convinced those two transfers weren't shills to give it some legitimate appearance. At least, that's what I hope.

Who knew that Come-From-Beyond had a twin brother called Come-from-Beyiond

I was tired that my client always hung after working for some hours and decided to code little hack. Now it seems to me its working much smoother.
Sorry, but i am no way a programmer, so could some gurus look at it? It is very rude attempt to regulate connected peers.

I added two functions in activePeers.html into "function initialize()"

Original code:

Code:

			function initialize() {
				setInterval(function() {
					var i, time = (new Date()).getTime(), element;
					for (i = 0; i < downloadingDeadlines.length; i++) {
						if (downloadingDeadlines[i] > 0 && downloadingDeadlines[i] <= time) {
							element = document.getElementById("downloading" + i);
							if (element != null) {
								element.className = "disabledDownloading";
							}
							downloadingDeadlines[i] = 0;
						}
					}
					for (i = 0; i < uploadingDeadlines.length; i++) {
						if (uploadingDeadlines[i] > 0 && uploadingDeadlines[i] <= time) {
							element = document.getElementById("uploading" + i);
							if (element != null) {
								element.className = "disabledUploading";
							}
							uploadingDeadlines[i] = 0;
						}
					}
				}, 100);
			}

And with my hack:

Code:

			function initialize() {
				setInterval(function() {
					var i, time = (new Date()).getTime(), element;
					for (i = 0; i < downloadingDeadlines.length; i++) {
						if (downloadingDeadlines[i] > 0 && downloadingDeadlines[i] <= time) {
							element = document.getElementById("downloading" + i);
							if (element != null) {
								element.className = "disabledDownloading";
							}
							downloadingDeadlines[i] = 0;
						}
					}
					for (i = 0; i < uploadingDeadlines.length; i++) {
						if (uploadingDeadlines[i] > 0 && uploadingDeadlines[i] <= time) {
							element = document.getElementById("uploading" + i);
							if (element != null) {
								element.className = "disabledUploading";
							}
							uploadingDeadlines[i] = 0;
						}
					}
				}, 100);
				setInterval(function() {
					var ev = new Event("click");
					var p = document.getElementById("peers");
					for (var k = 0; k < p.rows.length; k++) {
						if (p.rows[k].cells[0].className == "disconnected" || p.rows[k].cells[4].className == "disabledWeight") p.rows[k].cells[12].dispatchEvent(ev);
					}
				}, 60000);
				setInterval(function() {
					var ev = new Event("click");
					var p = document.getElementById("peers");
					for (var k = 0; k < p.rows.length; k=k + 2) {
						p.rows[k].cells[12].dispatchEvent(ev);
					}
				}, 300000);
			}

Can anyone comment on this?
