NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information

[BitcoinForumator]

Where the guy who was going to create a decentralized poker game? With AM it becomes possible.

I don't know why there was no noise about that! Decentralized poker game is something that may skyrocket NXT. Poker players have been waiting for this for ages! There have always been accusations of rigged software(rigged random generator) and also with decetralization the rake(that's how fees are called in poker) would be much smaller! Have in mind that rake in cash games is about 8-10bb per 100 hands. Best players earn 1-2bb per 100 hands. So, if rake falls only with 20-30%, poker players would earn twice more (or lose less for some). Would be soooo gooood for nxt!

I know at least one guy is working on it. He made the coinflip game for NXT. It just takes times to make an appropriate game. I surely would welcome more people developing poker games. BTW, poker is the second most expensive alias to register so far. Someone is going to make sure that money well spent.  

I didn't even metion that there are countries where poker is restricted, and other where you pay huge taxes!

p.s. And ye, Omaha's rake is insane, especially in French sites!

No no, I wasn't talking about Omaha rake. I was talking about winrate in Omaha. On ONE pretty big network. Been doing it for 2 years so I know it's possible. (now I don't anymore - no time, no desire). Granted low stakes - but was told even higher up you can earn a lot more than 1-2bb like in Holdem.

Unless we have a decentralized forum, having two boards is good.

But please, only use forums.nxtcrypto.org now

think here is pretty much decentralized.
but what you see centralized about nxtcrypto.org?

The ones who are in charge could always close the board, change some rules, maybe change entries? Isn't this very centralized?

By the way, anybody else seen these ads here?

Closure On The EpicThomas Attack Of 31 Dec 2013

OK, time for EpicThomas restitution distribution.

EpicThomas has sent 47,960 NXT to my account 16092180239932658439 as a restitution payment for NXT lost in his hack attack of December 31.

From the previous charity distribution described at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=345619.msg4275210#msg4275210 this is the split applied:

Framewood: 35.16%
plasticAiredals: 6.56%
newcn: 6.39%
sparta_cuss: 51.89%

So I have transfered:

47960*0.3516 = 16863 to Framewood's  11516574435181434547
47960*0.0656 = 03146 sent to PlasticAiredale's  17139321135754562770
47960*0.0639 = 03065 sent to newcn's 13187911577562526278
47960*0.5189 = 24886 sent to Sparta-cuss's 14748981975238803545

These actions can be verified via the block explorer at http://87.230.14.1/nxt/nxt.cgi?action=34 .  Between charity and restitution payments, these four individuals have now recovered just shy of 30% of their losses.

There still  remains doubt over whether the bandit accounts associated with this heist contain stolen NXT or darkNXT.   Furthermore, the sentiment  in the NXT general forum seems to be that EpicThomas paying a restitution of 47,960 NXT balances the scales of justice for his crime of distributing infected NXT clients on December 31, 2013.

Accordingly, I consider the matter of EpicThomas to be closed and I will take no further actions regarding him.

thank you so much rickyjames, I owe you a favour, I'll remember that

NXT GOGOGO

Brainstorming

I'd like to introduce a concept of a new feature called Account Control. This feature will allow to do different things with ur accounts. For example, u will be able to set a lock on an account to prohibit any outgoing transactions until a special condition met (e.g. an incoming transaction from a predefined account). Another example is Pooled Forging, when an account leases its forging power to another account.

Please, post here what u would like to see in Account Control.

2 passwords: read and write, i.e. a second password to authorize sending and alias registration.

EDIT: Preferably, the first (read) password should allow forging.

I want a way to protect/secure/limit the withdrawal of my coins.

For example, u will be able to set a lock on an account to prohibit any outgoing transactions until a special condition met (e.g. an incoming transaction from a predefined account).

There was suggestion to block outgoing transactions by pushing some public key, associated with account, to blockchain, and unlock with corresponding private key. This allows forging and doesn't requires to create another account. From user's point of view it will be just password, blocking you account from spending money.
In first time I disagreed with this proposition, but now I see how it is good from user's side.

Both features you mentioned are Great. The locked account can be a saving account. Or it could be used as an escrow monitored account as the escrow account is the predefined account. Tremendously helpful.

Can a locked account forge ?

The bold functionality is still helpful even if the locked account cannot forge. but maybe i am wrong if the account holder can change the predefined account address at will.
