I'm a loyal American with a security clearance, so I've got to say that what Edward Snowden was illegal and he should be arrested and tried for felony charges.
But how else could he expose the things he did, while staying legal? When there is no other way, he did what he considered the right thing to do. Do you think he should have just looked away?

Technical question: is transaction ID enough to uniquely identify it or should I use the full signature?

Altho it pains me greatly to say this, I do not feel free to discuss my true opinions about Edward Snowden in a public forum. Sigh. Perhaps once NXT makes me independently wealthy, I might come back here and have several pages of things to say.

I guess im pretty unlucky. Forging with 60k-100k for >2 weeks now, no block found...
If you forge non-stop with 60k, and if the total amount of nxt forging in the network is 500million (my guess - is there a way to find out?), then the probability of you forging exactly N blocks in 2 weeks is approx.: N=0: 8.898% N=1: 21.529% N=2: 26.043% N=3: 21.001% N=4: 12.701% N=5: 6.145% N=6: 2.477% N>6: 1.206%
So - if you found no block then you were indeed unlucky. Or did you find a block but it had no fees?

Oh, I thought you retired already You know, bad-ass grandpa in a stroller with a shotgun, chasing crypto-kids in real life as a retirement hobby. That would be so cool!

Im a loyal american veteran who not only served in the desert but went back as a contractor. I also possess a security clearance. And I cant find too much terribly wrong with snowden. Now bradley manning is a different story though. fuck that guy. except he'd probably enjoy it.

I agree, there is a difference. Also, as far as I know Snowden didn't compromise anything really sensitive, like names and addresses. He just showed some very interesting power-point presentations.

Now you confused me. Auto-rescan is supposed to happen or not? If yes, and you won't add GUI auto-recovery, it would be useful to have at least a pop-up saying "Please reload this page to update transaction status" or something similar.
The re-scan happens as a recovery step when your client is intentionally being fed with wrong blocks and transactions by a bad peer. Then the blockchain is reloaded from the .nxt.bak files, the unconfirmed transactions discarded, and the peer blacklisted. But it is too complicated to also force the GUI to recover. Usually it is pretty obvious that something is wrong as the Recent blocks count becomes negative, there are lots of orphaned blocks and as you noticed thousands of bogus unconfirmed transactions. If a reload of the browser page fixes it, I think this is good enough for now. I did reload the GUI but only after I shutdown and then rerun NXT so I can't tell if all would be OK if I just reloaded GUI. I will check on the next rescan occurence. It happened again, GUI reload removed unconfirmed transactions. Blacklisted peer nxt.ravensbloodrealm... went back to Known peers list in few minutes, LOL! First, how can I increase peer ban time? Second, why not add checkpoints at certain blockheights?

I HAVE A NEW ASSIGNMENT FOR YOU!!! The IP address is listed as static (which means tellas.gr would have no problem identifying your guy) and is on several spam block lists. He send them! Please delete your post mate, he is clear.. Damn, rickyjames is like an internet superhero. When the Boogeyman goes to sleep every night, he checks his closet for Chuck Norris rickyjames. LOL. I'm no superhero, I'm just a some guy who still thinks in his mind he's still some high school joker pulling off pranks to impress the girls and is always surprised when he looks in his mirror only to see some aging grey haired guy fighting a potbelly staring back. Enjoy every single day and every single sunset, you crazy guys and gals out there, every day there's one fewer of them for you. Another way of looking at me: If one American fueled only by curiosity calling himself rickyjames can find out so much about EpicThomas and ktirio2010 in the real world with just a few clicks of a mouse, imagine what 30,000 Americans fueled by $11 billion calling themselves the National Security Agency (NSA) can find out about YOU. I'm a loyal American with a security clearance, so I've got to say that what Edward Snowden was illegal and he should be arrested and tried for felony charges. However, I also believe he considers himself a patriot whistleblower who has sent a message that everybody on Earth and especially Americans should think long and hard about. We are shifting very quickly in scary directions almost without any complaints or resistance or even caring thoughts on the way down. The NSA is utilizing capabilities targeting American citizens today that the Stasi couldn't even imagine directing against East German citizens in the 1980s. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Security_AgencyEven the FBI that I kept beating EpicThomas over the head about has changed. I read they've recently dropped "law enforcement" from their official mission statement, replacing it with "national security" as their top priority. And along the way, they've dropped from turning over 10,000 white-collar crime cases per year to federal prosecutors in 2000 down to under 3,500 per year and dropping today. To me, that's 65,000 criminals per decade getting away with their crimes - most of them on Wall Street. Forget about Al Qaeda - that kind of rot from within is what topples economies and societies. Which is a decline we are witnessing every day, all you've got to do is read The Economist weekly and Zerohedge.com daily to see it. Sigh. Off on a rant, sorry. This is why I am all for NXT - national fiat currency implemented by central banks using debt-based fractional reserve banking is a hundred year old experiment that is going to fail very soon, I fear, and something needs to be in place when it fails as a framework to rebuild economic ties between individuals. Code harder and faster, guys, you're in a race with the apocalypse. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractional_reserve_bankingVisacoin? If you got a 25% finders fee for catching that guy you would be Chuck Norris coin. I'm only half joking.

About 36h with 0.4.8, 0.5.0 was really bad - gave up on this, Upgraded to 0.5.3 stable since 3h mudshark Do we know how to make the NXT server more stable. As it is each time it hangs, for personal use it is annoying, but not that big of a deal. Unless you are racing to the airport and can't send NXT! However, for production use by say an exchange, each time the server needs to be restarted, all the transactions would need to be manually verified and completed if they got stuck somewhere. As I hear what peercover has been going through, I reduce my anti-dgex mood a notch or two, still fee amnesty would have been the minimum for dgex neutrality on my part. Also nxtgt is not officially affiliated with peercover in any way, he just took it on his own to do a great howto and gets banned by graviton. I admit I sent 300XRP to nxtgt so he can also fund the initial 30XRP needed. Setting aside dgex issues, server stability is a must. People expected automated transactions and that is not possible without a stable server. James

What I'd like to know, what developers doing about this? Because if I know they are working on it, I can be patient, but I find it worrying that a few times this problem was bought up, it was simply brushed off as not important, or even nonexistent. New features are important, some of them I'm very much looking forward to, but these stability issues absolutely should take priority.

New features are important, some of them I'm very much looking forward to, but these stability issues absolutely should take priority. jean-luc is prioritizing security issues and crash issues. I am just not sure if we actually know all the reasons for NXT server crashing or hanging. Stable NXT server is definitely the biggest showstopper as far as I am concerned. Once we have a stable server, we will instantly have automated deposit/withdrawal at exchanges being possible. Getting a reliable trading of NXT is definitely needed sooner, rather than later. For those waiting for asset exchange, I point out that somebody without NXT has no way to participate in asset exchange. Plus I have not seen any real solutions to sorting out all the different issuers of all the different variants. We need stable NXT server so we can have automated exchanges. James

has anyone done work on creating unix scripts to function as command-line operations using the API? If not then I will create a bunch of scripts These are some basic ones; I will add -h for help in there and do all the API if no one else has done it root@vps1:~# cat /usr/local/bin/peer #!/bin/bash
echo curl --silent http://$1:7874/nxt\?requestType\=getPeer\&peer\=$2 | python -m json.tool echo gives you: root@vps1:~# peers vps1 { "peers": [ "78.139.2.121", <MEGA SNIP> and root@vps1:~# cat /usr/local/bin/peers #!/bin/bash
echo curl --silent http://$1:7874/nxt\?requestType\=getPeers | python -m json.tool echo
root@vps1:~# gives you root@vps1:~# peer vps1 64.120.141.236 { "announcedAddress": "64.120.141.236", "application": null, "downloadedVolume": 0, "platform": null, "state": 0, "uploadedVolume": 0, "version": null, "weight": 0 }
