Thanks jean-luc, but I wonder if it wouldn't be better if every new version was released as an experimental first?

[morningtime]

The 0.5.8 Jean-Luc posted doesn't work for me.

Ok it works, after deleting the .nxt files

Why vote makes no unfair social media.
You call a couple of people that the community is all about?

That decide for everyone

Why not conduct a fair vote social media?

Unfortunately creating a Facebook page and paying for fake 'Likes' doesn't really help the community at all.

I bought a coupon promotion Facebook

I understand, but if I create a poll why not fair?

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=418838.msg4547740#msg4547740

I wish the community is not honest, not surprisingly but the price falls to the nxt, unfair to the community



Community will pay for marketing, why can not I pay for Facebook?

I do not require rewards me hurt why not create a valid vote

I'll try to explain once, in case you truly do not understand.

"Bought" likes means "likes" that have not chosen to see the messages.
It's basically a kind of "facebook spam"

People dislike spam and when they see Nxt on their timeline they will be much more likely to think that Nxt is a spamming coin and not join.

Even if you thought you were really helping, you were not. The thought is appreciated, the way you did it was, well, just not good.

As to the vote: only sites that have been around for a while (before 3 january) were put in.

I'm sorry if you feel that is unfair, but those are the reasons that I see.

Ok, so two versions found:

https://github.com/swdunlop/WaspVM/blob/ce71767f5eea8d3768c7aba376c65ce8a13fdc73/vm/curve25519_i64.c
(looks to be unedited)


and https://github.com/swdunlop/WaspVM/blob/master/vm/curve25519_i64.c

Thank u for the link. Unfortunatelly, it doesn't contain an implementation of EC-KCDSA.

PS: BCNext modified original version of EC-KCDSA to increase requirements to hardware implementations of an Nxt wallet. This was supposed to increase protection of end users. But this also has some disadvantages, like inability to find other source code that does the same thing. I'm not even sure that the original contained such the code.

I don't even know what that means, but the guy just replied to me and I have his code. It seems to be the same as the source linked to, only it adds sign25519 and verify25519 methods. and there is another archive included by Michele Bini. Should I email it to you? what's your email?

Never mind, I've uploaded them to copy.com:

https://copy.com/uOipoZkrpqO6
https://copy.com/sC8yYDyhhLmo

Let me know if this helps?

I haven't asked the guy yet, he may also be appropriate to do a code review? Should I ask him CFB?

Edit: Oh, actually, this was the guy that ported from C to Java - dmitry skiba - not the guy that wrote the C implementation - haven't heard back from him yet.

Stepping through the advertising platform Facebook, brings good results

  We need to spend all 9Mil on development

I do agree with that.

[salsacz]

What could a PR commitee do with the funds, just a quick idea, feel free to comment:
60 articles, 50 infographics, conferences fees, tournaments, videos, translations....

We can always give less to the giveaways and more to the articles.. However it is important to have the right infographics before any giveaway

I think anything between 2-3M should be fine

I just opened my account and there are two transactions of 0+1 sent to 8450504352895951699. This account has an alias-NXTSolaristestaccount. I didn't make these transactions. How is this possible?

Did you use a very simple password?

No. 100 characters.

This is my entry for the AM contest: Project Wake-Up Call :-)

The idea is, that sooner or later account holders will use software (clients, BC Explorer, etc.) that will show the plain text messages received on their account.

Thus, I sent out plain text messages to all accounts with more than 50.000 NXT in it that have no public key (204 accounts in total).

The message says:

Your NXT account is not fully protected! Please visit http://goo.gl/7vvRJl to learn more.

The link in the message goes to http://nxtsolaris.wordpress.com/nxt-no-public-key-landing-page/ which gives a short explanation on how to secure an account by doing an outgoing transaction.

[notsoshifty]

For me

https://192.168.178.55:7875/nxt?requestType=getAccountPublicKey&account=2449360251152267661

returns

{"publicKey":"49ed84f9ed7b2a8a555ced4b07de61b5d666f2d0b6186414882136d72a911719"}

requestType=getAccountBlockIds&account=2449360251152267661&timestamp=0 returns non-empty list of forged blocks.

Now I also get non-empty responses to both of these requests. But for a while (including after you made your posts) I was still getting empty responses, even though the two "getBlock" calls were showing that my NRS believed those two blocks were indeed generated by that account. Odd. Oh well.

you could also buy an alias with short explanation and link to the explanation

I never saw that message, I never visited that page, and I never sent any transactions. Wth is going on?
