NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information

[Anon136]

Good luck with this. I purchased some NXTs in an exchange and tried to install the wallet. Talk about unintuitive. I sold them back. Maybe this will turn out alright for you all, but right now NXT makes Bitcoin seem user-friendly.

its not designed to be user friendly. its designed to be innovative. user friendliness will come later. i was in exactly your same position ages ago with namecoin, before there was any thing else other than a command line interface for it. boy what a mistake it was to dismiss it on the same grounds you just dismessed nxt. i hope you dont make that same mistake.

I'm launching a cryptocoin based on Nxt AM technology. It will be a PoW coin, but it will be protected against 51% attacks by Nxt PoS algo. If this coin becomes popular then we will see a lot of forks. Any ideas if this will make Nxt more or less popular? Such coins require to have an Nxt wallet, coz transactions a made by paying 1 NXT fee.

Today/yesterday I had a nice talk about this with my friend. He would like to host a gaming currency on the Nxt blockchain. That currency would be balanced by the gaming cards. It is used only for buying cards now, but there will be more games/projects in the future. There was a little problem with the 1 Nxt fee, it is probably too much. He would like to implement it, but without using any programmator skills. Also he wouldn't like to manage the currency, it should all be secured by the Nxt network...

Omg, someone cleared 3 of my accounts....

I used 256bit keys generated by Keepass 2. I am using  NRS 0.5.8 that installed today and downloaded from nxtcrypto.org. I am using Windows 7 Professional and am running Avira and Microsoft Security Essentials.

The NXT was transferred about half an hour ago, also while i was forging.

My PC was running unlocked but i can be 99.99% sure that no one had access to it physically. So I don't really know how this happend?!? It can't be bruteforce right?
My accounts:
8423671173148912884   107,217
12345678612257264594   71
13486646175575465553   998
The NXT are now in this account:
696356957947686421 Balance Total    :   108,286 NXT

Fuck me...

Btw the password of the third account was for example: af5c73ca7cf5f25ffa3b6b1689f40aaf60fd040b0de298c1ca661f8602d38311

Any chance of seeing these NXT again?

This is not a fully secure password. This looks very much like a Hex number. Only lower case a to f and Numbers. Something like that, even as long as it is, is cracked rather fast.

It seems someone out there is brute forcing with number chains.

I had an account which had another rather serious flaw in choice of password. It was luckily not hacked.

There is no way this can be right. If that was a true random hex number with that many digits there is no way it could be cracked easily. Can someone else input on this?

Keypass is legitimate. I have been using it for a very long time. It would not have generated the example that was given. Keypass is much more random.

I post on page 1000 from dairy queen, go back to the hotel, get up at zero dark thirty to go to the airport and spend the day in threee different jets getting home, check this thread, and 55 pages later everything is total bat crap crazy.  

Hell yeah on getting listed at last on a first tier exchange and a 100 % price rise.  

But this latest "somebody got my NXT" has pegged my paranoia needle again.  As far as I am concerned we have yet to get to the bottom of a single incident here even tho we tarred and feathered EpicThomas.  Something is STILL going on and it is bad.

I will say this again and again until I get Dev concurrence.  WE NEED TO IMPLEMENT AN OPTION TO ISSUE AN ACCOUNT FREEZE CODE BLOCKING OUTGOING NXT TRANSFERS THAT GETS CARRIED ALONG IN THE BLOCKCHAIN AS A MESSAGE UNTIL RESCENDED BY THE ACCOUNT OWNER VIA A SECOND DIFFERENT PASSWORD.

More later I gotta unpack and get caught up at home after being gone two weeks.  GO NXT!!!

Also i never type the keys always copypaste them, so would a keylogger really get these passwords?

Damn.... I guess i have to format my PC and setup a new OS. Atleast my BTC are in cold storage and still safe.

keylogger can log clipboard too

would you mind posting all 3 passwords just to prove you were the owner.

posted them.

Also i did setup a new OS.

Fucking hacker scam....

check the browser history - which sites did you use for alias registrations?

I deleted most of my data, but i saved my the NXT links.
Link 1: Here i read about all
http://wiki.nxtcrypto.org/wiki/How-To:Alias 
Link 2: Here i registered all:

Client is really a con right now. I already imagine chinaman downloading the client via the link on BTER. He will unzip and wtf, that doesn't work right out of the package, what is dis crap  

'Chinaman' was buying elaborate cities when our nations were living in caves, as the biggest users of the Internet I'm sure they will do fine...

Many Chinese speak some English but a translated set of instructions would help oil things a lot....

I think we need some Chinese members to be more active and help NXT?

i am a programmer, maybe i can translate the newest NXT release.

[TwinWinNerD]

Also, about an hour before the transfer i was using this site:
http://localhost:7874/message.html
But that is also local and should be safe rtight?

So..it has come to this.   ( http://xkcd.com/1022/ )

If NXT does not insure user security with extreme measures, we are going to get our reputation killed while somebody else does.

well, i used the 2 Java vanity files posted in this thread. But that was days ago.

And so it begins.

not a bad idea. zero cost buy in is smart. lets see where it goes. the more competition the better.

Let's see how a "Free" crypto (initially) develops to one that has value(if any of these actually release that is...) 

[ferment]

(building DNAs in c/c++ is dangerous, you can't sandboxing this. at least with a granularity nessesary.
interpreted, prototype and self reflectional languages are much better for this, they are also widely used
within academic ai research and there are several good reason for this.)

I'm looking at javascript, lua, and scala. Instead of embedding code in the blockchain, it might be interesting to store a reference to code and some kind of SHA.

edit: have seen you are thinking about referencing to outside code, e.g. hosted on a webserver. yes, this is another solution but not decentralized and therefore
not optimal and we couldn't say to the press nxt has launched the first and only real DNA in cryptocountry, living completly within the blockchain and doing a usefull
job for the users. sure, it is difficult pressing advanced stuff, optimal with choosable gui capabilities, into the tiny 1kb AM limit but it would be great if we could.

The code wouldn't be any less decentralized than NRS itself. Something has to read the code from the blockchain and execute. That code would provide a context for the blockchain embedded code. It could be distributed p2p just like NRS could be.

The problem as you mentioned is the serialization of functions/closures. There's a interesting idea presented for inclusion in Scala called Spores to handle serialization of closures. The very cool thing about Scala is that it runs in the JVM so it can drop right into the existing NRS as NRS plugin (servlet in nxt/webapps).

Javascript would be interesting with something like Rhino embedded in a NRS plugin. Msgpack would squeeze a bit more out of the 1K for AM. It would be possible to write a DSL that would stuff even more functionality into an AM.

I'm not sure why folks are so hung up on c/c++. The choice of Java (and indirectly the JVM) opens some very interesting possibilities. I've been thinking a lot about what an implementation NXT in Scala with Akka would look like and steal some ideas from Spark. The amazing part is to just extract the algorithmic stuff (BCNext secret sauce) into a standalone Java class then import that into a new environment to handle the networking/protocol piece and provide a framework for extending NXT directly by writing plugins that run on the JVM.

If we could formalize NXT as a platform by providing a framework for developers to extend the NXT blockchain in a standard, predictable manner then things will be very interesting very quickly.
