can we now focus back on NXT and finaly move on?

release for testing nexerns client 26th is that official?

Pin


Pin,I think it is better to produce the video with the nexern's "official" client  after talked in QQ (like skype)group yesterday .Most of  people just trust the "official" boz of the recent steal event ,although these event are not related with "unofficial".
So we need to wait the release of nexern's client,then make video ,OK?

And I am translating the video from salsacz first and promote them.

Agreed.


Allwelder, how will the "Chinese ban" of crypto infect the markets any idea, how will Chinese people react to that?

Pin
yes .
More and more people around me push into this new cryptocurrencies market before the ban,including my friends. And many of them just to make more money without care what the crypto is .
And now,many of them withdraw money from the exchange platform after the ban,because China has take serious action to regulate this new virtual things.

But some of them are still keen on this revolutionary economy activity including me. Grin

The attitude of China government now is waiting and see,and I will pay attention to the policy.If any news released,I will post here.

And I heard(unofficial)  that China may take more  severe action to regulate these exchange platform before the China spring festival(2014 Feb).

So I hope the Decentralized exchange feature of Nxt come ture ASAP. Cheesy


The decentralized marketplace will allow people in China to purchase goods with Nxt and other assets listed on the Nxt network.  There won't be a need to convert your cryptocurrency into Reminbi.

I know you will think this is too early for this but I don't want we fail in the same point bitcoin did.

In the real world people like to use high amounts, and never less than cents. Currently with bitcoin sitting nearly @ $1,000/each this is stopping people from buying them. You look so miserable when you spend $50 and you get 0.05 bitcoin. The higher the price will go, the higher this will stop people from buying it.
And to be honest, milibitcoin won't be a good solution. People wants to hold at least 1 bitcoin, now it feels too expensive.
Also is a pain in the ass to read/send 0.00145 for example.

The better way would be to do a split, like in the stock market. For example at every $1,000 we move the comma 3 places. So, now we total coins is 21,000 million and all the people would have x1,000 , so new people can happily buy 50 bitcoins with $50 dollars.


Will be possible in NxT to easily do the split? IMO this will be mandatory in the future.

If one Nxt is ever worth a thousand dollars (trillion dollar market cap) then you might want to just sell and stop worrying about the future at that point.

Is the ability to use fractions of 1 NXT not enough?
Btw, is a smaller fraction (< 0.01) possible?

Author of the Vanitygen is Jean-Luc.

Now something serious. With all this NxT getting lost, we should focus in security.

We need some kind of system like:

Offline wallet with coins --> Gives permission to forge to ---> Copy of wallet but "only watch"
So you have the same wallet and you can forge.

Exactly the same like Armory offline wallets for bitcoin with the extra of forging.


Also 1 password for opening account and another 1 password for sending could work for the short term.


I read that devs were working in something like this. Any update?

With Account Control, we have the solution. I hope it will get implemented very soon. CfB, ETA?

1 account, 10 million.

9 anonymous people are chosen.

3 get the first part of the password.
3 get the second part of the password.
3 get the last part of the password.

So to send money, we just need to contact 1 of every group.  This needs to be a diverse group so that no one can figure out other people that might be in the group of chosen ones.

Make a script that allows input of the password parts and then executes it.

Or better yet, use some sort of screen sharing where each person then enters their password phrase. Everyone can view at the same time.

I like wesleys's idea much more than the idea of having 10 separate account controlled completely by 10 people. To summarize,  I going to put forward this proposal:

1. BCNext create a completely secure account holding 10 million fund

2. BCNext choose 9 trusted password holders who pledge 1. to never reveal the password or his names; 2. to follow the rules of funding; 3 to act expediently when the his password is required

3.
Following wesleyh's proposal  

3 get the first part of the password.
3 get the second part of the password.
3 get the last part of the password.

4. The funding for a new project would follow my concept  of "open bounty" outlined here

Anyone can step up and present his/ her idea, propose a bounty and let the community decides. So we continue the tradition of asking for bounties in a decentralized fashion as we have been already doing in nextcoin and nxtcrypto forums so far. But now funding would be a bit easier to come by since we have common pool in addition to private donors's fund.

This will work easier when we have the voting system in place. A person presents his/ her idea, propose a bounty and action plan, and set up a vote. Community can ask questions in the meantime and when the voting is over, the project will be funded if the vote passes the majority. A democratic and decentralized method of funding projects.

We can even implement this type of "open bounty" even when the voting system is not yet in place. In fact, we actually did it one time already with the case of Maco's android app as the overwhelming majority refused to fund his 500K NXT request for his app. So we actually had a precedent in place already. Let's continue the funding process in this type of decentralized fashion instead of giving one person/ or group the authority of giving out the funds.

5. When a project get funding, a time will be set so that the pass holders can coordinate and send the necessary fund to the project with funding. Make a script that allows input of the password parts and then executes it.

6. A guideline could be as follow (credit nxtberry)

I would also like to see an efficient donation/reward/funding program approx like this:
* 10 NXT donation to new nxters for basic testing
* 100 NXT reward for minor NXT promotion
* 1000 NXT graphics, branding, major promotion etc.
* 10000 NXT minor development, larger graphics work, applets, wide media promotion etc.
* 100000 NXT larger development / significant projects funding, milestone events

That's the proposal to deal with all the funding issue and all the unclaimed coins. Please support this proposal and end this debate in consensus. Please suggest modification as needed.    

Could someone talk about the details how this should work, please? How to securely do this without the risk of someone getting all 3 password pieces?

Does anyone have any suggestions on the best tools to find and remove spyware, keyloggers and all others of similar nature?

Avast is the best free antivirus tool that I know of - http://www.avast.com

I use it since 2005, never let me down.

You never heard about FUD crypting, right? I could compromise your machine with a password stealer and you'd never know it, till all your money is gone. Avast or any other anti-virus software can't protect you in this case.

I got 2 FREE GOLDEN advices for Windows users:

  • USE INTERNET ON A VIRTUAL MACHINE and use host for banking and currency stuff.
  • KEEP YOUR SYSTEM UPDATED
  • not an advice - I hope noone here is using Win XP, this is just asking for troubles

There are few out there. VM Player (from VMWare) is available for free, VirtualBox is free, but I remember it having I/O slower than VmWare.
There's paid VmWare workstation. There was also Microsoft Virtual PC, now I think it was rebranded to Hyper-V (I think it's available in Win8).

As soon as you're done with "teh internetz", revert virtual machine to initial state. There, that's it.

Most malware this days relies on 0day exploits. Even with VM you shouldn't feel safe, there's always possibility,
that's something's gonna escape from VM to host. (There were bugs in VMware in it's history)

As a last resort: Use your browser inside sandboxie.

PS Don't think FF is secure.
PS2 Don't think Chrome is secure. (I have access to data that suggest there are in-the-wild WORKING exploits for chrome, sorry, cannot share that data).

If you think the above is worth 0.02$, here's nxt: 6669070404060812420

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Release 0.5.9:

http://download.nxtcrypto.org/nxt-client-0.5.9.zip

sha256: 35e0454c0eba551637674fa0e607774b864b0f428b5618f0d14f1ddc8d42cb62

Change log:

Resolved all remaining thread concurrency issues in the block and
transaction handling. All reported null pointer exceptions, division by
zero, and related bugs should not happen anymore. If you see any
errors in the log at all, please report them in our bug database:
https://bitbucket.org/JeanLucPicard/nxt-public/issues

Added Asset Exchange related APIs:
getAskOrder, getAskOrderIds, getBidOrder, getBidOrderIds,
getAccountCurrentAskOrderIds, getAccountCurrentBidOrderIds.

Prevent the Recent Blocks tab in the browser UI from growing beyond
60 blocks. This should help avoid browser slowdown and freeze during
downloading of the whole blockchain from scratch.

Added transaction re-broadcasting. To make sure a new transaction has
been received by the network, it is broadcasted every minute, until
it shows in the list of unconfirmed or confirmed transactions.

The debug logs are quiet now, in fact I haven't seen any exceptions in
the last 24 h of testing this release. Everybody should give it a try as
I hope this is a really stable release. In particular, peers still
running the buggy 0.5.7 will get blacklisted if they don't upgrade,
because they keep broadcasting malformed JSON blocks and will be treated
as zombies.

so the mystery solved? the guy got robbed because he used vanitygen without a prefix. It also means we cannot know who the thief is, we can only check these money. But only if all 3 accs were created by vanitygen.

No, his Windows system was most likely compromised with keylogger/trojan. He didn't use vanitygen at all, afaik.
