NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information

[bitcoinpaul]

did you use any additional program? non official client? ballancer?

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

so the mystery solved? the guy got robbed because he used vanitygen without a prefix.

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

Well, he used it for at least one account with this password: es4678jhGR5.,uTTGGGdef35ujfg!7e3
But the other 2 account# look normal, so it was most likely a keylogger/trojan.

I also want to repeat my advice to use private browsing mode, or a separate browser profile, when accessing the Nxt server at localhost. It is a known issue that localhost url's containing the user secret phrase are retained in the browser memory cache. Could a malicious javascript planted on some website access and retrieve those?

After news about NEX maybe it makes sense to hold the horses a bit and do less opensource for now.

WARNING: DO NOT USE VANITYGEN

pump.

Well, i used vanitygen for account in my sig. If hacker is reading this he can prove his skills by cracking it. Btw, passphrase is less than 30 characters.

I am very impressed the way 0.5.9 downloaded the blockchain without the hanging of the browser!

also very fast

congratz

There r still a few surprises left for guys who used to use decompiled binaries.

getAccountCurrentAskOrderIds works similar to getAskOrderIds but uses "account" and (optionally) "asset" to filter data.

You need to thank CfB for that, he is the one working on adding APIs.

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.

Oh my god, thank you!

This is not persisted between NRS restarts!

I know, mesmerising decisions...  
Frankly, I like experiments like this (except real-world communism attempts in so many suffering territories), let us se what extreme results it can bring. Sooner or later this had to happen.

[Sarahiko]

Tried it using the faucet coins are missing and no where to found.

Fast & Smooth!      ...can someone drop a few words on that JVM,--dry-run, etc. warning please...

Ask the jetty experts. I don't know why those warnings are needed, and how to disable them. They appear whenever a system property is defined in the jetty conf files, but the only simple way to disable the noisy jetty warnings is by defining the system property org.eclipse.jetty.LEVEL=OFF. I also use system properties nxt.debug and nxt.enableStackTraces to control our own logging.

Restarts? What restarts? 0.5.9 will need to be restarted only when 0.6.0 is released!

Right. But I have to shut NRS down when switch my computer off.

[darealmasta]

Does it matter if i use http or https on localhost?

Ok. Still a big improvement, should cover 99% of problems.

Another issue I want to mention: if you restart NRS, but forget to reload the browser page, it can then pretend to send money, but won't actually do it.

Would be nice to have some sort of warning that you need to re-unlock your account.

Also, I know a lot of new clients are supposed to come soon, but I kinda like this browser-based client. So what's the plan for it?
