What's to stop malicious nodes from creating their own genesis blocks with super special bonus additions?

Master blockchain.

Isn't the whole point that the block chain will be shrunk?  So, at this stage who would have the master block chain?

Master chain will contain only checkpoints made every 1440th block. It will never be shrinked. At least this is not planned.

Edit: After we split blockchain into parallel ones we have to store checkpoints in the master chain. MC will grow ~ N * 32 bytes each day, where N is number of parallel chains.

...ui. So I hope this means not something bad...

Hm, that's assuming the merchant keeps those accounts empty right? I think a workaround would be that as long as the merchant plans to use that account for his customers, it should never be empty (he asks the client to keep at least 0.01 NXT in there). If the client empties out his account, then the merchant simply generates a new one for the client to use next time and tells him to not use the old one because the client emptied it out.

I think we should seriously consider forcing this behavior so we can prune public keys of accounts with no balance and no aliases

What if someone creates a new account just before a pruning? It would be frustrating to have it deleted before getting a chance to send Nxt to it.

In order to create an new account, you have to send NXT to it in the first place.

U'll receive the funds in a pruned chain. No problem here.

J-L: I hate u......<engaging upgrade process for the second time today>

U shouldn't blame J-L. When I got info about the bug I offered a solution that was implemented in 0.5.12, actually it was just an uneffective work-around. Later BCNext poped up and proposed a better way to fix the bug. Enjoy 0.6.0.

BCNext popped up    

BCNext is now some magical fairy

OK....got both my home nodes up and running with 6.0, VPS is currently rebuilding its blockchain.

I've stopped hating J-L and am back in friendly mode. Got slightly irritated last night, but 4 hours sleep has made me a new man.  

Being not-too-techy:
 Do not blindly transfer your old web.xml over to 6.0 or u will get a monster Java crash on start up.
The important line is :

New version, 6.0:  
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<web-app>
    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>Nxt</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>nxt.Nxt</servlet-class>

Old version:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<web-app>
    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>Nxt</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>Nxt</servlet-class>



VPS seems to be sweet as well, everything is on:

Good job, guys, thx very muchly.

Do we need to change something in web.xml with the new version 0.6.0?

EDIT: OK, I got it, do not use web.xml from previous versions. Right?

[wesleyh]

I'm receiving these errors:

How many nodes show this error?

Deleted transactions.nxt and blocks.nxt and now appears to be working.

Just don't use the old version, from 5.12 or below.
Some people (like me) have custom settings in web.xml and are stupid enough to just use the older version without checkng it.
Result, monster java crash.

Hey Guys,

What do you this about this.... An Android-powered, universal-thin client called the Wyse Cloud Connect.

http://www.zdnet.com/dell-cooks-up-an-android-pc-on-an-hdmi-stick-7000025851/


it's only USD 129!

I'm sure 1000 TPS Nxt can run on this.

I am making good progress on getting AE into my Client - as let's see what the testing does. Any tentative dates for 'official launch' of AE??

11th of Feb - public test
Xth of Feb - release

Lets make 14th feb the release date. ) a day with full of love haha

You will end up with lots of breakups..
Sample Scenario
GF: hey, you didn't take me out on valentines, what the hell..?
BF: Sorry babe, i was umm... busy trading nxt... crypto.. you know..  the price is going through the roof!

Genesis account passphrase was cracked before it was revealed - https://nextcoin.org/index.php/topic,3752.msg35274/topicseen.html#new

And cracked by Doctor Evil, no less!

Btw, now BCNext can't prove that he is BCNext, anyone can sign a message using the genesis account. So we should expect that BCNext's real identity will never be known...

Edit: Is it a coincidence that my contract is being over in April?

It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen.

How to sign a message?

[Come-from-Beyond]

How to sign a message?

1. Generate SHA256 of the message
2. Unlock an account
3. Generate a token (purple key icon next to account id) with SHA256 hash used instead of "website"

- with lightweight clients, we are able to use nxt on every smartphone. BUT is this different and superior to BTC if we can’t actually forge with our phone? (Leasing forge power is not the same since we are not really part of the nxt network with the phone). When we implement block shrinking and parallel blockchains, we could shovel weight of the important transaction chain which means smartphones and raspberrypis could work longer for nxt (until how many TPS? I have one clue)

It should be possible to build lightweight smartphone wallets using the online wallet I'll soon be releasing in mynxt.info. The blockchain will be stored in mynxt's servers and we can build iPhone/Android apps using API calls to mynxt.info servers.

- SMS gateway (bounty by CfB) must be developed (eg Africa is using SMS as some sort of currency). This would be a really nice feature, especially for marketing

Where can I find info on this bounty please?

Guys & Gals,

I think it would be great to have a Asset Exchange Explorer type website similar to our blockexplorer http://87.230.14.1/nxt/nxt.cgi?action=1

Development can begin now so that it would be ready when the Asset Exchange officially launches.

I can include this in mynxt.info. What's the latest on AE release date please?

Am I seeing this correctly?  A lot of transactions of zero value are coming out.   

Is that going to blow out the memory of Nxt nodes?

Yes, all nodes will blow after number of transactions reaches 666.

Is transaction number  personal transactions or all transactions on Nxt net?
