NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information

[opticalcarrier]

ctrl-c has been signaling shutdown, I dont think it used to handle it properly, but lately, ctrl-c signals process to end and do a final write to blocks.nxt and transactions.nxt.  

I  can't do ctrl-c as I don't have the console. I have kill JVM from the task bar.

NRS client should have a console or something to shut down the server cleanly. Then we wouldn't have so many issues with corrupted files

If you see the NRS stopped message and no errors, then there were no problem with the shutdown. What exactly error do you see on startup?

Client starts... passes all stages... scans blockchain... and then crashes!?!?!    

...this after a successful download of the whole blockchain and a clean shutdown...

Let me ask again. What error do you see on startup? As in, what gets printed to the console?

In 0.7.0e hovering over +10 in transaction list won't reveal actual number of verifications.

it does for me

Chocholates are ready! Enjoy. Let me know if I can do something more.

Oh....my.....god 

Why the dark 80's theme? Where did the light/eco-friendly/speed go in this design?
Really, you need unity in the theme.

it looks like ltbcoin and the gameshow are public knowledge now. so i guess that means im finally able to tell you guys that i reserved the first 3 episodes of that gameshow to have nxt as the prizes.

Hell yeah

We have our first small online tournament up. It starts saturday and is a chess tournament.
See: http://www.freechess.org/Events/NXT/

I've written a small article on it, which anyone can publish.
It also would be cool, if someone translated it to russian and spanish.

Jean-Luc, it takes 17 minutes to scan the blockchain on my odroid-xu:

Code:

[2014-02-06 20:21:40.352] DEBUG: Database cache size set to 253440 kB

On the old version with .nxt file it took only 9 secounds...

on my laptop, couple of minutes to scan blockchain...

edit: to be precise

Code:

It really does leave an impression. Especially the black one, it looks like a storm is brewing with NXT at the front. /foreshadowing

Nxt - 3D graphics: Update #10

Here is my hexa version. I hope you will like it too.

Should I make third version exactly as was requested?


All 3d renderings are here:

Code:

[2014-02-06 15:48:38.805] "adress_ip": .... >>> java.net.UnknownHostException: adress_ip

it's not in my peers, so others host spread that.

shouldn't host be removed from peers (or blacklisted) if "UnknownHostException" was thrown?

I think that we could run Scripting on a parallel chain. Main chain won't be hurt if something goes wrong.

Very interested to see how this "parallel chain" stuff is going to work - and yes I guess it could be the safest way to do the "smart contracts".

Am guessing that if we approach it that way then the 100+ TPS should not be affected by this or other ideas that could also be put into "parallel chains".

Maybe this is the "real ace" that Nxt has up its sleeve?

I said this a long time ago

I think I mentioned this hundreds of pages ago, but why do we assume transactions and DACs have to be on the same blockchain? The beauty of multiple chains is that people can choose which chains to point their devices at. Smartphone users would be happy to point their smart phones at the main chain only, while those with powerful desktops can point their machine at both the main chain and the DAC chain. Both chains can be run at 1 minute between blocks, to maintain consistency. Also, I wonder if coins can be transferred between chains? If not, I'm 99% sure the AE can take care of that.

Also, can anyone answer this: how does etherium handle a situation where one computer is faster than the other? Does the network just work at a predefined speed (# of OPs per minute) and anyone who can't reach that quota is kicked off the network? Or do they have some method of comparing output from multiple nodes to make sure the same inputs produce the same outputs (unlimited OPs per minute, depending on size of network and # of matching answers needed)?

[xyzzyx]

I don't think a low-memory device like a RaspberryPi would need a full blockchain to forge.  It would only need just over 1440 blocks.  If it needs to consult blocks that it doesn't have because they're too far in the past, it can get them by querring the API of a public node -- or several public nodes.

It can keep a list of SHA256 hashes of the blocks it deletes to check that the ones it gets from a public node are correct.

Edit: It can keep a list of the block signatures of the blocks it deletes to check that the ones it gets from a public node are correct.

Or am I missing something?

BUMP

Please shoot holes in the above.

Also, I have communication mask set to 3, and in 0.6.x, I'm seeing quite large number of (definitely larger than in 0.5.x):
java.net.SocketTimeoutException: connect timed out, and
java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out

How does one calculate base target percentage based on the number in block.baseTarget?

Also, what's the meaning of block.version? Does it ever change?

100% = 153722867.

It's version of a block. It was changed from 1 to 2 when we activated the 1st phase of TF.
