blockchain explorer node 87.230.14.1 still runs on 0.5.11

does this effect the blockchain explorer?

blockchain explorer node 87.230.14.1 still runs on 0.5.11

does this effect the blockchain explorer?

No, if it sees 0.6.0+ nodes.

I'm talking about that critical bug. It still could end following another branch due to other changes.

[l8orre]

On the 11th of Feb we r launching public test of Asset Exchange. Do we have at least 1 client ready for that? What platforms does it support?

we wil see. nxtFreeRider is written in python3 using PyQt. It has a bunch of dependincies, that are all straightforward to obtain. should run without a hitch on ubuntu, debian, and all other linuxes. Windows - good chance - MAC no idea.

February 11th? good chance, but I won't bet my life on it. maybe late in the evening?  What will public test of Asset Exchnage mean? on the TESTNET or on the real nxt-Net?

[Come-from-Beyond]

What will public test of Asset Exchnage mean? on the TESTNET or on the real nxt-Net?

Testnet. I'll be giving testcoins to everyone.

uff. testnet is good. again, good chance to have nxtFreeRider on the 11th. but no guarantees - don't feed me to the trolls if it gets a day or two later.
I am currently connecting the UseCase logic with the widgets.

do you think its too early to make an [ANN] thread for my silver bullion gateway?

*edit* im pretty sure im going to make a career out of the nxt asset exchange

I should have something ready in the next week, but probably not monday.

Go for it! What would be the downside?

Updates - 07/02/2014
- Shows multiple balances.
- Shows node status (Green = ON, Blue = OFF)

Now effective balance 136'722.00 NXT!!!

NXTCoin first automated forging platform!
Website: http://www.nxtio.org/

Is that really what we want? Centralization?

Not think it is as big concentration. My goal is to create different accounts as you get to an acceptable amount.

But I do think so.

Look at Ghash.io.

A single point of failure. If your server's are compromised, ...

I thank the pool operators for trying to provide a service for the community, but I think forging should remain individual.  Granted, Nxt is resistant to up to 90% concentration attacks, but I don't think this is a path we want to follow for multiple reasons.  Sooner or later, someone will open a pool and run off with everyone's Nxt.  I'm not saying the current ops will do this, but it's bound to happen.

You don't get any more using a pool, you just get more consistent payouts.

Those with very few nxt could forge something through my system. Also, consider that you can be forged without being individually 24hr online.

I think it has advantages and disadvantages.

Yet to be seen, if it is efficient. Is a long-term experiment.
And think that in less than a week running, seem going to to work very well.


If you do not use all your NXTcoin's and you never open your client, what purpose are your NXTcoin's? I think NXTio is the answer to this problem, so I decided to give a solution.

Sorry the bad English, I really speak Spanish.

I would like a better informing of the participants of your service. If you wish, I can help you with that.

Any new ideas here? Decentralized internet and cloud services based on the (Nxt) platform, coupled  with a currency and a Proof of Work (or Service) system, that gives the users an initiative to provide space and resources?

I live up the road from Kim Dot Com and he's very approachable. Perhaps he could play a role.

Kim is a lone wolf, but we could try?!

Why not? Let's give it a try.

sha256: cdb39d82e59aade4a0ea6b9f64fc9852fdab5d37a9a4ba755dffeaa96672aaf5


Change log:

Fixed a bug in the calculation of guaranteed balance which could in some
cases result in effective balance higher than the actual balance. Since
this change can produce a fork, a switch to the correct calculation will
happen at block 64000. Everyone should upgrade to either 0.7.1 or 0.6.2
before that block, or we will get forks.

Improved validation of peer addresses to prevent syntactically invalid or
unresolvable addresses from being included in the peers list.

Enabled logging of all debugging output to a log file. Everything printed
out to the console will also get logged to a file nxt.log. This should
help with submitting bug reports in case of crashes and errors, as it
doesn't matter anymore if your windows console just disappeared.
The nxt.log file is overwritten at every server restart.

Cleaned-up hallmark and authorization token processing. Added Token and
Hallmark classes, those can be now used by Java client developers to
generate and validate tokens and hallmarks without going through the http
interface.

Improved logging of block push failures and block pop-off events, those
will now print out the block id and the reason for block rejection.

Improved peer blacklisting and logging of reasons for blacklisting. Http
requests from blacklisted peers are now completely ignored.

Made all API request handling classes under the nxt.http package visible
in the javadoc documentation, to be used for documenting the parameters
and return values of the http API.

There haven't been any database related bugs in the 0.7 series. All the
above changes have been applied to both 0.6 and 0.7 branches. I encourage
more people to try the 0.7.1 version, there is no need to continue
maintaining the 0.6 branch very long if we don't encounter problems with
the database version.

Why not? Let's give it a try.

At the very least I could drop off a proposal that would make him aware of NXT, if he isn't already. It's a long shot but you never know. It might be best to wait until NXT is further down the track. I suspect he has his own currency plans but it would be great if he could help out with a New Zealand NXT hub and/or NZ based NXT/Fiat Exchange.

Yes. Making aware is always a good thing.

"Scanning blockchain" takes ages (over 10 minutes).
Is there any way to speed it up?

[marcus03]

I will probably start implementing on 11th, so I won't make it.

worked MUUUCH faster for me than all previous versions...

[Zahlen]

James, how does this affect the status of your VM bounty?

It seems to obsolete it
I think zahlen was the only one who spent time on it
If it is ok with him, i would like to authorize 500 nxt for his troubles

Wasn't any trouble, it was fun revisiting a topic (computability theory) I hadn't worked with for a long time. I'm always ok with more nxt though Thanks a lot!

Earning Nxt with doing something you like is great, isn't it?

It's awesome!
First time getting paid by doing 3D work, the work I like very much.
The rest is very technical for me, but I read all the posts here anyway  

Congrats! Yeah, it's really awesome to get paid with what you're working on. I wonder if this is how folks who get paid in shares feel? (I'm definitely looking forward to when our "shares" take off )

Btw https://i.imgur.com/Bz6KfAv.jpg is amazing! The texture feels textured in this version. I didn't like the marble texture much.

Question:
Is it better to give 5, 10 or 20 Nxt to little good things you see regularly (expecting everyone else to do the same),
or;
Will people think that is insulting for their effort (maybe get pee'd off and stop helping?) so I should save up my Nxt till I see something "WOW!" and give a few hundred?

I've gotten some small donations and one large one. I appreciate them all the same.

Yeah, I wouldn't feel insulted if I were given 1 nxt, I'd appreciate the gesture.

(This is the cue for everyone to start tipping me )

I'd love it if there was a way to include a message along with the tip. This is a given in doge tipping on reddit, since the tip bot works via replying to who you want to tip, should be the same way for a nxt reddit tip bot. Would also be natural thing if a site like a forum could integrate a more general tipping software and API. tipnxt.com already has this feature.
