NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information

[Come-from-Beyond]

Does it mean that in order to see when the account will forge the next block we need to call  startForging over and over again?
Do we need to call  startForging  every few seconds lets say in order to have real time forging deadline estimate?

No * 2

[wesleyh]

How often should one check this? What does a negative number mean? Can <= 0 be ignored?

Also, how do you (the server) determine a client is really forging, do you just check if it's online and responding to peer requests and that's it?

It's updated each time u invoke startForging or a new block forged, I suppose. The code is written by Jean-Luc, I might be wrong.

U can't determine if a client is forging, server does it.

But "forging" really just means "being connected to the network" right? There's not really a difference between a person that has connected but not called the startForging() api, and one that has? Except that the first one is included in the chance to get the next block forged.

very good! based on a subset of luajit or a new design?

We are still in the very early stage at the moment so no decision has been yet made although we are likely to go down the path of creating a "low-level" assembly language 1st and then perhaps adding a "higher level" language above that later (it is much easier to "control" things such as "fees per step" if you use a very "low-level" language as the basis).

very cool, would add many nice features.

ps: just to mentioned, perhaps HLA could be an additional resource. (http://www.plantation-productions.com/Webster/)

i like this coin... but its very complicated to set it..

Hey CIYAM... please create a thread with a catchy title for the project you'll be leading!   

Not sure if it is "catchy" enough but https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=463731.0

what were the results of all us posting which min fee we wanted?  Did .1 or .01 get the most?

and if .1 got the most votes, then i guess when it gets implemented, then I think that the lowest NXT about to be specified will be .01, which is less than the lowest fee.

I don't see 7.0.4 on the main page with a sha256 sum next to it....

Hey, I didn't know about that feature. Thanks!

Nxt prices going up, quick, more supply stakeholders! dont let it bubble up!

this is gonna be very good time to distribute nxt to the ppl

Here's my Nxt client, still in development, you may find some bugs, but wanted to show off this version:
http://nxtra.org/nxt-client/

As you'll see it's a web client. It is my hope that this might one day replace the official NRS web client now seen at http://localhost:7874 but that is up to Jean-Luc and CFB to decide.

I will be making a 1 click installer for linux/windows/mac later on as well.

Really like this client. Would like this one to be included in the official package. With an installer it would be very profesional and Nextcoin would be so much easier to use than it is currently. Nice work!

Where can I download the GUI for the decentralised exchange and get some TEST NXT?

yup the price started going up yesterday-ish. Started around the 6900 range went to stabilize mid 7000 range, then boosted up again today to the 7600+ range.

@ Client devs

I'm refactoring Voting System code, it will be added to test version next week. FYI.

[FandangledGizmo]

Really glad to hear the NXT fee is coming down! NXT will definitely be the the most fair system out there!
(Considering there is also no inflation, unlike Bitcoin's +-10% inflation which is paid to miners + you often incur a minimum fee that is already higher than the current NXT fee!) This will also rapidly increase adoption along with the simple install clients!


I think in the long term there should be a formula for devising the fee, which should be a % of the transaction (0.5%?) but with a min and max fee that maybe track something relating to the gold price. (If the min fee is set in NXT it will become more expensive as NXT gets more valuable. If the min fee is set in $, the fee will get cheaper over time, but linking it to gold might keep it fairly balanced.)

I'm a +1 for the 0.1 NXT fee for the time being

Hi NXTers!

NXT's greatest competitor seem to be Ethereum. It's main feature that NXT still lacks is scripting, which is a wonderful idea (along with it's risks of course) - kudos to Vitalik and his team for bringing this up!

Because I want NXT to be competitive and because this is a great feature on it's own, I decided to personally fund a team led by CIYAM and CfB (as long as he is with us), to implement this technology in NXT too!

The code will be open sourced when the feature is finished and extensively tested.
We will use a private github repo if others want to easily review the source during development.

Let the good times roll!

Damn that is good news.

Well... that's why I told you to create it... mine would have been something like...

Ethereum Turing-complete... SAY WHAT?!?!?   NXT Scripts done first...  S*** IT!!!    

Haha smaragda we think alike - I had a similar title in mind

It's not finished yet. I didn't put the links in it because I don't know how we will promote them, which is really open source and who's client gets a separate homepage.

If you have any ideas or suggestions for this site: PM me or write here.

I'm no pro web designer but donations are welcome.

Change in plans? AE and VS before April?
