This is how I see it: I use blockchain.info and I love it. But I don't store all my bitcoins there. I like to spread the bitcoins in 3 or more different baskets, the more I trust a basket the more bitcoins I put there. My offline wallet has the most.
I think it's the same with NXT. For a newbie, that just wants to start using NXT, I think the online wallet is perfect. If you own several thousand or million NXT, I would not recommend putting all of it in the same place, be it the online wallet or a single NXT NRS wallet.
But you could put some in the online wallet in case you need to use them on the go, or at work, etc.. this is how I am going to use it myself.
Excellent points. I would like to mention that a trustless newb-friendly online wallet is overkill. |

What i am saying is: your project is very nice, but if you altered your project to a blockchain.info type thing it would be uber-awesome. That a coldstorage solution is needed is not even debatable! Okay. Let's pause this discussion for a while. I will think about the browser side encryption a bit more. In the end of the day, I want to make something that people will use. |

Since you keep referring back to that stackexchange link, some quotes from the man himself:
Quote
As everything is done using javascript in the site is particularly vulnerable to browser exploits including malicious browser extensions. Modern web browsers are much more secure than the internet explorer 6 generation.
Quote
If our servers were compromised the attacker could theoretically alter the javascript files to intercept the users password next time they login. For this to be effective the attack would have to go unnoticed for an extended period of time.
10 Immutable Laws of Security.
Law #1: If a bad guy can persuade you to run his program on your computer, it's not solely your computer anymore.
Law #2: If a bad guy can alter the operating system on your computer, it's not your computer anymore.
Law #3: If a bad guy has unrestricted physical access to your computer, it's not your computer anymore.
Law #4: If you allow a bad guy to run active content in your website, it's not your website any more.
Law #5: Weak passwords trump strong security.
Law #6: A computer is only as secure as the administrator is trustworthy.
Law #7: Encrypted data is only as secure as its decryption key.
Law #8: An out-of-date antimalware scanner is only marginally better than no scanner at all.
Law #9: Absolute anonymity isn't practically achievable, online or offline.
Law #10: Technology is not a panacea. What is Two-Channel Auto-Type Obfuscation? The Auto-Type feature of KeePass is very powerful: it sends simulated keypresses to other applications. This works with all Windows applications and for the target applications it's not possible to distinguish between real keypresses and the ones simulated by Auto-Type. This at the same time is the main disadvantage of Auto-Type, because keyloggers can eavesdrop the simulated keys. That's where Two-Channel Auto-Type Obfuscation (TCATO) comes into play. TCATO makes standard keyloggers useless. It uses the Windows clipboard to transfer parts of the auto-typed text into the target application. Keyloggers can see the Ctrl-V presses, but do not log the actual contents pasted from the clipboard. Clipboard spies don't work either, because only parts of the sensitive information is transferred on this way. Anyway, it's not perfectly secure (and unfortunately cannot be made by theory). None of the currently available keyloggers or clipboard spies can eavesdrop an obfuscated auto-type process, but it is theoretically possible to write a dedicated spy application that specializes on logging obfuscated auto-type. Enter Master Key on Secure Desktop (Protection against Keyloggers) Note: KeePass was one of the first (maybe even the first) password manager that allows entering the master key on a secure desktop! KeePass 2.x has an option (in 'Tools' -> 'Options' -> tab 'Security') to show the master key dialog on a secure desktop (supported on Windows ≥ 2000), similar to Windows' User Account Control (UAC). Almost no keylogger works on a secure desktop. The option is disabled by default for compatibility reasons. KeePass 2.x Only Note that auto-type can be secured against keyloggers, too, by using Two-Channel Auto-Type Obfuscation. In an effort to help this brilliant idea is nxt summarize my experience with the problem of security and key management. first thing I did is get off free keepass program after analyzing several programs , being an open source program and enjoy a high reputation as a program. then after reading a lot about the key generation choose to use absurd and nonsensical phrases formed by not less than 50 characters memorize words and 2 phrases from roughly 50 characters for the master password kee pass . Install the plugin otpkeyprov keepass password and activate two factors to open kee pass with google authenticator in my android phone. the first 50 characters of a sentence and the second sentence of 48 characters to activate google autenthicator 48 characters and match the standard b32 . the advantage of two-factor master password is nobody can not make all phishing password . Within keepass generate passwords you want including accounts of nxt ( nxt also advise to memorize words and not less than 50 characters consisting of nonsensical words ) Enable tools options " change master key in a secure desktop " every time you open your account using automatic writing nxt Enable automatic writing on the flap of each password " Obfuscation 2 channel automatic writing" I hope you can help with these tips. in any case you can write me for any questions in kee pass and handle the "plug in" otpkeyprov . Finally the technique of two-factor authentication for nxt client passwords would be a good option against phishing . I leave it open to discussion forum . |

Just a quick update for those not following the other thread: Nxtopia bounty has broken the 20,000 NXT mark after receiving our latest donation from msin. -- Nxtopia -- MMORPG built on-top of the NXT networkcurrent bounty: 20,500 NXT5000 - jl777 1000 - swartzfeger (Transaction id: 12550164158045962834) 3000 - chanc3r (Transaction id: 5658009271669858297) 1000 - MyZhre (Transaction id: 8826881503135433086) 3000 - Damelon (Transaction id: 17094914052077797717) 1000 - DrearyUrbanite (Transaction id: 5539495976647418930) 1000 - brooklynbtc (Transaction id: ) 0500 - rdanneskjoldr (Transaction id: 91193539943795488) 5000 - msin (Transaction id: ) This is an opportunity to support an online game that leverages many of Nxt's advanced features, one of the highlights being a user-driven crafting economy. Donations can be sent to 13776816462073143763; please include tx id so I can include it when updating this post and making it easier for James to keep track of incoming transactions. We're also considering implementing a kickstarter-style tier system for bounty donators. These would be cosmetic rewards that wouldn't be available after game launch. Something like: 10 NXT - badge 100 NXT - cap 1000 NXT - cape 10000 NXT - beta access (?) Depending on how we handle character death/respawning, these items may be also confer a quicker resurrection. How about an ingame auction house like WOW, but the ingame(atleaset in the auction house) currency is milli NXT or something? I think you will get banned for that in many MMOS  ... real cash to items is banable in most of games expetialy in Blizzard games. Yes, but now WE CAN do that. No one here to swing the banhammer Better anyway is using ebay and buy whole accounts. There you have reputation for traders some kind of safety is there,anyway world of MMORPGs is full of scammers. Luckily, the game's asset trading is secured through the NXT Asset Exchange. In order to get scammed, the attacker would have to get past the NXT network. |

I am, with these guys. At least, I want to start offering apparel and other simple things ASAP once they provide me with some work. This is a different thing from their branding assignment, as I want this to coincide with the payment system I am also pushing to be developed. The apparel thing is my own project with them. The branding is for the whole community. Would you be open to cooperation?  Cooperation? We can always talk about working together! Where are you located? I am from the Netherlands. Stiekem best veel Nederlanders hier. lol jullie zijn buren |

You told us that in case of an invalid alias transaction, you need to rollback and rescan the complete blockchain again. Couldn't it be possible to force that rescan over and over again?

ANNOUNCEMENT! Asset Exchange is a great tool, but will not succeed without service providers. The most important question is… How to get legal FIAT out of the IPO?Let me explain the IPO process using Nxt´s Asset Exchange through our example:We have a limited liability company (ltd) in Austria with financial reports for the last two years which is accessible online. The owners are known; we will try to provide a reasonable business plan and are ready to attend Q&A sessions so we can wave away all doubts. We are planning to pay dividends regularly to our investors depending of income. We are not a startup, but for this project, we will need another office, new developers, and a lot of things related to the daily job which we can´t (yet) pay with Bitcoin or Nxt, so we will definitively need FIAT to make those purchases. We need legal FIAT that the company can spend. I am pretty sure that after the story with Visacoin (and all the other scammers) most of us will only invest in companies/projects of well-known community members, where the transparency is given, so you know whom you are lending your money. And they will also need a gateway to get legal FIAT out of the IPO. I decided to consult a tax advisor, a business consultant and a professional offshore consultant to get an overview about the possibilities. And I am more than thrilled about the news I got. My offer:There are several ways for a company to get FIAT out of crypto, paying only a reasonable amount of tax. But all the ways are going through a special company (with special license) that is made for this purpose. There are professionals who know how to set things up in a LEGAL way, without risks. Sure, we need to pay (a reasonable amount of) taxes, but for that, we can have a good night´s sleep without the risk of getting busted for money laundering, tax evasion or something similar. We can have our own company, earn money by charging handling and transaction fees, AND help the community to grow and evolve. I am looking for a well-known community member to team up with to found this special company. I am a member of the community since the end of November and am ready to meet in person, wherever we can arrange it. This is a big opportunity, I think, but I can´t do it alone. I need someone to brainstorm with, to share the ideas, the work, the responsibility, the win and of course the risk of this investment. Setting up a company (anonymously, so our name will not be linked to it) will cost 15 000 Euro (around 33 BTC or 350 000 Nxt) INCLUDING all costs for setting up the company in the Seychelles, all the consultants fees, and all other connected costs for the first year. From the second year on, the maintenance costs will be around 6000 Euro + an annual turnover tax of 1.5%. Setting up the same company not anonymously would cost 10 000 Euro. We will be able to help to convert crypto to FIAT, and also to pay the dividends (in a legal way in FIAT) to the investors through our company if the startup doesn´t want to bother with this. Something similar to what Havelock Investment is doing, except, that we will not look for projects and attract investors, as this will be done using Nxt´s Asset Exchange. We step in once the funding was successful and the desired amount of investment was raised by the community. I´ve already spent around 500 Euros on consulting with the above mentioned guys, so I am very serious about this, but will not start the project alone, just to make this clear. I will be in Moscow this Friday till Monday and will be in New York in the end of March if someone would like to discuss this in person. |

please add me back to the one in Nevada. And if no one else wants to step up to assist rickyjames in Austin, I will for that one as well In Berlin Salsa got us a discount on "TBC Sponsor" at $1000 (instead of $2500). Good job negotiating, there, Salsacz! Asian Prepper is flying in for TBC and also has a friend in Austin with a entrance pass of his own. So I have put in the names for one pass for me and the other for AP. I think I am getting a slot in a Alt-coin discussion panel that is still being organized. I think we are good to go on Austin. Plus, I am working on a little surprise for Austin that I'll probably unveil here by the weekend.... |
