Sorry, is it you or my headache ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) Could you make an effort to explain your idea a little better? if I'm not wrong? ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) with " forging power of leasing to account to another account to create pools " only node account pool must be active to participate in the forge. With my proposal all nodes accounts must be active to participate in the forge this means; Extremely decentralized network (in the exemple 30.000 Nodes) Small accounts motivated to participate in forging (In the exemple 100 Nxt account is forging every day)
You just have to solve for the fees to be sufficiently attractive. An interesting idea is to pay for other things like leased computing power

OpportunityCan someone develop an Nxt equivalent of Proof of Existence so that NMAC (and other Virtual Corporations) can register itself like this company did on the Bitcoin blockchain? This well written prospectus can also be registered and published using the same method, making it official and "legal”. It gives a greater sense of legitimacy and serves as a show case of how the Nxt ecosystem can provide similar or better safeguards for investors normally enforced through government or centralized means. Great suggestion.

Just talked to bittrex, they have only 86 signups from nxt at the moment.. You should all go and sign up. Go to https://bittrex.com/Account/Register and use SUPPORT_NXT as the invite code. This gets you past the invite code queue. Place some trades, enabled 2FA, or try any of our other features to help us stress the site before the final launch. If you find a bug, we're handing out bug bounties as well. Having a great exchange helps us but also helps the NXT community. also just did 2 more with different email accounts, so I've no 3 accounts there

Okay - after some discussion with CfB and checking out another such simulation I think I can get mine a lot closer to what is "really" going on underneath the hood (of course it is "only a simulation" so it can only be of so much benefit). So this version is 100 years worth of blocks *without log(balance)* but instead with a "random divisor" of your balance to take the place of "time to forge" and now the figures look like this: blocks = 52560000 a: 10 b: 10 c: 10 d: 10 e: 10 f: 50 wins( a ) = 4453471 wins( b ) = 4447734 wins( c ) = 4448973 wins( d ) = 4443112 wins( e ) = 4437624 wins( f ) = 30329086 best_streak( a ) = 7 best_streak( b ) = 6 best_streak( c ) = 7 best_streak( d ) = 7 best_streak( e ) = 8 best_streak( f ) = 31 best_combined_streak = 22 and when run with the 90/10 we now get the following: blocks = 52560000 a: 10 b: 90 wins( a ) = 5361825 wins( b ) = 47198175 best_streak( a ) = 7 best_streak( b ) = 136 Whether this is a good enough approximation to statistically what is going on I am not sure but at least the simulator is no longer using floating point nor "log" (and is giving less skewed results). #include <ctime> #include <cmath> #include <cstdlib>

Confusing words. Do you propose something like this? Instead of leasing forge power, you commit with your account to share fees among others in the same "share fee group" if you forge a node. You still have to try to forge a block on your own, but you commit to share the incentive with others if you are successful. ... Could this be done with AT and would that make sense?

I seem to have a bit of a hard time getting access to 0.8.2e on my raspi.
It seems to running ok, but I don't know how to access the browser interface.
Neither http nor https on any of the ports gets me access.
[2014-02-26 13:02:23.747] Started peer networking server at 0.0.0.0:7874 [2014-02-26 13:02:23.820] Started API server at 127.0.0.1:7876 [2014-02-26 13:02:23.861] Started user interface server at 127.0.0.1:7875 [2014-02-26 13:02:23.901] Nxt server 0.8.2e started successfully.
Maybe I have to modify the ncxt/conf/nxt-default.properties ? I have tried a few possible entries, but apart from the obvious ones, I have no idea:
nxt.allowedBotHosts=127.0.0.1; localhost; 192.168.178.25; 192.168.178.26; 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1;
nxt.allowedUserHosts=127.0.0.1; localhost; 192.168.178.25; 192.168.178.26; 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1; As the start script is: java -Xmx128M -Xmx450M -cp nxt.jar:lib/*:conf nxt.Nxt
Do I maybe have to give an extra reference to the nxt-default.properties?

Another thought (not 100% related to our discussion right now): I say if we don't have mechanisms like penalization, Nxt won't succeed. Trust noone - this is a very important principle. Nxt doesn't rely on trust but solves the problem of trust in another way. It evolves to a system that doesn't care about trust coz everything will be very clear. Transparency extended to absolute leads to inability to cheat thus removing necessity to think if someone should trust another one.
Who cares about transparency, if no mechanism exists which uses this transparency. Anyone?

right (I'm sorry but I'm not a native speaker of English) I do not know how you can implement technically but that's the idea this means; Extremely decentralized network (in the exemple 30.000 Nodes) Small accounts motivated to participate in forging (In the exemple 100 Nxt account is forging every day)
You just have to solve for the fees to be sufficiently attractive. An interesting idea is to pay for other things like leased computing power

Why would anyone who spends that much money to acquire 50% of Nxt, then do anything that will destroy his own wealth?
A good point - and understand that I am not "advocating to do anything" at this stage - just presenting some statistical analysis (something that this project needs to have done before making "claims" about percentages and "safety"). Even with leasing we're generally safe: if some pool actually'll forge bad chain, Nxters'll argee on rollback and don't lease any power to that concrete pool and'll stay aware of leasing so much % to any pool for a long time. Threr's no possibility of rollback in PoW: malicious 51%, game over. But in PoS with leasing, where pools're dominating as forgers, it's pretty doable. And if not a pool, but single forger (insanely rich + crazy; for real we'd care only about social engineering, potential PoX superiors and about Internet health) will successfully attack Nxt, community'll switch to another PoS-coin, may be to even 1:1 clone.

Guys before deciding we need to "go and change" the behaviour of forging we need to properly understand how it currently works so although it's nice that lots of people have creative ideas what would be more helpful is statistical analysis and modelling.
