Is there any specification on the Pooled Forging that you could make available? As in the API call specifically or how it works?

I'm thinking of it, any proposals?

[Fatih87SK]

then how come nobody use them and people don't know about them?

This is actually a fair question. I think the answer is that there are MANY clients, and people generally want a recommendation for ONE. Nobody wants to rally behind one to the exclusion of others, so we arrive at a dilemma.

The key here, sadly, is for the "getting started" tutorials to focus on ONE, and then let people know there are many other options.  Right now, it's a choice paradox: when presented with many great options, people are left unable to make a decision. This is a proven aspect of human behaviour.

Exactly!

I couldn't say it better.

We are too much decentralised if it's about the client.

We need to chose one and make instructions or something. We don't need to call it official.
Just choose one so everyone can post that specific client as first on their website. And if users are interested in other clients, we can redirect them.

It is very confusing right now.

Almost every coin has 1 wallet.

Will you be able/available to do it? Who should be in charge of this?

I was thnking about 2 options:

OPTION 1:

1) High level API call from account "A" to assign/remove right to forge to account "B" as well as split between prize
2) If block is found then prize is split between "A" and "B" according to agreed split
3) If prize cannot be split (because block had 1NXT and we can't have less than 1 NXT in an account) then what?

OPTION 2:

1) High level API call from account "A" to assign/remove right to forge to account "B"
2) If block is found, then account "B" gets the prize

With option 2 then account "A" needs to trust account "B", as there's no guarantee that they will pay back the prize earned

Comments?

ps.: I'll have to be offline for a couple of hours.

If community is to point at one client in particular, I would voted for the simplest opensource equivalent to JL NRS working on windows, mac and linux. I mean a general "client for dummy"! Keep it simple for the mass! If people want more features you always have the possibility to point to a list of more advanced client.

[pinarello]

Maybe mistafreeze and marcus03 could work toghetter to make the 1 click installer!

[EmoneyRu]

we need a one click installer that installs NRS, java client and userfriendly client!

I ask this since december!

one click install for all please! than we can start promotion

Java should not be integrated into Nxt client. No installation that requires admin rights!

Most people at home have admin right. I see this as a non issue.

EDIT: Of course, it would more interesting to not need the admin right.

It works as in option 2.

for mass adoption:

If average joe must even click one time more to install NXT then install BTC, LTC of whatever other coin.... they will install the easiest one.

so forget mass adoption if it is even 1 click more complicated than other coins for installation.

I don't see a problem with a private site basically endorsing only one client to keep it clear for new users.
They could still mention the other ones, but could put one client (doesn't matter to me which) BIG on front, so people will mainly go to that one.
These things don't need to be decided by all people. Site owners can and probably should decide this by themselves.

[pinarello]

Mistafreeze and marcus03,

Do you see any possibility to combine the best of both worlds to 1 installer?

thanks

What average people do;

1. Open Google
2. Search NXT, NXT wallet
3. Click at the first website
4. Download the wallet

Result; NRS wallet appears on their desktop.

5. Cannot install
6. Delete

Aaaaannnd we lost another potential investor in NXT.

So I really think that all the website's should use the same clients.
Maybe even two. One simple client just to make transactions. And another one with full options like AE, Forging, Alias etc.

All I have to do is include his html files in with NRS. It requires no change at all to my installer.

OK,
