[ANN] NEX :: Nxt Reimagined - Industrial Strength - Imagine Fairness!

[gbeirn]

Preliminary analysis of Nxt code indicates the following:

Dodgy Code (87 instances)
--> Misuse of static fields - 60 times
Bad Practice (50 Instances)
---> System.exit called 18 times!
Null Pointer Dereference (2)

anyway... total of 588 bugs.

like I said... garbage.

anyway improvements are coming along!

How have you come to such numbers?

[Damelon]

A few questions:

First: I still haven't got an answer to my serious question how you are going to avoid a tech based bias in your distribution.
It seems that people that are less able to do your beta testing or development (for all that I applaud merit based distribution) will almost automatically have a better chance at a bigger stake. Would you please explain if and how you plan to avoid this?

Second, as a Nxt holder (a small one) I seem to be in a better position to acquire NEX. Again, thanks for the advantage, but how does that promote a fairer distribution? I actually earned all my Nxt with bounties, so now I am basically NEX easier because I own Nxt?

Thanks for the answers.

We are professionals.

There are a lot of ways to contribute that goes beyond knowing technology.

Creating graphics,  writing articles,  selling on eBay, ..  it is wide open!  

We don't want want Nxt holders to feel disenfranchised with NEX development so we are offering the opportunity to translate their holdings.   You will have to exchange your Nxt into NEX.   We priced it extremely low so that you have every chance to gain.

We are also giving away coins to VisaCoin holders who were unfairly scammed.  We don't have to do it,  but this would only be fair.

I am definitely interested!

Probably via static code analysis.

SEEKING TESTERS!

We Now have our own CLONE of Nxt and we are seeking people to tests its functionality before we fork the code!

NEX distribution will reward those who contribute.  

Take this opportunity to contribute your talents.

We will upload a link to the Nxt clone shortly!

If this tests perfectly with the Nxt network,  we will be on our way to distributing coins in a FREE and FAIR manner.

i'll give it a go

What is your view on NEX and NXT existing side by side?
I ask this, because the NXT community is committed to NXT, too, and a smart investor doesn't put all his money on one card.
I also ask this because two coins continually fighting each other is basically bad business.

As a last one, because it's a difficult one: I personally dislike the word "fair" in business. I make money because I have skills that others do not have. I also make money because I am willing to put in the effort. There is a real issue also for the NEX community after the IPO closes how it will address the people who will enter after IPO and *will* have to pay more if it is a success.

im interested. do i need to do something else for this charity IPO or does this suffice

TESTERS!

You can find the ALPHA TEST CLIENT here:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/nexcoin/files/Nxt/

It should work like the regular Nxt client.

This is extremely early alpha work, so just send really amounts of Nxt to test.

Download and unzip the NEX client on your computer where you can easily locate it.


Using your command line window, navigate to the folder/directory of the NEX Client.

Start Java from within the directory using the following command:

java -jar start.jar

After you have installed the NEX client and navigated to https://127.0.0.1:7875

yes... but if you want more... then contribute effort

You can either invest in a proprietary rigged coin or you can invest on one that is open and free.

We believe in an open and free process will trump out a proprietary process.

What does it do, how do I make it work?

That's not really an answer, but I'll stop clogging up your thread. You gave me some, and that's OK, too.
I have already shown interest and will continue to follow this thread.

Personally, I think your view on business tends to the naïve, but maybe you'll prove me wrong.

Good luck in what you are trying to achieve

Why does it contain "wallet.dat" string? Does it create wallet.dat to store keys instead of using a secret phrase like Nxt does?

Sounds great - you've got everything planned! You've created a forum thread, generated interest... nothing much left to do now but actually code something better (or more likely, wait until someone else does it for you).

I am also interested.. thx

Do you intend to use the same port i.e. https://localhost:7875/?

If so, on opening the client you can see NXT Peers....
