Nahh,
it is normal for some, so i take ya word for it on yours.

But in some other coins , it would be the sign of a problem, like either a nothing to stake issue or something raising the difficulty too high, so it takes a lot longer to find a new block.

Does Nxt even have something like a difficulty reported anywhere?

Nxt block explorer/monitor:

And, looking here at a recent block:
https://nxtportal.org/blocks/6218805764090835994
Base Target is the Nxt equivalent to difficulty, mid-left on the screen.

Easy way to demo Nxt for yourself with no downloads, by using a random public Nxt node.
Go to:
http://www.peerexplorer.com/
Look at the Peers list, choose a Nxt node/peer with 'Open API', click on its 'Resolved IP'.
On the new page, click 'Action: Open Wallet GUI'.....
This takes you to the client log-in screen for that peer....

Login using either the account number:
NXT-QTSK-NTSG-ANEQ-6ZVQV

or the passphrase:
showmethemoney

And then play around as much as you like.
Please note that this account is totally open, so don't use it for real transactions.
(and note that 'showmethemoney' is the worst passphrase ever...... )

i don't have a good understanding of nxt,

but if this was a standard PoS coin, then it does look like someone is starting their staking which raises difficulty/base target , and then pausing their staking, which causes an increase in block time until another node can stake, and then repeating the process.

Just look at the block numbers and compare difficulty/base target of a few in a row to notice it.
Why they would do that , i have no idea, unless it is a way to forging more often by their node , by playing with the base target.

Anyway, i leave that to ya to sort out.

Small Possibility it could be this, but testing was never completed.

2) Staking weight inflation

I can exploit how NXT works so I will forge more often than I should. I could make 1M NXT forge as often as 2M should. This might allow a 51% attack with only 25%.
I can demonstrate this against others in testnet: make an account with 206K and have it forge. My 206K account with my secret sauce will forge more blocks in the same time (we should let it run for a few days to make sure there is an edge and it's not just luck). I still need to modify the client first and until I test it in practice I don't know exactly how much will the advantage be. Estimations are that I can double my weight.
This can be fixed, and I would give the code used to attack and the idea on how to fix it.

Like i said, i leave it to ya to sort out what is going on with the difficulty.

Slow Day,
why have'nt ya learned to read ya block explorer yet?

Plus the way ya marketcap has been dropping , i may not get the chance to visit later.

A simple bump would have the same effect, and well, would be more honest.
Just IMO.

Plus, read what I quoted, maybe you get the meaning.

See ya!

A simple bump, would have not allowed your pithy response.

Same time next decade.

There are hundreds of innovative DApps being developed for ETH.

For NXT, not so much.

Where could I see the list?

Here are the big ones:

Solidity is move innovative than anything NXT will ever have.

I like how you studiously ignore the rest of the list.  Especially Augur!   

LMK when Imogen Heap releases a new song on NXT...oh wait...my bad, she's actually using ETH.

I don't ignore, I point to flaw in your logic. You said there were millions big projects on Ethereum if I'm not mistaken?

Yes, that's right.  You may view the list at http://forum.ethereum.org/categories/services-and-decentralized-applications

Look, here's one more from a tiny little company called Deloitte.

iCEBREAKER you spoke of hundreds, you deliver 16 - why do you never read what you write 
But let me help you: If you really want to make an impression you should link here http://dapps.ethercasts.com/. Please mind, many of them are still in concept phase, some will never be delivered.
In case you want to point to Nxt-based projects use this link: https://nxtforum.org/nxt-projects/

But I think we get your point, you believe Nxt and Ethereum will have a bright future

LiQio has explained my point. Interesting why you go full denial of reality, is it psychological?

Cant we just ban that troll from our thread, he is clearly offtopic and an ethereum shill.


He is perpetrating a social engineering attack against NXT, a divide and conquer, FUD strategy to mess up this thread and disrupt the conversation.

He has no place here, and should stop messing around with this conversation.
