I came across someone today who thought Nxt didn't have a whitepaper so just wanted to bump that...

Nxt has a whitepaper! And a paper that describes the Math of Forging written by a retired Maths Professor. And others and lots of articles

Check them out below

I looked at the whitepaper, scrolling down to 2.5.1 Encryption Algorithm and it's already wrong/outdated.

Nxt uses ECDH for key exchange and AES for encrypting messages between users. That's how it's done in the upcoming beta version, and messages can be attached to all transactions just like Nem

Great, I've let Joefox know >>>> https://nxtforum.org/nxt-whitepaper/completely-revamped-nxt-whitepaper-draft/msg72059#msg72059


But I think idea was just to represent Nxt in its current form (i.e. economic clustering isn't in yet IIRC) so gets updated with each new release.


Keep going

There is no message encryption in the current version.

Guys:
Just ran across this:

Hey everyone,

We have had quite a bit of interest in our Coin Representative program thus far, but we still need more participation.  At this point, we have Representatives from over 10 currencies, and some currencies actually have up to 3 representatives (which will likely be our limit).

Coin Brief's Coin Representative program is a system we are building to give members of the various digital currency communities a voice to present the positive points, advances, technical details, news, etc. about their currency of choice.  Coin Brief's staff is working to cover as many currencies as we can, with a focus on Bitcoin, but it would be impossible for us to adequately understand, explain, and write about every digital currency that exists.

If you would like to be a representative for a digital currency, and are an active member of that community, or just would like to know more about the Coin Representative program, please check out these pages:

If anyone has any questions, or would like to apply, please contact me on here via PM or email Coin Brief at contact@coinbrief.net

Anyone who isn't me or Damelon want to check this out/sign up as NXT representative?

Coming in next release.....probably Friday.

I know, in that case encryption algorithm in white paper is wrong. Nxt never implemented that version. It was changed to ECDH for key exchange and AES for encryption,

joefox already is doing this

Just looking through some old threads and found this that made me lol  

Charlie Lee, creator of litecoin, learning about NXT

It was taken at the Texas bitcoin conference earlier in the year, seems like a long time ago now...  

That one is really cool! 

 

That's Good , Charlie lee is a good person ! Maybe he will  buy some nxt xD

[wylde_oner]

New person here so bear with me, But what do you guys think is the safest way of purchasing NXT?

If you want to buy with fiat check https://www.ccedk.com/

Young but smooth exchange.

This is awesome. Now when someone tries to make up BS about NXT related math, we can point to this paper!

If you have either...

USD
EUR
GBP
SEK
NOK
DKK
CHF


then you can go from those currencies to Nxt in one step. It is new so you may find there aren't enough orders to get the amount you want. Just put your orders in and I'll drum up some people to sell to you  

You can then hold them on the exchange and do nothing. Or create and account and move the NXT there. I am told you can do this here:  http://www.secureae.com/ but I have never tried it myself (it is trustworthy in that Wesley, the main client developer, created the front end for the website so your password never leaves your comupter).

N.B you can also buy with BTC and LTC if you have it.

I got this message in PM from a shy Nxter  I'm not up on this (NxtWallet) so could someone answer? This rings a bell as a known bug to me that will be fixed in the next update but there is a work around...

I've got NXT wallet 1.2 and NRS version 1.1.4
When I open the wallet I get the prompt to upgrade as follows ..
"A new version of the client 1.1.6 is available"
When I 'click' OK ..
" The hash of the downloaded update doen not equal the one
supplied by the blockchain .. Aborting update"

The wallet ( as is ) works fine ..
I have NXT under two addresses and they're both forging ..
I've also got NXT on an exchange that I was planning to import to the wallet ..   

Should I just delete and uninstall the NXT wallet from my local computer
and start all over with a 'clean' install of the latest NRS and client ??
( I originally used the 'one click' install client for windows when i first started with NXT )

or

Am I OK to just carry on as I am ??

[salsacz]

I had the same issue, just install and use a new version from here: http://nxtra.org/nxt-wallet/

[Triffin]

I had the same issue, just install and use a new version from here: http://nxtra.org/nxt-wallet/

Thanks .. that's the site where I got my original ( current ) wallet from ..
Delete the old version first or does the new version download on top of the old ( current ) one ??

Triff ..

How do I make a backup of the blockchain from the recommended client?

You don't. What is it that you are trying to do exactly?
