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?

I heard the blockchain from the recommended client can sometimes get corrupted, so I want to back it up by making a copy of it. If it gets corrupted I want to delete the old blockchain folders and replace them with the backups. Then I would only have to sync from the point in time that I made a backup.

Backing up the %appdata% NXT folder should suffice I guess.

Thanks, I'll give it a go.

Nxt Whitepaper
https://www.dropbox.com/s/cbuwrorf672c0yy/NxtWhitepaper_v122_rev4.pdf

I am looking forward to reading this but the font is a bit screwy and non-standard... Can someone re-PDF it using a different font, please?

I am encouraged to see signs that NXT is maintaining life.

[TwinWinNerD]

is it me or nxt forum is down at the moment?

Down for me too. Hope it is up soon, need to check some stuff soon! #addicted

[Daedelus]

It's up for me.

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

BTER.com, secureae.com, multigateway, coinmat all seem secure to me.

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,

Please supply me with correct information, since I do not have access to the beta code.  I will correct the whitepaper.

Is the whitepaper versioned to match the NRS?

Can you change the font too? Needs to be more standard.

Once the crypto world learns what is going on with the Nxt tech tree and what has already happened with the decentralized trading multigateway exchange and the asset exchange, its going to flip.

Congrats on all the hard work guys. These next 6 months are going to be amazing and the people that get on the bandwagon now are going to be very happy.

Yeah I can not believe this coin hasn;t already taken off. The AE is amazing as well. I unfortunately am broke and can;t invest much more, but NXT is really the only thing here innovative, active, and real. Aaazing AMAZING work to everyone involved.

Well, it has taken off - the fact that it has occupied the #3 coin market cap position for most of the last few months is testimony to that. However, its the only coin that has the infrastructure and eco-system to overtake Litcoin's market cap in the near future. As Litecoin is also at a near term low, we are looking at probably a 6-8x increase in value to overtake Litecoin in the next 6 months.

This is more than a possibility at this time. Nxt is developing on several fronts, not the least of which is establishing a professional PR and marketing branch to create a presence in main stream media. With Bitcoin primed to bubble again in the next 6 months, the top non-bitcoin coins will have a real chance to ride the wave of enthusiasm and press. No other coin will have such a strategic and structured PR arm ready to ride that wave (or create its own if Bitcoin's next bubble gets delayed).

What a lot of crypto enthusiasts on BitcoinTalk forget is how small this forum (albeit important now) is to the rest of the world. The multigateway, instant transactions, asset exchange and other tech coming quickly down the pipeline will reach far beyond the small world of crypto today.

The great thing is that today - right now - Nxt has so much to offer in the ways of promoting and growing alt coins. The multigateway literally can give this community what it has been begging for - true decentralization, practical free trading, and anonymity. No more Mintpal or Poloniex. Now you can trade your favorite coin for free, privately and quickly.

Please supply me with correct information, since I do not have access to the beta code.  I will correct the whitepaper.

It's pretty simple.

The key exchange is done with ECDH ( Elliptic curve Diffie–Hellman)  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic_curve_Diffie%E2%80%93Hellman

This is one of they key property of curve25519. It allows two parties that  both have public–private key pair to agree on a shared secret key.

 byte[] dhSharedSecret = new byte[32];
  Curve25519.curve(dhSharedSecret, myPrivateKey, theirPublicKey);

Messages are compressed (zip?) and then encrypted (after hashing the shared secret)  with AES/CBC http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_cipher_mode_of_operation#Cipher-block_chaining_.28CBC.29

It was pretty simple code posted on Nxtforum by Drevil

We should not be promoting it until it's even more simpler to use. Last time I checked user had to unzip it to correct directory or something like that. That's unacceptable user experience.

[TwinWinNerD]

what? this non-existent 'coin' is still here?

Still here, still place 3 of ALL coins (ripple is more a system than a coin).

What exactly is it, that you dislike about NXT?  Initial distribution? The lack of POW?
