i was reading some information about fimkryto. i am still wondering what exactly the difference between FimK and Nxt is?
Both share the same code base, right?
The NXT code base is not a static thing, it's evolving at an amazing speed.
There have been other clones of NXT but unlike FIMK they have not (or barely) evolved from their moment of cloning.
Since we have cloned NXT the NXT developers have made thousands of improvements to the code base and all (or most) of these improvements are not in any other NXT clone (including many
critical security updates mind you).
Only FIMK has been steadily keeping up constantly pulling in these changes and merging them with our existing changes, NXT is at
1.5.15 while FIMK is based of
1.5.10 soon to go to 1.5.15 after our coming hard fork.
The difference between FIMK and NXT?
- unique advanced
custom client (built from scratch - not based on NXT client)
- client fully
supports mobile devices-
desktop client available for
Windows, Linux and MacOS (we also support running the client on localhost in your browser)
- our client uses two-way
websocket connections which makes it show network events in
real-time-
websocket event based client API added to the server
- in addition to the brain wallet we support a
wallet.dat file for your keys (which is compatible with all clients on all platforms)
-
namespaced aliases (similar to NXT aliases but aliases are unique
per account)
- FIMK pays
block rewards that halve every 800K blocks
- custom testing framework that allows us to write javascript tests to automate testing server features
- added the new
gossip protocol (allows free decentralized real-time two-way - push/pull - communications between any two parties in the world)
- on this gossip protocol a first thing we made was the
free decentralized chat feature, we expect to built more application on top of the gossip protocol
- ....
Not sure if i listed everything?
We also make NXT+ (
http://fimkrypto.github.io/nxt-plus-site/) which is standard NXT but with the added websocket API to make it work in our client (which also supports NXT btw) it's site describes what was added, those additions are also in FIMK.
We are planning on doing a hard fork in the coming weeks which will bring online some other features we have been developing.
-
new account id system, you no longer use FIM-XXX-XXX as your address but
your-name@fimk.fi (which will be a working address btw)
-
private assets (extension of the Asset Exchange see:
https://nxtforum.org/asset-exchange/private-assets-for-use-in-financial-institutions/)
Going to NXT 1.5 means FIMK will also get the following NXT features (not available in any of the other clones).
- prunable messages
- fast websocket connection support for the peer server
- monetary system
- voting system
- etc etc.
What should bring me to sell my Nxt and buy FimK?
Not sure if you should do that.
Since I'm also working with the NXT developers on NXT 1.7 (which gives me access to the private development source code) I would
advise not to sell your NXT.
The NXT team has some amazing talent and some amazing new features are on their way.
We have a blog (
http://fimkchat.com/) that describes a lot of what i've listed here.
And of course we have cool T-Shirts for sale on our decentralized market place.
