NEM (XEM) Official Thread - 100% New Code - Easy To Use APIs

[Parana]

So I read ...thread over thread over thread over website again other website again some big bullshit ...and ended up here. Where guess ...what ? I found more bs. I can't find the end of this ....where is the silver lining in this "Crypto" or how it is?
It says something like : "The fundraising is especially designed to promote fairness and egalitarianism. This is the first funding scheme of this type ever and we believe it is revolutionary in its effort to bring egalitarianism to the crypto industry. "
How is promoting fairness and egalitarianism ? And how raising funds on Bitcointalk with a lausy Google Spreadsheet is revolutionary ?
Can please somebody tell me what the hell is this ?

I interpret this as: Dont let the pups take control of a big part of coin, using methods ( You'll have to find it by yourself somewhere on ournem forum).

Spreadsheet is a very effective way to make a lot of people to have the same information....

you talked about: Silver coins, inbdirectely  about Pups and about the google Spreadsheet thing...

for sure you are angry with something you dont want to tell us!

cos the blockchain is on the server...

If this server is controlled by you then it's the same as in Nxt, I'm interested in the scenario when remove server is controlled by a hacker, can you still harvest there?

As the privites Keys are yours and they are on your computer used to access the remote server, why not? ( you dont send your keys over the network)

So, if you have a full client then you see the whole blockchain and can harvest locally.
If you have a lightweight client then you don't see the whole blockchain and can harvest only by signing data received from remote server(s).
And now imagine that network is sybil-attacked and the attacker can trick you into harvesting on a fork...

easy fix, allow ncc to query multiple nis to ensure that the server your are harvesting on is not on a fork. eigentrust could also play a part but im not sure exactly how it works. from my minimal understanding of it, possible eigentrust could effectively blacklist the node with bad data and stop you from harvesting on it. idk, just thinking that could be a possibility to prevent that.

I can't recognize anything dangerouse.

A "lightweight" client is nothing else than NCC connecting to any NIS (not running locally on your machine, but somewhere else). So you do see the whole blockchain, just with the eyes of another node. You don't have to trust that node, because you don't send him a private key with funds, but just a private key with the importance score of your account with funds. The harvested fees are still not at risk, because they are sent to the "original" account with funds directly.

I really dont see this as a problem... for any kind of transaction, you'll need the passwork to access the wallet locally ( where is the beloved money). you just need to be sure your node is up to date on blockchain.

Probably, after restart the server, the syncing will be enough to make everything work as expected.

This kind of situation will lead you to harvest nothing, cause you are on a paralel chain, and not on the main blockchain, where transactions happens. Unless everyone will be on a parallel blockchain, which is, im my opnion, almost impossible.

Why have i had a transaction made of 6 XEM go out of my account?
I never sent any funds anywhere, it says its an importance transaction, is this think sort of automatic to increase your importance?

You activated delegated harvesting and confirmed to pay a fee of 6 XEM. MAYBE you should read, what you confirm.

I never confirmed to pay anything, i just clicked delegated harvesting and it told me it would take 6 hours, anyway what is the difference between delegated harvesting and local harvesting?

maybe this helps answer the question? Found it on NEM's forums and you can disregard the multisig stuff unless its important to you. (replace "remote harvesting" and "secure harvesting" with "delegated harvesting")

https://forum.ournem.com/technical-discussion/remote-harvesting-2876/msg12704/#msg12704

Actually you could Initiating harvesting be it remote or local is NOT a transaction, it's simply passing
private key to nis server.

So rigel's right.

edit:

There are actually TWO differences.
1) In case of "secure harvesting" fees goes directly to associated account, if you'd like to use multisig account to do that, fees will go there (which is not that bad, as only cosignatory account has access there anyway).
2) In case of "secure harvesting", it's the MAIN account that holds the power and responds for PoI

So basically to summary:
harvesting works by passing (private) SECRET key, to the server
since we wanted to allow harvesting on remote nodes, we've introduced "secure harvesting" (remote harvesting)
secure harvesting works by issuing special transaction, that becomes part of the blockchain, in that transaction, there is information about "remote harvesting account", i.e. search for following transaction in nembex: 4c2a92c19a49914bda6239dcc94e81080fba7f7bdfffea0d42c88a70eefeec53, displayed "Remote PK" is a public key of harvester
secure harvesting works by passing private key of that account to some node, this private key is useless anyway
now, what rigel is suggesting is that, you could create multisig account, and use that account's private key, to do harvesting

From that I ended up getting
"local harvesting" = sending private key of [Account A ] to server.
"delegated harvesting" = sending private key [Account B ] to server.

The fee you explained is the result of the passing of the private key to the nis server. I'm guessing

OK, so the main benefit to me using delegated harvesting is extra security?

You can harvest on remote NIS without risk, yes.

I took into account that a lightweight client talks to several nodes. If a sybil attack is conducted then you will be connecting to rogue nodes in most cases. Let's assume that you managed to find a honest node, what will you do when receive contradicting info? You can't rely on EigenTrust because its data can be faked (sybil nodes will supply evidence of their legitimacy) and you will get contradicting info again.

To date reliable lightweight clients are possible only in PoW cryptocurrencies. If NEM team found a solution for a non-PoW case then it's a breakthrough. But I'm skeptical that they really did.

Remote server may use your harvesting power for double-spending.

My own tutorial

For Linux

1. http://blog.nem.io/mac-installation-guide-standalone/
2. terminal 1 '(path)/package/nix.runNcc.sh'
3. terminal 2 '(path)/package/nix.runNis.sh'
4. wait some seconds
5. go to http://localhost:8989/ncc/web/dashboard.html
6. create a wallet and enter your private key you got previously (if you don't, it is probably over)

Sadly my amount of XEM is: 0! Just before I has 2 250 000 (don't remember if it was XEM or NEMStake

From that I ended up getting
"local harvesting" = sending private key of [Account A ] to server.
"delegated harvesting" = sending private key [Account B ] to server.

The fee you explained is the result of the passing of the private key to the nis server. I'm guessing

Local harvesting = send the private key of the account you are harvesting with to your local NIS.
Delegated harvesting = a new account is generated with zero balance, but importance score of the account for which you activated delegated harvesting. then the private key of that new account is sent to (any) NIS. the harvested fees still go directly to the original account (for which you activated delegated harvesting).

When it says remotley does that mean that i can harvest with my computer off because the remote server is doing it?

correct

[mixmaster]

I can't even install NEM. I feel like I waited more than one year and for what? Nothing. I cannot even install NEM. There is no working Linux installer

This is the standalone version that runs perfectly fine on linux: http://bob.nem.ninja/nis-ncc-0.6.25.zip

Btw: It always helps if people don't just tell "it doesnt work", but tell at least SOME info, what happens.....

Thats pretty cool, but i expect i earn less per block from fees?

You know what silver lining is ? .... What pups to take control ? Are you on drugs ? Sorry to ask that but you seem to interpret in a weird way. Total off, of what I said . I am sorry If it sounds disrespectful by that question . Still I didn't got any answer regarding the egalitarianism when some got this coin for free other paid for it, how is REVOLUTIONARY and game changing the way they raise the funds... how all this are somehow the "perfect" coin ? . Well I dono but it sounds fishy to me. I won't continue to argue since I see a lot of people all charmed up by this coin and since people are becoming fans of something it's hard to get an unbiased answer .
