EXO and Nxt are great coins - sorry

[cryptonaut]

Instead of continuing to troll Nxt, I decided to do some research to be more informed on my attack campaign. What I discovered was an amazing project and community.

It came down to me being butthurt that I missed out on the original offering by BCnext. But I realized that it is still early days. We're equivalent to the $1 days in BTC right now in Nxt. We missed the cents days but there is still profit to be had.

Yes for websites/ games whatever. But you would not create a worldwide decentralized monetary system in java. I bet some school kids put it together after class and put it on bitcointalk as a joke. Too bad some people took it seriously.

Enjoy your crap while it lasts because all of those java crap coins will die once people are introduced to EXO (Master Race). Finally I can enjoy military grade security for my investment UNLIKE Nxt. I haven't slept for months thinking someone is going to hack my insecure Nxt account.

I think TimeKoin proves that to be incorrect;) I'm not going to argue one coin over another, but I do think having a Java dependency adds complexity, AND it adds a very undesirable attack vector on a machine that is used to store someone else's money. It's the reason we're working with the I2P team on i2pd to allow Monero to use i2p without the Java dependency - the additional attack vector is hugely undesirable.

All you have to do is exploit the easy, obvious weaknesses and terrible flaws in NXT and POS in general that are repeated endlessly and you will be able to claim a big chunk of the Nxt market cap. Easy money folks! So... on your, marks, set..... GO!!!

Re: Will EXO destroy Nxt, NEM, Node aka java crap?

When I saw you lump node in with Java, I pretty much knew you have no idea what you're talking about. Node is javascript, not java. And as far as performance, node beats everything else when it comes to comparing the amount of transactions you can process for the same amount of resources (assuming you know what you're doing). Course, unless you're doing something centralized, it wouldn't really be needed, but the fact is that node.js is the "future" for a lot of things on the net.

NODE (the coin), as well as I think Crypti are both being developed using node.js.. There is a link to the wiki page on NODE for info on node.js.. But yeah, both coins could probably do a lot more to provide details about what it is and why they're using it.

PayPal - "Node.js powers our web applications and has allowed our teams to move much faster in bringing their designs to life."

Ebay - "Node’s evented I/O model freed us from worrying about locking and concurrency issues that are common with multithreaded async I/O."

Cex.io - "We use node.js in high-load applications with complex run-time logic. Due to its asynchronous architecture node.js gives vast possibilities"

Linkedin - "On the server side, our entire mobile software stack is completely built in Node. One reason was scale. The second is Node showed us huge performance gains."

And I could go on.

Why do you keep deleting my posts in the self moderated thread here? >>>> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=716818.0

You have deleted 6 already. What's wrong, afraid of some reasoned arguements? 


Here is a sample:

The BTC can be viewed by anyone to see which amounts were donated and when for the original 21BTC that has been collected. You failed to mention James also said that more than half of the initial stake has been sold off.

I have seen you continuously attempting to create the idea that Nxt has kept secrets, that the distribution is dark  But the facts are, you can track the BTC donations on the BTC blokchain before Nxt was launched. The Nxt blockchain shows the accounts who got what and where it has been since. This 'revalation' of yours holds no weight, the initial distribution and movement of Nxt since is completely transparent by design.

Do we have any proof for any of your other claims? Did you know that satoshi owns more than 80% of all accounts of all cryptos and he created more than 100% of every coin? It is on a forum so it must be true.

If you have great facts let's see them. Colaboration would be obvious and easy to track in the blockchain, all transactions are recorded and linked. Please post the links showing this colloboration. *posted with and without a plug for MGW at the end*

But exo is using udp for transmission, not the best thing to use for reliability.

Actually nothing wrong with UDP. TCP is more reliable of course but UDP is faster and more efficient in query-response, broadcasting or tunneling scenarios. The only issue is the more exposure for the underlaying layers, so error checking and correction should be implemented in EXO, but ECC on the top of UDP can be done on many ways.

Indeed Java is better for financial apps as it's easier to write safer code. No pointers to arbitrarily access memory, no buffer overruns, bound checking, etc.  C++  is is better choice for apps that require faster start up and native integration.  

Faster start up is totaly irrelevant for server apps that start once and run for weeks/months without shutting down. Native integration is not needed either. Funny to watch Exo having difficulty releasing linux version. Had he used Java instead, it would have been platform independent. There is absolutely no reason to write crypto (server side)   in C++. It's a bad choice for the job.  

It's fine to write crypto clients in C++, and indeed anyone can write Nxt client in C++ for Windows. The client interacts with server (written i Java) . On the client side faster start up and native integration with GUI would be more desirable.

All valid points. Provided the code is secure, I think whether it's written in C++ or Java is a moot point. Both languages have their respective strengths and weaknesses. C++ offers speed, but at the expense of being more vulnerable. I've coded in both languages, and personally I find Java cumbersome and verbose, but it is safer.

Personally, I prefer C++ as a language, but that's as a programmer, not an end-user.

Java is interpreted, not compiled; it's under the control of Oracle Corporation. It's probably fine for a prototyping language and for quick interactive demos. But it does add a layer of complexity, which slows things down (not a huge problem with today's hardware) and creates another failure point. Silly peasant vs. master race rants aside, it does not strike me as the wisest choice to implement a wallet in java.

Java is compiled, there is an implementation of java which basically exists because other corporations need a not-Oracle java, absolutely not under Oracle control, it has a very cumbersome syntax and culture for prototyping, and has approximately the same complexity as the C++ runtime.

How's EXO doing, anyway?  This disinterred thread is the first I've heard of it.

And what's wrong with java? Why do you think that c++ is better for a crypto coin?

Java is interpreted, not compiled; it's under the control of Oracle Corporation. It's probably fine for a prototyping language and for quick interactive demos. But it does add a layer of complexity, which slows things down (not a huge problem with today's hardware) and creates another failure point. Silly peasant vs. master race rants aside, it does not strike me as the wisest choice to implement a wallet in java.

You must be trolling.

Please everyone, let this ridiculous thread die.

That's because any idiot with 6 months training can churn out simple Java apps...
But it takes a university education... and many years of experience to be a competent C++ engineer.

Decentralized java crypto platform, like NXT, isn't exactly a simple Java app, and if it lacked security, someone would have broken it already

It has only been around for 6 months, give it time. If a hacker wants to attack a coin are they going to try to tackle a coin with military grade security (EXO) or noob grade security (Nxt).

It WILL happen. It is just a matter of when.

Correction there, comes November 24th Nxt will be celebrating 1 year. So its 12 months in existence. If someone CAN hack nxt, they would have done it already. All the big account holders is open for anyone's view.

So... keep talking..

Java is compiled as bytecode and run by JVM. It's not just oracle, there are also other VMs, including Open JDK, which is open source. It doesn't add  another "layer of complexity". It adds more security and versatility (Same compiled bytecode behaves exactly same on Windows, Linux, Mac; you can't always say that about C++ apps, making it less secure).    It's much harder to write secure C++ applications, especially due to things like pointers that arbitrarily access memory and buffer overruns. It's much easier to miss bugs in C++ applications. It's much harder to fix bugs in C++ applications, even if you know there is a bug.  Vast majority of server side apps are written in Java. That includes almost all banks,, amazon, ebay. There is really no reason to write crypto in C++ as you don't need native integration with operating system and faster startups, two things that C++ does better.

I am pretty sure C++ is absolutely worst choice for crypto. Python is probably the best (Electrum?).

Just so: “PyBC Generic Blockchain Library (and coin!)” https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=252152.0

And, to lay down a nominal scale for one dimension: the main characterisation in this XKCDforum post http://forums.xkcd.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=108685 seems broadly accurate in terms of speed of general-purpose processing:

Tier 1 (fast-fast): C++, C, Ada, Fortran, ATS.
Tier 2 (fast): Java, LuaJIT, Julia, Haskell, Scala, Ocaml, C#, Go, Common Lisp (SBCL), Rust, Pascal, F#.
"Fringe" (fast-ish): Clojure, Racket, JavaScript (V8 and others), Dart, PyPy.
Tier 3 (intermediate): Erlang HiPE.
Tier 4 (slow): Erlang, PHP, Smalltalk (VisualWorks), Lua, Perl, CPython, Hack, Ruby.
Tier 5 (very slow): R, Matlab, Octave.

Some interesting angles in KnightExemplar's insightful response of an alternative and very plausible framing of Tier 0 and Tier 1 as specialised and hardware languages respectively: http://forums.xkcd.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=108685#p3575512 - but unlikely to be news to those of a mining persuasion.

Scaling a p2p architecture to support serious mass adoption is going to be fun.

Your posts show me, that you didn't understand crypto yet. A coin is a protocol and not a software and much less depending on a language. You can rewrite the protocol with any language and use the same blockchain as long as you follow the same protocol.

Every serious coin will have multiple softwares in different languages. Security for the blockchain will not depend on the used software or language, as all participants are checking everything multiple times. So if one of the software programs has a security issue, all others will compensate that until it is fixed.

The main reason, why people are using java, is that you don't have to compile it on every OS again and again. Write once, run everywhere.
If you write in C or C++ you have to compile on windows, mac and linux. Even different linux may require some fixes, before you can actually compile the code.

This is so true. C++ is hell to compile on Windows vs Linux.
It's a handicap to use C++ if you want multiple OS.

EXO is a true next generation coin built in C++11, it is more secure and it is FAIR. Don't joke yourself, no financial institution will take any java coin seriously. The big guns have arrived children.

who do you think I stole money from?

the crime of theft has a VICTIM.  Who is the victim?

do you think anyone cares what you rent-a-trolls have to say about coin X or developer Y?

no one cares, and guess what?  your product- PROFESSIONAL TROLLING, is WORTHLESS.  get a real job.

WHO DO YOU BELIEVE WAS ROBBED?


btw- anyone reading this thread can clearly see this person is not willing to answer this very simple question.  Why?  Why wouldn't he want to state who was robbed?  because no one was robbed.  because Jl777 paid him to promote this idea that I committed a crime, along with Edward DeLeon Hickman.  Just yet another example of how worthless these sources of information are.

This obfuscation again...  Point out where anyone has ever said you sold NxtAutoDAC?

The sale of NxtAutoDAC asset /= accepting payment for work you never did. You are trying to conflate two separate and different issues again, the same as you did the same the first days after destroying the asset you were promoting days before with signed PGP messages.


We know you believe the sale of all crypto assets are illegal under the laws of your country. And it is irrelevant to the 1 million Nxt you received.

We also know you took payment of 1million Nxt (and 300,000 NxtAutoDAC assets) to develop products that would pay dividends through the NxtAutoDAC asset (VCorps you can be seen promoting was to be the first). You never did this.

When you are called out on *not doing the work you were paid to do*, the closest thing to a response is the above "I didn't sell any NxtAutoDAC". And you think people will be satisfied by this?


Do you deny 1 million Nxt was deposited in your account, the same one you used to issue your own altchain.org asset? If you don't deny this, how do you explain it arriving there? Where is the 1 million Nxt now?



I do not expect an answer to this. BM doesn't answer questions on this as it would harm his continued obfuscation, hoping to convince those who are just passing through and aren't interested enough to discover the facts that he is some kind of victim and has some credibility left intact.


Bluemeanie treats this article as an opinion piece  Look at the evidence yourself, the PGP signed messages from BM promoting the asset... the blockchain data of the 1 million Nxt transfer to an account known to be BlueMeanie's... and make up your own minds. Everyone is unanimous in their opinion so far.

Sorry, got here just trying to learn more about NXT. A number of posts are vouching for Java, and, in any case, as has been pointed out, the NXT wallet is implementing a protocol, which is independent of any language or implementation. If someone had the time and resources, they could implement a wallet in hand-crafted assembly language.

[juicyjuice87]

Instead of continuing to troll Nxt, I decided to do some research to be more informed on my attack campaign. What I discovered was an amazing project and community.

It came down to me being butthurt that I missed out on the original offering by BCnext. But I realized that it is still early days. We're equivalent to the $1 days in BTC right now in Nxt. We missed the cents days but there is still profit to be had.
