NHZ and the 'Blocknet' decentralized blockchain ecosystem
First public announcement / paper on 'Blocknet'

http://downloads.xc-official.com/images/14-10-15%20Blocknet%20presentation.pdf

Teams involved:
SSD, XST
LXC, BitSwift
Apex, NHZ
XC, SDC
UTIL


On November 5'th the first 'Decentralized blockchain ecosystem hangout / discussion will take place.'

We will post details about how you can get involved, and where it will be hosted.

Awesome...thanks fellas!

I'm higher than I thought I was 

Important to note that you also need a static external IP address. If you don't, you may never receive a payout as the hallmark is tied to your IP, and has to be detected for over 24 hours straight to be eligible for one. You can rent DigitalOcean droplets for $5 a month that it will run fine on, and they're currently paying a little over that per node at this price I think.

Opening a port is opening it on your router
Forwarding a port is forwarding an open port on your router to your desktop
Triggering a port is something wholly more complex and my advice is to ignore it if you don't fancy jumping down the networking rabbit hole ;-)

Is there a Rich List and/or a block explorer available?

I'm kind of interested to see where I rank. 

New ANN looks great by the way! 

Man, thank you so much for your kindness in responding with so much detail.  Will check out the link you posted to see if I can figure this out.  I am however trying to setup a "hallmarked node" in order to earn some coins so it is sounding like I do need to setup port forwarding.  Not being real knowledgeable with networking stuff, I am not even sure what the difference is between opening a port, forwarding a port or port triggering.  Actually never heard of port triggering until last night trying to set this up on my router:-)

Thanks again to all that have replied......a most welcoming community!

Yeah, there's a lot of confusion with next gen cryptocurrency clients. Something we have to work on over time.

There is no such thing as a "wallet file", so there cannot feasibly be any way of creating an offline wallet. The accounts require securing once you log in by publishing your public key to the blockchain (issuing a transaction), so having a purely offline wallet doesn't make sense due to this either, as your account would not be totally secured if you were to deposit funds into it. The password system actually hooks you directly into the blockchain, and gets your balance information from it.

This means that you only ever have to safely store your password. Your computer could go up in flames and you'd never lose access to your accounts while you still have it.  You can access the client securely from any PC on any operating system - although obviously normal operational security applies - e.g., don't use a computer you don't trust not to be infected with viruses or keyloggers.

To open ports on your router, check out this site: http://portforward.com/

You don't need to forward the ports if you're not planning on running a hallmarked node though. And the wallet does have UPnP, so you shouldn't need to unless you're planning on opening up the service as a public API node at least.

EDIT: I think there has been some confusion, as you've been pointed to the port checker. You shouldn't NEED it, but if the wallet won't work without it then use portforward.com

Ask away with any questions you have, totally understood that it takes some learning to get used to using these Java based next gen cryptos.

Ok, so I just realized after downloading the full wallet, that I do in fact have the wallet.  I thought this was just for running the node and that there was a regular offline wallet, so I can only assume now that my problem is with the port not being opened properly on my router.

This is VERY different than the typical crypto coins out there!

If anyone knows how to open the port on my router, would really appreciate it!

So there is no standard offline wallet in which we can store our coins then correct?

Thanks for that link!  I get this "Error: I could not see your service on 67.182.67.197 on port (7774)" so I guess my port is not actually open.  Not the best with networking stuff and have a brand new router so I am really guessing at how to "open a port" as I only see "port forwarding" and "port triggering" options in my router's settings.  I setup a port triggering for port 7774 and set the trigger for the IP address of the PC I am running the node on, not sure if this is correct but is where I am at now.  Router is a Netgear Nighthawk R8000 if anyone is familiar.

It didn't sound like the wallet had to be installed for the node to work, assumed this would have been part of the instructions to setup the node so didn't think I needed to do that to get the node up.  Was gonna install the wallet after I got the node up and running as I thought the only purpose for that would be to store my coins in a safer place.  Guess I will install the full wallet now as it appears I am still not understanding something here.

Link for todays show / conversation about the importance of decentralization, NHZ, and creating blockchain and social ecosystems.

Will be calling in at approximately  3:30EST

Is the script for bounty working? last bounty received was on 13th of October. Account NHZ-C9U3-SW9X-5WFG-DCN3T

Check to see if the port is open here:
http://www.canyouseeme.org/

yup, a few.

will NHZ update the code to the new NXT 1.3 version with all items stored in a database?

Yup you're right, I tried the 'Full wallet' instead of the 'node wallet' and it's now working ok Thanks for the help.
BTW was just wondering have you already completed a 24hr period and received the payout?

as long as your IPs don't change then you can accumulate 24hours total over multiple days...

can i run a node for only 14 hours per day?

I'm pretty sure that when I got that error you are getting with 7776/admin I just tried the other one, the 'Full wallet', and now it works and I get my bounty...
