Are you in the right block chain? have you checked vs https://chainz.cryptoid.info/nav/?
Do you have latest wallet? Have you downloaded latest blockchain?
Mate, if you want the community to help you give us more info!
I run NAV coin on a Mac with Wine emulating Windows XP with no problems and also in an old HP Windows laptop with 2gb of memory staking great.

the blockchain seems really "fucked" with mass orphans or another thing ..

huge utilisation 100% on my ssd & hang my windows ..
with some stucks/freez and so slow to synchro ..

wallets vrc xst xvc sdc are so smooth compared with nav ..

"Houston, we have a problem" ..
 

uugh! So I think I did everything right but it won't update beyond 12 days behind, Running 3.6 the checkwallet came back as fine, running Win10, just sits there with 17 connections to the network.

Shahim updates it quite often. I'm sure it was this week.

Hi, make sure you follow this instructions.

Thanks for your explanation. Really interesting. I also found an older explanation why NAV and Dash are different, but they were called Navajo and Darkcoin back then. It looks similar to what you just explained.

While we're very confident no one can irrefutably trace transactions which route through the anonymous system, it wouldn't be the end of the world if the bounty were claimed. The idea of bounties are that they attract very smart people to try and think of abstract attack vectors and companies reward these people for discreetly showing the flaw so it can be patched to help the product become even stronger.

I guess though you're right in a way. If someone can undeniably trace a NAV Anon transaction it means they can crack RSA encryption and basically the whole internet is fucked lol!

It's there: http://www.navcoin.org/bounty

It should be automatic, the bounty page reads from the chainz.cryptoid.info API. Perhaps the API is lagging behind the actual block explorer? Not sure.

quite enthusiastic aren't you But you are a fresh account so no one is taking you serious yet... but, welcome to nav. enjoy your stay, get comfy. things should be very interesting in the near future.
also, im not donating to that fund. cause if someone can crack/hack the anon on nav, then they can hack/crack anything ever and im scared for my life. #untraceable

Ok.  NavCoin Blockchain Explorer shows the Bounty has doubled exactly: https://chainz.cryptoid.info/nav/address.dws?NQH5nkBpxgjuEvqBRRbMJAKZB6UgVkwRNE.htm

The Bounty page on NAV website isn't showing it.  Maybe it has to be updated manually?

Ok. I just doubled, to the satoshi, the 18,835.49972583 NAV Bounty.  I imagine it will show up soon.  Couldn't wait for y'all to start pledging. 

Jugelio got it right.

The main point of difference is that our system uses 2 block chains, which permanently disconnects the transactions and makes it impossible to prove beyond reasonable doubt that User A sent coins to User B. As far as I understand, Dash uses a single block chain and essentially just mixes the coins through their system prior to you sending them which given enough time and effort can be untangled or relies on insecure architecture such as SQL databases. We also encrypt the destination address from inside your wallet and then re-encrypt it before sending it to the outgoing server via the sub-chain to further break the connection between sender and receiver. Your intended destination is never broadcast from your computer, not even via HTTPS, only ever as an encrypted argument attached to your transaction to our sever on the block chain.

Also, have you actually tried to use Dash for anonymous sending? From my testing their coin mixing protocol doesn't even work. I had my wallet open for 3 weeks trying to successfully mix just 14 DASH into "DRK" or whatever they call it and it failed every time.

Our system doesn't require any pre-mxing of coins. You just tick the "Send NAV Anonymously" box and it sends your regular NAV through our Anonymous Transaction Network instantly. Transactions are received within 5 minutes of sending. Transactions are broadcast from incoming to outgoing servers via a separate block chain (nav sub chain) and not managed by something exploitable and centralised like MySQL.

I am working towards finishing the new Anonymous Transaction Network scripts over this weekend which will enable us to bring the system back online and closer to being able to decentralise the system. More to be revealed in my weekly update on Monday once I have more info for the progress report.

I'll restart navcoind which should bring it back up

What OS are you using?

UGH!

Wallet keeps crashing, ideas anyone?

the faucet has been down for days

Ok. I found info on the Bounty.  It is currently 18,835 NAV. 
I'll match all NAV Community contributions up to 1 Bitcoin worth. That would get us closer to 100,000 NAV Bounty equivalent.  A bit more respectable.  I can do it in a couple of stages.  Make your pledges on this thread.  Then I'll match them with a deposit into the NAV or Bitcoin Bounty Wallets.  Then you can fulfill your pledge.  And I'll keep matching pledges up to 1 BTC.  Offer ends August 26.  I don't live on this Forum but should check a couple of times per day on progress. 

What would be cool is if others matched my contributions up to a level they are comfortable with.  Then at some point this Bounty could become newsworthy.  Even better would be the Devs saying that all contributions to the Bounty over a total Bounty of 1,000,000 would be refunded to those loaning after a certain time period.  Maybe 6 months.  Then the Bounty could potentially become several million NAV.  Then, if NAV continues to execute....  You fill in the blank.

That's not really the answer on my question. It is an explanation of how NAV works, which even gives me the feeling that the explainer isn't 100 % about it himself. I actually asked why NAV is better than Dash or Monero. NAV is called the first true anonymous coin. It can be, but anyone can make such claims. I want to know why this is and if is really better than Dash or Monero.

I mean, I don't ask this to be annoying. I ask this because I sincerily want to know this and as I am not a crypto or blockchain expert I am not able to deduce this reading from the whitepapers. I have some idea why this could be after reading the explanation of juguelio, but I am still not 100 % sure and so it would be nice if an expert could explain this. Moreover, it would be nice for people to know this. If I knew 100 % sure why NAV is better, then I could spread the word. I am on different youtube channels or crypto sites so I can do free branding anytime I want to post about NAV. And others can do the same. But before being able to do so, it would be helpful if we know why NAV is better.

Is that true even in the current implementation of NAV?

Cause if it is why are they trying to improve it with further decentralization and stuff?

Is the Bounty to crack NAV still being offered?  If so, what is the bounty?  I would contribute considerably to it.  Larger the better I would think.

The answer to your question was quoted 3 post before yours by juguelio, hope that help
