Time to choose the name for Nxt has come, because "Nxt" is a code name.  Post here your suggestions and then I will create a poll.  Nxt will be added to the list so we still may choose it as the name.

You shouldn't unpack the zip file.  Download Java Runtime Environment (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre7-downloads-1880261.html) and type "java -cp Nxt.zip Nxt".

This is open beta test version.

So, how do I run the beta? I only see .class files... Huh

I have an idea to code colored coins with R, G, and B components, a coin with FF00FF code would look as purple in the client.  It is a good idea?

While we are collecting bug reports I am working on colored coins.  Next week we will see a prototype.

Yes.  We continue to collect user base.  But now the multiplier is lowered each Bitcoin block.

I have made a transaction from the transfer address to 19WXPgygiZk2YsrTU9U1nQfLd7oepTuCLc.  All transactions will be counted with 300% multiplier.  Now the multiplier scales down from 300% to 100% depending on the block height a transaction included into.  The block with 100% will be marked by the second spending transaction.  All transactions from that point will have 100% multiplier.

Check https://blockchain.info/address/19WXPgygiZk2YsrTU9U1nQfLd7oepTuCLc to make sure I do not move the coins until the genesis block is approved.


can funds be sent to the 1BCN1ugdKdWd9pQ8Am9hMhtHZfmbXzxE8a address anymore?

I also could be an FBI agent or a group of agents who are developing Nxt to create a honeypot.  Why does anyone care if Nxt is an open-source project and can be used in a lot of ways?  You should create a separate thread for such speculations.

Back on topic.

I replaced Ed25519 with Curve25519.  Now the same public key can be used for signing, encryption and key agreement.  This unifies code base simplifying Nxt deployment to micro-devices.

or answer the question ? lol wow

1. Where all these drug dealers from Silk Road went to?
To Black Market Reloaded http://bmreloaded.com/, Sheep Marketplace, and, maybe, to a ton of similar hidden markets.

I was watching The Prestige and skimming thru the recent posts when I found an interesting thread and interesting replies:

And an idea has crossed my mind.

Focus. We used to think that most of altcoins r created to make their creators rich. Nxt is not an exception, but it does it in unusual way.

A few points to think about:
1. Where all these drug dealers from Silk Road went to?
2. Is it possible for one man to develop a cryptocurrency in a few weeks (not to fork Bitcoin code)? 1 month ago we haven't ever heard of Nxt.
3. Is there anyone crazy brave enough to run a Silk Road clone?

And now let's look at Nxt:
1. Decentralized, u can't shut down it.
2. Invulnerable to ASICs/supercomputers coz it's not a PoW currency.
3. All features necessary to run a nxt Silk Road r being developed in 1st place.

We suspect Satoshi is a group of people. What about BCNext? He may be a group of programmers who r paid for creating a platform where drug dealers will trade their goods. Or just a man who wants to make the world better.

PS: Just IMHO inspired by the movie  Wink

1. Who knows, but now they have tasted what CAN be done, I'm sure that they will all jump on the next thing that comes along as an enabler
2. Yes it is, there are plenty of open source code bases available to start from.  If your goal is a BTC "clone" with minimal changes, then you could start with one of these and makes the mods you need.  One or two guys could get a prototype together in a month or 2.
3. Yes to this too, the biggest mistake DPR made was to be greedy, greed will always be the downfall of man, he should of made a couple million and bailed out before the heat.

BTW: The Prestige is an awesome movie! Smiley

You made a thread to solely make Nxt look good and promote it in a wrong way.

read first comment..

Anonymous dev = NO .

I'm out..

Lol.. better sell all your BTC than.

your comparing BTC to this guys coin ?

and we do know who made BTC.. Satoshi Wink

and hey let's dig into this a bit more shall we..
so some TomSchmuck went and did something before.. does that mean its ok to do that for now on ?
at what point do we stop this pitiful making excuses routine and fix things ?
I've heard it all..
Someone wants to do something sketchy and their defense is XYZ coin did it.. so god damn what !

and Anon devs are the starting point.. if they can't meet that requirement i won't continue checking if i wanna bother.. mining and trading etc
there us actually other factors but if step one is check for secret anon devs and they fail that why should i bother ? they will certainly fail on other aspects lol

But hey by all means your all free to do what ya want..  and justify to yourself any behavior etc
If the potential to make a fraction of a cent maybe is worth sacrifing your integrity and you can convince yourself its ok to mine everything that comes along ?
then more power to ya have fun with that.. do it while it lasts because you guys are killing the scene and you may wake up broke one day when coins are worthless..
and you can all just "untick the checkbox" on i posses coins that have value
