Thanks to a question by swartzfeger, I realized I still havent added the "area code" for the SuperNET API calls. Its a bit confusing at the low level as there is the global pubaddr that each node publishes to indicate how people are supposed contact them. Think of this is a post office box, but it is one giant post office with everyone's public address.
The privacyServers are protecting your actual IP address, so this allows then entire SuperNET to contact each other without knowing any IP addresses of anyone. Of course, you will need to know the IP address of the privacyServer that people are using, but this is explained in the OP, so I wont repeat.
By using the privkey of the public address, it is possible to map uniquely from a coin address to a NXT address, so at the GUI level, users are just specifying what their public address in terms of their public coin address. The corresponding global address is generated without use of the NXT blockchain, it is just using the localhost API, so this is all possible without maintaining a NXT blockchain.
I now see why I didnt add the "area code" the API calls!
The reason is that this is something that can (and should) be transparent to the GUI and even the API. Since we have a global address, this lets us create a "direct" route (we ignore random onion layers) between any two peers and using the peerinfo gateway previously described, we can find the privacyServer to contact given a global address.
So, this is part of the explanation why I am writing so many posts. It is part of my coding process as writing things down clarifies things for me. I apologize if this is confusion, please ignore if it is not making sense

tl:dr I am close to code complete for SuperNET transport layer

Learn about some of the features going into the SuperNET core + their revenue streams from James' assets:
I just re-read a lot of threads and wrote in some additional info (still a few behind): http://nxter.org/asset-issuer-jl777/
There's some NxtInside / SuperNET background info in the ON TOP OF NXT series pt 2: http://nxter.org/meet-james-jl777-nxtinside-supernet/
We'll look at ICO summaries tomorrow.

just pushed github.com/jl777/libjl777
basically all files changed, almost having SuperNET fully coded, still some few things left that I hope to finish coding today
i decided to remove libwebsockets as being inside BTCD and the RPC path already working, no sense to have a redundant path
this also allows other coins to invoke SuperNET or even integrate to SuperNET via RPC, which is a much less of a change to existing coins. Adding a coin's unique functions to the SuperNET API is something that needs to be supported inside the libjl777

The Trustees do not have the power to decide on spending authorization. Their obligation is to keep the funds safe and to properly and timely respond to authorized spendings. The authorization is done by the Authorization Committee of 7 and requires majority to approve a spending.
In what part of this do you see any conflict?
In what part of this do you see any conflict?
I assume u enforce this by doing legal contracts with the real identities of the trustees right? I mean otherwise they could easily peasily run off with the millions he she it takes care of right ? i mean investors wouldnt feel save if this wasnt legally bound
~CfA~
contracts are broken and violated all the time. lawsuits are expensive and not even guaranteed to get the desired result.
if you do not feel safe with technology to secure the funds without a fiat world contract, then I suggest you to sell all your cryptos and put it into a fiat bank.
We are all trusting the coin devs with the value of the crypto. If you cannot trust the people that are creating the coins, then you should not own any crypto.
James
P.S. The NXT community seems to feel quite comfortable with me holding the 22 million NXT. I have total control of this account and the only thing stopping me from running away with it is my honor. Not sure if can understand this.
Not sure if I do, either.
My momma always said to me "Dave, whatever else you do, never give 10% of your entire crypto holdings to a random stranger you met on tha Interwebz"
But I do trust James. I've seen how he rolls, how he envisages way-out stuff that no-one understands at first but that work amazingly well, like his asset structures.
He's got a solid track record here, and more than that: he embodies the old-school Satoshi idea of crypto, the idea that we can create a technology that will completely free our financial lives from the need to have government and law involved. The blockchain shouldn't need to be enforced by legal contracts, but by the technology itself.
Just for disclosure: I'm on the nominees list for the Authorisation Committee, anyone else want to volunteer:
https://nxtforum.org/unity/unity-funding-authorization-committee/
Last bit: don't just think about the financial/trading aspects of SuperNET, but try thinking of the technological implications as well.
Once a SuperNET wallet is working, allowing access to and control of all coins within SuperNET, this, in combination with the NXT-based Asset Exchange and MultiGateWay will allow all of the coins within SuperNET to access the functions of all the other coins within SuperNET. Its not called UNITY for nothing......you then have a unifying crypto-system that can do pretty much anything. This is why every coin to be included in UNITY has to have one good, working, unique feature.
I know people have said this before, but this could be the biggest advance in crypto-currency since Bitcoin itself.
Co-operation is the future, it's the only way to take crypto mainstream and when that happens, we will all win. Everyone. You, me, James, the guys behind RobotSexNickels, everyone, even C-f-A........

Someone does need to write a document explaining more precisely what this is about. I am a seasoned BTC, NXT and asset exchange user, but it took me nearly five hours last night to begin to understand what this is about - and I'm still unclear on A LOT.
I imagine most potential investors are staggered at the amount you are aiming to raise and the moment it becomes clear to them that this is not a normal coin investment, they fuck off - they can't be bothered to wade through all this meandering thread trying to get a grip on it when they can put their money in another, more familiar investment.
I for one am standing back from this one until things become more clear, it's just too vague at the moment.
For those wanting to find out more, I found this to be the most useful document to launch my research from:
http://209.126.70.170/SuperNET.pdf

http://209.126.70.170/SuperNET.pdf
SuperNet is identical to a hedge fund ETF in the stockmarket world.
An ETF holds assets, usually commodities or stock, from similar industries, using the investor funds to acquire more. The ETFs earn income from user fees, which are deducted from the inventory every quarter. Common ETFs include physical gold, silver, oil, and DowJones100s.
and there are the revenues generated from the user base
and the advertising inventory that is sold to websites
and the NXTventure incubating of income producing casino game asset companies
and the SuperTraders who are managing 1000 BTC 7x24 using a hybrid team/individual approach
and whatever other good ideas are approved by the SuperNET owners
If it is not clear to people, this is my fault. I will try to summarize. SuperNET is like an integrated financial/software/advertising company with a clear plan for growing the userbase and ways to monetize this userbase. Without fixed overhead. All the potential of this operating company is available at close to book value. When trading starts there will be a buywall at NAV to provide liquidity.
At current pace, we are at the low ends of the expected funding, but still enough to be doing quite well. My concern is that 10% cap of my contribution will limit the core assets that SuperNET has, which reduces some of its revenue potential. this can always be corrected by voting to approve increasing this 10% cap. What I am saying is that even at current levels getting more funds is going to increase the value per asset.
We are still in the antidilutive stage for additional funding. The more funding comes in the less risk as it will have more "weight", and since the expected revenue per asset is growing during the antidilutive stage, more funding is an advantage to all the investors. At the 5000 BTC level, then this is not optimum to have 500 BTC for the SuperTraders and 500BTC of core assets. So I would suggest boosting these ratios, but this will increase the theoretical worst case scenarios. Due to this, the decision will be up to the assetholders as to the desired funding level for the core assets. The SuperTraders can certainly start with the 500 BTC bankroll. One solution is for the assetholders to authorize to have some unsold assets.
For example, we can approve the issuing of 10% more assets than was sold. This would not actually be a dilution as it would be in the SuperNET acct and would only be spent to increase the value of SuperNET. This can then be used for working capital or investments. Protections from hurting the market price will of course need to be specified. I think it will be best to hold these votings after the close of funding and before the official SuperNET asset is created.
If anybody has any other ideas for voting, just post. The specifics will all depend on how much is raised, so I cannot know the exact things to propose, but the questions of the amount of core assets and whether to have some extra assets that can be used to raise working capital are ones that I feel are important to address before trading begins.
James
I know you might not like the idea of it, but a proven method of increasing volume is to be a precise end date.
It has been shown with almost every other IPO, there is an influx of volume at the very beginning and right at the end, Having a cut off time that isn't to specific prevents those kinds of things happening, but having a precise cut off gives those people who wish to jump in right at the end their chance.
putting an exact cut off date could give a huge pump of a thousand btc in the few days running upto the cut off date.
(unless i have completely missed where it says there is a exact cut off time, aint seen it myself)
so we wont know until this threshold is triggered but as soon as it is, we will know the end time
max is 28 days

I dont have time to convert to BTC
A lot of weakhands are selling so there is churning and the net sales are slowed. I expect this will stabilize

Suggestions for voting. Assuming c. 5,000 BTC collected and a goal of 10,000 total:
Temporary upweighting of SuperTraders' fund to 20%. Fund would keep some % of profits and return some to core reserves, especially BTC.
Upweight core asset fund to 15-20%, again temporarily. When 10,000 target was reached these could be reduced accordingly.
I would be prepared to forgo dividends for a while to ensure the strength of the project. Could additional shares be created at launch, which could only be bought using reinvested dividends? The preferential price paid for these would reflect early participation and deferred gains. My guess is that some HODLers would go for this. Others who want instant returns would not. Hence it probably needs to be optional.
Thus the early period would be riskier to some extent, in various ways, but would place SuperNET on a stronger long-term footing.
