Topic: BTCD is no more - page 412. (Read 1328490 times)

Some of you probably have wondered how to use NXT in the context of the BTCD functions. In order to use NXT you need to just install the standard NXT software (from nxtforum.org or nxt.org), but after that you need a NXT acct number and with NXT your password is your account. So you must have a high entropy password.

It just so happens that there is a way to bind a BTCD address to a NXT address and to know you have a high entropy password.

I suggest to make a new BTCD address just to keep things compartmentalized. This will be your public address and maybe you never even use it, that way it is only tied to you as the "post office box" number that people send to you, but with Teleport it doesnt arrive at your published address, you will get telepods.

So, back to the NXT linkage. Just do a:
dumpprivkey

This will spit out a bunch of letters and numbers. If you have any significant amount of value associated with that address, guard this number carefully! It will allow anybody that gets it to access your BTCD funds, but if it is just a public address with no funds, then not much to worry about. However, if you cut and paste from the debug window of your wallet into the NXT wallet and login, you will get a NXT acct number. This will be your and you can use it for a normal NXT account without worry that it can be directly linked to your BTCD public acct (unless of course you publish both)

So, if you end up using the NXT account for signficant value, then dont be saving the password in a text file!
Since you can always generate it from your wallet's debug window via "dumpprivkey" as long as you have regular backups of your BTCD wallet, your NXT password is always there.
Nothing prevents you from making private addresses that are never published and having them also linked.

Sure do, I'm a Field Engineer with Sprint and Clearwire

This is so awesome, thanks for your hard work guys! You really are doing great things for cryptocoins around the world.

Me too but it makes me keep buying 

I am addicted to read James's "sci-fi" posts.
I don't understand most of his tech-ideas, just guess and decide to buy, hold or sell     

What is the matter?

well that was fun!

I like "beg for changepod"

I want to share my pain with you

Wasnt that fun!

That was an edited down sequence of the SIMPLEST teleport. Well at least it was at least an attempt. The problem was that I didnt have a minipod as I am teleporting the smallest unit to myself (loopback test) and this avoids all issues of connecting to another node and hopefully simplifies the test case. It even has a mini-genetic algorithm to find the optimal set of telepods to use for the teleport request, though I am far from having an optimal metric function, at least it should give decent results to give preference to the fewer telepods with the most age.

Anyway, when I teleport to myself, I have to allocate an extra minipod, at least in this scenario. So, just as the teleporter was about to zap the white rabbit across the room, it powers down.

At least I am one step away from finding all the bugs after the telepod gets to the other side.

Just thought you would like to see why I hate debugging. I can code for literally 24+ hours straight, but debugging I usually start to lose focus after just 12 hours. So, now things have to go really well tomorrow to get the rest of the way to complete the teleport, especially as all the partial completion cases need to be dealt with. What to do with half a white rabbit on each side?

Do you work for a carrier?
I am in the same industry.

Slow progress debugging today. Actually had a couple of MGW bugs to investigate, draft darkpaper to review, anon asset to issue, plus debugging is least favorite part.

Probably only one third of the way through, mostly simple syntax, uninitialized variables, easy stuff to fix. Just need some good music and grind through the basic teleporting steps. So maybe a half day delay, but for good reasons. Maybe price comes down due to this?

github since weekend:  Showing 10 changed files with 756 additions and 332 deletions.

And that's not always easy to do.... Going to have to read this in more detail, but I like what I'm reading.  Unfortunately, I just got called out to work.... time to go fix some cellular LTE technology.....  too bad I can't teleport there 

How do we get to look?

Hope you like the pirates

Tried to make it both understandable to normal peoples, but still have technical depth

I'll take a look, please. 

Edit:  very sneaky what you did there

Updated darkpaper available for any BTCD regulars to preview

muah ah ah ah, we're too strong, no bot gonna get our coins 

It seems the orderbook stuffing 'bot operation has been cancelled due to lack of WH
bittrex is back to the more "normal" 4:1 buy/sell ratio
of course this is quite unusual ratio for other coins, but we are used to it here

I will PM everyone that donated as soon as i get to my PC (15-20 minutes)
