@CfB Please tell us the reason why you need to use a "root" port for IOTA - page 3.

For a start - if you look at any of the "standard protocol apps" they don't hard-code their ports.

Software written as simple as possible for learning purposes can hardcode this stuff.

What on earth are you talking about?

Software that uses restricted ports and hard-codes them is simply "shit software".

If IOTA is "just for learning" then why on earth take peoples money to do so?

(are you going to refund everyone for pretending to create a serious piece of software?)

Well they offer me to buy some software during Crowdsale, I liked the idea DAG and bought some.

What have I done wrong Huh

I'm talking about STANDARD PROTOCOL-s. IOTA is a payment protocol, like SFTP is a protocol to transfer files, its obvious.
You can run iota software as a daemon on NIX systems.

Nope - it is not.

For a start - if you look at any of the "standard protocol apps" they don't hard-code the ports (so it fails at even trying to "pretend to be like a standard daemon").

I understand that you are probably being paid to post but you are clearly "out of your depth" in this topic (perhaps you should stick to the non-technical ones).

SSH, IMAP, POP3, SMTP, IOTA, HTTP
protocols all use ports < 1025,
whats the problem?

Did you not read the OP at all?

Standard *nix servers that use those ports are expected to run as *root* but not others.

If Linus Torvald supports your scam coin then I'll happily lock this topic. Wink

Any professional software developer knows that you don't use ports <1025 for server applications other than those that are the most trusted (and generally oldest) such as SSH, IMAP, POP3, SMTP and HTTP (being the most common of those).

Bitcoin does not use a port <1025 and in fact basically no alts do either *except* IOTA (where the port number was actually hard-coded into the software).

Now apparently @CfB thinks that I need to enter into a 50 BTC bet in order for him to explain his use of such a port (that no other professional software engineer would use).

Also @CfB is in fact *not a professional software engineer* (he shows no record of having been employed by any company that anyone knows of and his code has been reviewed by several actual software engineers and described as being "terrible").

I do understand that most of the IOTA investors are just wanting to "get rich quick" so they probably don't even care but I do think that the point needs to be made that this person is "pretending to be a software engineer".
