After countless hours of hard work and continuous effort we are very proud to announce the release of NEM beta client.

Great to see...again, I'm sorry I missed out. Smiley

Just three questions:

1. I just downloaded it, and entered in my info, but when I got into the browser wallet I got this message: "NIS requires to be booted. Please open your wallet and boot a local node via the popup dialog or configure the auto-boot setting." How would I do that?

2. I tried copying my Account ID to the clipboard using the Settings button and selecting "Copy address to clipboard." I got the message "Address has been copied to clipboard!" three times, but the address only hit the clipboard the third time. Prior to those first two attempts, my clipboard was emptied thanks to me using Keepass - and for the first two tries, it stayed empty. Did I just bump into something idiosyncratic to myself, or is this replicable with another user also using Keepass? 

3. My Account ID is: TA4UCM-LOWNMF-T65KIB-6ES6XG-LLRG6A-JNV3P4-6CLD [Note To Mods: Me posing this here is neither a solicitation nor a response to any prior solicitation. This ID is solely posted so I can ask a question about the NEM account system.]  I take it that the ID string is Reed-Solomonized from a pure number. So here's the question: how many bits' worth of entropy did you guys come up with for the Account IDs?

Thanks.  Smiley


Hi Nxtblg,

1. On the right-upper corner of the screen, near your name you will find a drop-down menu. Click that and choose "boot local node".

2. Have you tried to reproduce the issue?


Hi yourself, xtester,

1. Thanks.

2. Not yet. I'll try it later and I'll give you a shout with what happened that time.  Smiley

So here's the question: how many bits' worth of entropy did you guys come up with for the Account IDs?

The address is derived from the public key and a version byte.
Here are the steps:

Quote
      // step 1: sha3 hash of the public key
      final byte[] sha3PublicKeyHash = Hashes.sha3_256(publicKey);

      // step 2: ripemd160 hash of (1)
      final byte[] ripemd160StepOneHash = Hashes.ripemd160(sha3PublicKeyHash);

      // step 3: add version byte in front of (2)
      final byte[] versionPrefixedRipemd160Hash = ArrayUtils.concat(new byte[] { version }, ripemd160StepOneHash);

      // step 4: get the checksum of (3)
      final byte[] stepThreeChecksum = generateChecksum(versionPrefixedRipemd160Hash);

      // step 5: concatenate (3) and (4)
      final byte[] concatStepThreeAndStepSix = ArrayUtils.concat(versionPrefixedRipemd160Hash, stepThreeChecksum);

      // step 6: base32 encode (5)
      return Base32Encoder.getString(concatStepThreeAndStepSix);

So I guess it is about 160 bits of information.

Thanks!

Coins nowhere to be seen....

Are you referring to the distribution? Well, it will naturally happen only after the beta will be heavily tested to make sure everything works properly.
