Off topic. Approximately how long does it take to harvest something? and is there a way to check if you are really harvesting?it has been more than 24hrs after my vested balance was >10k and I haven't harvest anything with 0,82% importance, is that normal?
although it is necessary to have 50-60k to be less time and succeed in the catch block and so conceived in the system of the NEM, although the planned harvesting at 10,000 NEM and the probability that the catch block too, but here we have to say that the importance of the account and receive blocks accounts with a large number of coins ( now probably accounts more 1x mln ), and that here at this stage the probability to catch a block with 10k is equal to 0, but to catch the empty blocks ( blocks without pay ) can be obtained, although, but the chance is 0.80% on catch block is not bad and that probably from 24-48h it will take time for this
Awesome, thanks! Atm my vested balance is 25k and my balance around 160k.

2 more things I noticed

1)http://nodeexplorer.com/ has currently 0 nodes. Not sure why

2)Does NEM's POI favours exchanges such as Poloniex with more importance than an active user or is there something that avoids exchange to control the harvesting? I read the white paper but this still not clear to me.

Cheers

1) been like that for some time. Site is broken appearantly.

2) Nope, nothing that kepps exchanges from harvesting which makes it even more important that people don't keep their XEM on exchanges. You can be active like a mad man you're not going to outweigh THAT kind of balance.

So, are you saying that your XEM balance in an exchange counts as if theirs?

Yes, of course it does. And you should consider it at risk since most exchanges don't even utilize mullti-sig (in fact does anyone know of an exchange that does use it ?) because they don't appear to give a shit about security until it's too late.

ANY currency (even USD), the moment you send to an exchange (bank, whatever) the money is no longer yours (you only have a promise from the receiving institution - IOU). Mind that...

Could someone explain in a few words what namespaces and mosaics are?
Or could someone point me to a site where the features are explained?

I can't decipher everything but I'm pretty sure the .82% is incorrect. Even if the importance score - which is in ‰ btw, not % - would translate 1:1 into likelyhood of harvesting, not all XEM are harvesting.

My client

Does not run

Ncc start and stop

Why???

If you please have a look at the two or three last pages you may find your answer (hint: antivirus issue?). But, anyway, support is usually at https://forum.nem.ioWink

I created a new wallet in lightwallet. Where can I get the private key if I want to import this wallet into another wallet?

No such function in the lightwallet righ now. Depending on what options you chose when creating the new wallet you may or may not only need the password though.

what sever(s) can I use for remote server. After every update I have to download the whole blockchain again. copying .db file doens't seem to work anymore.

Copying the file should still work but there also one on bob: http://bob.nem.ninja/nis5_mainnet.h2.db.zip (pretty recent i think)
You tech theoretically you any remote NIS as your server. There is no way for them to steal your founds. They could feed you bad data so maybe stick to the supernodes when the reward programm is up and running.
You can checkout the lightwallet and see which servers are listed there. Those should all be trustworthy.


Thanks, found them here http://chain.nem.ninja/#/nodes/ working fine now. For a next update, do I uninstall / install, or can I install / update over the old version?

Installing it over the old version can work and it doesn't hurt to try. If you encounter problems though the first thing you should try then is to uninstall all of it and re-install.

..But...
how about the Exchanges.

Every exchange can be hacked. Even those high end, super volume ones  Wink


Given the current trend of "hacks" (some of which are probably just lies to cover exit strategies) i think it's a safe assumption to say all exchanges can be hacked and will take your funds with them.

This assumption has saved me many times over the years and i never would keep a single coin on an exchange for this reason.


Thanks for the advices.

Which Exchanges have lost their funds and when those have happened?

Just looking for the "t(h)rend" ... Wink

Congrats to NEM devs Cheesy
Maybe finally their work has been noticed and the valuation of XEM [ksem :] is growing.

But...
how about the Exchanges.
Here has been few posts about their safety.
Is it expected that EVERY Exchange will be "hacked"?

If it is so, then I start believing that it is not actually a hacking problem.
It is just a systematic and 100% sure method to get virtual coins. And the method is owned by the Exchange providers themselves.
