When Nxt price will skyrocket we'll have to change the APIs to allow fee expressed in Nxt-cents or transactions will cost too much.

I think it's easier make now such an incompatible change than later when there will be a larger userbase...

It might be useful add more decimals than just 2.

It would be cool if getBalance would accept a timestamp parameter so that you could get an account balance at a certain point in time.

There is nothing in the core that prevents me sending NXT or messages from one sender address to the same recipient address.

Is it ok, if I make use of this? Or will this be forbidden in the future?

It's ok.

Good idea. We can't change existing API calls, but next API will follow ur proposal.

I think it is necessary to use the same mode of representing the amounts in API's.

I personally think the right should be getBalance():

URL: http://localhost:7874/nxt?requestType=getBalance&account=9415965710853847055
RETURN: {"balance":217500,"effectiveBalance":217500,"unconfirmedBalance":217500}

217500 / 100 = 2175.00 NXT   All right!

However when we see a transaction with GetTransaction().

URL: http://localhost:7874/nxt?requestType=getTransaction&transaction=7613663286249813916
RETURN: {"sender":"16999902190493953875","fee":1,"amount":1,"timestamp":3150358,"referencedTransaction":"0","confirmations":12580,"subtype":0,
"block":"2365176096112318374", "senderPublicKey":"66538....77a579","type":0,"deadline":1000,
"signature":"e9619.....937639","recipient":"9415965710853847055"}

It this is wrong! should return:

RETURN: {"sender":"16999902190493953875","fee":100,"amount":100,"timestamp":3150358,"referencedTransaction":"0","confirmations":12580,"subtype":0,
"block":"2365176096112318374", "senderPublicKey":"66538....77a579","type":0,"deadline":1000,
"signature":"e9619.....937639","recipient":"9415965710853847055"}

I hope they correct, and then we could soon be able to use decimals!

This problem occurs also in...

* sendMoney() = URL http://localhost:7874/nxt?requestType=sendMoney&secretPhrase=IWontTellYou&recipient=398532577100249608&amount=1500&fee=1&deadline=900&referencedTransaction=...

* getBlock() = RETURN {"transactions":["14664591317056179258"],"blockSignature":"8e679e....5b5333","payloadLength":189,"numberOfTransactions":1,"version":1,
"timestamp":3196925,"previousBlock":"11012395561676092121","payloadHash":"3a4c.....a1e55b","height":29207,"totalFee":1,
"baseTarget":"490243708","generationSignature":"d5fc85......2e08","totalAmount":0,"generator":"4071545868996394636"}

* assignAlias() = URL http://localhost:7874/nxt?requestType=assignAlias&secretPhrase=hola&alias=hola&uri=&fee=1&deadline=1000

* sendMessage() = URL http://localhost:7874/nxt?requestType=sendMessage&secretPhrase=123&recipient=398532577100249608&fee=1&deadline=1440&message=b8a7a5...h381a3

Yes, "recipient: [0-9-]+" matches all lines containing "recipient" except for the first one (structure definition).

No idea, looks like it doesn't count recipients with "-" sign.

That's what I figured, but a quick check shows only ~7000 unique recipients in transactions.nxt vs. 14,000 accounts in the blockchain explorer:

Code:
$ java -jar jdeserialize-1.2.jar nxt/transactions.nxt | grep -E "recipient: [0-9-]+" | awk '{ print $2 }' | sort | uniq | wc -l
7105

R recipients with negative value included?

Is there a way to get a list of all the accounts?

Thanks!

Yes, this can be done via blockchain scanning. Smiley

Let me know if u need a special API call for that.

I'd definitely like an API call that would return all accounts.  For blockchain scanning, what is the process to get all accounts?  A quick look at blocks.nxt (12MB) shows only ~300 unique generatorPublicKey's, and transactions.nxt (also 12MB) has about ~3500 unique accounts.  The blockchain explorer says "Accounts: 13919" and lists lots of new accounts being added though.

Get a unique list of the recipients of all transactions of all blocks.

Sending you one through PM for txid: 17352005608016332505

Is it safe to use transactionbytes publicly?

http://localhost:7874/nxt?requestType=getTransactionBytes&transaction=17352005608016332505

Yes. ;-)

We have made a bunch of transactions that have received the transactionbytes. Deadline 7200 minutes, not even near of expiring, yet somehow these transactions are not pushed through even when others are. They receive the same transaction id and transactionbytes every time for days but do not go through. We are wary of resending them before deadline instead of rebroadcasting for the fear of double spending. Any ideas?

Send me one of these transaction bytes, I'll check what is wrong.

{"errorCode":7,"errorDescription":"Not allowed"}

- as you mention urlencoder - I am using python 'requests' - works nice. What are you using?

I'm having  some trouble with the secretPhrase parameter. How should parameters be encoded?

I'm using UTF-8 and URL encoding so, e.g. the secret öäü (german umlaut characters) would be öäü in UTF-8 and that would be urlencoded to %C3%83%C2%B6%C3%83%C2%A4%C3%83%C2%BC resulting in:

http://..../nxt?requestType=sendMoney&secretPhrase=%C3%83%C2%B6%C3%83%C2%A4%C3%83%C2%BC&recipient=...

Anything wrong with that?

Got it to work. Had a problem with in my URL encoder.
