I've made a thread on reddit/r/CryptoCurrency: New alt NEM is selling stakes via Nxt asset exchange
Please upvote! Because besides helping the NEM release, it will also rise awareness about what the Nxt AE can do.
Suppose account A leases forging power to account B.
1) What is the maximum number of blocks it can lease the forging power for that can be input in the Period field?
2) If account B is not always forging, sometimes you turn off your computer, etc., will that leased power from account A not be lost when account B starts forging again in a few hours?
3) Is there an API call to see which accounts have leased forging power to account B?
Guess the post was lost after all
I'm not the tech master (so take it with caution), but I think I can answer:
1) The maximum time for lending 32767 blocks - which is about a month.
2) Why should it be lost. That information is stored in the blockchain, not in the computer.
3) Apparently. Check here in forkedchains pool - he uses the API to get all kinds of info. And I remember that he put his script up for others (or planned so). Can't find a thread now in a quick search, but maybe PM him in the nxtforum.
