/r/NXT/

The subreddit with our correct name finally goes live!

I hope that we can grow to something like /r/Bitcoin.

Suggestions all via PM here or on reddit.com, also if any known member wants to be moderators please write me.

We already have a sub.

/r/nxtcoin

We even had 2 (/nextcoin and /nxtcoin) and both contain coin. I think NXT represents our cause way better!

I am really interested in seeing if we can standardize on Raspberry Pis as the Official Public Node of NXT and deploy a lot of those all over the world rather than renew a bunch of more expensive VPSs that got us thru the initial late Dec crunch. I have heard different things about it - it can definitely forge blocks, it's underpowered for the task, it works better if you plug a thumb drive in the USB port to give it more memory, it needs to be replaced by a Cubie. I would like to pull all this together and come up with a definitive answer on a Raspberry config that is qualified to be a Service Node without running out of horsepower. Dave, your thoughts?
....

If we're thinking of deploying embedded servers like Rpi instead of VPS, I'd suggest we consider Odroid-U3. It's only marginally more costly than Rpi, but have far better tech specs. I've been running one for weeks and it works like a charm.

Before movng to this investmemt, do we expect these devices will perform in TF with thousands of transactions per sec, with blocks being forged much more frequently than every 60 secs, etc? Realize the nework connection they will reqire as well.

All the more reason to make sure it is included in a test network.

Certainly need to be tested, but my reason for suggesting U3 is that it certainly has a better chance than Rpi. Higher end models are also available.

I'll get one on order for myself and play with it. Can it use the Raspberry Pi software setup as is or did you have to tweak it? Have you heard when large quantity orders will be allowed instead of single units?

I have no idea about bulk orders. The Rpi setup guide will do, except that it's even simpler cos the OS is fully functional out of the box. You can setup Nxt over SSH or plug in a monitor and use the GUI to setup like on a linux desktop.

How did this happen?

And how do i "stop the java process"?

Thanks

I see from your post history that you're on Windows and using the NXTSolaris client. I don't know Windows all too well -- barely ever use it, but according to a post on nextcoin.org by joefox:

Quote

Open the Task manager, locate "java", and terminate the process. There may be more than one.

Then restart your software.

Ok so i just bought some NXT on BTer. I had previously set up the NXTsolaris client. I then withdrew my nxt on BTer to my address on my client. It's been about 10 mins. Am i supposed to see anything on the client such as "incoming transaction" or something?

Thanks

I still don't have my nxt Huh

I know it may take a while from an exchange, but is this normal? did i set up my client wrong?

This is the transaction:

http://www.mynxt.info/blockexplorer/details.php?action=ac&ac=3604359399477947696

Your transaction is in the blockchain. You may have a corrupted local copy of the blockchain.

Try this:

Stop the Java process. Delete the blocks.nxt and transactions.nxt in the nxt directory. Rename or copy blocks.nxt.bak to blocks.nxt, then do the same for transactions.nxt.bak to transactions.nxt.

Restart the Java process then log into your client.

Does anybody know how to setup a testnet? How many servers, etc.
I might need to get one setup as early as end of next week.

Count me in.

I've been thinking about this whole 1000 TPS thing and have a basic question. If ANYBODY can be the node that generates a block, but a node with a low rate data link can't support 1000TPS, then are we saying that the NXT TPS chain is only as strong / fast as its weakest link?

I am guessing any node that can't keep up will automatically become blacklisted and they fall forever behind. Such low bandwidth nodes will need to run slim clients. Not sure how they will be able to send NXT

James

So we start by telling people they can forge NXT based on their stake, then blacklist them forever if they can't meet a certain level of performance?

Slim clients will have to form and sign their transaction locally then transmit the transaction to a hub node. They'll have to poll the hub node periodically for some X blocks to make sure the transaction wasn't orphaned. If it gets orphaned, they'll have to re-transmit.

That's my understanding anyway.

Salsacz: The "Procentual distribution of Bitcoin vs. Nxt" diagram has some flaws.

http://a.disquscdn.com/uploads/mediaembed/images/818/9098/original.jpg

1) It shows two identical pie charts, with exactly the same colors. Surely, if you claim BTC and NXT have different distributions, then the piecharts should look different?

2) No clear markings/labels and colour differences are introduced on the piecharts to show clearly which one is NXT and which one is BTC. At least draw a line up the middle and use different colors.
