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

someone already running 0.6.0?

Check the node name -- that's Jean-Luc's.

I am trying to make sure when we go to TF in April that the network is ready for it. CfB estimated 1Mbps to support that, so any nodes that doesn't have that bandwidth will need to use clients that don't do everything.

Of course, just because 1000TPS is possible doesn't mean it will happen right away and I imagine it will be a gradual ramp, unless we stress test it ourselves.

Who else would you recommend to be on the NXT infrastructure advisory group? I want to make sure we get input from all the people who are actually involved in setting up servers all the time. opticalcarrier, gbeirn, tbd, tbd.

We still have time and can plan an orderly ramp up in NXT network capabilities. I just don't want to login one day in April to find TF was enabled while I was sleeping and we are doing 666TPS and everything went to hell

IMO I dont think we have anything to worry about until we get to the point where during peak periods (to be profiled later, when the peak periods begin hitting) that we fill up blocks with max transactions, at a rate of every minute.  I just dont see that happening any time soon.  But it would be great to be wrong.

For example - consider bitcoin - we could currently take over ALL of bitcoin's traffic right now, without even needing TF.  If we get to that point, were multimillionaires, and I just dont see that happening this year, But it would be great to be wrong.

We'll just have to keep an eye on it.

Now, one thing to consider is if NXT really does take off, we could see more attacks again in the future, and so will need to be ready to summon more hallmarked VPSs short notice.  But hopefully not.

Re-posting my Public Service Announcement:

If you are new to Nxt and don't want to read through 1429 pages of posts, come to the wiki:
- Learn about Nxt
- Get started
- get basic questions answered in the FAQ and common problems pages
- Learn how to set up a public node on a VPS
- read up on the Nxt high-level API, which you can use to build apps, games, clients, utilities, and more
- find additional resources for programmers, including suggested methods for handling transactions, a PHP library, and more.
- check out the current draft version of the Nxt whitepaper, which is being built and refined by top community contributors (it's still rough, but there's lots of great content already)

There are also great forums with lots of info and support for beginners. Many of the best Nxt wiki articles are based on information originally contributed here:
- The nxtcrypto.org forum
- The nextcoin.org forum

... and don't forget our Nxt sites (and these are just the English ones):
- http://www.nxtcrypto.org
- http://mynxt.org
- http://nxtarea.com/

Wiki contributors pull information from these threads every day to keep the wiki up to date. You can also help contribute, or translate.

This thread is long (oh BOY is it long) and daunting for new folks, and most of the conversation here is not helpful for beginners.  So don't get frustrated -- come to the places where new folks are welcomed and pampered!

That's quite disappointing that there was a spot for us there and we didn't fill it. A big deal IMO. I didn't know we had a seat. Why wasn't this made a big deal, so we could rally up and make sure the spot was filled?

We really, really, really need representation for these type of things. Not being involved makes Nxt seem secondary to these other projects, when in reality were clearly ahead of them.

You were probably not reading the forum when 20 pages of posts covered the issue of the Miami panel, getting someone to Miami, getting someone APPROPRIATE to Miami, and then getting someone appropriate to Miami IN TIME FOR THE PANEL.

There was a herculean effort, and no winner... but the LTB gang is still willing to interview someone about Nxt this month.

Indeed, we were taken a bit by surprise but at that moment even tried to get opticalcarrier on the plane immediately.
It was too late alas.

You can see what happened from here and the following pages: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.4708712

Does anybody know what percentage of hallmarked nodes have 1Mbps+
What about normal nodes?

James

I hope you're aware, that a) tx size currently is much bigger than 128 bytes... b) we're quite far from 1000TPS

TF itself won't let you anywhere near 1000TPS on 1Mbps. Current tx size is rather closer to 500 bytes (and that is without aliases/messages)

So besides TF switch to binary format must also happen, but I presume, this will happen before April.


I thouight we already switched to binary format...  I remember a few weeks ago that all of a sudden blockloading sped up considerably - I thought that was due to switching to binary?  was I wrong?

So i've got another question, i had 2213 Nxt in my account. But somehow it's gone? No transactions are shown other than the one from the exhange site to my account..

check your account in block explorer

http://blocks.nxtcrypto.org/nxt/nxt.cgi?action=3000&acc=

put your account# after that last equals sign.  if that tool shows your NXT in there then you just need to resync blockchain.

If I understand his post correctly, on October 23rd, BCNext estimated "VISA scale volume can be achieved with 32 Mbps connection."  Implementation details were not given.

If we're going to move to a binary communication format anytime soon, I would suggest considering using a platform neutral one similar to the one outlined in the paper The Case for Universal Symbol Files by Michael Franz [PDF here].  While the paper is about hybrid symbol/object files called slim-binaries, the data format used for encoding constants is endian-neutral and is compact via simple variable-length encoding for items.  Take a look at section 2.1 -- Compact and Portable Data Representation.

Also those looking to develop DAC compilers may want to read the whole thing.

Looking for New York speaker!!

They are tweeting to get our speaker there, fortunately I am searching all Nxt mentions by google and twitter many times a day so I found  it Smiley

It probably isn't that event in April, I can see only web:

http://www.cryptocurrencyconvention.com/

So who will step up? Smiley

I am sure it is safe to assume that whatever NXT core changes that are need to fully support 1000TPS will be made. NXT core devs have delivered everything they have promised so far and I have no reason to doubt they won't continue this.

However, just because the software can do it, if the hardware or network cant do it, then NXT cant do it. I am personally counting on the 1000TPS capability of NXT to turn emunie, etherium, etc. into a footnote about promising but inadequate attempts at second gen crypto.

My push on this is that time flies quickly and when it comes to realworld actions like getting servers (raspi or VPS) I would feel much better to be a few weeks early than a few weeks late

James

+1  Preparation and success are highly linked.

Regarding infrastructure, www.peerexplorer.com has an interesting take on promoting public nodes.  I found their explanation difficult to understand, but it boils down to this:

- User registers their public nodes (peers) for a chance to receive extra NXT from sponsors (what they call 'caches')
- Sponsors contribute NXT to a 'cache', which includes message.
- Registered nodes receive NXT randomly from the caches as reward.

Even a public node with zero NXT can earn NXT this way.




Very cool site. I wonder if this would be a way to fund servers efficiently?
It seems this is just for hallmarked servers? I know there are a lot more than 250 people forging.
