Topic: NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information - page 1189. (Read 2761624 times)

I used to play a lot at FICS, but recently kind of got tired of chess in general...  When these two tournaments at FICS will take place, is it already known?

what do you mean by "sending BTC to NXT address"? and how did you do that?

Me too.

It's interesting to see what possible use one can get out of an old system, which is completely different, has limitations that make it impractical, will be completely rewritten from scratch by the zerocoin guys and implemented as a stand-alone altcoin instead of a Bitcoin integration. I also have no idea what this imaginary "zerocoin API" is that he keeps talking about.

So I think he, indeed, needs some skilled developers to explain to him why this might not be such a good idea...

Meanwhile, if anyone interested in Zerocash (i.e. Zerocoin 2.0) and its possible integration with NXT, follow http://wiki.nxtcrypto.org/wiki/NxtCash - I will keep updating it as we go.

We have to do some ugly things and write some scaffolding (throw away) code, but it is the only path that I could figure out that directly leverages existing libzerocoin and allows us to make progress now.

As soon as Jack Needles gets a SWIG layer, we can even call the libzerocoin from Java. I know, horribly ugly. All this frankenstein stuff will only be for testnet and gets us smart about zeroknowledge proofs using code that works.

CIYAM is helping with architecture and we think we have a pretty direct integration path to build on the SWIG layer.

When ricot is back from vacation and bloodyrookie finishes reviewing the zerocoin integration guide, we will have a very good idea of how to hack in actual zerocoin minting and redemption.

All this is ugly and will make coding purist throw up out of disgust, but I am a pragmatist and just want to see something working before diving into the long path of refactoring C++ code into Java. In any case zerocoin is coming up with a much better zerocash, so we just need to have a process to go from C++ library -> NXT. No sense in refactoring obsolete code.

If you are good at testing software, I could use a couple of good testers, especially if you are experienced with forensic accounting. I want to setup test mints/spends and have someone try to figure out who is sending what to whom. Its supposed to be impossible with zeroknowledge proofs, but I want to make sure.

P.S. There are some VERY exciting things being worked on now, just not quite ready to announce it yet.

I play on FICS since mid 90ies and were playing on the ICC also for over 10 years, but in the end FICS has everything I need and I don't pay anymore for ICC. the big difference for promotion is, that FICS is free for everyone.
But a tournament on ICC also is a good idea.

I can see that ages ago I sent a very small amount of BTC to the NXT address but can't remember what else I did. I've tried a bunch of my longest passwords but none have any balance... what might be my next steps to figure out how to recover any coins?

delete .nxt files, rebuild blocks

no he says its going to take a day or two to finish the editing.

Looks like jl777 is looking for some skilled developers to join his effort. His plan has merit. Watching with interest!

It is in my sig
If you specify expiration date on your directed donation and no project earns it by that time, then it will be returned. However if there are potential projects that are active and close i woild hope that deadline woild be extended

Of course as donor of directed bounty, you would set the rules, we will enforce them. That is why i call it directed donation.
I believe this project or very similar with much smaller bounty was announced. While it goes against decentralization, it might make sense to pool funds and or dev resources. I encourage cooperation, but ultimately it is up to each person to decide

Not being funny, but have u installed/updated Java?

If u have then:

java -Xms512m -Xmx1024m -jar start.jar

or

java -jar start.jar

will do the trick

There is sometimes a problem with Java not being recognised by later Win versions, even after installation:

https://forums.bukkit.org/threads/how-to-fix-java-is-not-recognized-as-an-internal-command-or-external-command.139263/

so try the above , reboot and try to start NRS again.

you need to point to the exact path of java.(in the .bat file)

for example: program files (86)/java/bin/java.exe

or change a variable in windows variables

or look at this video

I am trying to run my start.bat file in the command prompt window, but it kept shutting down instantly. So i added 'pause' into the file and I see that it doesn't recognize my path as an internal or external command...but im pretty sure its the right path? 

If you want some amussement emule is trolling emuland, they have apparently big trouble. servers down

Why is this so freaking hard to get this client up and running?

The start.bat shit keeps not working.

I've also come across three different versions of what should be within the start.bat file.

What should i put in there? and then when i double click it,if it doesn't run....then what?

davethetrousers, ebereon wrote an article on how to do solar powered forging with the Raspberry PI. You should collaborate to either add cubietruck instructions to it, or write an equivalent how-to article:

It will become the most popular book among Nxters soon, hehe.
