Part of Nxt Messaging is already implemented (Arbitrary Messages, Alias System), part is being implemented (Account Control).


How will Account Control affect the current AM?

It won't.

You see 2 cables going into the box, atm the batteries need a first charge with normal 5V/1A powersupplys, it should be done in ~14 hours


And the parts in the box:


If the community like it, I can send it to one of the Berlin conference people. Well, please resend to me when finished Wink

Todo:
- testing odroid U3 + XU
- measure power consumption of all parts, batteries and solar panel to optimice power usage for offgrid solar NXT nodes
- make a list off all pars + weblinks to shops

Greets,

You could drill a hole thru the plastic instead of having to squeeze the ethernet cord....then it would be enclosed and maybe waterproof.

The fact that dollar has been reserve currency for the world (international trade denominated in dollars) has allowed america to do one thing no other country could. Print money to get stuff from other countries. Nice advantage that allowed deficit spending for so long.

It's also allowed us to export our inflation, which does nothing to endear us to the folks that have to bear the brunt of our completely fucked fiscal policy.

@CfB: I have 41 api calls so far. Would the prototype for the 'getAccount' call (number42) look like this...

Yes.

heyhey - the new api call works!

balance - 145402
assetBalances - [{'balance': 999837, 'asset': '14269709746849295412'}, {'balance': 60000, 'asset': '7527606552308067548'}, {'balance': 499998, 'asset': '15328485893864579482'}, {'balance': 100, 'asset': '7684392128795615477'}, {'balance': 49999910, 'asset': '12071405555361162374'}]

effectiveBalance - 145400

 and even better: I have the API wrapped up so nicely, I can just add an extra call in half an hour!  Grin

Funny thing. Lyaffe made a challenge with guessing a passphrase https://nextcoin.org/index.php/topic,3718.0.html

I decided to simplify rules, created an account with simple passphrase and sent 100 Nxt to that account. The passphrase was an answer to the question: "I'm a big fun of soap operas and have no idea about security.". Guess what. Someone stole 100 Nxt before I even managed to post the question Smiley

What the hell? How is that possible?

Obviously someone has an instant access to the account with passphrase "santabarbara" and auto withdrawal.

ANNOUNCEMENT  Nxt Net Application http://95.85.8.113:9000/nxtnet

P.S. I'm surprised nobody tried to upload a torrent file; I recall someone wanted this feature very much.


I think its cause no one got how to do.
With an step by step how to it would get more drive...

so is this a torrent explorer like piratebay?

It's better: it can't be shutdown by authorities because data is stored in Nxt blockchain.

If people are interested I can release a desktop app similar to the web app that connects directly to NRS node.

awesome

Who is the owner of the blockexplorer?

The "statistics" page shows a chart of the daily fees. I would like to see this data, but there was a day with 500.000 NXT fee that just fucks up the whole data. Would it be possible to make a log chart?

His password was "santabarbara"

About 19,600,000 results  (on google search) for "santabarbara"

Maybe someone has Rainbow table and a bot setup so whenever a new account is created that exists in hackers database, the money is transferred automatically.  

Oh, sorry, I thought the question was his passphrase Smiley

Still, 12 symbols is not safe now? That's some serious brute-forcing...

Maybe some bitcoin miners repurposed their GPUs? Smiley


"santabarbara" is one word with 19 million google results. Someone has obviously pre computed the hashes of common passwords, so he is not brute forcing it on the spot. They already exist in attacker's database,   The bot just checks if the account already exists in it's pre computed database.

If the password was sanTabarbara it might not have existed in attacker's database.

As you know some of us are working on NxtCash, an anonymity system for Nxt. There are a few questions that concern everybody, so I'd like to discuss them here.

So, to prevent unlimited blockchain growth we probably need to introduce a mandatory coin TTL (time-to-live) with max limit of, say, 6 months or 1 year.

We can also tie min transaction fee for minting a coin to TTL, for example: 1 month = 1 NXT, 2 months = 2 NXT, etc.

What do you think, gentlemen?

P.S. Not sure how purging will work technically, but probably the block forger will be able to issue "cleanOldCoin" transactions and get an additional fee if there is a surplus in the main NxtCash account.

For this it might be better to store coin timestamps as max blockchain height.

Solar powered NXT node for conferences!

Berlin conference first!  Wink

I want to support the next conferences with a RasPI completly solar powered in a nice box.
- RasPI model B
- Wlan USB Stick with preconfigured DHCP settings (just turn on wifi tethering on your mobile phone with SSID: NXT, PW: RasPI-NXT)
- Solar panel on top of the box
- 2x Li-Ion battery powerbank (up to 4x 18650 Li-Ion recharchable batterys each) (up to 27'200mAh! It will be able to run NXT node up to 30 hours without Sun!)

.....snip....

If the community like it, I can send it to one of the Berlin conference people. Well, please resend to me when finished Wink

Todo:
- testing odroid U3 + XU
- measure power consumption of all parts, batteries and solar panel to optimice power usage for offgrid solar NXT nodes
- make a list off all pars + weblinks to shops
- howto
- ...

Greets,
eb


Nice work, ebereon.

Putting a solar RaspPi NXT node on display at the conferences will give us a unique talking/selling point for NXT, so I think that we need to prioritise these as promo material.

So, 3 points to begin with:

Ebereon: can u put more of these together for both Berlin and Amsterdam canferences ?
I have some conference experience and the chances of just one system surviving 2 conferences is minimal.....

To everyone else: Is their a friendly whale who can finance Ebereon ? Or can he get some NXT from the promo fund for this?

Can we start dedicated conference threads on another forum, just to give us a central point for the prep work ?

Heres Amsterdam:
https://nextcoin.org/index.php/topic,2277.0.html

Last thought for the moment on conferences.....we need some large(ish) infographics/pretty pictures for a table display, at least A3 sized, preferably larger, fairly solid and freestanding, so ideas for that will be welcome.

On other topics:

this has to be a record amount of time between comments in this thread
An hour ? Bloody hell, thats almost dead.....

So, because Utopian is a Nxt support, it's okay for him to create a clone?

It's OK to clone even for u as long as u don't try to scam ppl.

+1, Beyonce shoots, he scores....

It is already known that there is a bot running that checks the balances of very simple passwords. If you send some NXT to accounts of passphrases "1" or smthg, it will be gone within 45 seconds!

jl777, would you calm down? You look like a crazy, agitated maniac.

You wrote like 100 posts while I slept, on both forums, all about the same useless idea to use old zerocoin code.

What are you, an automated typing machine? Geez...

No one needs more than 128-bits. The public signature system curve25519 itself is not stronger than 128-bits, so if someone really wants to brute force, they might just as well try it on curve25519 instead of user's password.

Ok, the generated secret now consists of 20 characters from the following set of characters: ['a'..'z','A'..'Z','0'..'9','''','!','"','#','$','%','&','(',')','*','+',',','-','.','/',':',';','<','=','>','?','@','[','\',']','^','_','`','{','|','}','~']. 96 different characters (space removed, since it gets truncated too easily at the beginning and end).

Entropy: ln(96^20)/ln 2 => 131 bit
