Does anybody have experience with JNA or JNI?
We need somebody to make libzerocoin callable from Java and I think JNI allows us to do that.

If you can help with this please let me know.

I'm still reading about Zerocoin and do not yet understand it fully, so take that into consideration with the following:
You don't necessarily have to use JNI if you intend to have Zerocoin live in AM storage.
Make a stand-alone program linked to libzerocoin that will use JSON (JSON-GLib with libSoup) to talk to the Nxt server.
I am, however, not clear on exactly how one would mint Zerocoin from NXT and transform previously minted Zerocoin back to NXT without a change to the Nxt server. We can easily destroy NXT that is converted to newly minted Zerocoin by sending the NXT to the genesis account. We cannot, however, generate new NXT when we want to redeem Zerocoin for NXT. What might be needed is to change the Nxt server to allow for some sort of global public NXT accumulator to keep track of number of "converted" coins at any given time (account # -1, perhaps?). But I haven't finished reading about Zerocoin so this might not be needed? I might not understand how this part is supposed to work yet. Not sure.
libzercoin also appears to be tailored to the Bitcoin blockchain.
Just a thought, but couldn't a parallel blockchain be used elusively for mixing purposes? You send your NXT to alt block chain, pay whatever fees, do zerocoin magic, and then your NXT appears in the parallel chain. The NXT in the parallel chain is completely identical to NXT in the main chain, so just do the reverse to get your coins back in the main chain in whatever account you specify. Nodes are encouraged to forge the parallel blockchain from the fees produced by people sending coins in and out of the mixing chain. Side-effect is that this will not bloat the main chain.
I'm not sure of the implications of the security risks though...
I sort of like this approach, it allows the user to optionally use anon or not, since anon will obviously be more expensive
This has been discussed in length regarding BTC and anonymizing the protocol. It has to be everyone or no-one. The non-participators nullify the anonymity of the participators. Half measures are unacceptable. It has to be integrated into the whole network at the most basic level. Half measures are unacceptable. The marginal time/money cost should be considered collateral for the purpose that is serves and will always be open to optimization in the future anyways. Moving money in crypto is already dirt cheap. Adding a marginal cost on top of that at the protocol level for something so important is a trivial consideration.
In fact, since zerocoin was designed to be built on top of bitcoin, they clearly did not require all bitcoin users to use zerocoin. Similarily, our plan is to build zerocoin (NXTcash) on top of NXT. If zerocoin on top of bitcoin did not require all of bitcoin to be anonymized, I don't see how zerocoin on top of NXT requires all of NXT to be anonymized.
What am I missing?

P.S. zerocoin algos are pretty new, maybe the bitcoin discussions you talk about predate last summer?
Nobody answered it. Blockchain blocks is +100 to the future.
Number of blocks includes orphaned blocks.
Ok. I was dreaming, if NXT can predict 100 blocks to the future, so maybe it can predict also BTC/NXT rate after 100 blocks in the future

How to understand block No. in blockchain explorer:
Node » | Next Block: 4073882532069587653 | Blocks: 54291 | Transactions: 109551 | Aliases: 55402 | Accounts: 19977 | Orders: 0 | Assets: 0 | v.: 0.5.11 | BC » Sync: 300s
while in 0.5.11 NRS last block is 54192?

i believe you but additionally there is a problem with the semantics. it doesn't translate the way he thinks it does.
That's right. Ur English is quite illogical from point of view of the Slavs.
I was just pointing out a problem with the semantics. if there is a problem with the content than ill let you deal with that.
There is a problem, it's incorrect to say "script". But salsacz couldn't know that, coz it requires deep knowledge of Nxt internals.

Hey - just a quick holler from me here ( just got up ) - I could be the guy for this, because I live ib Berlin, and I have NXT running on my rapsi since 4 weeks without the solar panels thoug, but still I am familiar with the system!
Let me know some more detail!
How exactly is it known who gets the next block? are the coins unique? what exactly makes your account different from another one with the same amount in terms of mining?
Complete iteration thru all account lets to calculate the time when a particular account could forge a block. Coins r not unique. The public key does.
Is NXT messaging implemented yet?
Part of Nxt Messaging is already implemented (Arbitrary Messages, Alias System), part is being implemented (Account Control).
Does the open marketplace have a date for when it will be released?
No. Maybe it won't be implemented at all if someone does it by using Arbitrary Messages and Account Control.
where it says "nxt uses a simple script for transactions, so they can be secured only by a mobile phone or raspberry pi" It's a bit confusing. Maybe consider changing it to something like "nxt uses a simple script for transactions, so they can even be secured by a mobile phone or raspberry pi"
Why "script"? Nxt uses data-driven approach, not predicate-driven.

@CFB A few questions
How exactly is it known who gets the next block? are the coins unique? what exactly makes your account different from another one with the same amount in terms of mining?

Does the open marketplace have an estimated date for when it will be released?
thanks

current version of my Nxt infographic based on Btc transactions:

Separately, would it be possible to get an API call that somehow implements...
I think it's possible.
If all the peers can validate all the spends, then I guess all the account balances update properly and no client needs to get password for any special acct?
Feel free to post a specific API call you could implement. That will give client devs a framework to code against.
Thanks!
Any time frame for activation of AE?
Was there a decision on a specific block height yet?
Was there a decision on a specific block height yet?
Depends on AE client devs, community that will test them and Jean-Luc who will decide what height to add the feature at.

Looks good!
The Transactions Per Second section says Nxt will be able to handle 1000 TPS with Transparent Forging. My understanding is that it won't be limited to this, but may actually support much larger numbers. What is a better way to phrase this? "thousands of transactions per second"?
The section on mixing services could be expanded to include examples that the average citizen would find useful. e.g. "you can prevent your insurance company or employer from snooping on your medical expenses and terminating your contract if they suspect you of being ill, and prevent advertizing companies or neighbors from spying on your spending habits".
Typo in Transparent Forging section: desifgned => designed.
P.S. Any chance of reserving the NXTcash asset name so all of NXT could use a common sense name for it? Not sure if Asset Names are transferable. does anybody know?
No chance to reserve, but u could offer the highest fee when AE is activated. Asset names r not transferable.
