If anyone could help with a 16x16 pixels, good looking animation (representing "busy" in my client), e.g. a small rotating coin, that would be great. I would need an avi file of it (actually avi and an animated gif)

and theoretically, whats the worst thing that someoone could do if they had the genesis acct passphrase?

Issue more NXT and dilute the value of everyone's existing NXT?
Or if you prefer:
Create more anti-next and dilute the value of all existing NXT?

Is the 1 Billion next fixed in the code or can it variable? Can the 'owner' of the genesis account issue more next if they chose to?


Now CfB has returned, can you or anyone shed any light on this? Is it possible for NXT to become inflationary? It has been bugging me for a while... though all the mystery is quite exciting too Cheesy

All transactions that lead to negative balance r ignored.

I'm afraid u have to wait 5 days more coz I was off and noone else can implement necessary API calls. And btw, I'm still waiting for the combined list. Or any list.

OK guys Ill start us off, add your requests to the list:

1)  an API to get a qty of assets.  requred parameer of acctnumbr. with no other parameters it lists all qtys of all assets.  optional parameter of an assetID to just get qty of that asset.  another optional parameter of a timestamp to get a snapshot before or after that particular time.  these 2 options may be used together

2)  I still dont fully understand if/how/when automated transfers work, since in my testing so far, with no QTY API, I cannot tell if automated trades due to bid/sell matching occurs.  so Im sure if this process can be described, we'd want some other APIs  Wink

3)  Allow "getAskOrderIds" and "getBidOrderIds" to specify a certain assetID

4) An API to show all transfers of an asset from 1 account, specifying the asset and the transfer-or, and optionally the transfer-ee, and optionally a timestamp to show transfers before or after that point.

5) An API to show all transfers of assets into 1 account, optionally allowing to filter to a specific asset,and optionally a timestamp to show transfers before or after that point.

This isn't modeled, but is a simple icon/logo:

"NXT image"
"Stop sign"

Are you saying the shape of the NXT sign reminds you of a stop sign and has a negative connotation?  Actually the NXT symbol is a hexagon and a stop sign is an octagon, they aren't even the same shape...

I wonder if BCNext has picked the hexagonal NXT symbol he did for a reason...like bees in a hive using a hexagonal comb?  Could this be an allusion to a "hive"?
It just reminds me of the stop sign though I am not sure if this is good or bad!
Just noticed the one is hexagonal and the other octagon Tongue

BCNext chose the colors. That was my idea to use hexagon to show that Nxt is a platform (similar to bees' combs).

Yes, very similar. Just need to add the ornament instead of the white border and textures.

Which ornament, CfB? What did I miss?

STOP


Agreed... but I thought CfB said a hexagon? Smiley

EDIT: I think the shape only denotes STOP to USians, and it certainly can't be confused with a coin (I've got no dog in this fight, however)

Maybe I found our audit guy (for PoS and/or crypto algo).
Max Keiser is launching his own pump&dump shit coin and tweeted this (thank you asshole):

A bit of googling later:

What do you think guys?

Bter volume is 216 BTC
DGEX volume is 93 BTC

WHY THE HELL DO YOU STILL SHOW DATA FROM DGEX ? ? ? ? ?
REPLACE WITH BTER FOR F@CKS SAKE!!!!

Good point. This needs to be fixed ASAP. Better yet, combine stats from all exchanges. Shouldn't be too hard to do. Who has made contact with them before?

I don't really come from outer space.
brute forcers would 'bloat' the blockchain and make a shitload of addresses unusable.

Am I wrong?

Yup - that is why I said "trickier" and I don't have a solution at the moment - but it is something worth thinking about (perhaps involving getting an existing NXT holder to provide 1 NXT for said purpose?).


An API call that lets you specify the whole public key of the account you want to send money to, and puts the whole public key in the chain would solve this.  You'd have to send at least 1 NXT to reserve the public key.

A bonus is that you could make a 256bit address and load it with NXT at the same time for a paper wallet.

Yeha I was more talking about the domain then anything else.

The http://www.mynxt.info site looks really good indeed. Smiley

And your right that there is an enormous amount of work in the blockchain.info site.

All,  Ive created a DNS A record for blocks.nxtcrypto.org resolving to 87.230.14.1 which is nexern's block explorer.  In a bit of time it should propogate through the internet.  Now nexern's server may/maynot work correctly with this, but if anyone else can think of a better name than blocks for the site, let me know

Yeah, it won't work correctly.  I briefly pointed http://www.nxtexplorer.com/ at it about a month ago, but his VPS wouldn't accept it.  I already contacted nexern a while back to let him know he can have the nxtexplorer.com domain gratis, but he's a busy guy.  Soon.

Need some help in understanding the basics of NXT.

I thought that transparent mining would greatly decrease transaction time. However, average transactions of for example 100 NXT with 1 NXT fee take a few hours. To me this is slow and not VISA speed at all. Could someone clarify why the transaction time is a few hours?
