You bet.. kick me an addy in PM.
My other concern is what if someone has computers creating a database brute force of 20 digit account numbers and corresponding passphrases that open those account numbers, then they just constantly scan the blockchain for accounts that are sent NXT for the first time that haven't sent NXT out yet and if the number matches a number in their database they can go grab the coins immediately?
That sound like a serious issue to me. Any other toughts on this subjet by other members?
That has been talked about multiple times. The short answer is: there is no issue and you need to understand math.
I can't find the link where it is talked about though.

Same here, those are sweet!

EDit: with 64bits per account, to store every accounnts number, it requires a dictionnary of about 2048 petabytes... neverminds!
when will we see an official wallet program?
NiftyNikel is ready to represent Nxt at the Miami Bitcoin Conferene (I'll be there for Peercoin with my own swag). We'll be working together throughout the conference:
See thats a great idea, but nxtcrypto.org/start is just more info. Idea would be to have the app be right there, and the faucet.
What does the QR scan? NM.. same address..
Nifty and QTBC are working on it.

Oh how I wish I were in Miami. Or anywhere even close.
I don't know how I feel about Nxt being described as a metacoin, but since Ethereum is also on the list, it's not so bad. I have noted that Andreas has mentioned Nxt a few times as "a layer on top of Bitcoin", though, which bugs me.
I've been thinking about a few topics lately that Nxt proponents should address, because they're also hot topics in the Bitcoin world: fungibility, transparency vs security, counteracting centralization, the "mining economy", numbers of transactions per block (and how they change over time) as a measure of value, maintaining strong consensus on the network, and "scarcity" (which I am beginning to think is simply a myth in the digital realm). I think Nxt has some interesting solutions for these issues and think we should be documenting them in the whitepaper. I swear I'll get to it one day.
I'm also wondering where we are with finding someone to take the 10BTC fund for a cryptanalysis on Curve25519 key generation and EC-KCDSA signing...? I stumbled upon this guy, from Amsterdam, who proposed a Curve25519 cryptanalysis in 2009, and am wondering if any of our Netherlandic friends (Damelon??) might want to poke him: Cees de Laat
Interesting event there. Could Niffy present NXT and talk about technical stuffs ? I don't think any technically strong guy plan to be in Miami yet.
What's a pity. could someone go ? It is a excellent chance to present NXT. Ferment ? wesleyh ? Cfb ? how much would be a Belarus-Miami flight ticket ?
How about Ola
Nifty is a great network engineer, but not a developer. Guys, it would be worth putting some of that bounty toward flying one of our developers to the conference. Getting in front of the movers and shakers is one of the most important PR opportunities for Nxt.
Also how do i change my nickname on this forum? when I joined up I went for a more random name, but now with NXT I want to be more transparent and use my regular nick "jefdiesel"
thanks

is there a byte limit for an alias?
Alias - (0, 100]
URI - [0, 1000]
NRS
Code:
if(aliasValue.length() != 0 && aliasValue.length() <= 100) {
alias = aliasValue.toLowerCase();
for(i = 0; i < alias.length() && "0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz".indexOf(alias.charAt(i)) >= 0; ++i) {;}
if(i != alias.length()) {
responses.put("errorCode", Integer.valueOf(4));
responses.put("errorDescription", "Incorrect \"alias\" (must contain only digits and latin letters)");
} else {
uri = uri.trim();
if(uri.length() > 1000) {
responses.put("errorCode", Integer.valueOf(4));
responses.put("errorDescription", "Incorrect \"uri\" (length must be not longer than 1000 characters)");
} else {
...
} else {
responses.put("errorCode", Integer.valueOf(4));
responses.put("errorDescription", "Incorrect \"alias\" (length must be in [1..100] range)");
}

I'm always stunned when I reach the end of this thread, and 9pm on the East Coast USA< all the European NXTrs are fast asleep (or drunk, or with someone more interesting that me..)
I can't believe theres not 20 pages to read..

Can turning off the computer crash the transaction.nxt or blocks.nxt files?
yesterday my account balance isn't correst, so i delete .nxt files, restart nrs.5.9, waiting half hour
everything is ok.
then turn off the computer.
later i turn on it ,can't connecting NRS
in command line,type java -jar start.jar,
the information show the blocks.nxt has error,
so i delete them again,of course ,after that ,everything is ok again.

My hunch is that whatever method you're using to shut down your computer is a little too harsh on the Java processes, and is terminating Nxt before it has a chance to close threads and complete file input/output. I know the devs have put some work into cleaning that up in the last few versions, so I'd recommend making sure you stop the server (depending on your platform, it'll be some variation of hitting CTRL+C in your server's command window) before issuing your shutdown command. Might be worth giving Java a few extra seconds to finish the shutdown, too, just in case.

"Metacoin" in my mind is a coin that is designed to have other coins or assets ride on top of it. Mastercoin is what I'd call a layer 2 metacoin bootstrapped on a level 1 coin. Ethereum is a level 1 metacoin, Bitshares is a Level 1 metacoin, and NXT is a level 1 metacoin
Thanks for that clarification! Makes total sense. And since CfB is already working on a PoW crypto based on Nxt's PoS, I'd say the characterization is perfect.

Micro-bounty offer.
Just a small idea for marketing activities at the coming "Inside Bitcoin" events. We could have a win/win lottery for collected business cards. Like every contact who left a card could receive say 20 NXT, and three of them could go up to 100, 500 or even 1000 NXT. This would attract interest.
Now the best proposal on how to arrange this with the least management (emailing back and forth, managing lists etc.) gets 50 NXT.
I too participate in this contest. My idea is that we "create" and top up accounts where the passphrase is their email. And Then we notify them to collect the monies and transfer them somewhere safe.

i like that email idea, remove the @ and the . randomuesr345gmailcom is a pretty secure address but someone does have to create them all, and make sure they are all done right, or they are just going to DarkNXT
My idea for marketing: Postcard with NXT's top features, PoS, Green Mining, 100% new code, etc and on the reverse, a download link, preferably to the new one click App, or a download site that will be updated with the newest version and an address to a FAUCET with an individual redemption code.
Faucet pays out 10, 20, etc NXT but needs the redemption code so people don't use the faucet more than once, and has the added bonus of keeping the NXT that is funding the faucet in one account, so it can be reused for another event if not claimed. ( the email accounts would sit in separate accounts if not claimed)
WesleyH has a great faucet, would be easy enough to duplicate and create a list of "redemption codes" and also have the code be marked invalid if the user tries to redeem to an account with any NXT already in it
Thoughts? You can send the 50NXT bounty to my address below.. I'll use it to fund my ticket to the Inside Bitcoin conference in NYC this April
