Upload the avatar to an AM using FileReader.readAsDataURL() and the encoded data can work inline in HTML.

Then use an Alias with a URI like "nxtavatar:AM_TRANS_ID_HERE".

Prefer to store a link to the avatar which any client can pick up.
Expanding on this...
How about this - all accounts automatically own the alias
This alias is locked to the account.
You use this alias to store in URI format a hierarchy of parameters for the person who owns the account - this can be set and managed though the clients - one of these is the avatar.

Yes, this would be the solution - if that alias of account number was locked and only the account itself can own it, then we can do this. If it is squattable, then it isn't possible to do.

CFB, what are your thoughts?

Yes, gravatar for account Ids.

I mean, why don't we just use it?

We can create a mail server and give users emails like "[email protected]" then clients can pull avatars from gravatar.

Don't see a point in creating a mail server when we have AM.

Isn't that tied to email addresses only?

Any consensus been reached on how to get an avatar that matches to an account? I know there was some talk about this some time ago.

What do you mean?

do u mean avatar on bitcointalk?

No, an avatar mapped somehow to a Nxt account ID. (to be used in messaging apps)

Couldn't we convert a small image to a base64 string and insert it as an alias transaction? The downside here is blockchain bloat.

That's not necessary, an URL is good enough.

However, the issue is how do we know which alias refers to the specific account avatar? If we use a special format, that can be squatted by others.

I guess one option would be for someone to create a site that will host all avatars. User sends AM to site account with avatar URL in it, and then it's possible to do site.com/3434343434.png to get that account's avatar - or a default one if not specified. But this is centralized.

Upload the avatar to an AM using FileReader.readAsDataURL() and the encoded data can work inline in HTML.

Then use an Alias with a URI like "nxtavatar:AM_TRANS_ID_HERE".

http://gravatar.com ?

why can't you just specify an avatar url in an alias and put it in the client profile.

trying to store avatar data in the alias is a bit crazy and limiting.

and one site - how decentralized is that?

Once once client dev comes up with a good solution all the other client devs will copy it hopefully

NEX Videos
NEX Introduction
What is NEX? Discussion by Tai Zen and Leon Fu (24:56)
How to Mine NEX
How to Use NEX Client
How to Register Alias Tutorial

While the topic starter states that these videos r related to NEX, actually they r related to NXT and Nextcoin.

The thread was created as a joke, but now I see that the topic starter is going to scam users. Could u, plz, remove the video links?

PS: I see that my appeal sent via Report button was rejected by a moderator. Is it possible to know his nickname?

I post it here and use http://archive.is/ to store this post. If NEX becomes a scam I'll make sure that all popular resources will publish this info.

Edit: http://archive.is/zCOsL

Edit2: I've sent the link to this post to theymos.

That's what I'm talking about; avatars to be used in clients - mapped to a specific account ID. Can't find the android thread discussing this though.

https://nextcoin.org/index.php?action=profile;area=showposts;sa=topics;u=508

I see no discussion of avatars in there.

back to the issue of fees.... we are all discussing fees too high in reference to some FIAT.

Why dont we start discussions on fees such that they are NOT tied to any fiat???

I don't really know what you mean.

I created an online avatar creator for NXT (http://nxtarea.com/img_creator.php)

I tried using AM for avatars. For this I needed to transform the pictures into base64 code. The result was: An avatar of the size of about 15x15. To small..

We have one android client I think from some chinese guy, who did something with avatars (e.g. a snake). But I think this was client specific.

That's what I'm talking about; avatars to be used in clients - mapped to a specific account ID. Can't find the android thread discussing this though.
