CIYAM, would you contribute only here with your valuable posts? or are we meeting in the "new" forum too?

I have made a few posts tonight on the new forum (whether they are of any *value* or not is something for others to decide).

BTW - I dislike 9-ball and much prefer 8-ball with the "straight pool" method of *calling* (i.e. ball and pocket but not *how*) - I ran a pool competition in Beijing for over 2 years (that was one of the most popular).


Any update on the AT project? Have you got the help from the Java programmers?

The only problem I found with the "straight pool" calling approach is what is known as "dead-lock" (if the black is covered by the opponents ball in a pocket).

It only happened though *once* in those two plus years (so not such a big problem IMO).

https://nxtforum.org had some issues when ssl was being implemented, and when I made it so that everyone has to use ssl, but that is all fixed now.

Works great for me.

Not really functioning:

The requested URL /news-and-announcements/ was not found on this server.

Aside from that, I think it not a good idea to abondom this thread.
This probably will result in a lower overall activity of the community.

That might be true.

We should inform that bitcointalk users from time to time of our progress.

Newbies of the cryptocoin community will certainly go to bitcoin first. But when they do, they should know about NXT as well.

Again on this "true randomization" issue. In general, what amount of randomization is desirable, i.e., how often should it happen? If not very often (e.g., several times a day), then the real world will take care of this (because nodes go online and offline, money are transferred, etc.).

I agree. I wrote the following to CfB:

If this is not enough, then the following procedure is possible. First X accounts (w.r.t. the inverse weights) choose some "random" numbers locally, and publish their hashes. X is supposed to be large enough so that the bad guy would never control exactly all of them. Then, they publish numbers themselves; if the published number does not correspond to the hash or is not published at all, then the corresponding account is heavily penalized. If that happens for at least one account, the whole procedure is invalidated (and we wait for the next try)..

The problem here still is: who belongs to X if one of X is offline and who decides that? It is the very same consensus finding problem that block generation tries to solve.
