Thanks.
Is it ok to stay on 0.4.7? see people with issues after upgrade..

No, you should definitely upgrade.
The old client does not have advanced features installed and is also less stable.

Quote from: bitcoinpaul
I understand Marcus03 and his third-party-problems with. But right now, in the beginning of NXT where everyone is nervous and after the client exploit in december, using a non-open-source client is kinda weird.

Please let's recap for me: Which clients are open source and which aren't?

We need simple and open source clients for Win and Mac. Am I wrong?

Might be, but I feel people were kind of harsh towards Marcus03. He has been open about the closed source nature of his client from the very beginning.
Some appreciation for his good work needs to be extended, at the very least.

For myself I'm not that worried, but I can understand that people want to be as open about everything as possible.

Marcus03 has asked for suggestions to prove his client is AOK. Aren't there ways to prove his software is trustworthy that can be verified by all or a trusted source?

ok, so I have the web client running. is there anything else that I need to do to "forge" nxt?  Sorry if this has been answered. 1000+ pages is a lot to wade through.

You need some Nxt, and no high expectations of getting a block if you don't have a big amount.

Forging is nothing like mining. You won't get rich by forging Smiley

Well, if you invest the price of a decent bitcoin mining rig into nextcoins and a raspberry pi to forge with, things look a lot different.

And as a nice side effect, that mining rig has only minimal power consumption and will not stop earning because someone just made a better ASIC.

True, but I had the assumption he didn't have Nxt yet.
If you have a substantial wallet, the returns could be nice, especially if fees go up as they did today.

How much is a substantial wallet? ball park?
I have a sizeable quantity ( but maybe its relatively small) which i leave on an exchange. Would I be better moving them to the client and leave it running? Is that forging?

You only forge with Nxt that is in your account.
One of the bases of calculation for your chances for forging a block is the amount of your Nxt in the account divided by the total Nxt "in play" on the network.
Nxt on an exchange does not benefit you for forging, only Nxt in your open account.

Edit: I believe the amount for forging one block a day lies in the region of 200,000 Nxt, but I may be off with that.

Thanks.

Marcus03, was your intention to have it closed from the very beginning? If yes, I had misunderstood it completely.

Ok, in this this case I offer to develop 2 clients both Windows and OS X, both open source. My tools of choice would be Embarcadero FireMonkey. Language either Delphi or C++ Builder.

Would community be interested in this?

I agree with Marcus03 ... you can do it. Marcus03 and i doing our clients without any rewards.
dotNXT (my client implementation) will be open source but not at this moment.

Marcus03 have done a really good job on making the nice looking client which uses the original client. I do not understand why are you trying to push him to open the source.

Isn't it Marcus03's right not to open the source?

I'm fine with his explanation. Also it's better not to open the source until April at least. With Nexern's client too.

Maybe CFB or other core programmer can check the code and approve it? Then we all can use the client.

Apart from this jump today because of Bter.com, the price is depressingly not going anywhere - actually moving down.

You would think that NXT would gain a momentum by now, that it be proven that it's not a scam and that that would reflect in price, but no - it's not doing anything.

There should be more hype, more demand...

Tell me honestly you don't fell the same way? (put aside todays move)

just need to fund Salsacz's marketing plan

Yes it needs an improvement of it's image and a wider spread. Marketing...

I just checked the running nodes and ... wow.

Even since i warned like 1000 times do not use alpha client for own client development - there is already some crazy copy.

It is gaining momentum, the amount of accounts keep going up so lots more people are getting involved in NXT.
http://87.230.14.1/nxt/nxt.cgi?action=40&sub=6
If that isn't a bullish indicator I don't know what is. We'll probably start seeing more of a rise in price with media coverage, but we really need better clients out first.

actually this is a Saturday number... Weekends are richer

Also, aside from Andreas Antonopolous (even he isn't updated on what it actually is - but he got the news about NXT somewhere), who of the "key" people of crypto is talking about NXT? Forget this inside circle of devs and investors for a moment.

Are they not aware of it? Do they think it's irrelevant?
A lot of reasons

Right now it's small enough to be ignored.
It is not so obvious in the sea of altcoins (this always reminds me of sausage fest. There are so many altcoins and yet so few fiat Cheesy )
You know Bitcoin, you know altcoins. Every last single one of them.
To talk meaningful about NXT you have to learn again.
A week back everyone screamed NXT is a scam.

Just a lot of things.

If you own NXT, be happy. You're in the boat from the beginning.

Imagine you could have invested in Bitcoin back in 2009.

So, welcome aboard. You know where the exit is. Would be a shame if you leave this early though Smiley

I am an investor. I'm not leaving. I know what NXT is. I wasn't talking about the points you are.

Well, guess I just don't get you then Cheesy

Smiley NXT doesn't have as much recognition as I think it deserves...

D'accord on that. But I think in that case you don't get me Cheesy
Anyway. Bedtime. Have a nice night guys.

NOT GOOD

I am not sure, but this looks like our hacker:

That's BTER's address, I think.

yup that's correct actually lol. Nothing to see here.
