Does your client forge?

Yes, this is a Delphi VCL project. I've never used FireMonkey. The project (and pretty much the whole way I code) relies on Developer Express VCL components and they do and will not support FM, so this will stay Windows only.

Thanks for offering your help!

Great work Marcus03!

It looks like you built this with Delphi, did you use VCL or FireMonkey? I have not worked with FM, but since it is targetable to OS X and Android, it probably would be the best choice.
I occasionally have built some stuff in Delphi, but would prefer to switch to C++ Builder wherever used Delphi before, so I am considering buying Studio XE5 - contains both.

Currently I quite a problems with Java client forging and cannot figure out if it is my network setup or bugs in the client/server, but if I could verify that your client works behind 2 NATs,
I would drop researching what is wrong with the Java reference client.

By any chance, if you need small help here and there, let me know. I would love to contribute to your client. A good client is the most important factor for NXT success in 2014.

Valid points. We should point to 3 random accounts and ask their owners to reveal themselves.

CfB, J-L

maybe you didnt see this valid question.

What will be achieved with the funds set aside for development? (partialy answerd)

and what is the overall status of these projects, can you give comment on

for example:
Fund: OK or NOK        progress:complete,started,n/a            needs: development client


- Decentralized Alias System / DNS
Register names and assign them to URIs. 
URIs can be anything from web addresses to Nxt account numbers. 
These aliases will be tradeable in the near future.

Fund:          progress:            needs:

- Basic DDoS Protection

Fund:          progress:            needs:

- Decentralized Asset Exchange / Colored Coins
This allows gateways to issue assets on the Nxt network. 
These assets can include cryptocurrencies (BTC, LTC, etc), fiat currencies (USD, EUR, RMB, etc), stocks and other assets.

Fund:          progress:            needs:

- Transparent Mining
Transactions are encrypted. 
Only PoS block generator can decrypt transactions.

Fund:          progress:            needs:

- Arbitrary Messaging

Fund:          progress:            needs:

- Instant Transactions

Fund:          progress:            needs:

- Decentralized Marketplace / Auction
Buy or sell goods/services in a distributed manner. 
All listings are broadcast to all nodes on the network in P2P fashion.

Fund:          progress:            needs:

- Distributed Storage

Fund:          progress:            needs:

- Multi-signatures

Fund:          progress:            needs:

- Blockchain Shrinking

Fund:          progress:            needs:

- Two-phase Payments
Software supported escrow transactions

Fund:          progress:            needs:

- Voting System

Fund:          progress:            needs:

- Reputation System
Will be implemented after Voting System
Account trust rating system.  Check if sellers on the distributed exchange have a good history, if stock issuers pay dividends and if gateways honor their asset redemptions.

Fund:          progress:            needs:

- Decentralized Mixing Service

Fund:          progress:            needs:

- Distributed Computing

Fund:          progress:            needs:

- Smart Contracts

Fund:          progress:            needs:

- Hardware Wallets

Fund:          progress:            needs:

- Advanced DDoS Protection: Project Kharon

Fund:          progress:            needs:

I am not convinced.
if BCNext has to free the 10 accounts anyway by himself, what is decentralized about it?
he could just send the Nxt himself.
and what happens if some accountholder dies? what happens if he refuses to fund the project, the community voted to be funded for?
wouldn't the distribution of the 10 mil. Nxt be a good test for the voting system?
BTW: did the devs already decide IF this will be implemented at all?

No, there simply would be fork if others still use old clients.

+1

It would not be accepted by the network.

No. What if someone uses the previous version of the client without such block?

i agree....the funds should not be left to a personal account but to the various committees.

a chosen member might disappear and we would lose access to the funds.

Bad idea for a couple of reasons.

1. For the community at large, nothing really changes. It just seems like more complicated to get the fund out.

2. Security reason: one account should have at least two people having an access to. As it is now I assume both bcnext and CFB have an access to the fund.

3. As in the proposal, the account holder is basically just an account holder since he cannot transfer the fund out anyway, don't see the need for annonimity.

4. Software needs to be modified, seem like just more work to be done.

5. Not sure what kind of decentralization it is when bcnext hands pick 10 accounts. But it actually does not matter anyway since as in this plan, being an account holder just seems like to have an extra burden without any real authority.

I would suggest bcnext and CFB just keep the fund for now until 1. We have a voting system in place or 2. Some kind of committee are formed.

Volume II:
"SHHHT! I am BCNext!"

Another meaning of "revolution" is "catastrophe"...

...but at least this lowers the risk of

maybe

wooohooo my favorite troll is back

Cool, we already have the title page! BTW, is it supposed to say "SHHHHT"? Subliminal message?

And the Nxt logo does look like "lips sewn shut"...

I did not know that my question had caused such excitement ...

I trust in you  

Idea itself is okay - allow people to decide.

But the execution is not the best I'd say. If there ever be alternative server, It'll have to copy such quirks.
The more such quirks, the uglier it gets.
