There are so many questions for CfB in the above posts. CfB may be whoom BCNext is, may be not, that's not so important. I don't think BCNext, CfB are scammers, but I have some questions in my mind and also need CfB's help/answer:

1) I remember (If I am right) CfB once said he owns 3 Mil Nxt about two weeks ago, and today or yesterday he said he owns 5 Mil Nxt. As we know, CfB sold a little Nxt every cheap weeks ago, but now he owns more. CfB, did you buy in recently?

2) BCNext transfered the unclaimed Nxt to you, right? As we know, you provided the community the geneis block account signature from BCNext, so the Nxt was launched by BCNext, right? Obviously one of the 73 accounts was controlled by CfB, that is the unclaimed Nxt account. If I am not wrong, that account had more than 100 Mil, and then some guys claimed their Nxt before Jan 3rd and you sent to them. After Jan 3rd, the unclaimed Nxt was about 13 Mil according to CfB, but I found that account was not that amount. Unfortunately I can't find that account right now, but those guys who received Nxt from CfB can get it. So what's the difference and how to explain it? CfB, how did you deal with you personal account and the "unclaimed" account?

On the other hand, there is no one complained their loss of their investment after Jan 3rd due to their late. Nxt is so popular, how can some guys invested in it and don't realize it until now? Now that the community has the decision the Nxt won't be send to those unlucky guys, could CfB tell us how many guys invested those unclaimed Nxt? Is it possible that those Nxt belongs to BCNext or CfB who take it as development, marketing fund?

The community need some facts, not the privacy of the inventor and the developer. Thanks.

1. Is using java as well
I'm the lead developer of f*cking huge enterprise project written in Java.
Am I BCNext + C-f-B?!

2. Is using jetty server as well
Early versions of NRS doesn't use Jetty. And failed when network became big. So C-f-B rewrote it to use Jetty as network layer.

3. Has same runing command "java -jar start.jar"
It is command line to run Jetty. NRS is servlet in container inside Jetty. Everyone run Jetty that way.

4. Has SAME path to the nodes file:
Quote
/webapps/root/WEB-INF/web.xml
This is standard Jetty configuration file.

So you're troll or doesn't know what are you talking about.

I have no reason to doubt that colored coins functionality will be released, possibly with some delay, but we do need client support for it. I think pastet89's problem is that he doesn't fully understand the implications of colored coins (Asset Exchange). It is similar to ripple. ripple allows anybody to issue any three letter "currency", like USD, BTC, even DOG. All anybody has to do is send some to somebody else to issue it. There are no checks and balances at all. Anybody can send anybody a billion USD or a billion BTC or a billion DOG.
What does it mean to get something in ripple? It is all dependent on the issuer. This is why there are trust lines and the restrictions on receiving something you don't trust. It is expected that gateways will issue USD only for validated USD deposits and in turn, when the ripple USD from that issue is redeemed that the fiat USD will be sent to associated bank acct.
"ALL" that the Asset Exchange does is implement functionality similar to the above with the restriction that only a single account can issue each specific asset. So, we will get USD, BTC and probably even DOG Assets in NXT. Whoever the lucky one is that gets the BTC asset will be able to sell the BTC for NXT. I also imagine that if you return the BTC asset to that acct, a corresponding amount of BTC should be sent to your bitcoin address. At what redemption price? That depends totally on the issuer. At what fees? That depends totally on the issuer.
It is his responsibility to do all the real world interfacing. The moment there is an unissued BTC asset for a bitcoin deposit or a bitcoin transfer that is not made for a valid BTC redemption, the trust in the BTC asset owner will drop and soon nobody will use it.
This is the same problem that ripple gateways have. I have said this weeks ago. just because we get Asset Exchange, it does NOT solve the lack of reliable NXT exchanges. This is why I have put in the efforts to get NXT trading inside ripple. Asset Exchange is cool, but the entire process of getting recognizable assets and trusted issuers is not going to be as fast as people here are assuming. Short of CfB getting the BTC asset and deciding to spend his time doing BTC/NXT gateway, the community will have to develop the trust for the lucky winner of BTC asset.
My prediction is that what we will have is half a dozen people who end up with a decent combination of trustworthiness and asset name and inclination to do BTC gateway. This will fragment the market for BTC/NXT and it probably will stay this way for a while.
NXT software cannot magically enforce gateway behavior. If you expect this, then how to explain the turtles idea. NXT server uses star trek transporter tech and beams turtles to desired location on redemption of turtle coins? Nope, that's not till NRS version 6.6.6
Asset Exhange requires trusted issuers to do the gateway function.

Very good résumé of the situation James. The trust in Nxt gateway will be a turning point.
Could the Nxt users agree on using one gateway to increase the traffic instead of fragmenting like ripple ?


Could the trust in a particular NXT gateway be amplified/compounded using multisig or something? So instead of 100 different BTC/NXT gateways, have 1 gateway with 100 backers? I.e. decentralise the assets.

Nxt close to 0.00003... if i only had more Bitcoins, damn! Smiley

Let devs finish new features and community to grow bit more and asking for adding Nxt on these exchanges won't be needed.

JustabitofTime - Co-Founder of CoinTropolis
The Bitcoin Conference in Miami starts next week, we could still use some fund raising. Had quite a few pledges, not quite so many actual payments.

Nifty Nikel

- Paid for airfare
- Paid $40 toward business cards

JustaBit

- Paid for Nifty's hotel for 2 nights
- Paid $40 toward business cards
- Paid the remaining $130 dollars for the full conference pass

UtopianFuture, dzarmush, Uniqueorn

- Paid ~ $110 (Nifty's conference ticket)  


*** Pending ***

We still need to purchase eB101's ticket for $200. Nikel and eB have done quite a bit of work getting pins/business cards together as well as contacting companies prior to the meeting.

If anyone would like to contribute, please take a look here:

He has already said the following:

QRK and NXT will be added once some funds are raised.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.4563665

So we should give him Nxt that he can sell? Lol?
It would attract new users

But then isn't it better to manage it ourselves? With a site dedicated to only nxt?

utopianfuture, kindly answer my PM about tech details of the exchange. Thanks.

Asset exchange = colored coin tech. If you understand how colored coin works, you will understand asset exchange. You can read my first draft paper to understand how generally it is supposed to work.

Link, please.

All Nxt articles are in the OP of the Marketing thread

I will repeat my idea again as a solution for AM to make it easier to send AM while saving us from spam.


You charge 1 nxt as messaging fee to send AM to an account but allow the sender to resend any amount of messages he wants to that same account within 1440 blocks.

1440 blocks after the 1st msg he has to pay 1 nxt msg fee to send AM again.

If he wants to send to a NEW account he must pay 1 nxt msg to send AM to this NEW account.  After paying this 1 nxt fee he can send any amount of messages to this NEW account for 1440 blocks.


WHY THIS IS GOOD:  Grin

It allows you to freely communicate to another account but saves us from spam because its quite stupid to spam the same account & if you want to spam all accounts you have to still pay 1 nxt per msg.

  

+1. Really like this idea.

cool concept!
message by invitation ...

Disaster to blockchain. Arbitrary Messages (NOT Arbitrary Messaging) is really Arbitrary Data Storage. The confusing name confuses people. Would anybody suggest being able to pay 1 NXT to be able to open a file in the blockchain and then have NO LIMITS for a day to write to the blockchain? For 1 NXT???

We need to think of Arbitrary Message as a 1K storage unit in the blockchain.
Do we really want someone to be able to store 43 megabytes of data per day in the block chain for 1 NXT???

Please do not try to make Arbitrary Messages into Arbitrary Messaging, it is a bad name, too confusing.

ANYTHING like this suggestion will create the cheapest distributed storage EVER to the Internet and even without spam attacks, corporations would quickly use it for distributed backup of 43 megabytes per day for less than a nickel.

PLEASE do not try to reduce the cost of 1K storage in the blockchain anymore. It is already very inexpensive. I think it is best to use this feature for publishing "pointers", eg. why not just establish a direct IP connection using 1 NXT and then communicate directly IP to IP. Why does all the communication need to go into the blockchain.

Think Arbitrary Data Storage, not Arbitrary Messaging

James




The clue on that idea is the part with the Block dependent answer message wildcard.
I like this!!!

concerning security:
An possible Attacker would be isolated in his puppet account environment.
He always can only flood his own account which sent the invitation NXT.
