I am offering 10k Nxt as a bounty for this. Smiley

This can be easily done with Alias System as a magnet link.

So the "uploader" has to pay for it (registering alias).

We could create a webpage where a .torrent file can be uploaded. An alias is being registered with the magnet link.
Users get 10 Nxt (or whatever number) for registering, so they can try it, and upload a few files for free. Then they could purchase additional packages of Nxt. Anyone interested in this project? I am not a good develoepr, but can make a homepage, do the marketing and sales stuff.

No beta [snip]

The Nxt detractors really need to coordinate their talking points --

"It's still in alpha, client is half-baked, it's missing promised features, not listed on major exchange..."

Which is it?


did you see what bitcoin looked when it was 1+ months old?

oh yeah bitcoin is still in beta too.

Don't compare NXT and BTC, Btc is not pre-mining. At least btc is not pre-mining serious.

You can compare eMu, EMu has a client, but beta is testing, and not pre-sale yet.

Neither is NXT seriously.  Sorry you missed the boat buddy.

Hi, I am interested in Nxt and ready to invest some money in it.  But first can you answer this one question for me, what is scarce about Nxt?  With Bitcoin, if someone copies and pastes the source code, its not the same because nobody can just copy and paste the mining network.  Please explain what prevents somebody from copying and pasting the Nxt source to make Nxt1, Nxt2, Nxt3, Nxt4 …. ??

As i understand it, the plan to combat this is to always have one feature closed source. So whenever a new feature is added, the previous closed source feature is made open source and the cycle repeats.

this is the best explanation I have heard so far.  Thanks for being knowledgeable.  Also thanks for telling me not to dump my life savings although I was just kidding.  

I am particularly interested in the file sharing capabilities of Nxt.  Does anyone know anything about this?

edit: also, where's the best place to buy Nxt?

You are welcome. Tongue

File sharing would never be efficient over a blockchain. Blockchains are for arriving at consensus. They are for making sure that everyone is "on the same page". If you want to share files BitTorrent is amazing Wink.

But it could be used for the .torrent files, which would bridge the networks in a sense. The messaging feature could be useful in this sense as well.

Maybe someone could integrate bittorrent functionality into their client then we'd have a truly decentralized torrenting system  Grin

This could actually be a good idea. Although it seems like this is something a service provider should do on a parallel chain to prevent bloat.

Bounty announcement

100'000 NXT will be paid for working JavaScript code that signs and verifies signatures using NRS algo.

- The licence must allow to use the code in any application
- Sign/verify speed must be not lower than 100 signatures per second on a 1 GHz CPU (1 core)
- All the code must be in a single non-obfuscated well-formatted .js file
- Input/output values must be strings like "8302504e4e57c6c65335289879c6915a273d3aae7bd086058e403fcd2bc18341"

The bounty is valid till the 20th of January, 2014 12:00:00 UTC. The complete code must be published in this thread.

Here is requirement to post code here, so...

I've changed base math from long10-based(as in Nxt java sources) to more JS-friendly (https://github.com/kosta/confidential-publishing/blob/master/js/curve25519/curve25519.js), have optimized them and now  my implementation enough fast to met "speed requirement", at least at my computer it require less than 10ms for sign/verify.

https://github.com/moadib/nxt_crypto_js

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Will check it in 4 days.

Come-from-Beyond, please Smiley
my paper:
Quote
BCNext paid a team of core developers to help him with the client and create some functionalities like decentralized exchanges. One member of the core development team Come-from-Beyond was paid by BCNext to work on Nxt from December 2013 till April 2014. Come-from-Beyond is a 34 years old programmer from Belarus. On January 2014 joined Jen-Luc a core team as a non-paid programmer.
May I know how many core developers exist? BCNext paid your team - so how many people are in your "team"? Smiley

Klee's guys r supposed to work on the core too. Jean-Luc knows the details.

PS: I work since October (started with client part), also u can add that I live in Minsk, it's the capital of Belarus.

If you buy from an individual here, ask someone trusted (like Anon136) to act as an escrow.

What happened to the original 21 BTC?  Were they permanently removed from circulation?  If so, how did the original donors feel about giving $210 to the Winklvii?  Considering they own 1% of all bitcoin and the permanent removal of BTC means their BTC holdings went up in value proportionately

Is there a point to your stupid ramblings? 

Ya, I'm about to dump my life savings into Nxt and I want to make sure its legit first by asking all the questions possible. 

Do not do that. Seriously no. Go spend at-least half of your savings on something safe. Go buy a big brick of silver and bury it in your back yard. After you do that come back here and spend the other half on a huge gamble like this. Think of nxt like a lottery ticket, where you spend a dollar and have a 90% chance to lose all of your money, but if you win than it will increase way more than 10 times. Its a good lottery ticket that is a good gamble but no one should put their life savings in a lottery ticket, no matter the expected return on investment. You can trust that i have your best interest at heart when i say this because i would stand to benefit from you dumping your life savings in NXT, it would cause the value of my stake to appreciate.

This. It seems you're here with the pretense of exercising due diligence, etc, yet you're dumping your life savings into a crypto?

If you're sincere and not being a troll, you need to read the wiki first: http://nxtcrypto.wikia.com/wiki/Nxt_Wiki

If you *are* a troll, you're still welcome to dump your lifesavings into a crypto with a ton of upside Wink
