Can someone post the Genesis Account number and accurate password for me please?


P.S. I'll switch to the other forum in the next 9-12 hours. Can someone repost this there, if they think it is worth it.

Anyway, what should I do if I detect a collision of identical GUIDs?

U should publish that u found a collision in SHA256.

being able to correlate a single transaction like you describe is an extremely bold claim.  Maybe now its not so terribly difficult, but once NXT transactions start to pop it will definitely be impossible.

IMHO you've just made a bolder claim than I did.

Quote
And of course a light client ALWAYS has to trust the node operator.  This is the case whether or not you use either SSL or TOR (or not use either/both of them).  So just take this argument away.

Why is that?

Quote
Like I said before, depending on tor for a home user is just not feasable.  

Have you read that it took just 2 hours to implement support for Tor in my client and all that the end user has to do is ticking a checkbox? Why is this not feasable?

Quote
I find it extremely hard to believe that you see the SSL correlation such a risk yet completely ignore TOR correlation that is possible unless, like I said previously, the user takes EXTREME steps, nearing on the impossible.  Without these drastic extreme steps, eventually tor is correlated.  It just takes time.

The SSL correlation is not my main problem with SSL.

My main problem is that the way I would attack privacy and security of NTX is like this:

1.) Set up and run lots of NRS nodes.
2.) Protect it by SSL and make sure I myself stay anonymous.
3.) Encourage NXT user to use the nodes under my management, because they are more secure than others due to SSL.
4.) I'd end up with a substantial amount of the NXT client<->NRS communication under my control.

No, this is not an accusation that this is what you are trying to do. I'm personally very grateful for what you do for NXT.

However, I would like to prevent that the general perception is that SSL has a real security/privacy benefit for client<->NRS communication.

Quote
But whatever, just ignore the dev.  Hint, you might want to do a little research about tor correlation, before you depend on it yourself though.  In fact, unless you go do your research on it, Im going to assume that not only do you not care about it for yourself, but you also dont care about it for others.  IMO this is not exactly the way things should be done, but, oh well, you guys in the committee are supposed to be the experts, after all.

  • You are not being ignored. You previously failed to follow-up on InfCom comments and questions. If you had answered my last post in the InfCom thread regarding the SSL for the Wiki with just "but what about the username/password" pairs, which I previously missed, you'd had me in your boat within 5 seconds.
  • You seem to have the idea that InfCom consists of five infrastructure gods/super-heros. This is not the case. We are as good and qualified as everyone else. This is why we ask you to make your case. And this also means that we are not above you or anyone else in the NXT community, so there is really no reason to play the "but whatever, just ignore the dev/average user/small investor/whatever" card.
  • Regarding me not caring, I'll keep my mouth shut on this. Just note please, that committees are not there to run NXT and decide for the NXT community. It's the job of everyone, so if you think Tor stinks, please do the research yourself and make your case. The issue I've created for it is here: https://bitbucket.org/nxtinfrastructure/committee/issue/33/tor-enabled-capable-nxt-clients  It needs feedback.

For the user who was asking about wildcard SSL (I think it was xyzzyx) the cost to do it anonymosly is fairly high, almost 500 euro.  So unless someone knows that rapidssl/comodo/someoneElse will allow purchase with either anonymous or with known-to-be-not-real ID (startssl is very strict about real names, address, TN, etc) then thats the way to go.

Wouldn't it be possible to let someone like rickyjames make the order for the (non-anonymous) SSL certificate?

I propose that 2Kool lock this thread at page 2500 and we do a mass migration over there.

Absolutely not

OK, everybody, your favorite dictator rickyjames here, flapping my gums wildly once more.

We've coming up on 2500 pages on this Bitcointalk thread.  What an accomplishment!!!  Woo Hoo!!!

We have a new forum that is Our Very Own at nxtforum.org .   Go ahead, enter it into your address bar of your browser, it works and it's a Simple Machine forum just like this one at Bitcointalk.  You'll feel right at home.

I've created a thread there called NXT Pub Thread - 2500 More Pages Here Or Bust

http://107.170.117.237/index.php/topic,91.0.html

I propose that 2Kool lock this thread at page 2500 and we do a mass migration over there.

It would be nice, neat, poetic closure.  And a new beginning.

Like this:

C'mon, everybody.  Think Nike.  Just do it.


I don't agree about closing this thread

thats the beautiful thing about having an authority. no need to bicker and argue over it for a fortnight. its up to 2kool4skewl to decide. incidentally i agree that he probably shouldn't close the thread but either decision is better than arguing about it. Cheesy

I don't really come from outer space.
For the user who was asking about wildcard SSL (I think it was xyzzyx) the cost to do it anonymosly is fairly high, almost 500 euro.  So unless someone knows that rapidssl/comodo/someoneElse will allow purchase with either anonymous or with known-to-be-not-real ID (startssl is very strict about real names, address, TN, etc) then thats the way to go.

That is much more expensive than I expected.

I've sent 2000 NXT to your itty-bitty 2319251 address to help pay for a wildcard SSL cert. (txid 4585985331078069817)

Hopefully, others will be inclined to do the same.  We only need a hand-full of people, say around 7 or so, to do the same and the cost should be covered.



Sending a little somethin somethin.

So if the first thing we do is prevent any business from being able to use their own name without extortion it is *hardly going to be appealing*.


what are they doing with domain names since internet is born ?

The domain names expire though. You have to pay to keep it. in nxt case domain are life-time. Even after you are dead, no one can still use them

That is not a problem. One could easily let an alias owner pay per 1440 blocks for the property of an alias. Nothing easier than that.

salsacz,

This is a little bit bombastic, but I think you might find it interesting.

http://www.ted.com/talks/danny_hillis_the_internet_could_crash_we_need_a_plan_b

it is interesting for different reasons - right now this video is super-boring for me, because we already have this and I have spent a lot of attention to mesh networks here: http://justpaste.it/nxt-decentralized-internet (Fiber optic cables are addition by NxtMinnow).

So the guy is like prehistoric talking for me. BUT - he was telling to the audience about something new. So the interesting part is - how he decided to do that. By 10 minutes faery tale and 5 minutes of very uncertain datas. No techbullshits Smiley

The biggest issue I see is you have to really quickly choose which neighbor to forward each packet too.  If you have even 1 extra ns of latency per person when forwarding it on but multiple that by thousands of people along the way, it adds up quickly.  Anyway point is, I'd be interested in discussing this further.

I actually spent a little bit of time thinking but this idea, I'm thinking it could be done with special ASICs and an algorithm that routes network traffic based upon geographic location.  If anyone wants to, I'd love to bounce it around a little bit.

Sorry, but as long as this forum does not have ssl, I wont go there.

Call me paranoid, but I don't send my email nor any password as plain text over the inet...

LOL if someone actually uses your email address, the message and your address are sent in plain text, are they not?
