If you forge non-stop with 60k, and if the total amount of nxt forging in the network is 500million (my guess - is there a way to find out?), then the probability of you forging exactly N blocks in 2 weeks is approx.:


So - if you found no block then you were indeed unlucky. Or did you find a block but it had no fees?

0.5.3 been running since released, so far so good. If it's still running OK in the morning that would a new record for me. Can't wait to find out.

There's a thread in this forum about bugs in the code release. After my client had been attacked, I analyzed, what exactly happened and figured out, how the attacker managed to get the clients to basically crash. JLP and CfB fixed that now mostly by 0.5.3, the only thing that is left is the actual browser page. So when you see negative blocks, just refresh the tab in your browser and everything will look normal again. On the server side (communicating with other NXT clients) the server now behaves normally, even if you don't refresh your browser window.
If you want to see what kind of bugs we're finding and that are getting fixed, jump over to https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/nxt-source-code-flaw-reports-397183

Updated to 0.5.3

I haven't seen Jean-Luc denying importance of this issue. Most likely fixing it seems hard for him now. And he has too many urgent issues to fix.
We should help him to figure out the right and easy way to implement solution. Once he says - "It'll take me two days to implement", nobody will oppose.

Nxt full source code (decompiled 0.5.2).

What I'd like to know, what developers doing about this? Because if I know they are working on it, I can be patient, but I find it worrying that a few times this problem was bought up, it was simply brushed off as not important, or even nonexistent.

New features are important, some of them I'm very much looking forward to, but these stability issues absolutely should take priority.

Do we know how to make the NXT server more stable. As it is each time it hangs, for personal use it is annoying, but not that big of a deal. Unless you are racing to the airport and can't send NXT!

Another technical question: what are transaction type and subtype?

$ curl http://localhost:7874/nxt?requestType=getConstants

{"peerStates":[{"description":"Non-connected","value":0},{"description":"Connected","value":1},{"description":"Disconnected","value":2}],"transactionTypes":[{"subtypes":[{"description":"Ordinary payment","value":0}],"description":"Payment","value":0},{"subtypes":[{"description":"Arbitrary message","value":0},{"description":"Alias assignment","value":1}],"description":"Messaging","value":1},{"subtypes":[{"description":"Asset issuance","value":0},{"description":"Asset transfer","value":1},{"description":"Ask order placement","value":2},{"description":"Bid order placement","value":3},{"description":"Ask order cancellation","value":4},{"description":"Bid order cancellation","value":5}],"description":"Colored coins","value":2}]}

About 36h with 0.4.8, 0.5.0 was really bad - gave up on this, Upgraded to 0.5.3 stable since 3h

LOL.  I'm no superhero, I'm just a some guy who still thinks in his mind he's still some high school joker pulling off pranks to impress the girls and is always surprised when he looks in his mirror only to see some aging grey haired guy fighting a potbelly staring back.   Enjoy every single day and every single sunset, you crazy guys and gals out there, every day there's one fewer of them for you.

Another way of looking at me:  If one American fueled only by curiosity calling himself rickyjames can find out so much about EpicThomas and ktirio2010 in the real world with just a few clicks of a mouse, imagine what 30,000 Americans fueled by $11 billion calling themselves the National Security Agency (NSA) can find out about YOU.  I'm a loyal American with a security clearance, so I've got to say that what Edward Snowden was illegal and he should be arrested and tried for felony charges.  However, I also believe he considers himself a patriot whistleblower who has sent a message that everybody on Earth and especially Americans should think long and hard about.  We are shifting very quickly in scary directions almost without any complaints or resistance or even caring thoughts on the way down.  The NSA is utilizing capabilities targeting American citizens today that the Stasi couldn't even imagine directing against East German citizens in the 1980s.

Even the FBI that I kept beating EpicThomas over the head about has changed.   I read they've recently dropped "law enforcement" from their official mission statement, replacing it with "national security" as their top priority.  And along the way, they've dropped from turning over 10,000 white-collar crime cases per year to federal prosecutors in 2000 down to under 3,500 per year and dropping today.  To me, that's  65,000 criminals per decade getting away with their crimes - most of them on Wall Street.   Forget about Al Qaeda - that kind of rot from within is what topples economies and societies.  Which is a decline we are witnessing every day, all you've got to do is read The Economist weekly and Zerohedge.com daily to see it.

Sigh.  Off on a rant, sorry.   This is why I am all for NXT - national fiat currency implemented by central banks using debt-based fractional reserve banking is a hundred year old experiment that is going to fail very soon, I fear, and something needs to be in place when it fails as a framework to rebuild economic ties between individuals.  Code harder and faster, guys, you're in a race with the apocalypse.

I did reload the GUI but only after I shutdown and then rerun NXT so I can't tell if all would be OK if I just reloaded GUI. I will check
on the next rescan occurence.

Im a loyal american veteran who not only served in the desert but went back as a contractor.  I also possess a security clearance.  And I cant find too much terribly wrong with snowden.  Now bradley manning is a different story though. fuck that guy.  except he'd probably enjoy it.

But how else could he expose the things he did, while staying legal?

When there is no other way, he did what he considered the right thing to do.

Do you think he should have just looked away?
