Oh, I thought you retired already

You know, bad-ass grandpa in a stroller with a shotgun, chasing crypto-kids in real life as a retirement hobby.

That would be so cool!  

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

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?

What is the longest anybody has been able to run NXT server, before having to restart it?

Altho it pains me greatly to say this, I do not feel free to discuss my true opinions about Edward Snowden in a public forum.

Sigh.

Perhaps once NXT makes me independently wealthy, I might come back here and have several pages of things to say.

Technical question: is transaction ID enough to uniquely identify it or should I use the full signature?

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?

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 must admit: a pool with a jetpack dóes look very tempting! https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.4397630

Lol

This stuff is dead in the water. heh.

I'm tempted to launch FIATCoin, the Coin that comes full circle.

People could send me BTC to get discs of metal and sheets of paper.
The innovation will be that we agree to pretend we want them and that they represent value.

I think I might cash in on that one.

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.

Is this really correct? My understanding was:

 - If you tell the nxwork "send X nxt to alias Y" then there is no need for anything other than the forging node to do an alias lookup; and what the forging node forges is by definition either truth or eventually discarded as a wrong fork, so zero chance of fake alias info.
 - If your client is looking up up alias Y and translating it to a nxt account and then creating a transaction based on that, it's doing it wrong.

Needs network support for sending to alias, of course.

PM me on this

Hmm well that coin is just what 7 generations of in-breeding will get you!!

I've had a couple of people contact me about peercover deposits not showing up in their ripple accounts. This has been caused by NXT server crashing or hanging or getting lost. Until the NXT server is stable, fully automated process can be interrupted by having to restart the server. Then, the transactions will have to be manually reconciled to see which ones got stuck.

So far, the transactions have gone from the private deposit address to peercover's main NXT address. As long as it got there, or if it is stuck in the private deposit address, the NXT is safe. Just need to wait for it to be manually processed. Peercover did not expect all this manually processing would be required and did not staff a person to be dealing with this...

Is there a stable NXT server that can run for days and days without crashing or getting stuck, yet? I know there was some sort of attacker that made this problem worse, but I need to be able to tell Peercover which server to use and whether it is indeed stable enough for production (real money!) use

James

P.S. If you have a pending deposit, PM me and I will help track it down

So now you're telling me that every address must have an alias?

Then throw away addresses from the system completely and replace them with aliases!

And you will be back on square one: "johny" sends to "johnc" and loses his money.

Why do you think bitcoin has checksums? Just to be fancy? Out of boredom?

What, you 3 are so afraid of the cost of change, you willingly delude yourself into denial? What is it?

7th generation NOW out!
genious guy, looks so legit, thinking about sending him 100 BTC
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=404524.new#new
this is getting ridiculous?

It's nothing more than a quick temporary patch. In many cases people will send money to accounts that don't yet exist on the chain.
