May I propose to not use the word darkNXT? It's not a good term in terms of PR and marketing.

Alright, here comes: LST

what does balance group mean?

E.g. an account with a balance of 150.000 NXT will go in the balance group "< 262.144", since 150.000 is between 131.072 (the next smaller group) and 262.144. All accounts with a balance between >131.072 and <=262.144 go into the balance group "< 262.144".

Somebody asked my to explain the deal with the checksums via PM, I think I should also duplicate it here, in case anybody else is confused.

--

We switch to a new format:

[actual_address][checksum]

So if your address now is 1234, we turn it into 123456, where 56 is a checksum for 1234.
It can be CRC32, or last 4 bytes of MD5, whatever.

Now users work with these new addresses and every step along the way the address gets checked to make sure it matches the checksum.

If the user makes a typo, it will be caught. If server's memory gets corrupted and it puts garbage into the "address" field of the transaction, other nodes will catch it and reject the transaction.

Checksums invented precisely to mitigate unreliable transport. They are everywhere, yet here we are aiming to manage huge sums of money with the cost of failure being irreversible loss of it and we don't use them?!

Yes, good idea but no need to make a new address. Could do 1234/CRC (anything after / goes) and this is verified by client, who removes CRC after verification to send money to 1234.

@BCNext: When will address checksums be implemented? Do you prefer to do it with 8,000 or 80,000 users? (Last one doesn't count, it's rhetorical).
Yeah checksums would be really good! How about implementing that?

How can one get a list of all created accounts? (CFB?)
Go through the blocks and see which transaction it has. Numbers with NXT on it are accounts. Wink

I would like to see a site where you can see the distribution of the NXT.

Lol, you read my mind or what?
Everyone wanna see it, especially in cool-3D and realtime, but so far no one actually did the work  Grin

Working on it as we speak :-)

... oh... i don't like the second picture.
So that means almost all NXT are in the hands of the really, really, REALLY big (10m+) stakeholders,
maybe just 200m NXT are spread amongst smaller stakeholders :/

Dirstribution is still one of the most important goals in my opinion...

The last column on the right in this picture is actually just one account, the dgex.com reserve account.

To get things into perspective: Anybody knows of such graphs for fiat currencies for some countries? ;-)

Percentage of wealth held in 2000 by the Top 10% of the adult population in various Western countries:
Switzerland   71.3%
United States   69.8%
Denmark   65.0%
France   61.0%
Sweden   58.6%
UK   56.0%
Canada   53.0%
Norway   50.5%
Germany   44.4%
Finland   42.3%

How long does it take for dgex to deposit my funds?
Transfered over 30k some days ago and still shoing up as pending. Sad
Could earned much more if I sold them 3 days ago. Fu**

Definitely DarkNXT. It can't get better. Seriously.

I like the original phrase DarkNXT.

Agreed, I think of antimatter personally. Nothing gloomy about it.

Maybe I'm alone with this association, but when I hear DarkNXT, I immediately think of Darknet and the gloomy parts of the Internet. I know that this is not correct, with Darknet technically being just an anonymizing network - but I think the public perception is like that.

Okay guys, my public node is running: 95.85.31.25

You can add it to your web.xml, it will run 24/7 and is also working as a Online Wallet under wallet.nxtarea.com.

It's safe, but I wouldn't recommend to login at my online wallet. Maybe someone will hack into my vps and change the client. So use it at your own risk. You can check the blockchain there.
