Would u be available for a skype or google hangout interview to discuss the source code n ur findings in a non technical manner like andreas antonopoulus so myself n other non tech folks can understand what has been written?

These are awesome! Very professional. Thanks for the hard work!

I have been looking at the source and ignoring the formatting style (everyone hates any formatting that is not their own) the code is quite clever.

In several places I thought I found an off by one error, or control flow problem, but so far the code is written to run efficiently and cleverly. Not much waste within the context of JAVA that will run on everything, which is quite a big requirement for something like NXT.

People complain about one it just being one file, but I myself do that until it gets to 10000 lines or so. It helps the compiler generate more optimized code, at least for C, if it is all in one file as linking is only to libraries. It is also much easier to make a release, just one file instead of many.

I am not familiar with all the JAVA built in classes, but there appears to be very little code for what NXT does and usage of the built in classes is part of the reason. I can see why jean-luc wanted to refactor the code. My impression is that this was written by a single person, not a team, but I have no basis for that other than a gut feel.

P.S. For those of you worried that the trolls will announce some sort of "source code is rotten" tirade with any merit, you can rest easy. Source code appears to be the work of a super-genius with a strange formatting style (indentation, spacing, eg. doesn't affect any actual code)

Hi Jean-Luc, CFB and others interested;

I'm ready with that client side implementation of an SHA256 test. I would like some people to test this. I have tested it on the latest Safari, Firefox, and chrome.

As far as I know this will only run in IE10+, earlier versions of IE are not supported.

You can download the files here: http://nxtra.org/update/update.zip

Unzip, then go to your nxt folder and navigate to webapps > root. Paste the two files there.

Now you should be able to open http://localhost:7874/update.html in the browser.

For this test you will always receive the update notice. An older version is hardcoded in. This is to allow for testing of the sha256 hashing function.

Just follow the instructions; download the client, and then drop it over the dropzone to see if it compares to the official release.

If all goes well you should see this screen:





Now also test it with another file, just a simple txt file or another zip, it doesn't matter. Just pretend this is a fake release.

If that goes well, you should see the following:



I hope this will increase the security of everyone, if you have any feedback, please share.

Thank you,

DGEX is down.
What will happen to my order? Will it be cancelled automatically?

Except for the extra low resolution. What's up with that? It's barely legible.

hello everybody

I have been involved with NXT since early December. I am a firm believer in its technologies and have become
a full convert to NXT. Being an advocate for NXT, I decided to make several infographics to help promote NXT.
I have originally posted them on nextcoin.org, under the username silversurfer. I am submitting my work here
to partake in the bounty and hopefully in generates some positive feedback. In addition I hope the stakeholders
can find some value in my work and consider me for the bounty. Either way, I am a firm believer in NXT and hope
everyone enjoys the infographics. Here they are:

I would like to give a special thanks to Uniqueorn over at nextcoin.org
He has been doing some wonderful things in trying to collaborate, coordinate, and organize the promotional efforts
for NXT. I firmly believe he deserves one of the biggest bounties and has recognized talented individuals within the
community to bring NXT to the masses.

Thanks

I'll take party in a private gathering/meeting with top exchanges of China and some other companies and investors in Beijing around next Thursday. I will give a short introduction of Nxt to them. Any suggestion for me and some promotional materials?

Thanks.
