Quoting this again as I need some more people to test it:

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.

My Nxt ID for donations is: 3209075099254042753 - any donation is appreciated.

Thank you,
Wesley

Some more screenshots:

Initial state when you open the page:



And after you click download, you get to see the dropzone where you have to either drag the downloaded file to, or click to select it from a file dialog.



hey wes  looks great. cool idea.
one suggestion, on the drag here page, maybe make a kind of "landing zone", "x marks the spot" because it didnt seem to want to let me drag to the whole page in chrome, just the green bar. is that right? and then when it didnt let me, it just unzipped the file three more times

but its smart and easy and keep up the good work

OK, I have added the functionality you requested. Redownload: http://nxtra.org/update/update.zip - now you should be able to drop the zip anywhere on the page. Let me know if it doesn't work.

Ok wes it works dropping anywhere but there is a bit of a UI problem

To get to the the test page you NEED to download the link. IF the hashsum doesnt match ( i dragged the file before it had finished downloading) you have to go back and try again from the beginning, and redownload again.

What if there was only one page? Links to the newest files, and after you download, you don't go anywhere, but just drag onto that same page. then when it compares the checksum, it just gives you a report, keeping the links and the drag it here box, so if you grabbed the wrong file, or whatever, it doesn't force you to do it all again?

Maybe post the current SHA256 on the page BEFORE you test, incase people want to test another way, the page could also serve to be a confirmation.

I don't really come from outer space.
I have been thinking really deeply over the pass week about how to drive adoption for NXT and this is my conclusion:


CONCLUSION:

1) Push Anonymous Messaging ONLY on WORLD CLASS DESIGNED ANDROID/IPHONE APPS (OUR FLAGSHIP APPS).

2) Make these APPS available on Google Play/App Store.


3) USE the current market situation to our advantage AS NO ONE IS NOW SURE ABOUT USING THERE MOBILE FOR SECURE COMMUNICATION....The NSA sent us a blessing in disguise....AN UNTAPPED MARKET WHICH THEY THEMSELVES CREATED.

4) Once Nxt Messaging has gained a strong following 100,000 - 500,000 downloads we start to Unlock/roll out other features of NXT ....ie. auction/storage/payment/Asset exchange/marketplace etc....thru regular updates once users start using the messaging app they become lock into the larger NXT ecosystem.


5) My real world examples are LINE & WECHAT....both started as msg apps but NOW OFFER IN APP PAYMENTS.


Chinese smartphone manufacturer Xioami sold 100,000 smartphones inside the WECHAT messaging app last month.


EDIT: The above is a Strategy for gaining MAINSTREAM ADOPTION which will give us payment possibilities without the need to push payment as our main selling point....this would be a unique approach for a crypto currency.

I like the way you think.

Question about dgex.

Send 6k NXT there 1-st January. Have 1900+ confirmations. And no funds in account. Tikets - no answer.

Is it normal situation?

Have you checked the transaction on the NXT Blockchain Explorer?

SMARTT

I've been waiting for this Heml.is secure messanging app for a while, but its not gonna happen, what with more and more Snowden NSA reveals.

However one suggestion! SMS options so people can use it ALL THE TIME, and then when they want truly secure ANON message, they can pay the 1nxt (or .01, or 001) to send that secure message.

That is correct, only to the green zone. I'll look into the possibility of having the whole page act as a dropzone. Good idea and thanks for testing!

And thanks for the 'screen' recommendation as well; looks interesting I'm going to study that.

After installing screen, you would type 'screen' which will open the new screen, then you would launch NRS in there, then hit Ctrl+a+d to detach and get out of your screen, then 'screen -r' to reattach to the NRS screen, and you can go back and forth like that.  If you aren't sure if there is a screen running or not, you can use 'screen -ls' to find out.  If there is one running, 'screen -ls' will also tell you whether you are detached from or attached to that screen.

It's dead simple and really useful.

IDEX - LIVE Real-time DEX
Its been more than a day that public nodes respond with:
Code:
for N in {1..100}; do curl --silent "http://node$N.nxtbase.com:7874/nxt?requestType=getState" | python -m json.tool | grep '"lastBlock"'; done
    "lastBlock": "2680262203532249785",
    "lastBlock": "2680262203532249785",
    "lastBlock": "2680262203532249785",
    "lastBlock": "2680262203532249785",
    "lastBlock": "2680262203532249785",
    "lastBlock": "2680262203532249785",
    "lastBlock": "2680262203532249785",
    "lastBlock": "2680262203532249785",
    "lastBlock": "2680262203532249785",
    "lastBlock": "2680262203532249785",
Huh
Other nodes that accept public request returns, what appears to be a valid lastBlock...
However, all public node*.nxtbase.com nodes, for days, still returns same lastBlock 2680262203532249785.  Undecided


 I'm working on this. They seem to have gotten stuck after the upgrade yesterday.

This may be a simple solution, but my node running on Digital Ocean seems to stop every time I close my Putty window.  I didn't have this problem in the past.  Any ideas?

Add "nohup".

Thanks, that did it!  And thanks for the 'screen' recommendation as well; looks interesting I'm going to study that.
