I try to persuade my dev team to post here their CVs for transparency - it seems they don't have any anonymity issues but they are making some second thoughts if this is good for them.

I wouldn't advise to reveal real identity of those who work on Nxt core...

I know what you mean but sooner or later someone has to be 'Gavin' Tongue

an ALL-in-one Info Central App?

Will the app have a notifications function? for breaking news, etc.

Absolutely... and users will be allowed to decide when and how often notifications are delivered.
Automatically its latest news/content in real-time (updated by default every 2 hours) and can be configured based on users needs.

News is key and I can bring it in from all official/unofficial (if qualified with good content) and crypto news/article sources.

Yeah, Ripple is a competitor, why use it to trade NXT.

I disagree. Ripple is a centralized payment network, Paypal 2.0. They can't compete with Nxt.

Why not try nxtchg.com. Works OK for me and fast (so far) on deposits & withdrawals.

All alternatives r better than to being hostage at dgex.

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.

Quick post:

I will give the remaining of the 30K giveaway funds I manage to maco for his project - 15K beforehand and 15K after he finished and the community is satisfied.

The rest posters at the old giveaway thread (not the one Anon manages) will be paid from my pocket. Just give me some time guys cause I run like the coyote atm!

They are not Google's or Microsoft's engineers but they are very professional and in any case who gives a shit about these NSA's show cases...

klee, thanks a bunch for being supportive. NXTers, we are looking for feedback.

Do you believe a total of 500,000 NXT bounty would be recommended for an ALL-in-one Info Central App?

What will this app give NXTers?
Inside the app, users will receive updates in real-time for any latest news/press,
latest discussions about NXT via reddit/official threads/forums, videos across
our networks supporting NXT, and much more...

Here is where it gets interesting... we save users time by having them access
everything (EXCEPT a wallet/mining function) via their mobile phone.
Maybe an Online Wallet is good enough... That is for later discussions.

We will bring in Mining information/articles, tutorials, exchanges,
stats/charts, marketplaces, businesses, payment processors and
much more will be added as 'resources' within the app so users
will have access to this content at anytime they want.

Those who donate will have early access to the app (Android-Google Play markets).

Here is a little update with my progress thus far... This is going to happen, and I expect to
grow NXT with this app for users to have More Access at their finger tips... with no hassle.

Read the FULL Development Thread here https://nextcoin.org/index.php/topic,1767.0.html
& Donate to suggest resources & Receive invite Early before release
(please let me know the transaction you posted from) send NXT to 140107654656861197

Don't forget... this discussion was in the middle of the dgex drama and most people were NOT thinking clearly.

It felt to me that the Dgex situation was being used/manipulated to further Ripples aims and not HELP Nxt. The benefits to Nxt were short term, shortsighted and potentially harmful.

Which really turned me off from the idea.

Yeah, Ripple is a competitor, why use it to trade NXT. Besides, if someone wanted to diversify into Ripple, it's enormously overvalued, at least relatively, to NXT, and I suspect, artifically overvalued, since a lot of it is still being held by one company. I'd conclude, nothing to see here, move along

I don;t think 4 weeks (~1 week testnet) is a long time to wait for our dear Asset Exchange.

The active orderbook on ripple is in NXT/XRP for now. Wow over 250,000 NXT active! The spread is bid 2.7, ask 2.8 XRP per NXT. Currently BTC is right around 30000 XRP, so 3 XRP = ~.0001 BTC

I insist that you urge people to place their Bids/Asks at Peercover's NXT/BTC gateway... not NXT/XRP.

Having a good NXT/XRP order book makes it more likely that people can find a good conversion path when paying in NXT to a recipient desiring some other arbitrary currency. XRP is the most highly traded bridge currency on Ripple, and having fewer hops when sending payments at market rate is a good thing.

Don't forget that you can spend your NXT via the bitcoin bridge simply by entering a bitcoin address as the recipient on the send page. You then just select the currency that you want to pay with (NXT) and a few seconds later the BTC will get transferred on the blockchain.

It's look efficient but I still don;t like this idea...doing the above will only inflate Ripple's numbers....it does not help Nxt in the long run and starts a dangerous habit.

Shouldn't James's darkNXT be treated the same as "anti-coins"?

If yes... once the exact DarkNXT amount is known...we should remove them from total Nxt coinbase.

Both DarkNXT & "anti-coins" are gone forever (at the moment)

Anti-coins did, darkNXT can be recovered.

Is there a max limit to block size similar to Bitcoin's 1Mb? Is it possible for the forging node to add crap data into the block to flood the network?
