For those of us that are new.... I just set up my first NXT account today.  What happened with DGEX exactly?  Are they an untrustworthy exchange now?

Not so much untrustworthy, but they introduced fees very suddenly today with (afaik) no warning at all.
Been trading since the start without fees (except on fast withdrawal) but are now charging for trades and all withdrawals.

Fair enough, they gotta make money, but the timing could have been a lot better and it came as a big surprise to a lot of people, including me.

Just caught up with the thread.....bloody hell, my head hurts.

That was an interesting day:

Bad stuff:
Disappointed by DGEX, confused by market, annoyed by trolls, people leaving NXT team, sold short into rising market, bought back just as the market fell, got punched in the nuts by one of my kids - still hurts........

Can someone just cut out the hassle and give me a huge pile of NXT so I can retire and not deal with this anymore?

Oh well, moan over.

Good stuff:

Market seems to be wobbly but stable so far.

Source code is getting positive feedback all over, no real interesting problems found so far.

Lots of new people showing up on the fora, means lots of new peeps coming into NXT.

Lots of attention for NXT


I'm going to say (cautiously) that today was, on balance, a success for NXT.

Onwards and upwards....

All,
What a day again, but at the end, clients popping up, source code released, Wesley was here with new work etc...

Just to remind you all what a great community this is and I want to thank everyone for his great efforts.

We will succeed.

That said:

The only black spot today was dgex and its founder, as I cannot find myself in all what is happening there, and as I cannot accept the dictatorship of one person on the exchange and the forum I will leave the forum nextcoin.org.

I hope many will follow because staying there is supporting his acts and supporting that kind of behavior.
Only the best is good enough for NXT and imo dgex and its founder doesn’t fit in there.

NXT is more than some code and a client, it involves people also, it involves a way of thinking, what happened today with dgex can’t be further away from what NXT stands for. NXT is strong and getting stronger every day, and it will survive without dgex and nextcoin.org.

You can find me on https://forums.nxtcrypto.org/ where I shall maintain 24/7 support and helping people out if they having trouble

I don’t want to split the community but what happened today was a bridge to far and harmed us all, in favor of one.

Gooooooooo NXT

Is there anyway to calculate total amount of darkNXT in existence?

Walk the blockchain, adding up the balances of accounts that don't have an assigned public key?
Is there a API Call for this?

This will include accounts with known passphrases (where the public key doesn't exist yet in the block chain due to no outgoing transactions). I.e. notdarkNXT.

What is the consequence for an account without a public key?

Significantly easier to brute-find a passphrase that opens that account, but still impractical with today's technologies. I just mean that there will be lots of nxt which look like darkNXT (no public key), but which someone has put in cold storage with known passphrases and so aren't actually darkNXT. The current consensus advice to these people is to spend at least one nxt to secure the account.

People say your passphrase should be strong and at least 60 characters long. So it will be resistant against brute-forcing. But what is brute-forcing actually? Is it sending a random passphrase to the nxt network and hoping it will open an existing account with funds? and what happens if the random passphrase is a new one. Does this open a new account (and increasing the size of darNXT)?

I don't really come from outer space.
DGEX sent my first exchange withdrawal to an incorrect NXT address.  They were supposed to send to 12510982507347853737 (where they did send one withdrawal) but instead sent to 125109250734753737.  The second address is empty in blockchain explorer except for my transaction so I'm guessing it is unused.  Is there any way to get my NXT out of that account?
There is no way to get your nxt out of that account unless you know the pass-phrase of that account to access it.
You best bet is to contact DGEX and ask if they can compensate you as it's their mistake.
Please note DGEX sends withdrawals directly to the address provided by the customer.

Perhaps add a second level of security in checking the public key of the account, and if it doesn't exist, tell the customer the account number may not be correct and to double check it.  If they insist (funding an account for the first time, for example), display a warning about double-checking as funds will be unable to be recovered if address is wrong and require a captcha to proceed.

But theoretically I can still send Nxt to an account without a public key, in an offline mode.  But that is a good idea, I wonder if Blockchain Explorer can calculate easily.

No. Gone.

this is called darkNXT, we know it exists but it cannot interact with anything, short of cracking the password.

Perhaps this is why he is missing 800k Nxt.

Lol
