True, color blind people confuse color, simple remedy is to add some simple text next to or on the color.

Not sure this will help... If u looked at a red icon but saw it as a green one, would u read the text? I wouldn't.

Subconsciously you do. The text would be associated with the color. You familiarize with everything when you first load the software and it is new, just like when you first get a new car, afterwards everything is second nature, light switch positions etc.

I like that!

From hand optimized large number math operations to peer to peer synchronization with blacklist and hallmarking to hardcoded genesis block with founders acct #s and starting NXT, all included in 6800 lines.
No obvious bugs, feels like trying so solve a rubiks cube, but this cube is a sphere and a triangle at the same time. High level, low level and everything in between all interconnected. This will take a team of experts to fully understand and find the flaws. My guess is that it will be along the lines of allowing tainted data into a validated block by some mechanism like trusting a node that shouldn't be or some such thing.

Yes, I would read it if I see red and green with the same color Tongue

I think that using symbols instead of text would be better though.

Everyone can see white text.
If not, they are truly blind.

already wrote about this two weeks ago.
the client wil handle it this way:

1. check if address is within own address book  -> green
2. if account exist within blockchain -> yellow
3. don't exist within blockchain -> red

simple visual control.

Some ppl confuse green and red... Smiley

Now, that's something interesting. Somebody deployed or developing a fishing page for NxtChg

It's located at coinsmag.orgfree.com/nxtchg_deposit.html

Here it is in zip:

https://nxtchg.com/nxtchg_deposit.zip

Want to join me in investigating this? Smiley

LOL, he's feverishly trying to request a withdrawal from my own account  Grin
Good luck with that.

I guess that's the nice thing about manual withdrawals Smiley

Might want to freeze all deposits/withdraws until compromised accounts are ruled out

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)

Thanks. Found a flaw already?

imo these nxt threads should include a clearly marked section "initial coin distribution any why it's fair" in the first post, I immediatelly disregarded this coin utill it was in the "list of all cryptocoins" as "lol scam" without reading further because of this.

also why hasn't BCNext posted since november?
he doesn't use this account. other
