How can client side enforce one time setting of sendmoney public key?

API v2 won't have sendMoney. Client soft will prepare transaction and sign it locally. Then the transaction will be broadcasted. This is 100% secure if client provides 100% security.

Just landed in paraguay.

Api v2!

Ok so in api v1 it is impossible to add second layer of security, but in api v2 it is possible to add second layer.

Was this the original plan? I guess it doesn't matter, the important thing is we now have a roadmap to 256bit ^ 2 security. Clearly with api v1 biggest threat is from weak user passwords, tainted downloads, key loggers and user errors.

The thing that really bothered me about v1 security was that there was nothing i could do to prevent the offline cracking of password, remote as the chance is, i want to be able to reduce almost zero chance to almost zero chance twice, especially if i will have most of my net worth in the nxt acct!

The fact that there is no parallel attack for the second password means that fragmented wallet will eliminate temptation of hacker who stumbles onto nxt password.

With v2 i will be able to bring in super large investors. Thank you for supporting my "unreasonable" request

So, the question for the devs is, will NXT allow multiple users to issue the same asset?

No


Why not?  Is it planned at any point?

N.B. There is a distinction to be made between assets (USD, Gold, BTC, etc) and stocks (MSFT, GOOGLE, etc).  For stocks, there should always be only one issuer.  However, for digital assets, you really do want to support multiple issuers because this gives you high availability, decentralisation, free market competition, etc.

Seriously, how do you think the one party who is allowed to be the BTC/NXT gateway will price his/her services?  With no competition the NXT exchange, as a whole, could very likely suffer from monopolies on assets like BTC, USD and gold.

That's my prophecy.

No


The follow on question is, of course, will the block chain implement some kind of feedback system so that asset issuers can be rated according to their honesty?

Yes

If coins are stolen....we can freeze them until a full investigation is completed.

I'm still thinking Global Voting shouldn't exist. Only local votings for assests in Asset Exhange. And there's no owner of NXT Asset. Decentralization, free will of devs and accpetance/rejectiveness of suggested new features of existance/future users (forum's opinoins and installation of new software — actions as voting of future). Market.

I also agree that there should be no owner of a NXT asset and that multiple users should be allowed to issue the same NXT asset (e.g. BTC).  This forces competition among asset issuers, so that the NXT exchange can be the best it can be.  With a single issuer of an asset (e.g. USD, BTC), then the fees/overheads might be too high, making the NXT exchange unattractive.

Also, having multiple issuers for an asset means that there is no central point of failure.  If one asset issuer dies or is a fraudster, people will use one of the others.  Thus, multiple issuers of an asset is required for the free market to work and probably required for NXT's success.

So, the question for the devs is, will NXT allow multiple users to issue the same asset?  The follow on question is, of course, will the block chain implement some kind of feedback system so that asset issuers can be rated according to their honesty?

AN OPEN MESSAGE TO EPIC THOMAS:

So where we're at:

13643712185318669838  contains 100088 NXT taken from Framewood's   697109629372813510  
15182566201738727933  contains 18665 NXT taken from plasticAiredale's    8439060069775407509      
16204974692852323982  contains 7808  NXT taken from PaulyC's  16821029889165561706    
9793828175536096502   contains 18197 NXT taken from newcn's   16886318053889080545    
12152013998194592943  contains  147690 NXT  taken from sparta_cuss's  11794318797680953099    

Note that

16204974692852323982  also contains 1155  NXT moved from four other accounts over a four minute period centered around 29.12.2013 08:20:00 , original owner(s) unknown

I can check whether or not stolen NXT has been returned using the block explorer:

http://87.230.14.1/nxt/nxt.cgi?action=34

EpicThomas, or whoever holds the keys to these bandit accounts, I urge you to reverse these transactions and return ***ALL*** NXT to its rightful owners, INCLUDING LOSSES UNDISCOVERED SO FAR.

You cannot convert this to BTC or cash because these accounts are being monitored at Dgex.  

I promise to drop my efforts to determine your real world identities if you return the NXT.  

I also promise to turn over to your local police department every scrap of identity information I turn up if you do not return the NXT you have taken.

The clock is ticking.  The choice is yours.

You should check out how this scammer got busted. Now he's sitting in Jail on million dollar bail, FBI pursued this mofo. True story, I almost got scammed by him. May want to talk with the cyberdude who busted him (he's got skills), tracked him down to his address, license plate, parents home, phone numbers. Got his ass sooo bad:

@CfB: You said you will open a thread for reporting bugs in the software. That thread will be on nextcoin.org, right? What will the requirements be for reporting a bug? Just state the file name and the line number or do we have to suggest a solution?

The thread will be on BTT. U r supposed to point to the code with a flaw and explain it.

How can I did not think about it earlier? Every asset in Asset Exhcnage will be having an owner (James's $s, or Bob's Cool Wheel or Mary's Microsoft papers) and NXT should not have one! No center required and even willed to be!

Anyway, I prefer having this thing done right to rushing to get to the market. People can have a taste of individual issuing tokens by burning their bitcoin first. Who survives at the end
depends very much on implementation.

Yeah, I agree.  Competition is good for both projects.  

That, and we get to see their mistakes and thus can avoid them ourselves.  

More distributed exchanges would also be good for crypto worlds in general. Easier to promote both. People have to unlearn many habits and adopt new habits. The more places for them to do so the better.

This depends on how fast nexern will release the client. Which in turn depends on if we can pay him for vacation.

I have a couple 100k Nxt waiting for nexern client to be released.  Regardless, competition is always a good thing in my opinion.

Glad to be of some help  Grin

Is there an easy sanity check to tell if your client is forging or not? I've had coins for about a week and no forging:
http://87.230.14.1/nxt/nxt.cgi?action=3000&acc=6933627427271736687

hey yurigeorge

what does your client say for "You can generate the next block in "

Problem is you don't have very much coin for forging, 22k is 0.0022 % which means if all coins were mining at all times, you would forge a block about once a month. Not going to get rich that way.. going to do much better with the increase of value in Nxt.

I have over 10x your weight, and I've forged 5 blocks, getting paid 7nxt all together. I mean sure if those hit $1000 they could be worth something, but...

I also should be forging one block every three days, right now sitting at 1day plus

Should we use power of Nxt network to attack those who attack us? I mean ddosing ddosers / black PR sites and similar things, we won't attack those who don't attack us, of coz...
Who decides? Or after VS, or there is actually center already that creates new decisions (in addition to original BCNext's messages). Right?

Can't make him quit his job, especially at such a short notice. He told me he does not need the money right now.
