I run 9 VPSs, why is it that lots of times, many of them see others as red flags?

did you set the VPS IP in "myAddress" at web.xml?

WHAT TIME (GMT) WILL THE SOURCE CODE BE RELEASED?....ITS ALREADY JAN 3rd IN JAPAN/AUSTRALIA......CHINA IS COMING UP IN 10 MINUTES.

Need an answer too.



im guessing here but i reckon the source will be released uk time and its still only 17:31 02/01/13 here  

I expect price will go down after someone finds a flaw. And 2 other flaws too.

I previously checked the (decompiled) source code and could see where the client checks whether it is eligible to forge (and calls generateBlock if it is). But I couldn't see anywhere where the receiving client polices the forger's right to forge. It gets a processBlock message, and handles it, but seems to trust that the forger was eligible. This could potentially result in a rogue node forging more than its fair share. I am looking at decompiled code (not the real source) and also missing comments etc so almost certainly missing the bigger picture here. Perhaps jl/cfb could quickly confirm.

pushBlock() checks that forger doesn't cheat.
verifyGenerationSignature() called by pushBlock().

What are your values for maxNumberOfConnectedPublicPeers and maxRequestsPerSec in web.xml?

Blocks Generated   :   3933
Fee Earned   :   60,718 NXT

this is a nicer hack  Roll Eyes

just before source release.. great!!

devs, please take a look into this ASAP, that person just generated another block.  They are obviously gaming the system somehow.  The balance on that acct has never been very high, yet they forge TONS of blocks

all,

remember....


Actually there will be 3 flaws in the source code.

It does get checked in the verifyGenerationSignature method.

People ask why Nxt is not inflationary. Could anyone tell me why it's not inflationary if it's possible to issue other currencies using Asset Exchange? This increases number of "coins" owned by users, right?

interesting question!

at least, inflation is increase of the price.
if we substitute 1nxt by 3btc we have increased the price for one nxt by factor 3:0.0001
... hm ? Undecided ?



this point has to be stressed again and again. You don't issue Bitcoin, litecoin or any other actual assets via colored coin tech. You  merely issue tokens or stickers that represent these coins . It's up to you to add a value on these tokens. They are basically IOU you issue. There would be a lot of uncertainty at the beginning of the asset market to see who can be trusted. Similar issue to the Ripple gateway currently.

some point are worth to be stressed.
assets - that means colored coins are the nxt featured will be released.
I think this can be discussed and is an interesting topic and an exciting technology!

cheers!

Nxt Mac 0.18 now available at http://nxtra.org/mac

Only change is inclusion of wellKnownPeers - which I forgot to include in the previous version.

What is Nxt Mac?

A mac version of the nxt client I made - automatic updates and single click install to make it easy to use.

Looks legit. 50M, he is supposed to mine each 20th block at 100% base difficulty.
