Blockchain explorer really lagging behind with blocks and still showing 0.4.5

25650  id  11164540618032626279   412 % this is current block, right?

explorer is still on 25404, not good.

Is there an upper limit to aliases in the protocol?

Yes. Max 264 aliases allowed.

@CFB ....is the above Nxt node set-up helping the network in anyway?

Only if it forges or push transactions/blocks.

why is it that everyone keeps going on about thwarting the ddosers with an army of rasberry pi's? if you had 10 of them wouldnt you still have to run all 10 through the same IP address? isnt what we need more distinct ip addresses contributing not more distinct pieces of hardware? or are we not talking about each person getting a stack of pi's but rather a pi in the hands of every individual who is involved in this project?

I think that's why someone earlier suggested smartphones which number in the millions...don't know if that would solve the problem though

@ Nexern/CfB....couldn't "the Hive" feature work on android enabled devices if Raspberry Pi could manage it?

That's strange.
I applied for loads, can see one on my account page atm, but with that link I can see all the ones I applied for.
Hopefully a developer can help you out.

PM me with ur account id.

My aliases don't show up in block explorer either but I can still see them with the API call from my local and a public node too

i am having serious problems with the alias system

I get transaction
{"transaction":"1.........6"}

Wait till it's confirmed. Use 24h deadline, squatting is over.

Well we were talked about in the Washington Post where they started to talk about alt coins and such. Although we were refered to as NextCoin...should that just be our unofficial name from now on lol?

I would reserve every 10th blockgeneration right to the public nodes (every node has the same chance to generate a block), encouraging them to be up an running. If a public node is up and running AND an account is open on that node, it should have the right to earn some transaction fees (even if it´s empty - due to security reasons I wouldn´t leave my wallet open on a node where all my nxts are in)

Just my 2 nxts.

What do you think?

Any thoughts on this?
CfB? BCNext?

Nodes, that r being subsidized now, r supposed to become Service Providers in the future and earn money by providing off-chain services. They can be DACs after Smart Contracts r implemented.

Wanna repeat: don't invest more than u can afford to lose. And if u, %username%, just starting an investor career, divide your expectations of acceptable lost part of capital by 10!

Very good advice.

Java cmd was running for around  18hrs, woke this morning with the following warning message. Posting it here in case it is needed for development improvements.


Code:
2013-12-27 04:05:02.198:WARN:oejs.ServletHandler:qtp753866237-1087: Error for /nxt
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

Im on win7 64bit firefox


EDIT
Re started Java cmd and seems to be running again but with this extra line which I have not seen before.

Code:
[2013-12-27 06:34:32.481] 11: java.util.ConcurrentModificationException

Yes, there can be battery drain because of constant network activity. Probably, android client should strictly limit number of outbound connections, but I think it's acceptable to network because of potentially gigantic number of devices.

this could make Nxt a truly mobile payment/messaging/e-commerce platform in the palm of your hand...extremely user friendly...if we can pull this off it would drive adoption thru the roof.

Updates could be pushed out automatically or thru the Apps store to each device which could potentially number in the millions.


EDIT: Anonymous mobile payment/messaging/global e-commerce platform in the palm of your hand.

Is there a bug with the client ticker??

I own 1 million Nxt and my client has run for 12 hours. It started off saying that there were 10+ hours to generate a block, but basically for the last 12 hours the ticker has fluctuated from 15 minutes until to 12+ hours until. Currently it says 7+ hours.

What the heck is up with this thing? And it isn't new peers coming onto the network, because I have been watching.

Feature request for te future:

Ability to write a transaction to the blockchain that the presence of would prevent transfer of funds from your account until you write another transaction later to the blockchain that would allow 'unlocking'

Seems like this wouldn't be impossible
I assume you mean to make both transactions from account not being locked/unlocked. How would the network know whether you own the account you're trying to lock without compromising security? I think this feature would require a complete rewrite Tongue

Yes, would be fairly complex, maybe a hash of a second passphrase with something as the locking mechanism, and would be unlocked by hashing the second passphrase with the private key.

But this seems to imply a PKI type setup and Im not sure that curve/sha256 would do the trick or not.

But something along those lines would be EXTREMELY USEFUL.  But I may just be smart enough here to prove how dumb I am... Im no dev/coder.

Using portforward, a dyn DNS service and updating hallmark and address in the config on every IP change should work... Inconvenient, but doable.

there is no need to update hallmark and address on every ip change,
you generate hallmark against a domain, you put domain as myaddress and that hallmark into config, that's all.

I changed my domain NS to afraid.org, and then add second domain. However, I need to fill the IP address, but the IP address is dynamic. So I'm wondering I misunderstand something.

I also downloaded the client for DDNS, but don't know how to use it. The simple logic I think is, the client detect the IP every for example 5 minutes, and then update it to afraid database, so the associated secondary domain name will be directed to my local real dyanamic IP address.

so talk time would be a good indicator of how long the battery would last running the full client.

EDIT: I don;t think this battery thing would be a problem on the new 64 bit -- iPad air or recently released tablets.
That could be feasible. Tablets have enormous batteries these days and low power cores on the side of main CPU for simple tasks.

Compared to tablet's screen nxt is probably not very power-hungry  Cheesy

ANONYMOUS MESSAGING   Wink


Edit: Could Nxt run in the background even if the screen was sleeping?.....what about data would Nxt eat into Data plans?
