yes 2 of my 6 are on that exact one.  4 of the others are doing different things though.  not sure what to do..  should we be using 0.4.0 on the vpses or 0.4.2?

I hope the software knows better how to handle this in the next releases, let's leave it at that for now.

Just hallmarked 4 nodes with 10 Weight, welcome DDOS. Everyone do the same, it's oh so lonely here under DDOS Smiley

Actually Weight 10 doesn't attract so many zombies, so it's pretty safe.

Create a special account, put 10 NXT in it, create a mark against that account and hallmark your node. This is for those who just joined the conversation.

We will see, market will tell us.

But I do not think it is wise to buy something what others had printed and has in billions.

Looks to very similar to Ripple coin, although NXT is improvement to Ripple .

Do people like Ripple?

For a currency to exist, someone has to generate it. I don't like ripple because they were all initially produced and owned by Ripple Labs, a private organization, whereas the public offer for nxt was open for a month, and was just that... public. It's not just some insiders who hold large amounts of nxt, we all had the chance to invest.

NXT is becoming more distributed by the day, the amount of trades on dgex is growing. When decentralized exchange is in place, it will even get better.

Someone keeps registering all aliases, I hope he will have money left to register assets like "Bitcoin" and "USD" Cheesy

register assets.....what do u mean there will be ownership of asset names in the Nxt Asset Exchange?

and this would be separate from alias in the wider Nxt ecosystem.

I see some people will invest their money.

But billions in hands of few feels like "scam". I do not want to be rude here. Apologize. Sorry.

This few with billions think that they have right to distribute the money.

Yes, it could be true from their side.

But I do not think it is opinion of others.

Until people will find out, the coin value could go up.

But if they will find out, it maybe will crash.

The way it would not go up again.

But it could be eventually more than month future.

I would feel better from currency where the coins are distributed fairly.

What is your opinion?


We will see, market will tell us.



So... what are you seeing happening a FULL month now?

Maybe the solution is this:

If you hallmark your node, you only communicate with hallmarked nodes and these hallmarked nodes are prioritized by balance.  A hallmarked node could change a setting to allow communication with non-hallmarked nodes if they believe they can handle the requests.  Maybe connections to non-hallmarked nodes could be throttled to 25% of your bandwidth.  The hallmark node could enter their in/out bandwidth manually.

If you do not hallmark your node, you communicate only with other non-hallmarked nodes and those hallmarked nodes which allow it.

pullThreshold and pushThreshold set to 1 will prevent communication with non-hallmarked nodes (for outbound requests).

Once a node makes a request and doesn't get a response in 'x' time, it then needs to try another node until it receives a response.  It should try nodes in increasing ping time order.

I think having the network reliant upon VPS provided by benefactors is a bad idea.  Nxt will then be centralized because it will depend on the people paying for VPS and the VPS providers.  Both of these can be taken down.

To prevent communication with non-Hallmarked nodes, the first thing we need to verify the peer whether it is hallmarked. So how to verify it? I'm confused.

- simple. First time verify the IP. If it is not hallmarked, you put it in your black list. Thats all.

Oh, thank you.

Maybe I get it, by getPeer API:

nxt?requestType=getPeer&peer=IP

Everybody talks about decentralised trading.

But the real big issue is that this money printed are centralised in hands of few already.

Do you think that they will send their money to others?

Do not you think that they would like to hold their power for the future?

If yes, this coin probably could fail because of this.


What you are suggesting is already NOT happening!!!   Wink

Aren't zombie scripts a temporary problem anyway until the network grows?  Once healthy nodes outnumber zombie nodes, there won't be this problem.
- of course it is constatn problem, becouse zombie is very cheap to attacker. Only need to put hallmarks make zombies much much pricie to attacker.



Come-from-beyond said earlier that zombie nodes are easy to identify.  Could the server attempt to validate the node on connection before it requested data and if the validation failed it would try another peer?
- it is easy only now. The attacker will quickly modify his zombies. It is like viruses.

Thanks.
