I'm also currently up-to-date.  Block 23154, block id 2955906398633219040

Increasing "maxNumberofConnectedPublicPeers" from its default value of "20" might help if you can't get in sync.

I increased this value and it seems that Nxt is staying synced better.

Any ideas how to know when it's downloaded programmatically?

I guess I could get the lastBlock from a known peer and time to that?

I was just refreshing http://mynode.com:7874/nxt?requestType=getState non-stop Smiley

I have question regarding accessing your balance using a node that someone else runs.

someone posted: https://nextcoin.info:7875/

I can access this node from any computer in the world and check my balance and transfer money, but is it really safe to do so?

regards

could you give an  opinion regarding this, CfB?

Give us time to mature, plz.

Well thanks for at least being a bit more mature in your response.

Maybe I am not your "die hard" supporter but I do think I represent many that are looking at NXT and I think what we'd mostly like to see is software that finds blocks.


I think its the underlying idea that NXT represents thats important. Specifically the way in which they allow for randomness in proof of stake "mining" is, in general, a quantum leap on the field of cryptocurrency. Will NXT be THE implementation of this idea to get it right? Well thats hard to say, thats going to come down to a lot of factors, one being the devs ability to overcome problems like these. It should be noted however that difficulties will be unavoidable, no dev team will be able to solve any of them instantly, and the ability of this dev team to solve problems like these remains to be seen.

The wallet with the passphrase ""  (reading: no passphrase) has 1 NXT in it, if someone wants to donate it to miners Cheesy

So... do you actually believe what you have been doing all day is mature?

I am done responding to your posts until you come to your senses.  

I invested some BTC into something that doesn't seem to be able to find new blocks with an exchange that doesn't even have https - so yes maybe I should not have bothered.

I do hope these are just some early issues that will get resolved and I will check on it again later - but for now I'd have to say that this is not looking better than other projects such as Mastercoin or Protoshares.

I'm about to bring 10 new nodes online. Should I start from nxtfiles.zip or scratch?


-Ferm

Scratch. Could u run them simultaneously and measure min, max and average time for complete blockchain download?

Any ideas how to know when it's downloaded programmatically?

Guide on how to restart NXT on a VPS if it's stuck.

1) log in to server using Putty (using your root login and pass, same procedure as in my Public IP NXT node setup guide).
2) run 'top' command, it will show a line similar to this for 'java' process:

2973 root       20   0 1166m 428m  10m S   0.0 41.8   9:57.51 java


2973 is your process ID.


press 'q' to exit top;

3) kill -9 2973      (kills the java process, enter your 'java' process ID number instead of 2973).

4) cd ~/nxt

5) apt-get remove openjdk-7-jre   

(this removes the heavy JRE, and leaves the openjdk-7-jre-headless lightweight JRE, which requires less RAM to run, skip this step if you had completed it before).

6) nohup java -jar start.jar &          (starts NXT again).

Wait a few minutes and check in the browser if you see the latest blocks.


If you get NullPointerException in your browser, go through steps 2-4, then run a, b, c:

a) cp transactions.nxt.bak transactions.nxt

b) cp blocks.nxt.bak blocks.nxt                     

(these two commands copy over the backed up blockchain and transaction files)

c) nohup java -jar start.jar &



If it gets stuck too often, go thru steps 1-5 as usual and then try to run command in Step 6 like this:

if you have a node with 512 Mb RAM:
nohup java -Xms450m -Xmx480m -jar start.jar &

if you have a node with 1 GB RAM:
nohup java -Xms700m -Xmx900m -jar start.jar &

if you have a node with 2 GB RAM:
nohup java -Xms1500m -Xmx1800m -jar start.jar &

+1.

CIYAM needs to stop cluttering up this thread with his trolling posts. We get it, you don't like NXT.

Guys, I'd like to know how many of u, who run Nxt on a dynamic IP, have 7874 TCP port open for incoming connections. I'm going to get rid of "myAddress", peers will try to connect back to each other to make Nxt network more symmetrical.
