Ok, once an Alias is assigned... will there be an input field for users to type an Alias and, therefore, get redirected or will users
need to type something like https://locahost...etc. to access Alias?

thnx

Links on webpages will be altered by a simple JS-script. A plugin is necessary to redirect to correct URI if alias is typed in a browser address field.

If you try and buy an alias that has already been bought, do you still pay the fee or is this returned to you?

Also, if you submit a buy order, all you get back is a transaction iD? Does this happen all the time (whether success or not)? Then how afterwards can we check if the alias is ours?

All you would have to do is brute force the creation of a key pair that digested the 1440th genSignature to a hit that was below everyone elses target. It would be totally doable.

This problem is super solvable though. BTNext should make the BaseTarget adjustable with an algo similar to bitcoins re-target algo. Then Increae the 1440 block (24 hours) restriction for effectiveBalance out to about 43200 (1 month) just to be extra super safe (its best to pick absurdly safe parameters when dealing with billions or possibly even trillions of dollars someday). Then finally make the nextGenSignature a digest of the prevGenSignature + the public key of the author of the last block. You couldnt game it with intentionally selected keys because you would have to pick the key 1 month ahead of time and there would be no way to predict who would author which blocks 1 month out since miners drop in and out of the network at random.

1440 blocks is safe number coz u have to know who will sign the 1439th block which depends on the signer of the 1438th block and so forth. To know future signers u must know future balances. Even if u know future balances u must know future topology of the network to predict which blocks will be orphaned.

im so sorry to keep pestering you. but why is this the case. inorder to do this

why must you need to know future signers?

BTW, the AS tx will be picked according to fee/size, that means, the network will pick the bigger fee/size if the name is the same, or the network will pick the biggest fee/size among all the names?

Among all names and a block won't contain 2 identical aliases.

Look forward to how many tx in block 22000, 22001, 22002, ......

the first stress test of the network!

Do people can order an allias at block 21,999 who will be validated at block 22,000?

No. Peers will reject transactions until they see block 22000. If block 22000 will contain AS-transactions it will be rejected.

Can we change URI afterwards? I have no idea what to put as URI...

Yes, u can. Leave it empty to get the smallest size of the transaction.

Thank you for your continious support here.

Could you maybe write a short explanation, just what it is and what it can be used for? So I have somthing to link people to?

Alias System is like decentralized DNS but, unlike DNS, Alias System can link names to any URI - website, phone number, email, bitcoin address, location, anything. Alias System is included into version 0.4.0 and will be activated at block 22000. Nodes that don't upgrade to 0.4.0 won't be able to validate blocks containing AS-transaction.

To assign an alias someone should open https://localhost:7875/alias.html, fill the fields and hit OK.

Aliases may contain only digits and case-insensitive latin letters. Currently it's impossible to transfer aliases to other accounts, but owner of the account can reassign an alias to any URI at any time. Alias is considered tied to an account after the 1st confirmation of the AS-transaction. NRS picks transactions with higher fees in the 1st place (actually fee/size ratio is used).

The most valuable aliases (like "nxt", "sex" and "batman") r waiting for that lucky guy/gal who will become a billionaire after squatting and reselling them...

Guys is there any documentation available for alias? I need to get that in the News ASAP but I my self dont really understand the Alias thing, so I can't write anything about it Sad

Best would be if there is some kind of a page I could link to.

No page yet, someone should put this in Wiki.

Oh, OK

No errors displayed. But after several minutes, I got tx id in sever response's textarea. So why it took so long time?

U connected to a lot of peers. Change pushThreshold and pullThreshold in web.xml to "1".

No response when I used alias.html to register alias name, what's wrong?

Check browser console for errors.
