I don't use Nxt now because it is too difficult.
- yes, insert one single string "java -jar start.jar" into window in Windows - it's a very difficult indeed !!   Better go to bitcoin and try to find where your wallet.dat located...

Depending on the size of the marketing fund - we can do as many Press Releases as the budget will allow.

Shouldn't we have soft ready before doing press releases? Can u put that on hold for a while?

Edit: Also it's better to have source code officially open, coz most of trolls ignore the fact that non-obfuscated java binaries r open source actually. With officially open sources they'll have less chances to troll.

Well the donations will decide - as I can hold off until the fund reaches 0.5 BTC

Some media mentions are nothing to be afraid of - regardless of where the coin's at in terms of its development it can only be a good thing for the future of NTX Smiley

Building awareness before the launch of the new client is a great way to start building a buzz about NXT.

Sounds like a great client. I still have a floppy disk! Smiley

I hope some comments added!  Shocked

No. But I'll be answering questions in a special thread. This makes no sense to comment code like:

Code:
case "getPeers":
{

JSONArray peers = new JSONArray();
Set peerKeys;
synchronized (Nxt.peers) {

peerKeys = ((HashMap)Nxt.peers.clone()).keySet();

}
for (String peer : peerKeys) {

peers.add(peer);

}
response.put("peers", peers);

}
break;

Btw, I hope someone will get rid of all these synchronized keywords and will use a more modern approach (java.util.concurrent). Until that I have to stick to back-to-90s coding style...

The soft looks like a neverending project. If you compare the current client with the released on day 1, the changes are minimal. I don't see how it will be different 4 weeks from now.

Aye, almost nothing was changed in the interface. But 50% of code is already rewritten.

A press release and any major promotion should wait till january, when there is source code, and a client that works better (a native client would be even better). Nxt is not ready for mainstream right now.
Just my two cents.

How much does the community have to raise?

If we pay him, say, 1M then it's ~5'000 USD. But after his work done this million may be worth 500'000 USD...

approximately 0.5 btc..I am unsure how much that is in nxt...it should be somewhere around the range of $500

1M == 5 BTC

Thanks for the support Ola! Some members of NTX dev team expressed interest in a Press Release but unfortunately until now I had not heard anything else from them.

0.5 BTC to 1 BTC will ensure we can do a massive PR campaign Smiley

The only NXT address we have is on the dgex exchange - where NXT deposits are made manually.

So BTC donations would be best. All BTC will be used to purchase NXT on the dgex exchange - as I want to hold more NXT as well as supporting the project Smiley

BTC address for NXT campaign: 1DhWW2JhTFn1sx8wrMTDPDv6UnDUsbShnk

Once we reach at least 0.5 BTC we can get the ball rolling Smiley

Depending on the size of the marketing fund - we can do as many Press Releases as the budget will allow.

I will update this thread once we have reached 0.5 BTC - and then I will work on writing up the Press Release.

how does the author of the soft wants people to support NXT, when the code is not yet open   Huh Huh Huh

can give you an example: I've bought 1m next, and half of it I'ved already shared with my friends for free... BUT the whole stake is still on my account since all my friends 4 of them devs , and 1 noob:

a) don't want to install the wallet since is not open source and it's risky (devs case)
b) can not install it coz its to complex (noob case)
c) don't have the the time and patience to install the soft (my case)  

and after this you still write that you will stop the project ? Smiley
i think you need understand that until you wont release the code in public
you dont need to expect any one to do anything, did satoshi made any kind of this noise ? )))

peace

yesterday, I upgrade nxt client to 0.3.18, it works fine until this morning,
the block file stop to grow, 8 hours passed, the block number stoped at  14499.

One of the (hall)marked nodes crashed and let me to spot a flaw in blockchain downloading algo. I'm fixing it right now.

Come-from-beyond In p2p application especially in my poker app, how can we transfer the security from nxt to be used in a p2p application to remove 51% attack capabilities as an added protection? I am interested in this because I am devising global accounting schemes confirmed and verified by participators in the p2p poker app. It would be nice to get your input in this.

I'm not sure I got ur question. Could u paraphrase it?

How can we take advantage of nxt security and resistance to 51% attacks to use in p2p applications that might be subject to 51% attacks also.

Host all data on the blockchain. Then u won't need a server, a domain name and u can run a controlling node thru Tor. Whoever decides to attack ur poker game will have to bring the whole network down.
