Any update on when the 3.15 will be release?
Totally locked with 3.14, stuck at block 9157, only generates incorrect blocks and the balance is sometimes 0 and sometimes the actual one Angry

Good morning, guys. Someone is attacking the network trying to disrupt it. Read my post - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.3856526
Yes, and seems like our networking is too dependent on the bootstrap nodes. Last night fluke.airdns.org crashed with the java process exceeding the 1024 number of open files limit. At that point it had more than 400 active peers. I increased the open files limit to 16384 and restarted, this morning it had crashed again. Right now it is at 200 active peers, will see how long it lasts.

Aye, we depend on bootstrapping nodes. Luckyly if a node got a list of other public nodes it doesn't depend on the bootstrappers anymore. In the future I'm planning to implement a special fallback mechanism that will let to connect to nodes unreachable from the Internet.

yes, have raised ulimit too, running with 300+ peers fine now.
do you have any additional/usefull port restrictions to protect your node?
Not really, it is behind a vpn which effectively acts as a firewall, the only ports forwarded are 7874 and 7875. And there is nothing but Nxt running on it, with -Xmx3584M.

have had the same problems with nxt-bce last night.

Quote
badMessage: java.lang.IllegalStateException: too much data after closed for ...
badMessage: 400 Illegal character for HttpChannelOverHttp@235eb171{r=0,a=ID ...

the explorer was also flooded with bot api requests, not from local fetcher.
changed to 0.3.14. and now it seems better. i tried to bind allowedBotHosts
to localhost but this doesn't work. is there any additional tag i have to set?
(otherwise i could solve this via iptables)

ps: cfb, anything we can do to support you against the hackers?


Use http://myserver.com:7874/nxt?requestType=getMyInfo, put value of "host" into allowedBotHosts.

PS: I'm preparing a long post about 0.3.15, will post it very soon. 0.3.15 is a "migration" version to prepare the network for 0.3.16 that will have a special defense against cancer nodes.

Is it worth mining at all (I have 100K NXT)? Or should I have had more coins?

when click "unlock",a win pop up and says
java.lang.NullPointerException
why?

Same issue. Any fix?

Stop your software.  Then, in your nxt folder, delete all your .nxt files and replace them with their cooresponding .nxt.bak files:

- delete accounts.nxt
- delete blocks.nxt
- delete transactions.nxt
- rename accounts.nxt.bak to accounts.nxt
- rename blocks.nxt.bak to blocks.nxt
- rename transactions.nxt.bak to transactions.nxt

Restart your software and check your client.  Let it "catch up" with the blockchain and see if your issue is resolved.

If NOT, you can always do the "brute-force" approach: stop the software, delete the nxt folder completely, and download a fresh installation of Nxt.  Your account will be fine -- it's in the "brain" and not on your computer.




Thank you! That solved the issue SmileySmiley


I'd also like to ask you one more thing, since you seem to know a lot about NeXT: should I just leave it open to be able to mine? I purchased 100K coins.

BTW the newset block that my client sees is #8689

Well, I can answer that. You need to unlock your account and wait 1440 blocks since the first transaction into the account. Once that period if over, if everything is working correctly, you'll see "X hours Y minutes till next block". That's your mining timer. It'll reset every new block. You'll get it when you see it.

Once you unlocked your account, if you want, you can close the webpage, but leave the java applet running in the background to continue mining.

Also, just to make sure, do you have a 30+ char password? (That's not prone to dictionary attacks) Been seeing a lot of people losing their NXT due to weak pass-phrases.

I have a very strong password, thanks.

Thank you also for the tip of closing the web page, while leaving the applet running. Is it worth mining at all (I have 100K NXT)? Or should I have had more coins?

can someone help? I am getting this error on mac :  

2013-12-06 22:18:52.430:WARN:oejuc.AbstractLifeCycle:main: FAILED ServerConnector@14a61465{HTTP/1.1}{0.0.0.0:7874}: java.net.BindException: Address already in use


help me I am in process of starting a trade and I cannot access my account

See that first message?  It says that port 7874 is already in use on your machine.  This could mean:
- some other software on your computer is using that port
- you're already running the software once and java is trying to start another instance

Try rebooting to get your Mac into a fresh state, and try again.

Also, what java version are you running?  Execute this command:

java -version

...and take a look at the output.  Nxt requires Java version 1.7.  If you have anything older, go to http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7-downloads-1880260.html, where you can download the updated JDK (you want the "Java SE Development Kit" download!)
