btw, the output is a valid json standard or is there a missing comma after each array?
one more thing, if you add a unix timestamp to each array, time math and aggregations
for data visualisations are much easier and faster. could you add this to your cgi output?
Yes, feel free to use the ticker. Timestamp added, please use a less resource intensive version at

http://dgex.com/API/trades.json

It updates on the server once every minute.

So anybody who has a suggestion or offer for Nxt project, please post it here or preferably open a new thread and let people comment, discuss and decide about your idea there.
Not intending to intrude, but we may have quite a bunch of active folks lurking / setting up here in the Bounty requests & assignments at nextcoin.org. Soonish we will have a built in facility to send bounty NXT to each other WITHIN the forum.

There is no "cold storage" alternative offered.
You are wrong. The code that transforms passphrase into account number is open. Moreover, on this forum were presented two offline programs to generate "nice" account numbers like vanitygen for bitcoin. You can ever make an analog of directory.io with all passphrases and corresponding account numbers.

showing the actual nxt quote there would be nice.

Added warning for secret phrases < 30 symbols.
Unlike Bitcoin, Nxt presently relies solely on brainwallets as the means of user authentication.  There is no "cold storage" alternative offered.  I see this security model as a vulnerability, and as future PR problem hurting mainstream adoption if Nxt coin heists do start happening.   Brainwallets are surprisingly tough to get right for the unsophisticated user.



I just disconnected from Internet, started the client & generated offline cold storage address (wallet).

This may help some, but it is worth noting that human brains are notoriously poor at generating enough entropy for a good brainwallet passphrase.   Bitcoin lore already has too many stories of brainwallets drained by attackers running dictionary attacks.  I've seen discussions here, on reddit, on on blogs that provide proof-of-concept code showing how attackers can maintain a local copy of a blockchain and execute a dictionary attack while entirely offline.  The operating assumption (for Bitcoin) is that these attacks are underway and increasingly sophisticated.  

Presumably, the same kind of attack could be tailored to the Nxt Java client here, particularly once the source code is released.  If the value of Nxt rises, Nxt brainwallets would become a more tempting target for any attackers that have already honed their skills on cracking bitcoin brainwallets in the past.

Yes, actually he sent me this offer week ago, I asked him to post it publicly for the public to see and assess, so if the known faces of the project, especially donators approve it, I can finance it from the donation pool I've already gathered for supplying  bounty projects and that promotion based giveaway. Anyway, I've already told him in the pm that the payment will be paid only after the publishing promises are done  at the agreed news sites!
So all of you please make a comment on his offer.

great! sounds very good. with payment after publishing i see no risk at all
but timing is everything here. as cfb mentioned, the system should be as
stable as possible before doing this.

btw, i was thinking to use 25% from donations i recieve for wider adoption but if you
handle the marketing part it would be easier for me to send it to your donation pool.

if this makes sense, please drop me a note.

Yes we will only pay after the job is done, that is the way to go for every other project based payment too!
About donation pool, actually I just gathered that pool to supply the already posted bounties+ the promoting-based giveaway.
So you better keep those donations for when there is a particular bounty you would like to supply. When we get a foundation constructed, we can gather all the donations received into one multisig-account. This way I also feel lighter Wink

There is a problem here: I receive a lot of pms with offers for translation, collaboration or direct business suggestions, with 80% of them demanding some Nxt in return for. I guess some people started to think I am a manager or decision maker for Nxt. This is not true and I don't like it..
I AM ONLY A STAKE HOLDER WHO TRIES TO PUSH THE PROJECT FUTHER A BIT, AND I MAY RETIRE DOING IT AT ANY TIME SOON WHEN I GET TOO MUCH BUSY IN MY DAILY LIFE OR WHEN I GET TIRED.
So anybody who has a suggestion or offer for Nxt project, please post it here or preferably open a new thread and let people comment, discuss and decide about your idea there.

I remember seeing that the network needed more well-know addresses. Do we still need more of those, and if so, how do I volunteer?

Yes, we need more. Post ur IP/domain.
