I think if we integrate application level URI schemes (i.e. nxt://, as someone suggested earlier) http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/aa767914(v=vs.85).aspx, with a distributed storage parallel block chain to host websites -- the value of nxt would go to 2 BN in about a week.  

Simple answer, NO

if this is possible and nxt it does not the competence will do it

I highly doubt the competition would do this without building in some way of not being shot down by a smear campaign.
We may not like it, but "child porn" and "terrorism" are surefire ways of killing appeal immediately.
Doesn't have to be true, it just needs to be mentioned.

So instead of stuffing our heads in the sand, if we want to do this, you need a plan on how to answer those questions when they are asked.

"People are free to do as they like" is not the answer that will help.

Edit: so, are there other answers to that question?

ok, i agree
we must to look for solutions to this

I am in the process of testing pool servers for "the coin that shall not be named", so no guarantees about uptime or proper coin allocations until I am done.

A configurable list of servers will be the only servers the clients would be able to submit to.

The main server will then poll these servers and tally up the results, including identifying the naughty NXTaccts. When the cumulative earnings exceeds the threshold (now at 100) it will still automatically send them. This is for testnet so I can make sure the delivery mechanism is still working.

There is no realtime reporting via client anymore, but I am planning on having a webpage with the latest stats, so at some point the clients can parse that page. The issue is that each pool server gets submissions from a subset of all NXTaccts, which might or might not be changing IP addresses. So only the main server can tabulate the results and identify any double submissions and know the total contribution. I realized that instead of sending all this back to each pool server, I might as well keep it centralized for now as adding a return results phase just adds lots of network traffic but doesnt make things any less centralized. Since each block is independent from the other blocks as far as new submissions go, there is no reason why the "main server" cant be rotated, but that requires syncing account balances and blacklist info and for now I have other higher priority tasks, like creating queues for all paths within the multigateway and custom multisig accts for each deposit.

The same two level server topology will be used for other projects, so I want to make sure it is scalable and solid. Maybe I got a bit carried away, but I wrote dynamically resizing hashtables so that lookups for IP addresses and NXT accts are effectively constant time (I dont allow >80% full hashtables). I made it so that the hashtables can be used for any datastructure so I will port the asset code to use them. Linear searching is only viable for small datasets.

I also implemented protocol handler registration for the networking side. This allows variants (different ports) to each have their own set of funcids handled by separate functions. Each with adaptive sized input and output packets to eliminate excess network bandwidth. Kind of a pain to have to define a pair of structs for each variant.funcid, but at least now it is pretty extensible.

Not bad for a simple C programmer!

Will a distributed storage parallel block chain make more terrorists?

You can mine them.

welcome back.
would people using the websites for illegal purposes be a concern?


Well, it would be "a" concern, it just wouldn't be mine. There are currently 25k+ terrorist cells operating on torbrowser, which gets 80% of its funding from the good old USA (Specifically the DoD).

Allow me to introduce myself, I am an early investor in NXT, and have been floating around various community forums since november under different names. I know C++, Java, PHP, Javascript, Html, CSS, SQL, Python, and HDL (Hardware Description Language).

I haven't been around for the past two months because of health reasons, but now I want to contribute in any way I can.

In fact a simple executable with root privileges could reprogram browsers without any user effort.

Thoughts? If enough people are interested I can fund this project out of my own pocket.

That would be no concern to us. People are free to do what they like. If they break a law intentionally and get caught, they will perhaps pay the price by the laws that govern them. The intention is freedom and innovation.

Is your Nxtwallet for windows still actual? I cannot run it. It starts, but cannot enter passphrasse, it waits for long time.

Are there some people left who're NOT dumping their Nxt? I see a lot of whales want out.

Why exactly is it?

show me more than 2 dumping whales in last 6 days:
http://87.230.14.1/nxt/nxt.cgi?action=3000&acc=10715382765594435905
- everyone is buying

This is what scares me. I noticed this too, that this price decrease has been done by only 2 guys and about 3M NXT in last 10 days. These 2 guys have still 60M together.
 
I hope other whales don't follow these two.

Why ? We need big whales to spend their money so that the coin is more fairly distributed. Best would be if this is done via forum or private deals though, so that it doesn't affect exchanges.
+1 This needs to happen for better distribution, just a big fart we have to rid of, in a few weeks/months Nxt will be stronger and evenly devided. Critics no longer can use the argument about unfair distibution.

With this background you can't do it yourself? Or do you still have health issues or no time? You would be a huge contribution to the community and I think all of this would be in your best interest. Smiley

I don't exactly know where my health is going at the moment, or my time. I'm committed to helping out and this is definitely in my best interest.

I could write the executable/protocol (protocol would be fairly simple, a entered URI would call NXT, NXT would interpret the URI and pull data from the blockchain and store it in a temporary file system, the browser would then read the filesystem and display the "index") for the URI scheme, but with the current way NXT is set up a string of data can't be stored if it is over 1kb. This creates many problems and will ultimately produce static websites that are about as slow as those on the TOR network.

To allow dynamic webpages on the NXT network onion routing needs to be implemented which I might be able to do, but it would take a month or two at least. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onion_routing.

It sounds great.I hate knowing nothing about programming when i read these things Sad.
Would it be linked with the alias system working as URL, or would it be totally independent??
It could be totally independent and linked with the alias system at the same time. The alias system on the main blockchain could be used to point to a segment of data in a parallel blockchain.  

Hi and welcome (back) to Nxt!

You should poke Jean-Luc and jl777 to see what they may like help with.  Jean-Luc is working on Nxt code, and jl777 (James) has a bunch of really cool projects he's working on and would love input.

Your thoughts on the nxt:// URI scheme is awesome, but I balk at the creation of any application that uses root privileges to reprogram web browsers.  That's a very suspicious-looking activity, even if it is well-intentioned, and most anti-malware packages will block it.

There are browser plugins that can be used to decode Nxt aliases, right now, as well as a URL forwarder at http://www.mynxt.info/fwd/.  I think the browser-plugin route is the easiest one right now; it's the same thing Namecoin is doing.

IMHO what we need first is some consensus on what format to use in alias strings (I think URI makes the most sense, and doubt many would disagree).
Thanks!
I'll contact them and see if I can help.

The browser extension route may be more kosher, and could be just as effective as an URI scheme. Instead of .onion (in context with https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tor/ohielanlcdleofjibfmjbbkaajdcpoil?hl=en as a proof of concept) the extension could be .nxt or something along those lines.
