no, hi did not:

You missed his later post where he stated that the Instant Transactions *needs* TF and was proceeding to implement TF as per the plan.

New version of NxtWallet for Mac available:

http://nxtra.org/mac/NxtWallet.zip

Shows blockchain download progress. Tomorrow or monday I will release the same version for windows.

It connects to TestNet at first start. you can switch to Main Net via tools menu. I suggest you test everything out in TestNet first as there may be bugs. We need someone to do an audit of the web code.

If you want the old interface, simply go to http://localhost:7875 (main net) in the browser when the app is running.

My Nxt id is : 8189784314684138350 - thanks for any donations.

yes, we need to slightly modify forging algo to prevent this:
.. I don't think that there is any point in you bringing that up *again*
- this will solve the problem of one big pool. Fear of one big pool prevent CfB from development of a forging power leasing (with Acc Control).

I hope you do realise that CfB is simply proceeding with the plan and ignoring all of this discussion (and personally I think he is making the right choice in doing so).
- no, hi did not:
I decided to use my right not to follow BCNext's orders that I don't like (it's allowed by the contract).
... No need to stick to the plan, IMHO. ...
Guys, review this - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/nxt-instant-transactions-with-guaranteed-confirmation-316104 - plz. I don't want to implement it and then see that the idea is flawed. ...

That was part of the plan and modifying the plan is something the people in this topic simply can't agree on so I don't think that there is any point in you bringing that up *again* (it has been brought up several times before).

I hope you do realise that CfB is simply proceeding with the plan and ignoring all of this discussion (and personally I think he is making the right choice in doing so).

Hey C-f-B...  is there any chance we get BCNext's 3rd plan ahead of schedule?    Roll Eyes

...it will make more sense to decide/agree on modifications once we have the full picture...

BAM!

Someone from tech team please reply to this question on reddit:

http://www.reddit.com/r/NXT/comments/1zzzt7/what_is_the_api_link_to_the_nxt_blockchain/

What is the API link to the NXT blockchain explorer? self.NXT
submitted 10 hours ago by Fandekasp
Online explorer is http://87.230.14.1/nxt/nxt.cgi?action=1, there is a text API in the footer, but without link. Anyone got the link? Or is there no api available atm?
Goal is to integrate NXT to CoinsManager, http://www.coinsmanager.com/. If you like this free Open-source project, feel free to contribute or donate, thanks!

Understand that it will not avoid pools.
Stakeholder will split their balances and created pseudo-nodes (if whatever forging limit you impose on accounts or nodes).
If you want to avoid pools the right way, find a crypto-solution.
- yes, we need to slightly modify forging algo to prevent this:

As noted before, this approach slightly favors bigger accounts; in order to make the forging power exactly (up to computational errors) proportional to the balance, one must use Wi=gi/|ln Ui| instead. CfB told me that BCNext preferred not to use logs in order to discourage splitting of big accounts (what for - anybody knows?). ...

Just relax and chill. Rome wasn't build in one day. This is one of the best communities for a crypto!

that is true but I dont see much agreement , just some bits here and there. that doesnt make it stronger?

1)
Because you do not see the full picture at the moment....the more time you spent here the more things will become clear.

The pace of development is very fast that's the benefit of independent actors we are all termites building a termite mount....it's very hard for each termite to see the end result of each individual termites actions.


2)
If you look at all other "2nd GEN COIN" Nxt is not doing too bad.

Mastercoin has been in a steady slide while Nxt have been pretty stable.

THIS IS A DISASTER.
WE COULD HAVE AVOIDED THIS DISASTER  IF WE HAD IMPLEMENTED INTEGRATED AUTOMATIC STRONG PASSWORD GENERATION IN ALL CLIENTS A MONTH AGO.
ARE WE IN AGREEMENT TO IMPLEMENT IT ACROSS THE BOARD NOW?

This was available in Offspring from day 1

I guess we all do what we think is best for NXT. Personally, I'm going to take a break from this community. Impossible this, impossible that. Whatever.

Don't take my "lack of interest" the wrong way - but we have literally hundreds of pages of "ideas" being suggested.

I myself had put up quite a lot of ideas which I've now simply decided are not worth fighting over.

The project simply can't move forward if we have to spend every day discussing every idea that is being brought up (whether they be good or bad ideas isn't relevant).

It's actually quite *easy* to come up with good ideas but it's rather a different thing to turn ideas into a working product which is what Nxt needs to be focused on primarily.

Here's how well things are going in regards to trying to get things done (for Nxt AT):
http://ciyam.org/open/?cmd=view&data=20140220164742097000&ident=M100V137&chksum=065ecf7d

So in the Nxt AT project there is currently 1 person doing anything (myself) and a total of 0.009 BTC available for the project to allocate (I won't complain about payment as I have received some BTC directly for my contribution).

The Mac client I am using first gives you this message before opening an account:
and when you choose a weak passphrase, you will get this message:
The other clients should implement this too.

huh,that is exactly what the official nrs client is ?!

I guess we all do what we think is best for NXT. Personally, I'm going to take a break from this community. Impossible this, impossible that. Whatever.

i have heard that nxt is going nowhere due to no strong joined development

is thatreally true?  i cant and dont want to afford to lose my investment if this goes lower

When people first open the client an account is automatically generated and people can receive coin immediatly . The password is saved in a "wallet.dat" equivalent. The user doesn't have to know it unless he search for it.
- you forget to add "IMHO".

How many times need I repeat to close-minded people:
...
All  clients should have password management system.  The client should generate cryptographically secure passwords and save them on hard disk in wallet.dat  ...
- I'm strongly disagree with this. This feature should be an option.

BCNext made brain wallet in Nxt on purpose. Russian government says, that those, who use any crypto, is a terrorist.

So wallet.dat is a proof that you have account in Nxt, so you are terrorist. Whilst brain wallet mean that you do not leave any trace on your hard disk.

There should be an option to either "save" or "do not save" your password to local disk.

+21

1. Download wallet
2. Create account
3. Save password?

If Yes > Password saved > End of story

If No > Warning message appears like; "Own responsability to save your password and it is important blah blah"

This will meet every user his need.
He/She can choose to create a brainwallet or a wallet on his/her PC.

So I'll ask again, why is there a need for a single 1000 TPS chain when you can have hundreds of 10 TPS chains?

I think the current idea of parallel chains are 99% independent, so there is no real interaction between them. I think that is the reason.
