No need to prove. If other nodes disagree with this checkpoint they will just reject such a block in Master chain.

1. No, parameters must be hardcoded in software.
2. NXT can be used as currency.
2. NXT can be used as currency.
Just to check there was no misunderstanding:
1. By "software" you mean the NXT software, or the parallel chain software? I did not mean the creator can change the parameters at any time. But rather, the creator can specify the block rate when he initially creates the parallel chain. Or did you mean that the parallel chain block rate must be equal to the master chain's block rate?
2. Assuming the creator using a different currency (say NXT^2), how can this currency be traded with NXT? Can it be done via a decentralized exchange?
1. Yes, Nxt software. Block rate shouldn't be changed. No real profit, only disadvantages.
2. Atomic cross-chain trades.

And thank you again, generous donor, in funding 5000 copies of this to be printed at Austin, TX for my pickup there on Tuesday.
NxtMinnow, I will be sending you what I don't use in Austin for you to hand out in San Francisco. Mail 'em on to the next Conference when you're done with them.

and watch when that 85% is running to the exit (which they eventualy will do soon), omg that door will be much to small!
Weren't you supposed to sell your 100 million NXT a couple weeks ago?
busy with that.
you retards do not seem to understand it take alot of work and time to sell 100M specialy when noone is interested to buy. market is so thin i would kill nxt over and over and scare every one away (that would make me the bagholder)
it will take months to sell all unless i dump 50 to 60 times but than price will go to zero every time
I think you should get out of your mom's basement a bit - maybe find out what a pair of boobs feels like.
1) Are these parallel chains fully customizable? What I mean by is that can the parallel chain creator specify fees (even set them to zero) or block timer? Can these chains be changed in such a way that Aliases can expire and/or AM's not expire? I assume this should be possible as long as people are willing to deal with the changes and secure the parallel chain.
2) How can currencies be traded across chains? Will all chains use NXT as the "base" currency?

1) Imagine a chain generator.
That would take away the nasty work of creating a coin for you by setting some parameters.2) I consider NXT to be coin as well. BCNext, Etherium creator etc. can call tell their tokens not to be coins for whatever purpose. But in the end, these tokens are be traded like coins. If it behaves like a coin, it is a coin.

Not quite yet. Parallel chains can pretend to have reached 1440 blocks and further bloat the master chain.
What restrictions do we impose on the slave chains, that can be verified without looking at the slave chain itself?

Every slave chain can be checkpointed only once a day if it has 1440 block/day rate.
So, the checkpoints get included only if the slavechain can prove that it has advanced 1440 blocks further from the last checkpoint on the masterchain.

buybitcoinscanada: I can do a wiki and Joefox too Lets wait few hours and then I will transform it in a better form. But this page will probably die, because Nxt is not a coin and even a currency. It is a platform. In the past there was no chance to stay there because we had zero external sources...

Processing bitcoin payments. USA's FinCen says they have authority over bitcoin and any company that touches it is a money transmitter. Now bitcoin is as troublesome as fiat in America. Isnt America nice
So, now you need at least $5 million to operation in USA, before you can even start. maybe you can choose a few states to lower the compliance cost, but every state has their own rules, add the federal stuff on top and the war on bitcoin escalates.

Do you have a source for this? I'd like to read up.

Read especially:
http://www.fincen.gov/news_room/testimony/html/20140220.html
FinCEN getting involved in cryptocurrency is a huge blow to Bitcoin in the US and NXT as well. If NXT implements NXTcash as a truly anonymous transfer service, we can expect FinCen to arrest James as a terrorist.
I am only partially joking.
that and three hots and a cot plus more sex than you ever wanted.

I didn't understand what buyer/seller verified means.
What I mean is that when you are leaving feedback via AM, you will be required to enter a Tx id, where the sender (buyer's) account must match your account # and the receiving account must match the account where you are sending the feedback AM (the sellers account). If those match up, the feedback is sent via AM.I'm wondering if escrow/reputation is the best model for the SR type use case, and if there could be an alternative model.
Would the names of products and quantities sold be publicly available on the blockchain? Somehow I think this will draw unwanted attention.
Nothing would show up on the blockchain except the amounts of Nxt and the public feedback, all other messages would be encrypted.Would the names of products and quantities sold be publicly available on the blockchain? Somehow I think this will draw unwanted attention.
How would disputes be resolved? Outsiders can't know if the seller has sent the product. Either the seller or buyer can try to scam.
With Escrow AT, you would send your Nxt to seller via AT, at which point the Nxt is committed and you have two choices, release the funds to the seller or release the funds to the genesis block or charity (whereas neither party would benefit). You wouldn't have the choice to get them back and the seller wouldn't have incentive to scam you since the funds would go elsewhere if you don't get your product.Seller can sell to himself and give good feedback.
Yes, but they would have to go through the trouble of sending Nxt, leaving feedback, and it would all be traceable, and there would be no purpose with Escrow AT.So this is a burn escrow, which doesn't need outsiders to resolve disputes. And it doesn't use the asset exchange, because sales are not public.
I didn't understand how the buyer finds the sellers and the products to be sold.
That is what we need to work on, a decentralized market. Personally I would prefer a torrent style file that downloads a marketplace to your client where it would be viewable. The marketplace could be hosted on several seeding/forging machines.
My vision for a decentralized anonymous marketplace has the following features, in order of importance.
1. Security
2. Anonymity
(3. Fraud-prevention)
The market would be hosted nowhere, each seller would host his own market on his own computer. No centralized weak point. Outsiders don't know what is being sold. Even the buyers don't have a clear picture of all available products and amounts being sold. Each seller would only know his own sales.
Security would come from the p2p nature of the Nxt network, encryption of all messages, and optionally the users could use Tor. Coins can be mixed by the users using the existing mixers for Bitcoin or Nxt, not directly by the anonymous market software.
Fraud-prevention can be done with non-technical means such as forum discussions and word-of-mouth reputation.

Random thought: If we cannot guarantee network spread for security reasons with Nxt now, how can we have security with many more blockchains?
How do we prevent bloating the master chain?
New chains need to be registered at the master chain for a fee.
Seems like you answered your own question.

So the upcoming forgers (with TF in place) will be able to build many cheap parallel chains, because they know when to register?
Now that I think about it, parallel chains is a very nice way to achieve the 1000 TPS goal. It is highly unlikely that everyone needs to use all the parallel chains at once, so by providing many, many chains, people would only have to secure the ones they are interested in. NXT as a whole could have 1000 TPS, but a regular user would probably only need to secure at most 100 TPS on the chains he/she is interested in.
RFC: Parallel Chains concept
Only TL;DR version, coz noone would read a full one.
Master Chain
Contains only checkpoints of all slave chains. Checkpointing is done once a day and only when 1440 blocks r built on top of the corresponding slave chain. Master chain is never pruned. Growth rate is [32 bytes * numberOfSlaveChain] per day.
Slave Chains
Contains only 1 type of transactions. Different currencies can be implemented as different chains. Forgers can choose what chains to secure. The market balances TPS rate.
Migration plan
Create slave chains that implement all transactions types existing in Nxt. Add a new type for checkpointing. Reject attempts to include non-checkpointing transactions into the master chain.
Side-effects
The Chinese could use a separate currency inside their borders for very high TPS rates. Only checkpointing transactions have to bypass Great Firewall of China. Speculators provide currency exchange service - the business they love to do. NXTs become "tokens", users buy them for fiat to spend for fees, it's similar to prepaid coupons/tickets for provided services.
