Girls 'n boys,

I don't know why until now there exists no Wikipedia-Article about NXT in the main Wikipedias (English, German, Netherlands, Swedish, etc.)?
Besides our own wiki these are the simplest and I think the easiest possibilities for marketing! John Doe will search the internet for NXT if he heres the first time about it.
People in this thread may think that Wikipedia isn't a trustworth source (especially for financial decision), but for the normal guy in the neighborhood it is more suspicious if there is NO article about a unknown cryptocurrency in his native language at Wikipedia instead of there is JUST an article there Wink

I hereby (I like this word, yeah) invite all of you to write an NXT-article in the main Wikipedias or just contribute a small piece of text (could be a improvement of a false info or a big chapter about a special function of NXT) there.

To set a good example I created in the last hours the structure of the german article (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nxt_(W%C3%A4hrung)) and filled some of the parts with information.
It is far away from being perfect and somebody should immediatly have a look about my lousy compilation, but it is a start!

I'm willing to create some infographics for the wiki-articles - please write me a PM with your ideas!

we had one but it was deleted b/c it "looked too much like advertising"  so not sure how to make one that they would accept

I just updated my client from 0.7.5 to 0.8.8 and have a couple newb questions:

1) is there a way to import the blockchain database from my previous installation so as not to have to re-download the whole thing? I tried replacing the nxt.h2.db file with a back-up of the one from my earlier installation, but it didn't work.

2) How do I safely stop the process when I want to shut down the client? I use the "sh run.sh" terminal command to start it, but don't know how to stop it.

you have to copy the whole nxt_db directory, not just the files in it.  Use ctrl-c inside the console window and it will close itself down

As I said, I will approach the candidates once we have some names and know how the newcomers would be able to contribute.

Who is going to conduct the technical interviews?
Tou, CfB and Ian

Of course I think it is time for ALL stakeholders >10M to form a committee and contribute proportionally an amount every month for the core dev team too!

I can't agree more with you Klee on this one.
By reading this thread daily, one can get a good sense on where is this boat headed to. In a past couple of days I realized that this will be a hell of a quest if we wanna succeed. I mean let's put a side to da moon and crap like that and lets be realistic. We have a huge journey in front of us and I think we are on a turning point as we speak.

CFB is leaving us soon, we could see some major misunderstandings in the thread in the last week or so. Today we even got to ask ourself who we are and what did BCNext, our father envisioned us to be? And then rickyjames came back with the report from TBC and I felt unease when I was reading this. But this is who we are and how people see us! Not too many people know about us and the ones who did hear about us our quite sceptical and they don't like us. All of the above is OK because trust must be earned and not given, and we must earn this trust!

We are busting our asses here to make this thing work but I am not sure can we do this without the whales and all of the above I am writing to you, the whales. Gentlemen you should be sure that there is a rocky road in front of us and you should be aware that there are more chances that we do not succeed than there is that we will make it, realistically. Because there are some huge players like Etherum that are coming and these guys are machinery that everybody talks about and they can afford to take all of the time of this world when everybody are talking about them. There is our chance, but I am afraid we won't make it without you. I know that you guys are reading this forum, because I would read it daily if I was holding even 10M NXT and not to mention 20, 30, 40, or 50M. It is time that you guys take a responsiblity and share some of your wealth for yours good and than for the good of all of us together. All top 60 accounts!Because NXT can be huge, we have potential but I am afraid not without you guys. We are not begging your NXT, we are just asking you to hire Devs and invest in NXT so all of our investments can become more valuable and we make this thing work together.

For the end, you shouldn't play with the fire. All of this can colapse very easy and who will then give a crap about your 50 or 30 or 10M NXT? Nobody!! God forbid that this happen, but we would then see how would you cash out all your millions!

If you didn't yet please go vote that btc38.com adds Nxt:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/poll-lockedill-start-a-new-post-soon-501963

We were ahead now Vertcoin is just slightly ahead of us and make sure you pass this link around as well!

btc38.com is a big alt-coin exchange in China, so it would be very nice to be listed.

According to 2Kool he said we are going to be listed. Wish he linked where he heard it though.

I just woke up, so here was my idea:

Asset Exchange Enhancement

Here is a snippet of what I sent a community member:

Quote from: pandaisftw
A) Using a URL embedded in the asset description, the client would then be able to communicate with the URL

B1) The client sends a random string to the URL. The server behind the URL should then sign the string with the asset issuer's Auth Key and return this to the client. If the Auth key is valid, this should prove that the URL is in fact owned by the asset issuer. This will ensure that even if the URL is somehow redirected, the attacker would still need the asset issuer's private key.

B2) If B1) doesn't work, use some method of key signing (such as curve25519) which would allow the client to validate the URL (I explain this process in the attached doc).

c) Once the URL is verified to be owned by the asset issuer, it would pull information provided by the URL and overlay that onto the asset. This will allow much greater flexibility in the Asset Exchange, as well as allow "duplicate named" assets as well as being able to categorize assets efficiently.

I feel that this will be an extremely important feature, especially for services that will have to register a lot of assets that may be squatted by those wishing to make a quick profit at the service's expense. The NXT game we are working on is planning to use the Asset Exchange to provide liquidity for the exchanging of items, but it would be much better if players could easily find all of our items easily, instead of having arbitrary names which can be squatted. We can even include pictures!

To explain better, I have prepared a document (with visuals) here:

https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1yPt4x8V6015atQlszXj-IloOkUvDRdt15rsxPxy2jiQ/edit?usp=sharing

I'm not 100% sure how NXT Auth Keys work - instead of a website, I think you can provide a random string (in the website field) that the server would then hash using their Auth Token. But I provided the second solution just in-case that was not possible.

After feedback from Chanc3r, I streamlined the idea and removed the unneeded, more complicated key exchange slides. NXT already provides everything needed for this idea to work.

Take a look:

https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1FsyumJLmQ9ckLNkHlmW1oPRGOoK3oAg_pVjFz3s0fNw/edit?usp=sharing

Feedback is appreciated! Smiley

Is it safe to use weshleys awesome interface in the main net?

EDIT: More importantly, with a real account.

Log in with your TestNet account - not your real one!

I advise you to only connect to testnet (it is set as default) for now.

Nxt :: Asset Exchange Test


Please send me some test cases so I can upload them to the test management platform.

I didn´t receive a single PM regarding testcases. I´ve set up a test management platform, which is useless without test cases. Due to the restrictions, I am the only one that can add test cases, but everyone will be able to run the tests.

So please, provide some test cases for the asset exchange, so I can fill the platform with life.

You can reply here, or send me a PM, whatever you prefer.

Come-from-Beyond, can you introduce some developer to the community? He/she will be warmly met and trusted. Or maybe you should just recommend somebody that you respect? We can gather some funds for them or vote for the unclaimed coins?


(come on, you should know somebody  Cry )

Klee,

didnt you pay generously for two DEVs? what are they doing now?
One dev, one IT - the dev is in talks with Amazon...

I hired another one (very good too) he currently looks at the AT with CIYAM but I will tell him about the need for core devs...

I am not willing to cover his compensation though for this (at least not more than a small percentage).
I pay him for the AT feature only, so the community/early adopters should find a way to cover his (and the other core devs) expenses.

My personal opinion is that 1/3 of unclaimed funds should go for audit/whitepaper, 1/3 for core devs and 1/3 for marketing.

Extra features like AT and NXTcash should be covered by early adopters (like me and neer who cover together AT and me covering alone NXTcash).

Of course I think it is time for ALL stakeholders >10M to form a committee and contribute proportionally an amount every month for the core dev team too!

If there's a bad version (that steals my account?) you got to tell me right now.

I don´t know what pin refers to. I haven´t heard about a "bad" version.

I spent about 3000NXT to promote Nxt for russian speaking people in vk.com by http://vk.com/cryptonxt. If u can donate 5552153634766291106
How did you manage to spend all that?
I create some post. For example http://vk.com/wall-64086699_91. Subscribers share it( I send them 49NXT) and their friends see post about Nxt in their news. New people know about Nxt.
oh that's cool

Alrighty then Smiley

By the way, is it possible to implement a forum feature in nxt? Imagine we could have this thread inside the system! Tho the message fee should be 0.01 or less otherwise we'll only hear from those who have something important to say Grin

great idea!
Tho I just realized the deep web people could poison the chain on everyones nodes forever with questionable or illegal stuff.  Embarrassed
