By the way, just for the record: let Rn be the longest sequence of consecutive blocks generated by an account whose block generating probability is p (i.e., Rn is the longest run of the blocks by that account), up to the nth block. Then it is known that Rn is concentrated around
log1/p(qn) + γ/ln(1/p) - 1/2
with known variance, where q=1-p and γ≈0.577 is the Euler-Mascheroni constant. See e.g. formulas (5)-(6) in https://www.maa.org/sites/default/files/pdf/upload_library/22/Polya/07468342.di020742.02p0021g.pdf.

We are so decentralized we dont even test our own asset exchange.
Agreed (minus the vulgar language), we can market AE when it's finished with testing and we are happy with it.
Btw, who is really testing it? I got only a few bug reports.
I don't really need AE working (I'm not a trader and don't need to IPO anything), so I can wait till April. The community should focus on testing if it does need AE.
Bump, anyone have bugs to report? Let's keep testing. Otherwise, let's release and have client developers implement asap.
P1
He mentioned Nxt again but he said Nxt is a layer on top of Bitcoin as Mastercoin which is not true. So he knows that development is going on but I think he has not gotten in depth.
It can't be BCNext because of this right? (This was an old post regarding Andreas)

hm well ... I have tested all the basic functions: placeOrder (bis/ask) cancelOrder(bid/ask),issueAsset, transferAsset, trade. Fetch bidorder/askorder as TX from trade.
The bug with the 'not enough funds'. I am still missing out on the scaling - whether it is 0.01nxt or 1 nxt, little things like that.
May main focus atm is getting the modelView pulled straight in Qt, and then I'll have to switch from GET to POST in requests.
What about a liquid market? How can we simulate one? What kind of test cases can we come up with? Who actually IS testing the AE on the testNET? For sure I know about jl777 and myself but there are 2 or three others - wesleyh / nexern / marcus03 ??
Please chime in whoever is testing, so we can cook up something more lively!

One final thing I will say about the (lack of proper) statistical analysis is that for my own involvement in Nxt I would rather be paid in BTC (if I am to be paid anything at all).
I have read proper statistical papers (such as created by Meni) with sound math describing all of the possible attacks upon Bitcoin and I am much more satisfied with that then the "just trust BCNext's algorithm argument" who himself btw actually stated "don't trust me".
It seems that things like "proper analysis" are not things that this community wants to do or even hear about.

JL/CfB, do other peers extract IP from hallmark or they are just have flag "hallmarked or not"?
E.g. if I have NAT IP, should I hallmark my node?
E.g. if I have NAT IP, should I hallmark my node?
yes, they extract IP and use that to determine if the extracted IP matches the source of blocks. IF you hallmark then you identify your account with your IP address, so just be aware of that.
you can still hallmark with NAT IP, but if your IP address changes then your hallmark automatically becomes invalid and you have to redo it.
How is going on the AE test? this is real markeeting, not speakers for freaks/geeks
who the fuck cares?
AE is not working that is why nobody talks about it.
Agreed (minus the vulgar language), we can market AE when it's finished with testing and we are happy with it.
Is there anybody here that is testing the AE?
I have played around with it some but I am not a program writer, so I am not really sure what you are looking for when testing. Is there anything specific I could help with?
he says his second book will be called: How Bitcoin failed and how we can get the Next one right.
So he knew about Nxt in September

Interesting. One of the guys who were sitting there could be BCNext...
It can be BCnext .. maybe ...

That is soooo short sighted to say. I will talk about it. It will be worth it when it's ready. The guys working on it don't have time to talk as they have there ears to the grind stone. what you wanna talk about?
Don't worry about Emule...he's the NXT troll around these parts
So it's Andreas? (I don't understand what he is talking about)
At the time he was talking that Bitcoin might not survive in the future because of some security flaws and in the "next crypto-currency" he is sure that everything will be fixed.

He just said || Next ||, we do not know he was referring to NXT

Hell yeah!!! This is what will sell NXT. Functional and secure network, decentralized currency, Free market economy. It only needs to be that difficult. If these things are in place, peoples own self interest will do the rest. The AE offers up so many opportunities, if the network is functional and secure.

So I think I am about done with trying to simulate our blockchain (it is too tiring and this is not my area of expertise).
If someone else is interested to take over then you have my source code and at least some mathematical analysis has been done on the "real" algorithm (without penalty being considered).
Unfortunately the result is that "we just don't know" if the Nxt TF algo is going to work at this stage (and we have not got any idea if anything else will work better).
Sorry I couldn't provide a better analysis but maybe others can improve on this.

The best test is on the mainnet. If there wasn't any bugs reported recently then it is the time to bring it on.
I wanted to point out that different sources could result in different understandings of the algo.
