Hahahahahh <3

Ouch. That would totally not be my thing.

Thanks for recommending Haskell, I'll check it out.

Maybe, once AT is up and running, I could work on, or work with the high-level language(s) built on it.


EDIT: Emule, I can help you get out of Nxt faster, just send them to 7436197154535225138. No need to wait on slow-ass exchanges!

EDIT 2: Hmm, why does Xtnd (my working name for the higher-lev language built on top of the AT op codes) have to be limited to only Nxt scripts? It's based on processor-optimized basic codes, it could be Xtnded to do much more. But Ian's warning about general purpose languages acquiring their own quirks comes to mind...

Can the burden of dealing with quirks ever be shifted to compilers/linkers/IDEs/the design of the language, instead of remaining on the programmer? How well has usability for coders been studied?

Life sucks when you are a NXT whale, please follow me in the day of an NXT whale:
10 am: just woke up taking a shower and have breakfast.
11 am: after breakfast first computer session, first determine the price NXT will be for the day, programming the trading-bot accordingly and let it run.
12 am: aperitif with some friends, lunch and take some rest.
Afternoon 2 pm: sell the BTC the trading-bot gathered and cash out to the bank.
3 pm: enjoying life

And this day after day since December,

I hate BCNExt  because he was not looking if there were suckpuppet accounts, this way I had over 100M NXT, the problem is I will never get them sold in NXT lifetime that is why NXT is epic failing. Well that is the other side of the medallion, so the biggest problem is not the price of NXT but how do I get them all out before NXT is just another shitcoin.

To all bagholders, I will dump to 0.00006
Have fun

And unfortunately "general purpose" programming languages always end up with their own little quirks (because they haven't been designed to do "one thing" and "do it well").

If you are comfortable with the idea of "functional programming" (which SQL is a basic example of) then I'd suggest also looking into Haskall.

But "the future" will likely be more along the lines of lots of small "domain specific languages" and "code generators" - the CIYAM software platform itself works this way (there isn't a single line of "manual code" used in the CIYAM Open web application).

Anti-crypto? *yawn*

Thanks for the recommendations. But I look at their homepages and straight off the bat I see curly braces and semicolons. In C++ these cause a lot of premature baldness-inducing compiler messages. (e.g. Ian's example about taking days to track one ; down). Is it also the case for these languages?


@Ian: I know you can use different languages for different purposes and parts of the code, then link them together, so you can choose the language for the job so to speak. But the linking processes are messy, weird baldness-inducing things can happen. And when I need to use C++, I'd still like it to be a joy to work with, rather than a pain.

I guess I'm a generalist. I'd like to one day finish a real game, and other stuff, but when I see that I have to deal with specific quirks for each language and wrestle with syntax, I just feel like it's not worth the frustration and I go do other things.

catch it ,thank you.

There is no need for this. Assets, Transactions, Accounts all have global unique identifiers clients can store anything they want with that as long as they store it themselves. It would be bad to put this in the protocol.

No sense of communication.......at the end of a 1900 page thread.
Any else see the irony here?



I'm going to add my voice to BitcoinForumators. We do have a community fund, whale dudes.
The way I see it: u have to speculate to accumulate.
 
The value of any NXT u lose by throwing it into the community fund will come back to u as an increased fiat value for the remaining NXT, so you don't have much to lose.

At first ,i thinked asset should has many feathers: like type,brand
but now,  assets in nxt  have simple contents may be better, nxt asset in layer 1
because  like type,brand,group of asset ,client (layer 2)can sort or group them.

 

ATTENTION MyNXT WALLET USERS: The promo thread (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-first-online-nxt-wallet-477526) has been locked in Bitcointalk, so we will have to continue in a new thread in nextcoin.org: https://nextcoin.org/index.php/topic,4137.0.html

Please post in the nextcoin thread to be receive the 10 NXT and be considered for the 1000 NXT prize.

Wonderful…

- thanks to ...

+1. No gods, no kings, no temporary big-mouthed hot air always young at heart benevolent dictators, only committees Nxters.



God help us all.

Just got this e-mail back from MintPal after informing them that Nxt should not be Nextcoin.

Sigh.  For the record, there's a difference between being a "treasurer" and being a "designated spending authority".

James / jl777 is the sole "designated spending authority" for NXTcommunityfund and NXTcashfunds, which are run by him as an individual with no committee structure.  He is like Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy all rolled up into one, he can give those funds out as he sees fit to anybody he feels is helping NXT.   He gets to do this because NXTcommunityfund and NXTcashfunds are private funds set up by neer.g and Pouncer as a private deal with James.  Anybody contributing to these funds (and contributions are encouraged!) does so with the understanding that James is the ultimate designated spending authority from the original private deal that set up these funds.

I am a treasurer of NXTcommunityfund and NXTcashfunds.  I have the password to those funds and nobody else does.  I COULD spend this NXT, but I have NO authority to do so.  I only spend exactly what James tells me to do exactly as he says, no more, no less.  Public access to the blockchain and audit spreadsheets is the check and balance on ME and how the community keeps me honest.  

Now, James can't just spend these funds on HIMSELF with no oversight.  If James designates funds to be sent to HIM instead of SOMEBODY ELSE, then I have to clear it with neer.g or Pouncer first.  That is the check and balance on this huge power James has.  He doesn't have the password to the money, and somebody else has to give him permission to spend it on his own projects.

So, a "treasurer" has no real power except the power of trust and honesty.  They exist only as a check-and-balance against the "designated spending authority" going nuts and running off with all the NXT.  And the first thing an elected fund committee is going to have to do is decide which ONE of their members is going to be the "designated spending authority" that signs the orders that goes to the treasurers.

Now, I'm going to run for a seat on the infrastructure committee because I am a hardware guy, not a coder, and setting up a worldwide network to support NXT at 1000 TPS looks like a really interesting challenge to me.  I am going to run for this position even tho I am a treasurer on other funds.  I don't think there's a problem with that.  If that bothers people after reading the explanation above, then they can vote against me and I won't get in.

And I'll accept that if it happens.  We'll see.

I'd have to say that I am the same - so I prefer not to "argue" with people but instead try "discuss" with them (it doesn't always work mind you especially in a forum like this one). Provided that it doesn't turn into an argument then I can remain quite patient (if it starts to head that way I would normally "move on").

They are *exactly* the number of bits their names suggest (that's why they were created). It is the normal C types like "int" and "long" which the Standard can only give vague ideas about size (such as sizeof( long ) >= sizeof( int ), etc.).
