Seems some people think that Nxt doesn't have a presence on this forum.

So I just wanted to point out that Nxts 'official' thread for help and general chat can be found:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/nxt-blockchain-platform-proof-of-stake-official-587007

Thanks  Grin

would be interesting if there was a way to create a dynamic password generator that is somehow linked to your mobile with with an app like google authenticator when using nxt login.

You covered a lot of ground there!  Grin

What do you mean by dynamic? If you mean random, the main client generates a diceware password with a greater entropy than the encryption in Nxt, all done client side so it is secure against bruteforcing. If you still don't trust that, then you can create your own diceware password and enter it yourself.

Two phase transactions will act like google authenticator, in that you can set it up to need two (or more) accounts to approve any transactions from your main account. It has the same effect in that if someone hacks your scvount, they can't steal anything or purchase scam assets/mscoins the would be thief is selling.

Not all of this is in thr mobile wallet but there is vontant development. You might want to look at the online wallets you can access at mynxt.info or nxtblocks.info. They use the short psssword you use in your log in to create a secure password as above so they are easier to use on the move. There is also Android and iOS apps available but don't know a lot about them

Two little surprises added to the next release, in addition to Voting System and Two Phased Transactions.


TL:DR

Notification System, you get messages in the UI when you have sold or bought something. Small but very useful addition!
Plugin System, allows third party plugins to connect directly into the Nxt Client. Expect something form SuperNet/Multigateway, Coinomat and a few others very soon.

1. Will have 1 hour lecture @CoinFestRussia http://en.coinfestrussia.com/ . If you around, welcome Smiley
2. Voting_2phased branch is merged with develop, so 1.5.0e will be deployed to the testnet soon Smiley

V1.5.0e released for testnet soon. If you look at the world map on peerexplorer.com, you'll see a dev node already running on the mainnet  Grin

Usually 1-2 weeks between testnet and mainnet release. Another tool for Nxt's ecosystem is added  Grin

Updated OP in light of this:

Account Control is not a part of Two-Phased Transaction. It will be released later(1.6-1.7).

P2SH also will be implemented later(1.6?).

P2SH is a "Pay on secret reveal" transaction type and it removes the need for escrow when doing cross chain trades and opens the doors for truly decentralizaed exchanges.

OP updated, rather than Voting System in version 1.5 and 2-Phased Transactions in v1.6..

... they will both be in the next release, v1.5  Grin

Last news:

1. Overbusy with all the stuff I'm working on at the moment.  So sorry for long replies / low public activity.

2. Jean-Luc & me are working on 1.5.0e polishing + 2 devs(jones/holgerd77) are working on UI. So yeah it will include voting system & two-phased transactions  Smiley

3. After 1.5.0e I plan to switch to bugfixing / performance for a while, and also research.

4. ConsensusResearch is going to finish current simulation / theoretical work and going to practical experimental implementation with Scorex, weekends project of mine.

5. Scorex ultra-compact & intentionally not-production-ready cryptocurrency. Started from Qora source code(24K lines of Java code) it will have 6-7K lines of Scala code, no native libs, Curve25519 for signing/verification, json API, command line client. Will be opensourced in February, initial ultracompact release will be named "Lagonaki". If you want to make experiments with a cryptocurrency, start with Lagonaki Smiley Then we'll add multibranching forging and test it in real life.


Kushti is implementing a test of changes to forging based on his POS research group's (ConsensusResearch) findings in point 5. Further details are scarce at the moment.


Seems the devs have taken to a round of bug fixing before the release of v1.5.

The latest version is now 1.4.15, for anyone not paying attention  Grin

Downloading the entire chain takes about an hour for me, but that happens only during version updates.  Otherwise it boots right up.

Why does NXT now take an unbearably long time to load? It is completely impractical to wait for hours for the client to finally open, so THEN I can finally start downloading the blockchain, which also moves at an incredibly slow pace.

Whoever JeanLuc Picard is, your newest releases have pretty much killed NXT for me. Can you please do some rollbacks and announce when the client is back to the way it used to be (which was literally 20x faster to load)?

Mine takes 2 seconds to load

If you need an up to date blockchain, you can also download it from peerexplorer.com (there is a download link in the text there)

Is there a link where I can read more about "two-phased" transactions?

edit: I found one here https://nxtforum.org/general/2-phased-transactions-post-implementation-specification/

Looks pretty good. :-)

Edit 2:  Is there a more recent update link?

I went to Nxtforum to as to see you had already done so  Grin

That is the most comprehensive I have seen, let's wait for an answer.

Also, anyone who has yet to try Nxt can do so instantly without downloads or clients here:


https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/try-a-demo-with-nxt-instantly-no-downloads-no-clients-925811


Try buying an asset on the exchange, send an encrypted message, mint/mine a Monetary System Coin (POW within POS), check out what is for sale in the ebay style Marketplace for digital goods.

If you have any questions, post here or in the thread above.
