Not only that,  did you realize that the wallet is also exposed to the public internet?   That there is not mechanism to prevent a brute force password attack?   

In theory, it is not good practice to spawn of thread inside a servlet container.

Show us what you have got then... apart from a terrible bedside manner ; )

Very possible. The whole application running as a servlet in Jetty web server, it needs to interact w/ the servlet container.

It's not a good practice for applications taking control of threads directly,  and that destroy() method looks disturbing.
 

NXT's beauty is in the algorithms and maths that have brought forward the state-of-the-art.  I seriously doubt the creator cares about keeping tidy with the code.  In fact, I know quite a few genius computer scientists who produce really ugly, stupid code.  However, that doesn't matter one iota when the algorithms are groundbreakingly better than anything that's come before.

Our investment is in the extremely clever people behind the NXT project.  Computer science and software engineering, though related, are different things.  I am glad the NXT has a computer scientist like BCNext behind it who actually has new ideas and can bring them to life, no matter how messy the code may be.  New capabilities are something that has been missing from every other alt coin that has come before NXT.

As I said, some really great computer scientists do not follow great software engineering principles, but their code does things no one else's can.  And that, my friend, is the point.

Bcnext is a freaking genius. I worked so hard to try to figure something out like this myself to no avail. What i proposed in my thread is a far cry from this much better solution.

That we are not investing in source code, we are investing in the algorithms, the big ideas (BCNext) and the huge community supporting NXT.

I know that this is about fees and not generating currency, but the concept of adjusting system metrics, based off daily transactional statistics is something I've looked at and thought about for a loooooong time.  I think we could do the same type of thing here.

This is the real-world dude, not an algorithm found in a textbook

So far from reading your posts it seems that far from being an expert, you seem to be quick to jump to conclusions , which show that you do not even read English properly, let alone code, and you are behaving in a way that is a little bit childish...  I note there are obviously some real experts that have been providing valuable and thoughtful/well though out intelligent feedback, what you are doing is some sort of constant bickering attack.  There is nothing wrong with being nice, thoughtful, and treating people and their work with some respect, and frankly even if your motives are good, which I question, then if you are trying to help people, then be a nice guy about it!  you may have more joy in actually helping people, because to help people you need to communicate wth people to get them to listen, not attack,  and at the end of the day if you are not helping, then you are just in the way, and if you are helping then how about a dose of humility and common decency along with that good deed?  You know, try not to be a jerk about it,  otherwise it is not avery attractive way to carry on, and will get you nothing in life. Just think about it.

Back on topic.  

Now are 2 nextcoin exchanges!

Dgex.com and nxtchg.com !

Why cryptsy, bter, vircurex etc. dont can trade nextcoins?

code -> bad -> bugs -> fail

If you are an expert in a field and you see an amateur do very shoddy work, the I think one would have the responsibility of pointing this out.

The work here is plain and simple shoddy.

Maybe the ideas may make sense (don't know,  I have not seen the spec),  but the work is shoddy.

I do think your job here is valuable, most points are valid.

Burying head in the sand and resisting any criticism are not good for any community's health.

because it fit's into this thread just on thing which has attract my attention.

i have to admit that i am not a native java coder and i just have had a quick look at
the api part due to the client dev, therefore this could be nonsens but for me, the code
structure seems that the creator intentionally veiled his native codingstyle.

if so, i bet the flaws couldn't be found by hunting partial code strucs but more within the
logical flow in general. moreover, if this is correct, the energy needed to change a perhaps
long used coding style this way must be immense. at least there is no chance to get any
usefull code correlation this way.

as said, it could be totally wrong but i have seen many lines of code in different
languages, this structure doesn't seems coincidental for me.

perhaps a fluent java coder could have a quick overview again, with this in mind.

You write some garbage and you get honest answers from CfB. You are trolling around to learn a few tricks from CfB. This is just dishonorable.

I have the impression you don't want to be friendly and nice, FrictionlessCoin. Please, just go. Thank you.

You know why I hang out in the Nxt threads?

code -> good -> nxt -> good
