As a plus ASIC you buy today will never rise in value while Nxt might go ballistic. Or it will crash to 0 & burn in flames. Once again: it's one big gamble.
It is very likely to go ballistic in my opinion.
What ports I need to open on the firewalls?
+1
Where is the mining chapter in the howto ?
I know, I know ppl who's too stupid to find these things out by disassembling the classes and reading the code don't deserve to mine this stuff .
You can set the memory parameters with command line on Java
port 7874
To mine, just put coin on the wallet and stay online.
EDIT :
- 7874 (tcp) is used for P2P communication, the http web client and API commands. This is the only port that needs to be open to run Nxt.
- 7875 (tcp) is used for the https web client.
