NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information

[allwelder]

I already announced the assignement of our bounty prizes to 3 winners (+100K to wesleyh for his Mac client, and 200K for Anon136 for his initialization of Nxt algo). The video bounty winner produced by lyynx is an awesome short introduction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsKPyq_zL5g

And I already assigned 60K for the rasspery pi public nodes idea, previously posed here.
Also 10K for the guy who helped to remove several buggs, if it be confirmed first, I am not fully informed about the truth. For details please refer to our bounty thread.

And here I place 90K for 30 public nodes to be placed in different geographical places, 3 months period!!!
(and hope these public nodes allow me to access them as well, most of them deny and inform "Matrix has you..." that means shit!

This is the popular video in china with 346 visits I have produced.
http://i.youku.com/nextcoin
https://nextcoin.org/index.php/topic,615.0.html

And I also start a new thread in chinese on asktom.cf for promotion NXT.
https://asktom.cf/index.php?topic=361812.20

And more and more people in China following my chinese twitter:weibo
http://weibo.com/nxtcoin

They ask questions,query,beg for first NXT,and many other things.

I give them related links and answers as many as possible.
And I believe that,with more and more chinese players participation,NXT will be really rocket.

So,if some bounty are for chinese newbie,it will be very appreciated and helpful for NXT development.
You can give me a bounty link,I will introduce to chinese newcomers.
Or you can give me the NXT,I will redistribute to all the chinese participator.

gbeirn,

I setup about 16 to 25 servers into a single cluster. Then I can type a single command, they all do it. You can also drill down to each single server.

Really, after more than 5, you have to get cssh. Trust me on this. On the Mac csshX is even better,but same core functionality

May I know where are you all downloading the "0.4.7e"  version from? The first link point to 0.4.4

Here you go:

I put a copy of 4.7e at http://209.126.73.170/nxt_4_7e.zip

Could somebody make sure it works properly?

Oh this sounds awesome.  I'm off to bed tonight but  I will check it out tomorrow and then maybe expand even more.   Thanks!

gbeirn,

Are you using cssh or equivalent? Without it there is no way I could manage 100+ servers

James

ssh automation + git + scripts = not too bad to manage 100. The hard part is designing and setting up the flow for install, version updates (experimental vs norm), blockchain preservation, monitoring, etc, etc. yeahaw nxt devops.

Yeah it's not so terrible, plus the more familiar I am becoming with NXT the easier it is becoming to keep everything up and flowing smoothly.

One thing I am going to suggest right now is staggered updates for new versions when the roll out. Unless there are critical security vulnerabilities we are dealing with or the issue with the overflow yesterday, as new versions of NRS arrive, we should update a few nodes at a time to minimize downtime and loads on the other nodes especially when under heavy DDoS.

It'll be hell on the network if every time a new release come out all the major nodes go down within 5 min of it coming out.

just to check again, so the hallmarked nodes are just overtrusted because they were made by a stakeholder? they are not forging as well ?

I'm running the latest version of NXT. I open my account using localhost in my browser. I can see from the block explorer that my NXT client is up to date, but every time I try to send NXT to another account the transaction does not work, but the client 'send' confirmation does pop-up. The transaction does not appear in my transaction history as a fail - it just doesn't appear anywhere. I've tried to register alias names using localhost, and they always fail too.

It looks like I can receive blocks from the network (my client is up to date), but my client can't send transactions out to the network. What am I doing wrong? Could this be a firewall problem (i'm using Windows 7 and google chrome).

Is there a setting in web.xml that might be blocking my send transactions, even though I can still receive blocks?
Thanks for any help! I've been trying things for days now and I'm very frustrated

[Meizirkki]

Why are there so many unconfirmed transactions?

I can see only one unconfirmed. I think it is not working properly for you.

Is it possible the network is split? At the time of writing my earlier post I had 2400 unconfirmed transactions and a "well known" peer 78.46.63.221 was blacklisted (and would blacklist immediately again if I unlisted it). Sometimes the block page would show 800 orphaned blocks too, but it seemed to fix when I reloaded the page.

I restarted the node while ago and I'm seeing very few unconfirmed transactions now.

EDIT: Could have been my fault. I was running a hallmarked node without myaddress specified in web.xml
EDIT2: Is this a bug?

Guys can someone please link me to a proper hallmark thing wiki page where I can get some info on that. I am going all out and installing at least 10 nodes, hallmarked. Just tell me what I can do to help, Not being able to forge is really pissing me off....

https://nextcoin.org/index.php/topic,607.0.html

personally i would not forge on a VPS.  Its possible for provider to read passphrase in memory that way.  I have 6 halmarked VPSs now, adding more, an only forge on my local PC

Please share the pec of the VPSes I am planning on budgetVM the one with 1024MB burt ram, do you think they will work just fine? The original post suggests 1-2GB.

Is it possible your computer does not have the correct time? You should get your system time from the network. Nxt will reject any transactions with a timestamp that is more than 15 seconds ahead of the network time.

Hallmarking makes no difference in forging blocks. It does help the network however

I have  mix of both 1GB and 2GB, they seem to have no difference as far as I can tell. I set the Java run command with different arguments based on the RAM differences though.

Good point, although forging on VPS is a lot easier to manage.

Questions on hallmark:

How to set the weight, and the date to get the hallmark?

Should I set the weight as the number of coins in my account?

Sorry for the monologue.

I'm now having no other issues except for few major nodes disconnecting me (banning?)

Is this normal?

EDIT: reinstalled nxt and no longer halmarked. everything ok so far
