NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information

[opticalcarrier]

I think its time or a little fun.  POST YOUR PUBLIC NODES AND SEE WHO HAS TE HIGHEST ACTIVE PEER COUNT.  iM AT 781

How long have you been running to get that many?

Not sure, they require frequent upkeep.  vps02 has 17 hr uptime, but its possible the process has been restarted during that period

Dude, my client on my desktop runs for a day or even two nonstop but doesn't get a tenth of those numbers of active peers.  I currently have only 70.  What's with that?

I have max conn peers at 100. Also push and pull at 1 and 5000 for timers. They are very high horsepower so I put those setting in it. I gues those high number of peers is why I have to reset them a few timer per day

[canuck]

So twice I've seen blocks go to a negative number (currently -47,688) and my balance zero out before drifting into the negatives.  What causes this?

Still a few bugs in the system, it's happened to me a couple of times too!

Try hitting F5 and then re-enter your pass-phrase.

Yeah I did go ahead and try to refresh but in each case, I had to delete and replace the NXT folder on my system.  I tried deleting just the blockchain files but when I do that, the client then seems to stick at the genesis block and I don't connect to any peers.

Using 0.4.7e by the way.

Please stop suggesting we add mxt to other exchanges unless you want this currency to collapse and die price wise. STABILIZE the network first!

Hi,

I believe that the more NXT you have, the faster you should 'forge'. However, I don't think this should be completely lineal.

IMHO, now 1 NXT has a 1% chance (just for the sake of the example) to get the NXT from forging and 10 NXT have a 10% chance. But I believe it's not as fair as if 1 NXT would have 1.1 % of chances and 10 NXT would have 9% chances to hit it. I dunno if I'm explainning myself properly here but basically, my point is that I'd redistribute fees slightly different: more nxt = more odds to get them, but not increasing lineally compared to those who have a few coins. I think it's more fair because NXT would distribute coins more evenly. What do you think?

Also, I've been forging for a couple of days (my wallet was unlock) and the time to generate the next block changes everynow and then. I know it's normal as the time is just an average, however, from 2h to 50 days sounds very unrealistic or at least, not stable at all. Wouldn't it be better to calculate this average on the time that X amount of blocks have been generating (and if this is happenning already, instead of X blocks, I'd suggest to make X+Y blocks). Thus, the average time will be 'more real' or close to reality.

Also, how do I know if I forged a block? In my transactions?

And lastly, can anybody link me what an orphaned block is? And zombies?

Thanks! Keep up the good work!!!!!!

All the Dutch language contributions I've made can be found here if someone wants to start integrating them. Don't have much spare time this weekend.

I'll see what I can do. I wanted to translate, too, but didn't want to rain on your parade

By all means, feel free to help. Like I said, I don't have too much time this weekend and would love to see others contribute. So far one other user has made a contribution. It's a lot of work for one person, so if you're up for it go for it. Lets me take up an editing role, apart from the pure translation work and adds some variety.

Great. I was hoping to be able to contribute somewhere
I'll get on it tomorrow.

We could both be on the wrong chain, tho.
I'm gonna throw Pablitos known peers list into my web.xml.
Wish me luck......

I don´t see how we could have higher rates of return for smaller accounts. It just doesn´t add up. In any case, what prevents someone from creating 1000 accounts to take advantage of higher payouts for smaller accts. Your proposal will lead to massive account explosion, though we are probably safe even if everyone had 1000 accts, still penalizing someone who has acquired more NXT seems counter productive to me.

NXT is a meritocracy. The more you do, the more you get, the more you have the more you earn. You are an early adopter and have a big advantage over all but a few thousand ahead of you. Take advantage of your advantage!

They're just in fork too  Increase number of connected peers.

Peers eh?

[gbeirn]

I read upthread about an idea to visualize the globe with peers, similar to https://blockchain.info/nodes-globe. Is anyone going to do that? I could provide APIs to determine next forging accounts and also some kind of tracert protocol.

This would be awesome to have. Anyone? I can donate but it is beyond my skill and/or knowledge.

They're just in fork too   Increase number of connected peers.

but im connected to so many. im connected to atleast 30 peers right now. i think what i need is not more peers but better peers. any advise?

106/410/33. My blockchain seems up to date: 26369. Add well-known peers from last pages, also u can try to redownload whole blockchain deleting .nxt files.

Did you try to restart?

Got like 142 active peers and >300 known peers.

@jl777: didn't think of it this way. Dunno how to solve this issue as anyone can open as many accounts as possible. I was just thinking that "rich are already rich, let's help those who own a few". But not possible, true. Thanks for answering!
