NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information

[instacalm]

Wiser and Newbie
I had all the same problems until I modified the xml file in the root subdirectory. There is a list of host IP addresses, not sure of latest one as I am on my travel laptop, but you put that in. Restart and it worked for at least 3 days before the memory leak killed it. Jan 3rd should have the 4.8 release with bug fixes to make it more stable.

Unfortunately, this is way too technical for me. I actually jumped into NXT because a friend recommended it, and when I read about it it sounded like it was the sort of alt coin that would be good for people who didn't know a whole lot about coding or programming, like you install and run it and you're good to go. Unfortunately, NXT has been the squirliest thing I've ever dealt with. I can see my account on the block chain and it shows that since I purchased the value has gone up fivefold, so I'm kind of excited about that, but I can't access anything.

Do you happen to know if the 4.8 release will come with an install wizard? It would be so much easier if it could be installed in one step and just done right from the beginning without me having to modify this or modify that.

It is pretty simple to get the client going: https://nextcoin.org/index.php/topic,4.0.html

Where are you stuck?

I agree that it should be absolutely straightforward and instantly set up for those who don't want to fiddle though (it will happen).

wiser,

NXT is not even in beta release yet! It is alpha and not ready for the masses, yet.
Jan 3rd is the beta release date.
I doubt that will be ready for mass market consumption.
Being an early adopter has its costs. You are not missing out on a lot of forging revenue, so you could just wait for a double clickable end user installer. Not sure how long the wait will be

I have heard there are about 10 million unclaimed NXT. I have a plan that would make for great PR for the NXT founders.

All they have to do is vote to distributed a non-founder dividend from the future sales of these 10 million NXT. By setting specific prices with smaller and smaller volumes at higher and higher prices, the total donation of the founders will be many millions of dollars.

BCnext gave all the founders winning lottery tickets.

If all the founders voted to not grab any of the unclaimed NXT (worth millions of dollars), our opponents will somehow have to claim that the horrible greedy NXT founders VOTED to donate money they could have easily kept for themselves. Actions speak louder than words.

Let the cycle of generosity continue!

I know all the non-founders will like this idea of a dividend that only non-founders will get.
I sure hope the founders see the wisdom in doing what BCnext did and spread the wealth.

The PR value from this will be very powerful

James

I really like James' idea with this one. It would create a good buzz!

[aldrin]

Why do you seem to be angry? I am simply stating the facts. Nxt at the moment is a very small community, volunteers works with others a lot here and at nextcoin forum. If you feel like you have done your part, then fine. We will leave it at that.

Your first words to me were.

I read aldrin's post and I don't even know what to say. You shouldn't just sell but also contribute to NXT's cause. I have not seen you much.

You know nothing about me, and yet your first comment was basically

"wow, I'm speechless, I just read aldrin's post - where does that guy get off - all he's doing is selling his NXT and he wants a medal! GET ACTIVE ASSHOLE, like me (utopianfuture). NXT wont survive unless you're visible, like me (utopianfuture)"

You're the angry one! I feel great!!

edit: and I'm active, and will be in the future, so you're original assumption is false, and your tone was rude (but I'm not angry)

Oh please you are full of bull excuses hiding behind the annonimity. I am not rude but I am frank. No wonder you don't like it. I am looking forward to see your contribution in the future.

If a tree got "active" in the forrest, and utopianfuture wasn't around to see it, did the tree really get active?

I still don't see what your point is. I'm active dude! You need to be 'visible' because you want to be a player, but you don't have a huge stake, so you need to build public connections and community kudos. I totally respect that strategy. Please respect mine!

"hiding behind the annonimity" - good one 'utopianfuture'. What's your name? Oh, that's right, you're hiding behind the anonymity too, like about 99% of the freaks on this forum.

I'm done!

[EmoneyRu]

Wow, some new short account http://87.230.14.1/nxt/nxt.cgi?action=3000&acc=1337779067

so cool

We'll use aliases for nxt wallets soon. Don't worry

[newcn]

newcn,

If you want to just purchase NXT via ripple, you don't need to use peercover's site. I work with them, I am not actually part of peercover.

In ripple you can type in any currency combination in the dropdown, so type in "NXT/XRP" and select peercover as the issuer.

There is no need to go to peercover site until you want to withdraw.

James

@jl777

   Thank you for your help, I've bought 17 nxt inside ripple, and now I want withdraw for testing purpose,
I went to peercover website, click "withdraw" and "nxt", input nxt accountid/my login email/amount, then click withdraw, but, how does your system know that 17 nxt belongs to my account? so, I still need to relate my existing ripple wallet to my peercover account, right? but, I can't find an option to do that(only create new wallet options)!

[jl777]

newcn,

After you click on withdraw it should show you a ripple address to send the NXT to. You just send it using the ripple wallet's send function. Peercover automatically knows that it is you that is sending it and it will convert the ripple NXT balance to actual NXT in your NXT account.

There will be status emails that notify you of start and completion of this process

James

[jl777]

newcn

If you notice the ripple address you are to send it to has a ?dt=<number>
That number is how the peercover server knows to send it to the NXT acct you put in
All fully automated, except for the part where you have to send back the ripple NXT to redeem it

James

[newcn]

thank you!
I noticed that coming page with a ripple address, and it's not mine,
the problem is, I don't have a chance to tell peercover my ripple address!

[lophie]

I dunno what the argueing above is all about butbpseudo identity is enough for me, you dont have to know my life story and I dont have to know yours. Yet we can be as productive and active more than those who flaunt thier identities while they sit om thier fat asses.

[jl777]

To everyone's delight, I am about to call it a night, though the street party in Montevideo is going full swing at 4am! Big change from the calm and relaxed Punta del Este of the last few days.

Anyway thanks to aldrin for his support of the non-founder dividend,
we also now have a small NXT strategic marketing group forming (more volunteers welcomed) and I am also looking for a volunteer who has stock analysis experience and/or someone with a real world brokers license, not to actually use, just for the experience. I want to make sure NXT has an investor relations group.

Like it or not, if we want the world to buy NXT, we need to make sure it is a good investment. I am advocating a Warren Buffet style fundamental investors. This alone will set NXT apart, but one the value investors start investing, we will see stable price growth. Not the crazy rollercoaster ride the speculators give us. Remember the value investors only buy when they see value, eg. discount to fair market value. This means if the price dips below what it is worth, the value investors come buying. They won't drive the price up to unsustainable highs. Slow gradual price appreciation that is sustainable does all of us much better than crazy high spike and subsequent correction.

G'nite all from Uruguay today!

I can't find this anywhere; anyone know? Why is this necessary? I even reinstalled and its still giving same error; let me log in briefly but showed a zero balance, so im both stuck and scared !
I am saying stuck, but I can get it to work, but it seems to stop working every day and I have to do something to fix it.

[seek4dream]

I checked my account just now and found the balance is 0.
it should be 20000. What is the problem? I am so worried.

[Come-from-Beyond]

customers not going to like waiting 24 hours.

Agree. We need a normal client soft ASAP.

as an aside why do i need to be on the longest chain? shouldnt my transaction propagate across the whole network causing it to get included on real chains and orphan chains alike?

U need to see the longest chain to make sure that ur transaction wasn't already confirmed.

[Come-from-Beyond]

Would it ever be possible to make pools of some kind with Nxt?

Probably would help get more people interested if they could be able to generate more Nxt from forging. Instead of the real low balance holders seeing things like having to wait months to generate a block.

For example, I believe 6635869272840226493 is the account of the DGEX exchange(since there are about 415 pages of transactions for them...). They have generated 4,985 NXT in fee's earned up till now because of the balance that is held there. Maybe one could spread it at certain intervals based on how much Nxt was invested per account. Would there be a way to use that thinking in creating a pool of some kind?

Probably not but whateva  

BCNext doesn't support centralization. U should cooperate and implement pools by urself.

Voted on Cryptsy.


@ Aldrin

Nice one, mate ! Its all I can say. Wish u all the best, thanks for this opportunity.

You think there's a reason why Sunny King wasn't able to achieve 100% proof of stake. Has Sunny King voiced his professional opinion on NxT? Or is HE the creator of NxT

Good catch. Someone should contact Sunny King and get his opinion on Nxt. No matter if he is the creator or not.

[opticalcarrier]

did you use a fairly simple passphrase or did you pick a very powerful complex one?  check your account number in the blockchain

The source is here, I only remember that in first days, there were more than 50 millions sold, in the forums, for a bargain prices

+ Bitcoin data come from the web

I think you need to do more research and make sure this is right before you distribute your video.  Give me a few minutes to research something and I will get back to you.

I am very surprised.  I have just run a rough "audit" of the first month of dgex.com based on the (433 pages!!!) data at http://87.230.14.1/nxt/nxt.cgi?action=100 for the dgex account of 6635869272840226493.  I think the data pretty conclusively shows that right at 228,000,000 million NXT coins have been deposited by around 810 deposits there since the exchange opened on November 28.  Since roughly 28,000,000 are still on deposit at the site, the rest or 200,000,000 million have indeed been withdrawn by around 3500 withdrawals.   If 50 million were indeed sold here in the forums outside of dgex.com, then it is a fact that within the past 30 days at least 25% of all NXT in existence has been exchanged to a new owner.   This is a nearly amazing number to me and something to throw in the face of anybody that calls NXT a scam.

Let me crunch the spreadsheet numbers some more and I will post some more interesting facts.  

In the meantime, salsacz, not only have you made an excellent video, it is going to spread some very important truths and facts about NXT.   I say distribute it as widely as you can!!!

That is such an misleading statement. I can make 100 deposits and 100 withdrawals on DGEX and it's still the same person. You gotta check the unique addresses, and verify that they actually belong to unique individuals. I'm not saying that the number could be close to that, or higher, but you can't make these assumptions based on number of deposits/withdrawals alone.

hello,@ CfB,
What about Quorum-Based Coin recently?
