NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information

[2Kool4Skewl]

GREAT ....any time frame?

Will see after the release.

PS: Is anyone going to do PR and other things on the 3rd of Jan? Jean-Luc will publish the source code, I will publish info regarding the bounties for code review. Someone should call girls and bring some beer.

Maybe Psybits could run another press release regarding the publication of the source code and mention the community's website nxtcrypto.org.

We should enumerate 3, 4 fundamental bullet points -- layman's terms -- differentiating NXT from BTC. Also differentiating NXT from the 999+ other alts.

Maybe I'm completely misreading the crowd here, but we seem to skew heavily tech/geek. Many popular/heavy traffic political news sites will post the occasional bitcoin headline grabber but not follow the actual 'issues' that NXT will address. If these editors grokked the issues, we could receive heavy coverage.

NXT as a sovereign tool to free us from fiat's grasp. Sounds overblown, but it's true. This issue -- 'sovereign entity' vs. 'corrupt fiat system' could gain traction quickly.

I'm thinking places like reason.com, libertyunbound.com, etc.

One site that is heavily trafficked that we would have a good chance of getting a mention is instapundit.com, a libertarian/law/general news aggregate site that promotes 'small guy' issues quite a bit. We just need a cogent introduction and a portal for these editors to visit.

The professor/lawyer/writer that runs instapundit is Glenn Reynolds -- he recently wrote a book called An Army of Davids (alluding to David vs. Goliath). This guy understands technology, but also understands larger issues (i.e., the Ukrainian protesters sandwiched between the EU and Putin.

We really need to get info to guys like Glenn. NXT can be mentioned alongside tech like RasPi... it can also be mentioned alongside austerity measures, quantitative easing, protests, etc. We need to think big.

Think outside the blockchain.

Well, guys. Something should be fixed in Nxt protocol to attract more girls. I would pay 1K for a good idea.

Like I have told you, we are working day in and day out on this with zero help from any founders. But yes we are preparing the most we can in terms of video, infographics, press releases, app, comment waves etc.

Anyone who wants to join in helping please fill out the questionaire over at https://nextcoin.org/index.php/topic,1718.0.html

Deadline

Why do I feel Deadline is useless or excess?

[BloodyRookie]

@developers: Is the memory leak that has been fixed in 0.4.8 related to having no internet connection/router reset/changed ip? Because every night after my router reconnects my nxt server runs out of memory within 30 minutes.

May I interupt here to mention Twister: Twister is the fully decentralized P2P microblogging platform leveraging from the free software implementations of Bitcoin and BitTorrent protocols.

http://twister.net.co/   It's alpha now.

Look forward to Nxt Arbitary Message.

can you verify with your IT guy how that DDOS prevention works?  Cause Im not certain yet if that will help us, as I thought the DDOS we were seeing was a specialized protocol that worked well above OSI layers 4/5.  I thought the DDOS attacks we were seeing were well into the cient protocol operation.  IF that is the case then Im not sure this DDOS thing you have will help.

Can an expert who has analyzed the DDoS attacks comment here?  Please let us know what your IT guy says.  If this is viable then we all really need to go figure out how to make this work on our particular distros on our VPSs

Yes I would like to know this as well. If if does, I can deploy it on my VPSs

Forwarded this to him, I will let u know asap...

"The ddos-deflate bash script is  a free  anti-ddos solutions so if you suffer from a large scale DDos  attack it will not be possible to stop it.

In that case you will need a hardware firewall in front from your VPS which  are very expensive ( ~$30k ) or you could move to some host that provides anti-ddos firewall protection ( which is also too expensive).

So at the layer 7 DDOs attack attacker looks like a legitimate connection, and is therefore passed on to the  application server.
At that time the attacker begins requesting large numbers of files/objects using HTTP GET.

The DDOS Deflate will monitor these requests (to the ports  that we have already configure at the Iptables firewall or the  Advanced Policy Firewall) and block the IPs that exceed the threshold that we have configure at the ddos.conf file."

I hope this help guys, my friend registered here but is isolated in the Newbies section atm.

I will be away today so I wish everyone a happy New Year with health, luck, love & wealth!

SIMPLE IDEA:


1) Implement voting as we DO NEED A FUNCTIONAL ASSET EXCHANGE ASAP!


2) For Freezing accounts we need MINIMUM THRESHOLD OF 75% VOTES -- 750  Million Nxt....if we get 749,000,000 ...no freeze.


3) To destroy we need MINIMUM THRESHOLD OF 90% VOTES -- 900 Million Nxt


51% can be use for normal votes...routine business Exchange stuff....but the 2 exceptions above should be set in stone.

As soon as someone can prove that neither 90%, 75% or 51% of all NXT assets is hold by a group of say 10 people or less, I'll second this.

Problem is - you can't...


I still don't get why anyone would want voting based on number of NXT you have.

It has been repeatedly said that voting based on number of NXT would be a democracy approach. It is not. It is severe capitalism.

Imagine that your government would be voted based on the assets you hold in your bank account.

Ok thanks this is good info.  Someone whohas analyzed our recemt ddos attacks would have to comment next

I kindly suggest you to pls advise a better approach to this problem.

We are open to practical solutions....as Nxt is an anonymous decentralized system...it would be very hard indeed to prove any accounts identity.

So, what's good about people with no assets voting in populist politicians who promise them free goodies, thus bankrupting the system by making it to borrow more money from future generations? This system is bound to collapse sooner rather than later.

So, voting based on the number of assets is the most stable kind of democracy.

[marcus03]

We need the Voting System for a fully functional and efficient NXT Asset Exchange.

Then, as Come-from-Beyond has been trying to insinuate repeatedly, we can vote AGAINST anything that can do harm to NXT.

At that point you've opened Pandoras Box already.

Let me play Mr. 91% big-stake with his assets spread over multiple accounts. I want to rule NXT.

Act 1 - First vote: Should we use voting in general? I vote yes - and win
Act 2 - Second vote: Should we have a 95% rule for certain rules? Nah... - I win.
Act 3 - Third vote: Should we have a 90% rule for certain rules? Sounds good. I win.
Act 4 - I am now in control over NXT.
