What web.xml options add most to stability of NXT server? The stability problems could simply be from suboptimal web.xml settings.

Does the 0.5.3 install use the most stable options in web.xml?
Are there any other files that need to be tweaked?

I am thinking that a lot of the problems in the field could be related to having a wrong set of settings. We are so close to a stable NXT server. I updated my peers list and now it is not going brain dead. Still need more time, but looking good so far.

The only thing that was changed was the list of peers, but I remember seeing a bunch of different tweaks. Has anybody tested the effect of the different tweaks on NXT server stability. So much work has been put into NXT, it would be a shame if a new NXT'er gets a bad experience due to suboptimal settings.

It got lost overnight

Had the latest peers list, 0.5.3 and it had the usual bunch of orphans, etc. Maybe something about being on a Mac?

There is no way any large exchange will list NXT until the NXT server is stable. I am spending a lot of effort to smooth things over with peercover. Crashing or hanging servers, very bad

OK trying out the amazon free EC2 VPS... Now im no stranger to SSH key authentication, Ive got 12 VPS doing it now.  But this amazon shit dont work... it doesnt like the private key they gave me... Dont even see anywhere to go to ask them to reset it either.

what next?

I think you need to use "ubuntu" and not root if on Ubuntu. To standardize across different clouds, I create a nxt user, copy authorized_keys,  and don't use root/ubuntu user anymore.

BCNext = Beyonce comes Next = Come from Beyonce ??

solved...

U could ask rickyjames to find BCNext and ask who he is...

Each post should has its own link url in this forum and we can exactly locate the post. For example, you post should be link https://asktom.cf/index.php?topic=345619.msg4401865#msg4401865

Edit: I also summarize a post for Nxt Client Update Link and see my signature.

not working for me, in my firefox browser.  All those links including the one i just quoted from you, just go to the top of the page the post is on.  so its prob just me then.  I used to work for me though, no idea why it doesnt now.

Here my chorme works fine. Maybe it's the browser's problem.

Bounty announcement

100'000 NXT will be paid for working JavaScript code that signs and verifies signatures using NRS algo.

- The licence must allow to use the code in any application
- Sign/verify speed must be not lower than 100 signatures per second on a 1 GHz CPU (1 core)
- All the code must be in a single non-obfuscated well-formatted .js file
- Input/output values must be strings like "8302504e4e57c6c65335289879c6915a273d3aae7bd086058e403fcd2bc18341"

The bounty is valid till the 20th of January, 2014 12:00:00 UTC. The complete code must be published in this thread.

Currently i can't see solution for speed up my code to achieve goal, so i decided release it in current state. Other conditions are met.

https://github.com/moadib/nxt_crypto_js

On my PC(core i5 2.6ghz) JS code on Google V8(chrome, nodejs) took approx 200ms per signature.

The main problem is that JS doesn't support 64bit math, so script spend most time on emulating this.

Hi - been helping Olivier test his iPhone client - one of the issues is fees for forged blocks are not showing up in the balance he builds from the transactions...

He asked the question here

https://nextcoin.org/index.php/topic,2137.msg21112.html#msg21112

But no one answered and he couldn't find it in the Wiki - can anyone help here and I'll tell him or post a reply to this link - ta.

Basically we get;

Balance: 60272
Effective Balance 60276

The total of the transitions is 60272 - i.e. he's not picking up my previous forged 4 NXT!!
There must be something because it shows on the block explorer.

Thanks.

5.3 didnt seem to work well for me AT ALL.  very frequent rolling back along with maxing out the fan, memory, and CPU.  Went back to 5.1.  At least thats how it worked on my PC.  all my VPSs seem fine on 5.3 though

Hey, I made NxtMac - which I presume is what you're using. I have no issues with it on 0.5.3 - can't be of further help though.. :/

I converted .pem to openssh format. As said here it was not even needed. "note: PEM private keys are OpenSSH's native format for protocol 2 keys"

Check the username. For ubuntu default is "ubuntu"

amazons instructions were to use it like I have always used it "ssh -i PATHTOPEMFILE root@IPADDRES" yet it doesnt work.  Surely there is someone there that can reset it?

You are still connecting with "root" username.
Use "ubuntu", Luke

You have to walk the blockchain and find the blocks generated by the account and add up fees.

"Once a deposit is made, the funds transferred become the property of DGEX.com and
    the client can hold no claim for the funds displayed on their DGEX.com account..."

Am I the only one who finds this a very disturbing part of the terms and conditions?
I must confess this is the first time I've looked at the terms, too, so my own fault.

However, I did some research and these are out of the ordinary terms, basically stating: "My money is now yours"

This is totally different from any other exchange, where the money is referred to as "client money", which is held by the exchange on behalf of the client.

Hmm we thought that might be the case - kinda hoped it wasn't...

went to -2540 blocks, 2543 orphaned blocks, 17803 unconfirmed transactions, within half an hour after redownloading block chain

Not sure if this is relevant, but the My transactions window ends up with duplicate transactions listed some old transactions from last week are duplicated. I was having a lot of problems sending, i think due to system clock and 15 seconds issue.

Hmm... other than the duplicates in My Transactions, it seems that it is still moving forward:

This seems to be an issue with NRS display? Just a bit worrisome about negative recent blocks, so many orphans and unconfirmed. Is this normal?
