NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information

[newsilike]

I just watched another great talk by Andreas M. Antonopoulos.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTPQKyAq-DM
He says that humans have a much greater experience in  securing things physically then digital.

And fully agree with that, that's why I have most of my bitcoin on a paper wallet, bip38 encrypted.


But how can we do this with NXT?

From my understandings you always have to connect a pass-phrase with an account, therefore you have to be online, which brings a potential security risk.

How can I securely store my NXT?


btw. Andreas isn't really informed about NXT and it's potential.

No coin in the name, NXT is fine.

This may address your concern. A really cool project.  https://nextcoin.org/index.php/topic,728.0.html

The one found is the weakest of the three critical flaws, right?

I agree with this and I believe it's an excellent idea and naming strategy for marketing and promotion purposes.  The only thing I would change is the spelling and use the conventional correct spelling so it's easy for new users to find, spell, and search online such as:

Nextcoin
Nexttalk
Nexttrade

and wrap it all under one umbrella such as "Next Economy"?

I'm not sure about the "Next Economy" but I'm gonna definitely start referencing your terms in my upcoming Nextcoin videos unless I see a better naming convention.

We have already discussed that several times. It is Nxt, not Next, and there is no coin in it. SEO is irrelevant.

So after I increased blacklist period 100 times, to catch wrongdoers long-term, and after 2 rescans in 30 minutes here is the list:

203.174.12.25   
95.85.22.142   
vps3.nxtcrypto.org   
node1.nextcoin.it   
node09.nxtbase.com   
162.243.140.133   
78.46.63.221   
162.243.214.183   
37.209.120.192   
node3.nextcoin.it

How come are supposedly legit and trustable nodes feeding my node with garbage? Using NXT 0.5.5 on Win7 64 and Java 64 bit.

Another thing, if someone could tell why http://22k.io works for me but checking my address there returns Internal Server Error
that would be great!

SEO is irrelevant...

...because Google-killer will be based on Nxt.

www.nxtcoins.nl has just been updated.

Decided to fork out for a backend that is a bit more flexible and allows me to add future content and keep the site up to date more easily.

If there are some Dutchies out there, consider plugging the site, as well as giving me some input on what needs to be/can be added.

Had a fun afternoon

Nxt CubieTruck

CubieTruck arrived here yesterday and I got it online with Nxt Client 0.5.4e and 0.5.5 after several hours work. To set up CT and let it work is not so easy but it can be handled with the help of google and some knowledge of linux. I promised to write a small guide for the set up of Cubietruck, so I will tell you how to do it and hope you nxters get CT set up and happy forging. The following steps may be a little simple and without so many details, but I will tell you what you need to take care and I hope I have time to finish it with details.

Firstly, let's see the box. It's a little bigger than Raspberry Pi. CT was designed in Zhuhai and made in Zhuhai, China. Actually, I just learned it a week ago. Before that, I ran a public VPS node and a Rasberry Pi node. The Pi node has only 512 M memory, and it was very slow as I complained it before. So I was very eager to have one mini PC more powerful to run Nxt 24/7.

Open the box, you get the red board and the other accessories, including the mini USB you will use to flash the system and power line.

Okay, now let's assemble the board with the plastic case. It doesn't need any other device and it will just take you several minutes. So you get it as following.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/e27hq47m6eeena5/IMG_20140111_155551.jpg


After the assembling, now the soft part coming. We need to light up the cubieboard. Before we start it, let's learn a little about the cubieboard 3, that is, cubietruck. The official website is  http://cubieboard.org . One great forum for it is  www.cubieforums.com, which you will reference to for your question. You can find the hardware information about the board, and here I just mention the CPU is ARM A20, and 2 gb memory, and it has 8 gb nand flash memory, so you don't need to prepare additional micro SD card to install operating system to set up Nxt client.

So now we install a operating system to nand flash memory. I choose to install lubuntu system. There are two great guides for it.  =http://docs.cubieboard.org/tutorials/ct1/installation/cb3_lubuntu-12.10-desktop_nand_installation_v1.00Here cubieboard doc and another blog. BTW, I downloaded lubuntu image from http://dl.cubieboard.org/software/a20-cubietruck/lubuntu/ct-lubuntu-nand-v1.01/ct-lubuntu-desktop/ , which is lubuntu 13.04 system, not 12.10.

After download the image and the flashing tool, you can use the mini USB bus to flash the image to the board. It's simple to do according to those instructions. When the system installation complete, you can start the system. However, you don't know how is going on. Don't worry, you don't even need the monitor, mouse and keyboard. Plug the network to the board and wait one or two minutes, and then you can get your board IP address through your router's (here for me is http://192.168.2.1) client list. The client "cubietruck" is just your cubietruck board, and here I get my board IP 192.168.2.105. Now ssh with putty to your board. Wow, I connected to it. The default user name for lubuntu is "linaro", and password is also "linaro". So you login and do what you want to do.

Do something as the above blog recommends to do. One important thing you need to do is to combine two partitions in the nand flash memory so as to get bigger root file system. "/dev/nandb" is mounted as root system, and after the installation you may have about 700 M space for use, but it is too small for install java and other development tools and libraries. There is another "/dev/nandc" partition which owns about 5 gb. You can get help from http://www.cubieforums.com/index.php?topic=1134.msg6783#msg6783  to get things done.

I also installed desktop for the system by "sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop", and then installed x11vnc for vnc desktop connection. After those work, finally, I set up java environment and install Nxt client. I works fine and it's running very fast and easy to deal with vnc connection for web browser operating. The images go here for you.

I would like to make a few of observations from the point of view of Bitcoin (and perhaps Litecoin) investors who have recently taken an interest in Nxt.

1) This project is being managed and run quite well - you guys are delivering results and improving the code constantly - this is creating a lot of interest.

2) Don't worry so much about all the "bells and whistles" now - get the basic stuff working solidly and keep to strict plans - nothing better than a project that runs smoothly and improves constantly.

3) "The revolution will not be centralised" - stick to this and keep the bounties going for small projects that help do this and help get the initial NXT spread around more.

100 NXT or 100k NXT? The second exactly? Is this a joke?
