NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information

[Come-from-Beyond]

Well I made it a global sticky at NXTCrypto Forums

and have asked all translators to notify as well

I wouldn't do it. If ppl don't take Jean-Luc words seriously they deserve to learn a lesson.

Ah, that's right.

[Come-from-Beyond]

CfB, that's not what I meant.

I mean it's people. Humans. They need 'big bold red letters'.

Look at my post above

How's that fork being defined? By majority vote?

All the other forgers will reject blocks of this malicious forger.

Hope that suffices. 51% attack possible, right? Not by stake but by number of nodes?

What about exchanges? Do you contact them explicitely about something like this so they are sure to address it?

I notified BTER.

Err which one? You made so many.

Impossible. He hurts only himself.

What? Are you kidding me?

Yes, he's just a little joker tonight.

(And he needs some psychology lessons. )

I didn't notice that it's one of the main Nxt forums.

Update to 0.5.12, critical bug in 0.5.11

It's so easy to be constructive...

EDIT: I actually missed the trick in this... I just was reliefed to see someone simply post in red instead of discussing why this wasn't posted in red...

Impossible. He hurts only himself.

Then which nodes should a new node trust? I know it could perform all the scripts that have been run for years now. But this would take weeks to complete?

I mean it's highly unlikely but even ghash.io reached 51% mining power which by then seemed undoable.

These last few pages has brought back memories of when the Nxt community was at battle with the zombies... watch this Turing or whatever you want to call it language/script be Nxt History before you know it!

Too many are on 5.11
if this is indeed a critical bug, update asap!

Fixed a critical bug. Everybody should upgrade immediately.

signatureLastBytes collects last QWORD of every transaction signature...

Could you or CfB explain this change inside pushBlock:

Code:

     Long lastBytes = Long.valueOf(new BigInteger(Arrays.copyOfRange(transaction.signature, transaction.signature.length - 8, transaction.signature.length)).longValue());
     if ((!Nxt.signatureLastBytes.add(lastBytes)) && (transaction.height != 58294)) {
       return false;
     }

this looks really disturbing...

Then which nodes should a new node trust? I know it could perform all the scripts that have been run for years now. But this would take weeks to complete?

Trust noone. Check everything.

Noone can create a very long running script. We have less than 1 billion coins.

I can, will do it later.

[relm9]

Maybe try and get a mod to update the thread title so more people are aware of this update.

[gimre]

I vote for 0.01 fee. Makes currency more attractive

you might want to update dotnxt...

Valid.

That takes us to 2). What are your suggestions and what do you think of the even split between the 1440 forgers of that day.
