Electronic Frontier Foundation[/b]  https://www.eff.org/ and it is about the rights on the internet. So it is followed by 200.000 people from crypto and digital medias. EFF already accepts Bitcoin (https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2013/05/thank-you-bitcoin-community) and has got 3xmore followers on Facebook and 400x more followers on Twitter (180.000) than songsoflove.org. We have the same goal here - to have internet without censorship of the governments. Nxt will provide it.

It wouldn't hurt to try with them also.

looks nice at first glance.

what made me laugh:

Nxs, pronounced "Nexus"

Nexus, rings a bell, right?

...  If it doesn't recover by itself, you will need to delete the nxt_db folder and redownload the blockchain.

What is wrong with the consensus mechanism?

- yes, it would be nice to hear the answer. How can it happens, that node "doesn't recover by itself" ?  If so, that it is definitely something wrong with the consensus mechanism ...

Only 720 block depth for autorecovery is allowed.

- does it mean, then if your node fell into fork, it will automatically recover to the correct chain in 720 blocks time?

Hi,

I'm developing AE UI but against the java api, not the json api. How would i go about that? Can i get a copy of the test nxt blockchain (if there is any) or the class files used on holms.cloudapp.net:6874?

Thanks!

No.

1. community raises NXT for charity
2. charity gets NXT
3. What happens now? Do they hold or sell it?

I think the third point is important. We believe that the price will rise in the future, so it would be wise for them to hold. That would mean also that they don't need a huge pile of NXT. But who are we to tell them "just hold it, this will (probably) help you enormously in the future". How did the BTC community 'handled' it?

Many little projects with a goal of maybe 20,000 NXT or two or three big projects and a huge load of NXT from the community.

What are the consequences for marketing?

Back to problems with my public node. Today I see all blocks, which appears in blockchain and in recents blocks are not accepted in my public node with the error "DEBUG: Block XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX not accepted. Previous block id doesn't match".

What is going on? Do I need to shutdown my node?

Public node http://217.17.88.5:7874/ It shows correct blockchain blocks, it is not on fork.

When the Nxt are theirs, they're theirs. It's up to them to decide.
We can advise, but that advice will always be biased.

It must be clear THEY decide, as it's their money.

This will also mean they will actually have to research Nxt to make a decision

Edit: this is also a reason Songs of love was chosen, as they don't want it converted to USD, but actually want the cryptos.

Just tested it, check it out. It's an alternative style for the web client:

Code:

## Installation

To install Nxs, copy the directory to the `webapps/root` directory of the Nxt Client and rename it to `nxs`. Then, open `etc/webdefault.xml` and add this:

	<init-param>
		<param-name>relativeResourceBase</param-name>
		<param-value>/nxs</param-value>
    </init-param>

... I'm too used to the original but it's cool

No.

It means after 720 blocks a node will never recover!

Public node http://217.17.88.5:7874/ It shows correct blockchain blocks, it is not on fork.

It just means other nodes are generating incorrect blocks (perhaps on a fork). Don't worry about it if you aren't on a fork.

It says debug, not error

Cool to see another web client, however it seems to be using api calls that will be removed soon (getInitialData / processNewData)

[TEST RELEASE OF NODECOIN MINER]

I did a quick proof of concept NXTcoin today. The coin is actually a NXT AE Asset called "nodecoin", there are 1 billion nodecoins. I made a nodeminer that has been tested on Mac and Linux, no guarantees on Windows. It is is pretty portable C in a self-contained file, so there is a decent chance it will compile under Windows. Let me know if you get it ported to Windows.

OK, so nodecoin was a great idea from Mises_77 yesterday. It inspired me to do some programming and I took a lot of shortcuts. No complaining about lack of features, it is less than 12 hours old!

How does it work? You simply run nodeminer from the command line with your NXT acct id. It does not needs your passkey. For now it is hardcoded to testnet and has a very fast cycle time of 10 seconds. Every 10 seconds that you are forging, 1 nodecoin is "created". However, I was lazy and didnt bother to keep track of who forged which coins, and I certainly didnt database the incoming info. I just add up everyone's total into unclaimed nodecoins. If you are forging, you will be able to see the total unclaimed nodecoins.

Now comes the fun part. ANYBODY can claim all the unclaimed nodecoins by sending in 1 NXT!!

Of course, if there is more than 1 bidder, then the highest bidder wins. I would like to test higher load scenarios, so the more people that test it, the better.

There will be a contest. The one who has the most nodecoins in about 48 hours, will win a 1000 NXT bounty.  Please report any fatal bugs.

build with: gcc -o nodeminer nodeminer.c -lcurl
run with: ./nodeminder <NXT ACCT NUMBER>

I can´t understand how it supposed to work..?
Everyone is mining, but the coins  go to the guy who claims them?

[TEST RELEASE OF NODECOIN MINER]

Any solutions for those not comfortable compiling, using command line tools etc?

edit: I ask because I just discovered Xcode 5 no longer includes GCC.

it should work with most compilers, but I made compiled versions:

Ubuntu version: http://209.126.71.170/ubuntu/nodeminer md5 e5e7b827e86b92168a28d33fcb6ea1ce
Mac version http://209.126.71.170/mac/nodeminer md5 b5f52738f6b42378d76f90a8a1902253

when you finally going to stop wasting time, money and resources on all them useless side projects of yours.

STOP BURNING COMMUNITY NXT on useless marketing and side project with 0 result

stick to BCNext his plan.

Huh, since when were you so concerned about NXT? If I remember correctly... something something, you dumping, and the price goes up over 50%.

FYI, James is doing great work. He just implemented the first working coin on top of NXT (although obviously in the testnet, this is new territory).
