Interesting document. What percent of the total coins do the devs control? It's less than 50%, isn't it?

That's what I want to know. And possibly if the addresses are public so we can see what happens with the funds.
All coins not issued to individuals in the beginning should be able to trace as transparently as possible, so we know everything is okay.
As I see it at the moment, ~5.6billion coins (around 60% of the total coins are controlled by community fund manager + devs) And at the moment it is not very clear who these community fund managers are or will be, since there is no mention in the document.

But I am sure these questions have all been answered already. I'd appreciate a link to this information.
Thanks

an hour ago I restartet my computer because NIS was not available. after that I tried to start NCC in browser and had a new wallet in my nem ncc directory böser dämon is the wallet called: B%C3%B6ser+D%C3%A4mon.wlt
and NIS is not available since then. Maybe I got hacked because how could be a wallet in my ncc directory, which is not my wallet?

Does the client have to be open and running on your PC to harvest?

Not if you are doing remote harvesting...

Hi himmelsfaller! Sites like nodeexplorer.com expose your IP address. With this information anyone could try opening NCC over the web via http://xx.xx.xx.xx:8989/ncc/web/index.html.

Chances are someone accessed your NCC and created that new wallet. When running a public node, it's best not to have NCC running (running NIS with unlocked account is all you need to keep harvesting) or change its port to something unique only you know. I could imagine that NIS is not available because the same person specified a remote server (probably non-available one), which is why your NIS doesn't boot/refuses booting.

In NCC, go to Settings and see what is specified. Change it back to your previous settings (default is 127.0.0.1 and default port checked).

If you have harvesting activated, you can go ahead and close NCC. Then simply keep NIS running. It is actually kind of a flaw that NIS can easily be made unavailable simply via NCC's front page at this point. I wanted to point this out earlier but you reminded me. Hope that helps.

This reminded me that the issue related to completely trust-free harvesting is still there. By protecting every single participant you make the whole system more vulnerable. If automatic fee transfering was removed then small fish would start to care whom they give the power of delegated harvesting to. I haven't seen an explanation why it's not an issue yet.

thanks that helps a lot. I will do what you recommend. thanks again!

This is a problem. Please view this youtube video- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbFiWeeMUDI. And then block the port 8989 to be rather safe than sorry. Everybody should block the port 8989 in the inbound and outbound rules.

Changing the port, i become this error:

ERROR 305

The NEM Infrastructure Server (NIS) is not available. Try to restart the NEM software. If you are using a remote NIS, check your configured host for typing errors or use another remote NIS.


as soon as i turn back to default port, nis turns available...

Someone did the same to me because I had port 8989 open. Close this port and you should be fine. As long as you have a strong wallet password you are safe anyway, but it's best to close this port.

Well, this is because your NIS booted with the default port. Now you're trying to connect to a different port but nothing's there. If you want to boot NIS with a port other than default, you have to change the config file @ path-to-nem/nis/config.properties. You'll find nem.httpPort = 7890 and nem.httpsPort = 7891 in that file. Change the values, then restart NIS.

BUT you probably wanted to change the port of NCC, did you? head over to path-to-nem/ncc/config.properties, change nem.httpPort = 8989 and nem.httpsPort = 9090 to the port(s) you wish to use & reboot the NEM software.

OR to simply restrict outside access to port 8989, do as amytheplanarshift suggested above, block the port.

@ciappa: Entschuldige, falls das verwirrend wirkt. Wenn du lediglich nicht möchtest, dass jemand "von außen" dein NCC aufrufen kann, dann blockiere via Firewall den Port 8989 (der Port über den der Nem-Community-Client standardmäßig läuft).

[iaminitnow06]

thx instaman, now I actually understand this software some more...
frankly I didn't get what nis and ncc is or mean earlier or why this seperation exists in the first place (lol, i'm not the tech savviest around).
I didn't know NIS is enough to be harvesting. now I know
but I think many new users will just be running nis+ncc on default port. isn't that a real issue for the network? I mean you said if ncc can be accessed then nis can be crashed!? you guys should fix that somehow.
 

It is a problem but rather a small one  . Please view this youtube video- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbFiWeeMUDI. And then block the port 8989. This will ensure that nobody can remote access your NCC. Everybody should block the port 8989 in the inbound and outbound rules.

good tip, i just changed my default ports too

how to block port 8989 on a Mac?

[KeezAZA]

How do you know how much has been invested if the client does not reflect the vested amount?
Client has been running for 4 days with 0 vested.

[Sebastien256]

heu, nem client is broken here... when update with a fix available?

Gonna have to provide more info than that. You're the only person I know of who says it is "broken".

[mixmaster]

1) I wouldn't know how you can crash NIS by accessing NCC. Btw: This does NOT mean people can access your wallet! You are using a strong password, so thats not possible even IF you have the port 8989 open!
2) By default all ports are closed in your router. Just don't open port 8989, and you are fine.
3) This is not an issue for the network. This is not even a security issue for anybody. But of course it is annoying, if people can create wallets with your NCC So yes, it IS recommended to close the port which is used for NCC, which usually is 8989.

As a BTT-stakeholder, can I already claim my stake now or is there nothing new since launch?

You will find all relevant information there.

Are there any addresses allocated to the "Sustainability Fund"?

    Marketing Fund (Launch/V1 Reward): NCMARK-ECQXP3-SQZSJP-CBKOQW-IXRRI7-LIS4FT-U4VZ
    Operational Costs Fund I: NCOPER-AWEWCD-4A34NP-5UQCCK-EX44MW-4SL3QY-JYS5
    Post-V1 Fund: NDEVPO-SK4OMR-4PRTLY-FHX4W5-QTOND7-TZDT2D-TU4Q
    Pre-V1 Fund: NDEVPR-E5ZWVG-2PXSM5-4BGZBF-F525G2-4UKVOG-OZNT
    Sustainability Fund: NDSUST-AAB2GW-HBUFJX-P7QQGY-HBVEFW-ZESBUU-WM4P (right now used for payouts for re and late claimers, after lat redemption period this will be split in the sub funds, as stated in the dev contract.

Is it possible for me to see at every point how much has been spent already on the different parts ?

This is blockchain technology, every transaction is public

Who decides how to spend it ? Who has access to these funds ?

The core team decides. No single person has access, we have all funds in multisig secured accounts.

Just a suggestion,

I think it would be nice to have the social links visible on the homepage of nem.io as well as within the client.

This would give people more opportunity to get involved and help promote NEM

Apart from facebook/twitter

Bitcoin Talk
Reddit
NEM Forum
IRC (#ournem)

Take a look at this: blog.nem.io/overview

But we could indeed include some in the client. No high priority though
Thanks for the idea!
