Off topic. Approximately how long does it take to harvest something? and is there a way to check if you are really harvesting?it has been more than 24hrs after my vested balance was >10k and I haven't harvest anything with 0,82% importance, is that normal?

although it is necessary to have 50-60k to be less time and succeed in the catch block and so conceived in the system of the NEM, although the planned harvesting at 10,000 NEM and the probability that the catch block too, but here we have to say that the importance of the account and receive blocks accounts with a large number of coins ( now probably accounts more 1x mln ), and that here at this stage the probability to catch a block with 10k is equal to 0, but to catch the empty blocks ( blocks without pay ) can be obtained, although, but the chance is 0.80% on catch block is not bad and that probably from 24-48h it will take time for this

Awesome, thanks! Atm my vested balance is 25k and my balance around 160k.

2 more things I noticed

1)http://nodeexplorer.com/ has currently 0 nodes. Not sure why

2) Does NEM's POI favours exchanges such as Poloniex with more importance than an active user or is there something that avoids exchange to control the harvesting? I read the white paper but this still not clear to me.

Cheers

I can't decipher everything but I'm pretty sure the .82% is incorrect. Even if the importance score - which is in ‰ btw, not % - would translate 1:1 into likelyhood of harvesting, not all XEM are harvesting.

1) been like that for some time. Site is broken appearantly.

2) Nope, nothing that kepps exchanges from harvesting which makes it even more important that people don't keep their XEM on exchanges. You can be active like a mad man you're not going to outweigh THAT kind of balance.

Could someone explain in a few words what namespaces and mosaics are?
Or could someone point me to a site where the features are explained?

So, are you saying that your XEM balance in an exchange counts as if theirs?

ANY currency (even USD), the moment you send to an exchange (bank, whatever) the money is no longer yours (you only have a promise from the receiving institution - IOU). Mind that...

Yes, of course it does. And you should consider it at risk since most exchanges don't even utilize mullti-sig (in fact does anyone know of an exchange that does use it ?) because they don't appear to give a shit about security until it's too late.

Thank you for the reply.
So I have the delegated harvester goin now. does this mean I can shut the computer down now
and it will still harvest for me.?

Question dev team When using delegated harvesting.
would it be havesting still even when my comp is shut down?

There has to be a node somewhere harvesting on that key.  If somebody else running a node is willing to harvest for you (which is pretty easy for some people) then yes, you can turn your computer off. 

If you are running an NIS on your home computer, once you have it running and harvesting for your account, it is safe to turn off the NCC and close your browser.

it will, as long as the node that is harvesting with your account is running.

[gsxrl3oi]

How will I know that the node is still up and runnin? thanks

no easy way to do that rly. You can check it from time to time but that's about it.

OK Thanks a lot for the help.
off topic any chance we can get a mobile app soon or maybe even be able to harvest with our smart phone.

Could someone explain in a few words what namespaces and mosaics are?
Or could someone point me to a site where the features are explained?

Check these out:

(Im getting a warning sign again on nem.io?)

[ElitistCA]

getting warning sign too

[nzminer]

Ive been having nothing but trouble with my wallet for the last week or so.

Now i cant get into NCC, when i try and login to my wallet, it says NIS is not available, even though it says it is running on the tray icon.

Turning off antivirus and firewall makes no difference.

yes, nem.io has a warning sign AGAIN.  so sad.  Saul is working to fix it.

off topic any chance we can get a mobile app soon or maybe even be able to harvest with our smart phone.

The iOS mobile app is almost done.  All panels and all functions have been built.  We are just working through the last few bugs this week and then will open it up for wider release testing.  

If you have iOS and would like to test, please send me a private message with the email you log in for iTunes with and I can get you added to the list.  

Android is not far behind iOS.  All panels have been built, but we are waiting on a small thing in the configurations menu to be activated.

Why don't people that are having problems with NCC (mostly problems that have  been explained/solved 100 times over by the way...no offense) just use the standalone lightwallet ? That's exactly why they made it. NCC has a shitty UX. The lightwallet literally couldn't be any simpler. You don't even need Java installed.

http://bob.nem.ninja/lightwallet-standalone-1.1b-cdn-nginx1.8.zip

It's a really early version but it works good enough.

My wallet has been working 100% fine since day 1 until the last week when all sorts of crap has happened for no reason.

Yes i should ask on the nem forums but havnt registered yet and im sick of signing up to countless forums for all the coins i hold etc, but NEM is one forum i should register on.

Anyway, i havnt seen anyone else reporting my issue, but i will ask on the nem forums if i will get more help there.

Ive also been concerned about security with the light wallet as mentioned here, so i would rather just use NCC if possible.

Dont know whats so shitty with NCC, its been absolutley great for me (until now! lol)

Im also interested in hosting a node, since im in New Zealand, it would be great to have some nodes running down here
