Hmm, I see. Most say just: 'why?' or the like .... let me see. I send you PM.

1 NXT fee. I don't see any reason of lowering the fee today. Maybe then 1 NXT will be 1 USD.

guys, lets all just take a step back for a second and take a deep breath.  it looks like we are well past the point where we start to fragment.  A few weeks ago we were all doing great as a team.  When did it start to change?  I went over to nextcoin to ask about something in the peerexplorer thread and got accused of hiding something for running my network of heavy-hallmarked VPSs.

Not sure what is going wrong here.. LOL is that the real experiment?  Is it really a social experiment BCNext is playing on us?  LOL

Some people is simply uneasy waiting for developments. Even if we were guinea pigs, the best we can do is chill. I second your deep breath.

Once BTT stops 502ing thanks to the Maxcoin launch...

Just stepped back in and caught up.  Lots of stuff going on in the few hours I was away.

Regarding min fee, I think Passion_ltc's estimate is good:  0.25

That's assuming there is a large jump in Nxt price.  $1 USD per NXT seems a bit unrealistic to me at this time.  Then again, as I like to tell my friends, if there's one thing I know I do understand about cryptocurrency markets it's that I don't understand cryptocurrency markets.  

On Visa speeds and marketing: If saying we have Visa speeds or 1000 tps is worrying people that it may lead to unfulfilled expectations then I think we don't have to compare Nxt to Visa in marketing.  Instead perhaps we should say near-real-time or near-instant transactions. Or just the fastest transaction times in cryptocurrency.

On Turing-completeness and marketing: we shouldn't use the T-word in marketing, or perhaps only in the fine print.  Instead, we should push "smart transactions" or "complex transactions automatically" or "programmable transactions" and have aside-style blurbs to explain further for those interested.

On Turing-completeness and other Nxt work: some people expressed concern that we would be working on this instead of other features.  They might have a point.  However, only speaking for myself, the area of virtual machines is something I have experience in and is a place I can contribute.  Other features of Nxt, that's all new territory for me so I can't just jump in an be productive in those areas.  

I took a look at zero-knowlege proofs and that might as well be black-mathemagic to me.  

But VMs I learned how to do those back in the '90s.

Forging on low-cost computers with limited storage: those days may be numbered.  Leasing forging power will be where we want to shift marketing once it is implemented.

On 0.5.12: oh shit.  Upgraded.

It's not uncommon at all

Apparently were entering a new phase, some new people come in, some developments create tension etc.

This happens in ANY group. It's not a biggie so long as a bit of lightheartedness stays.

Once we all take it very seriously, then there will be problems.

Some things didn't go the way we expected. That is never fun. Apparently they are fixable to some extent and some ideas will need to be changed.

Let's keep in mind that we are still moving enormously fast for a decentral group. A bit of appreciation for all your own efforts is a good thing.

Something that I probably missed:

How is the script being included into the scripts-blockchain? By sending it to forgers like transactions?
How is the script being deactivated on the blockchain i.e. nobody can execute in anymore?

Who has the permissions to do what?

I'm cool... I'm cool... ;-)  Will take a day off from NXT tomorrow. On average, NXT community rocks! :-)

Like a transaction.
Scripts r executed when blocks r added to the blockchain.

Anyone can do that.

Here is version 1.6 of my Windows NXT client "NXT Solaris". Still closed-source, but I am getting at it... :-)

The future open-source client is still missing the market graphs and all data grids show raw data only. I still need to finish the GUI design here.

Changelog
Changed for v1.6:
-Two versions are now included: closed and (future) open source version (open source code to be released until February 16th, 2014)
-Starter application lets you choose between open and closed source version
-NRS and JRE are now bundled with NXT Solaris. One download to get up and running.
-Updated Vircurex API address
-Removed NxtChg.com exchange
-Random secrets are now 25 characters long to make the keypass password quality display happy (it doesn’t know the size of the alphabet)
-A couple of bug fixes

Installation
Simply unzip the archive and run the NXTSolarisStarter.exe file.

The current version 1.6 is not compatible with previous versions, so please delete any existing NXT Solaris files before updating to 1.6.

Roadmap
1.) Move current version of my code to XE5 and release closed source 32-bit and 64-bit versions for Windows. [DONE]
2.) Refactor code to a MVC architecture, so that I can create separate GUIs while using the same version of the business logic code. [DONE]
3.) Create new GUIs for Windows and OS X using the same business logic, but based on the cross-platform Firemonkey libraries. [90% DONE]
4.) Release Windows version (32 and 64 bit) based on FireMonkey. [DONE]
5.) Release source-code for FireMonkey Windows version (February 16th, 2014 latest)
6.) Implement new features from the TODO list
7.) OSX compatibility changes
8.) Release OSX version based on FireMonkey.
9.) Release source code for FireMonkey OSX version.

TODO list
-OS version: Design all data grids
-OS version: Market graph
-Offer a simple and advanced GUI, with the simple GUI targeted at new users
-Implement client side Curve25519 encryption/signing
-Arbitrary message encryption


Donations
I hope you like my client and I’d be extremely happy to see some donations for the future of this project!
