I think the concept of pools in Nxt is a non-starter: it doesn't make any sense, except under one scenario.

Pooling coins for Nxt has no impact on ROI. The effect is psychological. You'll get less Nxt more often, but you won't earn more Nxt than you would forging alone.

The only reason it makes sense is if you can't run software all the time, or are frustrated with having to update it every two days to keep from being left on a fork due to software changes and fixes.

People who want pools are people who believe (against all factual data) that pooling gives them additional reward. This is a fallacy and we should not support the belief.

People who want to "set it and forget it" have a valid argument, but IMHO not enough of one to warrant adding "pooled forging" to Nxt's core.

So I need to combine all the txids from getTrades and transferAsset txids to calculate exact balance in all accounts of an asset.

I am assuming the txid from getTrades will be for the corresponding placeBidOrder or placeAskOrder.

I that is correct, I dont really need to know the exact price, but I am curious how to find out what price the trade executed at. If two people put in a bid and ask in the same block, with the bid higher than the ask, what is the executed price and how can I find that out in the blockchain?

I am currently writing an AE audit program. It will make sure all asset balances are correct. I think we need to have this running while we have several active tradebots making all sorts of trades, big and small, from many computers.

If after a million trade brute force test, everything still reconciles, then it should be good to go

Nxt doesn't have 90% protection yet. TF is not completed.

Trades have the price.

Current NXT circulation:
1. Buy NXT from initial stakeholder.
2. Register alias send message issue asset and pay fee to stakeholder.
3. Goto :1

As I always said, forging was created for stakeholders. You (community) always said that "when we'll have more transactions, fees would be better distributed". False! Forging is not dependent on fee in expected block. The only thing that will change is that stakeholders would get back their sold NXT faster.

Nxt is good platform. It is another P2P software like Bittorent. We need to find another way to prevent spam and get rid of NXT.

Personally, I don't like pools. They are counterproductive, they don't tell the message Nxt wants to give (decentralization), and they can be dangerous right now.

Maybe we should revisit the pool-idea in the future, when other things are ready.
