Hey james, thanks a ton for your recommendation! I haven't asked for it, but it would of course be fantastic to receive this amount as I have put a ton of work in my client already

Thanks again.

I'm talking about client side in memory (in the user's browser in my case).

As I said, prepareBytes also validates server side. It checks to see if the asset you are placing an order for exists, if you have enough money to pay for that asset etc.. If you try to sell, it checks to see if you have enough if the asset exists, if you have enough of the asset to sell of, etc.. As you can see, prepareBytes takes just 1 API request, whereas another client would have to do multiple (check if asset exists, check if enough of asset to sell, etc). If the client does not do error validation this it will always think it returns successfully (broadcastTransaction does not verify).

So I am dumbfounded as why you would want to disable this, since it may actually result in _less_ api calls. Also I think there should be no made up words like "ultralight" and "light" clients.

It is not so easy after all. Actually, real-world shares enables you to vote for/against certain actions the company will do in the future.

If companies are going to fund themselves via NXT, they need to solve that first.

To re-formulate it: why should an existing jurisdiction back up his claim?

Only risk what you can afford to loose.

And even that will not save you from potential lossess. Just look at MtGox.

But you have to take the risk if you want to make big money. Otherwise put your money on a bank account, that´s pretty safe, yet.

Huh, at the end it allways come down to a matter of trust...

oh well in that case the original question doesnt apply if the client doesnt sync the blockchain and actually forge.  And I do see your point now on less server load - that does make sense.  I do still like the ultralight term for a client though, especially since now it seems like not so bad of a thing anyways.

I suppose you could reduce the need for trust if the company used NXT's voting system for the shareholder votes and if the majority of the company's balance sheet assets were held on the AE platform.
