so many branches.

Guys, please buy some vps to help nxt!

Some hours ago I've sent some Nxt to DGEX. They are confirmed 10+ times but have not arrived at DGEX account.

Now, on DGEX website says:


But if I cancel the pending deposit, will them send the Nxt back? Or should I wait until the current problems with DDos are solved?
(I have read the last pages of the thread but haven't found any mention of this problem)

Java itself is not insecure today. And efficiency is not a big problem for PoS currency, good enough for quick start. Things can be much worse if devs used PHP or Perl
Anyway, I hope we'll get better client in Jan/Feb next year.

Btw, did you know that there are a lot of hi-load financial software written in Java?

Do we need a VPS to run Nxt?  I could get one.

I am still trying to figure out how the client works exactly. First, it was updating blocks in my client screen, but then it stopped after the ddos attack today. Also, my countdown ticker for my next generate block went offline.

How does that ticker work exactly?  It jumps all around for me (when I was able to see it).  It would go from 38 minutes to 8 hours to 1 day back to 25 minutes.

Does it actually count down to a generated block eventually?

As you can tell, I am still very confused as to how the block generation works. I have quite a large amount of Nxt, so I thought I would be able to generate quicker. But perhaps its more complicated than I realized.

Yes

Some time ago Nextcoin.org came back online. There is a statement from DGEX owner Graviton:


Seems the only thing we can do is wait.

P.S.: I am stuck at block 22530, having downloaded the latest "nxtfiles.zip".

Could anyone publish blocks.nxt and transactions.nxt with a chain that has 22600+ blocks?

No. Decentralized network is supposed to search for longest chain, which is actually not longest but the one with highest cumulative difficulty.

VPS with static ip address can setup hallmark, which could help the network alot.
