No connections :-(

Would be nice if we could somehow figure this out

To the point. NXT since then has done a tremendous progress for the non tech guys like me and what I really like about them is that they have almost daily a market update report. They talk about prices of alts, NXT price speculation, graphs etc...

Can we do something similar here?

Wouldn't make sense at the moment as the product is not yet released. Once we have product, the eco and tech talk will for sure start by its own :-)

It would be nice if some experienced crypto investors illuminate the rest of us about what they think, how they value especially PTS/AGS, future DACs but also other altcoins that pop out all the time. Apparently this community has a lot of "geniuses" and it would be very nice to hear their thoughts about the market on a regular basis.

- Ehm, .. bitshares is not meant to be an altcoin, as it will *not* be a currency!
 - All theses recent altcoin basicaly have a few new features (i.e. multi-pool, anonymous sends,...) and most use POS already. Besides that, nothing new has appeared.
 - AGS do not 'have value' because you cannot (an will never be able to) sell them.
 - Personally, I don't give investment proposals! That's up to everybody to read and decide.

you should run netstat  after run bitshares_client.
what's the connect state to seed node: 107.170.30.182?
and you can run:

Code: [Select]

telnet 107.170.30.182 5678
test if you can connect  to the seed node.

If you can't telnet to the host, it's because of the network problem, you should add other node.
If you can telnet, but bitshares_client can't complete shaking hand with seed node, modify the souce code should work.

nc 107.170.30.182 5678
�t;AU��DҸ�l�7�

libraries/net/node.cpp, line 455, remove 3 lines:

Code: [Select]

//        if (local_endpoint.valid())
//          _message_connection.connect_to(remote_endpoint, *local_endpoint);
//        else


That's a no go on my side .. same thing :-( no connections

Considering the name looks up the key it could simply be:   ${name}-${KEY[0...4]}

yup .. nice idea

If your coins are in there you are safe

Try my node: network_add_node "113.80.228.217:5678" add

Same negative result. I am pretty sure there is some library fuckup :-(

Sometimes it is still hard to distinguish 1, l, |, I   etc. Is it possible to have the format like

JOHN-DEAN-3J4S
or
FLOWERS-563KT

Checksum will help a lot.

for checksum

checkout recent NXT development .. they are now using Reed-Solomon encoded addresses ... this allowes to *correct* errors!!
