Great app! Please add the option to add the artist and title of the work to the desktop somewhere in the corner, perhaps even with a link, so that we may learn a little about the work itself also.

Edit : I see you already do this in the menubar. :)

I've got an old red hat somewhere, without yum and apt-get, what can I do to update bash on there? (RHEL3).
Re:Canon printer hacked to run Doom on Monday September 15, 2014 @09:15AM (#8318567)
I'd like someone to make custom firmware to stop these new canon pixma's from cleaning themselves at every start, and generally taking minutes before even starting to print. It's ludicrous.
Are group chats also encrypted? (The problem with jabber right now)

Where can i learn more about this cryptocurrency and where is the github repo? thx

The NXT cryptocurrency team is looking for developers experienced in Java. (NXT is built from scratch in java, it's not a clone coin).

Experience with blockchain technologies is a plus.

Register at http://nxtforum.org and introduce yourself.

Payment is done via bounties in the beginning (for work completed), but can later be changed to payment on a monthly basis.

Very nice, does anyone know if they'll ever accept anything other than bitcoin? Altcoins like NXT etc?
Re:Ask HN: What projects are you working on? on Saturday June 28, 2014 @01:04PM (#7958669)
Nxt cryptocurrency built in java, with decentralized asset exchange and digital goods store.

Re:Show HN: Dead simple Bitcoin payroll on Thursday June 19, 2014 @01:10PM (#7917145)
Any chance of adding other coins, such as Nxt?

yes, what's your email address?
Anyone know of an open source website builder similar to this? (that can be run locally)
Re:Cryptostocks on Tuesday May 27, 2014 @03:07AM (#7803274)
Well, you can always use a decentralized stock market, like Nxt has;

You can see some asset charts on http://www.cryptoassetcharts.info

or http://nextblocks.info

Can't be shut down.

What happens to group chats? as far as I know encrypted group chat is still not supported yet?
Re:Chain, the Blockchain API for developers on Saturday May 17, 2014 @05:35AM (#7759700)
Would love if you guys added Nxt to this, it's completely different from bitcoind (it's based on java and a completely new codebase). If we had an API that would work across completely different systems, it would add great value.

Re:Is Bitcoin the Future of Money? on Tuesday May 06, 2014 @07:01AM (#7703689)
Proof of work will not succeed in the long run. I think we'll be moving to a proof of stake currency instead.

Examples are peercoin and Nxt.

Re:NxtCoin (a.k.a Bitcoin 2.0) 1.0.0 is out on Monday April 28, 2014 @12:21PM (#7660938)
Something like that yes :)

Automated transactions are also in development, similar to what Ethereum is trying to do.

Re:NxtCoin (a.k.a Bitcoin 2.0) 1.0.0 is out on Monday April 28, 2014 @11:32AM (#7660609)
This crypto currency has "2.0" features like a decentralized asset store, arbitrary messaging, and so on.

It's also proof of stake instead of proof of work.

Seems the link above doesn't explain the currency very well.

You can read more at http://mynxt.org or http://nxt.org

but any good one?
Re:Ethereum on Saturday March 29, 2014 @01:55PM (#7493136)
You may also want to check out http://nxtcrypto.org which is also working on turing complete functionality. They're working on a decentralized exchange at the moment, testable at http://nxtra.org/nxt-client

They do not have the marketing skills of ethereum tho..

You may be interested in knowing that someone is working on rebuilding the DataHand, you can follow his progress here:

Can't seem to find the setting to disable dns redirection, can you tell me where to look?

Edit: OK, found it - free users need to go to advanced settings > domain typos and disable that.

Re:Coinbase Raises $25 Million From Andreessen Horowitz on Thursday December 12, 2013 @06:04AM (#6893824)
I believe there is an alt-coin named "devcoin" that has similar intentions as you do (but they obviously pay in their own alt-coin)

Is there an online service to check your email address is in there? I didn't get an email from them (perhaps it got stuck in my spam folder that gets auto-deleted weekly), but my credit card got hacked soon after.
