I asked several times this option from NXT Community but seems that big players don't like it!

- sorry, what YOU did for Nxt community?

Let us not begin to create a caste system in Nxt.

Just being here and reading this thread is doing more for Nxt than 99.99999% of the world is doing right now 

1440+

I'm a user, having several assets issued, paying dividends and giving my feedback free of charge here!

And you can simply ignore it if you don't like them!

James is being too emotional and showing his immaturity.  He is costing NXT and SuperNet investors money because he is upset.  All of his investors are NXT investors also.  How is intentionally trying to suppress the price in anyone's best interest?

James is obviously too immature to handle this situation and the amount of money under his control.  I will never purchase an asset that is associated with James and if I hear anyone else thinking about purchasing any of his assets, I will strongly warn them against it.  James is only hurting himself with these hissy fits.  NXT will survive; James won't.

This is an absolute travesty coming from 2Kool4Skewl! James is exhausted from two years of constant effort, and he doesn't deserve to be called immature by the likes of you. What gives you the right to call anyone in crypto forums immature?  You've made yourself a humor troll, stick with the memes bro!

People are tired and stressed and that effects their decision making, but it's not fair to call anyone immature.

No matter what side you're on we should all show respect to Jean-Luc and jl777.

James is blackmailing NXT, dumping just to stamp his feet, and for what?  He could have fixed the problem. 

The truth is that James has been taking money from people for well over 1.5 years and delivered $#!+ all.  He makes asset after asset and promises people that if they buy, they will be rich, that his projects will have big returns.  In reality he acts like a little kid when it comes to an API code, blackmails people and dumps the price of NXT.  Does JL take lots of money from people making big promises to them?  No, he just codes solid code that actually works.  The differences between JL and James are night and day.  One deserves respect, and the other not.

I remember when James dumped a lot of nem stakes(claiming procedure) from his portfolio without consideration of any loses, no surprise at my end.

Maybe we should just play out this game of mutually assured destruction that he's started and anybody who holds his assets should dump them.  A lot more NXTers hold his "assets" than he holds NXT.  Let's push the button and see who survives.  Hint: It won't be James or Supernet.

Who would buy this dump? Also, aren't you screwing over the people you "dump" too? Fighting childish behavior with childish behavior isn't the answer.

This API stupidity and infighting is why I haven't bought NXT in quite a long time.

I thought my BTT nxttechnologytree.com thread had been deleted 

Just seems, after over a year of posting in altcoin "General discussion", it has recently been buried in the "Marketplace (Altcoins)" > "Service Announcement (Altcoins)" sub-sub-forum...  here

Strange how most other alts are permitted to post development updates in the general discussion section, huh..  It went from 16618 views to 17218 since Oct 26 (600 views in 2 weeks), which I was pleased with.

Is it worth trying to get it moved back?

Of course it is

I have changed the topic title to include the word 'discussion' lol, which is what it was always intended to be (a technical news/discussion thread about the core). But I guess he can argue it was just me posting updates as there was very little discussion in there!

So, before I PM mprep, can 6-7 of you go over and have a discussion or two??  I suggest the topic of 'Transparent Forging' (but not 'when is it being implemented?' as you should know it already has been)  Or any subject you like.

It's 2kool2skewl's trademark, he is here to entertain/annoy/make us think.

Wesley is still around

Some self-promotion to interrupt the never-ending discussion:

https://nxtforum.org/nxtinfo-org/spreadsheet-historic-dividends/msg199908/#msg199908
Added TVE and SecFund. We now have almost 200 dividend payouts recorded in our database. There are even more in the spreadsheet.

Check NXTinfo.org for more! 

Enough of the shameless self promotion!
Oh look, EIX is quite near the top.

Apparently you don't understand what he is complaining about. Yes, his response to the issue is childish... but his point is not wrong. This isn't the first time this happened, and the first time it happened the core devs said it wouldn't happen again.

The situation is a BIT more complex.

The last time this happened, ChuckOne was given the post of Project Manager, to make sure this didn't happen again.
That post has been vacant and Riker just stepped up to the post, before all this happened.

What we now have is a situation where were deadlocked.

What I see is a situation where most of the talk is about a move to the past, almost a prayer of "please, let's go back to the good old days".

I am not kidding: it does sound like that. And with reason, because we have two years of harmonious work together that is about to blow up in a way that's saddening.

From my position as mediator of what is now on the table, I am being approached by people who are asking us to "make the devs to a rollback". I'd like to have my say in this, too.

We cannot "make" anyone. That is not the role of a mediator, nor would I want to. It's against everything we have said as Foundation and TNNSE. Devs should be free to dev and we can only advise.

Yesterday there were some movements towards solving things towards the future. I was very glad to see it. Today, there is a movement towards the old positions again, likely because of resentment, panic and anger. None of these really help, although they are understandable.

My point it that in the end, we are in a situation that we can deal with by accepting it's not perfect with a commitment towards betterment, or we can go to our trenches and try to force the other party to surrender.

I predict that the latter action on both sides of the fence will result in many, many more losses than the former. We're rational beings and can decide to work for constructing something good.
I firmly believe that the stress is getting to us all and we want to hurt something, just to feel better. I also believe that is a path we should not take.

I am not asking for care bears. I am hoping that we can see we're in the bear trap and that chewing our foot off in not the smartest option.

Hi there.

Newbie to this forum.  Embedded and telecoms sw engineer, over 9 years experience C/C++, plus various other bits.  Also been a software tester.

I would like to comment on the following.

James is blackmailing NXT, dumping just to stamp his feet, and for what?  He could have fixed the problem. 

Assumption: Fixed the problem = fixing the code.

Fixing the code isn't the main issue (unless the codebase is especially messy).

- Testing the fixed code takes time (and if there are any unintended consequences to the fix then you go around the fix and test cycle again).
- Then you have to deploy the fixed code and again check for any issues (although having a testnet should minimise this).
- In amongst this you have to be supporting your customer base, whose deployments have been broken, this is quite a drag on getting any of the above done (answering angry emails, reassuring them that a fix is on the way, etc).
- Once full tested then you issue the fixed code to customers, with instructions on how to upgrade.
- For those customer who are less technically advanced, you then have to handhold them through deploying the fixed code.  It might even come down to remotely deploying it on their behalf.
- During this time you may become aware of issues with the customers system (incorrect configuration), you may also have to analyse and fix that as well in order to deploy the new code <-- worst case but possible.
- Also if you have customers with their own code added on then fixing this will also take a lot of time.

Interestingly, the more successful the product, the more live deployments you have, the bigger the headache.

All the time you are doing this means that you are not doing what you had planned to be doing (i.e. developing your own code, meeting the set deadlines).  Also it normally means you are fixing an issue created by a partner/thirdparty at you own expense.

Several times in my career I've worked on projects where you partner with other companies, using their API, and then they change it, and it breaks your code and therefore your customers code.

It tends to make developers cranky, because it's such a pain.  It can also cause you to rethink if you still want to partner with this company (especially if this becomes a habit), or maybe partner with someone else (also a pain because that will probably mean major changes to the codebase, or maybe there is no alternative to partner with so you just have to accept it and work out procedures to mange this when it occurs again).

So I can see why the api change will have upset developers that rely on the API.

Apologies - I don't mean to criticize anyone with the above.  I just wanted to point out that, yes, if we just had to fix the code then it wouldn't be a problem, but it is far more complicated than that when you are supporting a live customer userbase already.

Cheers

Dave
