Note: When doing dividend payments, make sure to copy the log (from both stages) into a text editor/excel sheet to review. If you see any problems, send me the log. Thanks.
Release version 1.1:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/pfkeq7af9c8taby/ui_v11.rar (depreciated, see above)
Recommended to use the standard NRS client (1-click installer not yet supported) Instructions: Merge the ui directory with the one from the client download (this only ends up replacing index.html and adding one javascript file.)
Note to MGW users: Unfortunately this and MGW won't work at the same time. You have to use a different directory or swap in or out Longzai's index.html with this index.html.
If you have installed correctly, you should see NxtServices>Dividends+ in the side menu. Clicking on this gives the options of Dividends or Automatic Asset Distribution. Both are a two step process. Click on calculate and the results box will outline what the plugin intends to do (Password not needed for this section, you don't even have to own the assets). Click on Activate to send out the Nxt or Assets. Record the results of the calculate stage, because the results aren't always reported for the activate stage.
The dividend calculation can take 10/15mins for assets with lots of assetholders.
Before actually sending dividends, check that the output from the calculation is correct. For sending, you could first try it out on less serious assets (I bought a few fake litecoin assets (9545582885005657403) and used those to test it.)
Please post bugs in this thread as well as successful dividend payments.
ToDo list:
1.
Allow dividend payments in assets.2.
Implement timestamp feature.3. Try and speed up dividend calculation.
4.
Improve result reporting. (At the moment, final report is only a list of TXs; should report Nxt rather than quant)5.
Include loading bar for dividend calculation.6.
Include option to allow some accounts to be excluded from dividend payments.7. For Automatic Asset Distribution, include option to pay out Nxt, and allow paying out of variable amounts.
8. Test and get working well on 1-click installer.
Note: This new release doesn't use any 3rd party software just interfaces with the core (It doesn't use the old NxtServices dividend script).
