A post was split to a new topic: Ramp up FLOT operations instead of sudden start?
Hi @jooize
Here are the details for the Motion Vote on f99ddf406a32d39be7d614c13dc1ce63c96e4003:
##f99ddf406a32d39be7d614c13dc1ce63c96e4003
Blocks: 5077 (50.770000%)
Share Days: 1344682675 (29.219474%)
This, meaning JLās motion, has passed.
When all the motions to join FLOT pass there will be 8 signers. @erasmospunk mentioned for NBT or NSR the addresses are most ideally 3-of-5, although it seems possible (if rather tricky) to push to 4-of-6. Bitcoin allows up to 15-of-15 multisig so it can handle all of us.
For now I prefer 3-of-5 for NSR and NBT, and weāll need to form two overlapping groups. There will be 2 overlapping members, who should be the most available and perhaps the most anonymous. Given forum participation I think @masterofdisaster and @cryptog could be in both groups. In that case Iāll propose @dhume, @mhps and @ttutdxh to deal with NSR, where @woodstockmerkle, @jooize and myself would handle NBT.
First we should try to set up an NBT address to get started (at least for testing) and prepare for a takeover from FSRT. Iāll throw in my pubkey for a testnet address:
{
āisvalidā : true,
āaddressā : ābDWN25hetBu3efe7jcWBNaDdMFU38ZJ2siā,
āismineā : true,
āisscriptā : false,
āpubkeyā : ā03be3cc2a51715848833546898c57f3a2d83fd53274eb5c55c04d74615b57bf1bbā,
āiscompressedā : true,
āaccountā : āā

Your suggested team groups sound good to me.
Can I run two wallets simultaneously to separate FLOT from my private? I would at this time need nud for OS X. I own a Raspberry Pi 1, but need to get an SD card reader for installation. Is an RPi 1 sufficient or should I purchase the RPi 2?
I could install a distribution via a USB stick for the testing phase, and later set it up the way I want for production use. Is Peerbox suitable for this by the way?
I havenāt figured out all the details, but Iām confident I will. How do you intend your setup to be?
Is utilizing a VPS discouraged or out of the question? Availability should be higher, though rarely be a problem anyway (power outages, ISP issues). Theyāre convenient, but a point of trust of course.

You can run two wallets, the cost is that you need to store 2 copies of the blockchain. If itās just for signing etc. one should be able to strip away all the blockchain functionality from nud, which would be some work. By the way, if anyone else did a lightweight implementation of the relevant functionalities needed for multisig, please let me know.
I would personally discourage storing your private keys remotely. Weāll aim to put all signing functionality into one lightweight package so we wonāt need nud all the time. If anyoneās private key is compromised weāll move to a new multi-sig address, so thereās some robustness against e.g. losing your phone, but probably wonāt help if the keys are quietly stolen by the operators of your remote server.
If you mean for the test-net, you can do anything you want.

What about BTC?
All of 8 signers. Perhaps 5-of-8 would be the best.

Alright. Can I do testnet operations through the debug window?

If you are running on testnet then yes. Otherwise no.
I just found that running nu / nud on testnet creates an entirely separate datadir. So given enough RAM one can conceivably run separate instances on testnet and mainnet with little extra effort. My current machine doesnāt have the resources so Iāll rely on someone else to try it.
Sounds like an RPi 2 is a good idea for me. I want to use the one I own for other things anyway.
Iām taking this to extremes, but the physical access security of the Raspberry Pi would be lower than that of my MacBook.
Another benefit of multisig other than not trusting only one person is that even if my private key is stolen it should be tricky to impersonate me in trying to coordinate a nefarious signing with the rest of the team. That leaves attackers with needing to compromise all x in x-of-y required, and perhaps other vectors Iām not aware of.
Iāve managed to start Nu.app on testnet beside my main Nu wallet. The testnet Nu gets a purple icon.
Open Nu > Help > Debug window > Console and input:
getnewaddress
Or use the initial address found under Receive.
validateaddress <address>
My output:
{
"isvalid" : true,
"address" : "bXdMjZyW58arQ3VxzEYzvwDebr4onfjTUk",
"ismine" : true,
"isscript" : false,
"pubkey" : "02b7fb854452fbe3195fdb92e347ebefbc61b0893fe7719da385e009e3f434d4c5",
"iscompressed" : true,
"account" : ""
}
Appended:
Does anyone want instructions for how to do this on Windows and/or Linux?
Could we use Pushover to notify FLOT members when needed?

I need to start downloading the testnet blockchain as well. Will do it as soon as Iām back from my trip.
We need to assess the implications for privacy, but itās good to see that they support both Android and Apple devices!
It looks very promising!
I think a dedicated sub-forum here would be sufficient.
Having a notification to look into this dedicated subforum would be even betterā¦
You can mark a whole category as tracking and receive mail notifications. It will be very useful for FLOT members.
Letās create a first FLOT address for receiving NBT here. First we need to do some practicing on the testnet. @jooize is here and I will also be part of the NBT signers. I hope the first 3 to respond to this roll call can join the NBT signer group (also gimme your pubkeys): @mhps, @ttutdxh, @dhume, @woodstockmerkle, @cryptog, @masterOfDisaster. For @crypto_coiner, it may be worth more your time when your motion gets more support.
For the NBT group, please tell me if youāre working with Windows so I can adjust the scripts properly. Iāll make some changes so they can be configured a little more easily.

I have been working on this thing:
http://ttutdxh-nubits.github.io/cointoolkit/
However automatic loading of unspent inputs is not available because I have not found any public API in a NBT blockexplorer, so @dysconnect script (or manual work) is required for now to craft transactions.
Blockexplorer.nu could be added with https://blockexplorer.nu/api/addressDetails/+addr+/1/oldest, adding a Access-Control-Allow-Origin header to their API, but it is not in my hands.
The rest of the features seems to work correctly. Opinions welcome.
