Yes, it works with Java8, mine is working with jre1.8.0_31.
@lcharles123, send me your account ID and I will send you 20 NXT for testing the blockchain and the network.
I also think that the port should be different than the one of NXT ... but it was the developer, he diappeared ... I think it was on his TODO list, because the README file and other files are also not changed from NXT.
You mean 20 NAS?

I'm running on jre1.8.0_25 myself, haven't updated to _31 yet.
I'll see if I can find a script or write one to output the "richlist" for the NAS accounts. I don't even have an account with published public key since I only found NAS about 2 months ago.
