It's probably because the domain nascoin.org no longer is in the control of the author. NAS used to get nodes from there anyway and I couldn't find any before adding some manually.
You can add a couple of nodes yourself by reading them from
tikers public node and appending them to the file /conf/
nas-default.properties.
The line to edit begins with "nas.wellKnownPeers=" and should look something like this when you're done:
nas.wellKnownPeers=patapato.ddns.net;cb2.flipflop.mooo.com;funkyvps3.funkymonkey.org
Edit: Should we pack a zip with the 1.1.3N1 and a config with tiker's node in it or will the exchanges only trust a long gone dev? Or should we let it die?
BTC38 has a very interesting take on all this IMO. (They also have a very interesting limit on the length of the messages you can write so you kinda try to cook it down to the bare minimum of what you want to say and how.)
Me: When will NAS change status from "PAUSE"?
小雨: Dear user, NAS wallet have a problem which need NAS team to fix it. Sorry for the trouble, we'll enable deposit and withdrawal after NAS wallet working normal.
Me: It's true. Since nascoin.org is gone you won't be able to use the client without first specifying a node, like one from the "peers" list in tiker's public node.
小雨: Sorry!NAS wallet have a problem , need NAS team to fix it.
Me: There is no NAS dev team, the founder left a year ago. Please post your problems and/or read the solution at
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=523187.msg12733811#msg12733811 or halt trading.
小梅: Sorry, we cant halt trading for this problem, since there are several coin have no Dev team maintenance.
Me: You can't open for withdrawals if you don't use the solutions available and there's no dev team. That means that your users is getting scammed as they won't ever be able to withdraw *their* coins.
小雨: Dear user, NAS deposit and withdrwal was disabled, our user can sell or buy it freely.
So... they need a team that doesn't exist to fix a chain that's not broken so that people won't stop buying coins they'll never be able to withdraw? If the coins can't ever be used or transferred, is it anything more than a straight up online casino with a boring interface?
