I have no checks in there to prevent that, I would think that you will generate nodecoins from each instance. The way it is setup now, it doesnt matter as nobody gets these nodecoins until they bid for them. Once I do some serverside error checks, I could limit to once instance per computer. Just need a way to get a unique ID.

Now the source for nodeminer is only 500 lines, server side is about 1000 lines of code. I am pretty sure this is a record low number of lines for a coin. However there are no protections built in at all. Anybody can spoof it, that is why I didnt bother with tracking which accts are creating the nodecoins. Since all it takes is to let your acct forge NXT, there isnt much incentive to cheat. Once I create some CPU calculations needed for PoW, that should take care of most spoofing.

This whole process of using NXT for nodecoin is helping with the automated gateway design. Of course, for NXTcoins there is no need at all for any gateways, since they are creating within NXT. crypto people are comfortable with altcoins and mining, so I am leveraging that to convert them into NXT'ers. At the same time, I am coming up with ways to utilize the massive mining resource to do useful calculations. By useful, I mean financially valuable.

I only see a few people running nodeminer, someone's going to collect the 1000NXT bounty without much effort

P.S. I must be doing something right if emule is complaining about me
