First Store Accepting Nimiq with WordPress!

The Nimiq WooCommerce plugin was added today to the WordPress Plugin Registry and an E-commerce Store is already using it, accepting NIM in their WordPress-based store.

That was fast!

Nimiq welcomes carniumbotanicals.it to a growing ecosystem.

Want to join? Check: https://github.com/nimiq/woocommerce-gateway-nimiq/releases



Nimiq answer FUDDERS
Giving them the attention they deserve




What is this all about?
Nimiq is the first browser blockchain.
That means apps based on Nimiq can run directly in the browser of the user, locally, without the need of a server-side application.

Since its launch, this have been an informative/discussion thread for Nimiq-related topics.
In January these group of users were created with the sole purpose of spreading FUD in this thread:

nimiqshitcoin, coinfanatic, andrewjaxx, john.btc, sasha.new, Scamiq, Scamiq2, matthewgpu

As you might have noticed they always use unnecessarily aggressive language, huge red bold fonts and empty claims instead of serious questions.

Team Nimiq have answered here their non-factual claims. Also held a live Reddit AMA session recently where all questions were answered.
There is also a blog post with a  summary of the AMA.

Nimiq welcome all newcomers, invite them to ask questions, and would like to apologize for these users behavior and any inconvenience they might cause.

In addition to its own efforts, Nimiq is sponsoring blockchain research at Stanford University’s Applied Cryptography Group under Dan Boneh (since August 2018) and a PhD position at Imperial College’s Centre for Cryptocurrency Research and Engineering under Arthur Gervais (since October 2017). Most recently Nimiq sponsored the 1st International Summer School on Security & Privacy for Blockchains and Distributed Ledger Technologies, a program jointly organized by members of the Technical University of Vienna (TU Wien) and Princeton University.

So in other words, you need to give them money for them to work with you.
Pathetic, like paying a prostitute because you can't get it free. Haha

Weak sauce Richy boy, weak sauce.

Don't you dare censor this.

If we get censored on bitcointalk, I will start a reddit channel and post on 4chan exposing the shit of nimiq, weg ghost bank (btw: no more Agora bank??? no more agora ico???), and tokenpay.

Please do! They will see through your BS and find a great project: Nimiq

Share the links here when you do so all your alt users can know about it  Roll Eyes

FYI: Thanks for the "warning" but we don't need to hide anything so this thread is public. Only moderators can censor you.

No one in the corporate world is going to take this kiddie icons seriously.

You're all a bunch of stupid moonkids. Except nimiqshitcoin, thanks to him I learned how insecure their identicons are.

You are welcome! There are many more stuff compromised to enable the "magic" of browser blockchain. For instance, 90%+ of miners are using the nano/pico consensus which means they can get trickered if an attacker is making a fork with K (where k is the security constant of the last k blocks verified). If an attacker is making a 50%+1 attack of the network for K blocks, all pico/nano miners which are most, will get compromised also. I don't remember exactly the value of K, but I remember it was 120 blocks (like 2 hours). Making 50%+1 for 2 hours and you own the ENTIRE network unless they do a hard fork to reject the new Account Tree with new balances. Look. Nimiq nazi, we are not that stupid at all. I have lost money investing into this shitcoin, I had to do my homework

Today you already FUDed about:

- Identicons (without proving a point).
- JS Vulnerabilities (without proving a point).
- Partnerships (without proving a point).

Now you are trying to FUD about miners Grin

- Not true that 90%+ of miners are using the nano/pico consensus. These are consensus mechanisms used by Browser Clients, not by miners.
- "If an attacker is making a 50%+1...." This is just FUD and assumptions. C'mon, are you running out of fake material? Cheesy.
- "Nimiq Nazi"... Wow that is just plain Xenophobic and wrong... I'm not going to comment more on that...
 
Look.

- If you don't trust Nimiq and "feel like you need to tell others why" here is the link to Nimiq Bug Bounty Program. Send your bug reports and cash out the money. Over $20'000 if really found something.
- If you don't like Nimiq stop wasting your time commenting here.
- If you do care for Nimiq keep FUDing and SPAMMING since you are giving us the most precious thing in your life: Your Time.

Anyways we will keep Building the easiest to use cryptocurrency.

Plain and simple.

I will add that Nimiq team is not capable of generating its own partnerships.
All Nimiq's existing partnerships were formed by outside parties coming to them. In that way Nimiq is like a freeloader that accepts free shit from other people, but is incapable of providing enough value to initiate partnerships it desires itself. To be clear, this means that all existing exchanges which Nimiq is on was a result of the exchange coming to Nimiq, but if Nimiq initiates the contact with an exchange e.g. Bittrex, the exchange is not interested since Nimiq is not bringing much value to the table itself. I hope I make myself clear.

Everything you say is not true and can be debated easily  Cool

- What about Bidali? Contacted by us.
- What about Changelly? Contacted by us.
- What about ChangeHero? Contacted by us.
- What about KuCoin? If you think they reached us to list NIM... then that's a compliment and an honor. But to be honest we contacted them.
- And TrustWallet? Contacted by NIMIQ COMMUNITY


You see... Team Nimiq is not only capable of reaching new partners and have done so already... but NIMIQ COMMUNITY is also reaching new partners because we have a great community of developers supporting us. Join Telegram and discuss with us in person instead of spamming here  Wink

Trinkler software just a shitty startup company with only 3 people.

WEG bank a tiny regional bank in Bavaria.

Imperial College because Gervais did some work for you pre-ICO and then you used the ICO money to fund his postdoc. Just using each other, is no real collaboration.

Oh yeah, looks like Gervais is behind Liquidity Network. So not an independent point.

- Trinkler Software, together with Nimiq, published what could be the highest performance consensus algorithm in the blockchain space. If you have any comments about our collaboration with them then share it (Here is the technical paper), but trying to guess the amount of people in a software company is barely an opinion. It is FUD  Grin 
- WEG Bank is the Bank that was chosen by Lisk to create an Enterprise account. Doesn't sound that tiny.
- You (a SPAMMER with no credibility, proofs or publicly shared work) are trashing the name of PhD Arthur Gervais who has been publishing technical papers on blockchain technology before Nimiq even started as a project. Nimiq OF COURSE did not fund his PhD, that is just ludacris. It is amazing how you think people would pay attention to you considering you don't even share a github repository to see wht do you do and why your opinion is informed.
- Liquidity.network is a separate project that might be integrated into Nimiq. Ever heard of Lightning Network? It is similar.
- You really think Stanford University’s Applied Cryptography Group and Imperial College’s Centre for Cryptocurrency Research and Engineering would collaborate with a project if there is no real engineering!? You clearly haven't step a foot in an University, let alone in one of such prestige as the fine institutions we are collaborating with.

- Bidali a Canadian Crypto Payment Processor
- KuCoin Exchange
- TrustWallet the official wallet of Binance

45 fucking minutes to get something that doesn't even look like the original. Your stupid identicon can be cracked in 2 minutes on an average computer. IDENTICAL IDENTICON. If we make some tweaks to avoid some similar colors, you can crack the nimiq identicon in 1 sec on a normal computer.

Nimiq has never claimed that identicons have 160-bit security and replace addresses. They exist to help identify your own accounts and defend against clipboard hijacking, that's it.

You said you were going to submit a serious vulnerability report to HackerOne. Do that, post the link and stop spamming, talking non-sense and insulting people.

I asked you before why you think this is a vulnerability and you didn't answer.

Why would I want to generate a similar identicon of the sender (original) identicon? What is your point here ignorant FUDDER?  Grin

This is simply not true and shows you have no idea about what you are talking about. You are just embarrassing yourself at this point.
- Nimiq is completely client-side and non-custodial so your information (encrypted keys) are stored only in your device, like MyEtherWallet does. Do you also have a problem with them?
- Users have multiple ways to interact with the Blockchain, Nimiq Safe is just one option provided by Team Nimiq. If you are concerned about security you can always run a Nimiq Full Node, it's very easy with Docker.
- The minimum character count on Nimiq passwords is 8, not 6. There are numerous client-side checks done on the password to help the user be secure (like avoiding 12345678 and such).
- Users are welcome to choose a longer password but for usability-sake 8 characters safe enough considering the file encrypted by the password is only stored in your device.

I think you must be stupid. I quote again what I fucking said.

So much buzz here about this shitcoin. The beauty of this shitcoin is that they can install at any given time a honeypot js script (1 line of code) to sniff all private keys used in browser by users and crack them in a few minutes as the password is really weak ( 6 letters ) by default. What a fucking joke. This is exactly how you would make a blockchain insecure, just like Nimiq.

Regarding your stupid identicons, anybody can crack your identicon making an identical clone in 2 minutes. I proved it with real numbers. so your security is fucked up. I think I can get you. You smoked to much crack.
Let's crack.

Please go ahead and try to "crack" Nimiq. There is a Bug Bounty Program managed by HackerOne where anyone that finds a real vulnerability can cash out up to $20'000. We encourage all serious programmers and researchers to join  Cool

Do I get a bounty for my vulnerability report, that in 2 minutes you can vanity generate any identicon ? This would not be possible with Ethereum identicons. I guess you are just ignorant and don't care about these, as you are just promoting the shitcoin to get some quick buck.

The way it works is you Send it to HackerOne and let them decide. They are an unbiased external Bug Bounty and Vulnerability Validation company trusted by more than 1'000 software companies like Ethereum, Monero and GitHub.

Post the link to the vulnerability report here and until then stop spamming about something that is really not a vulnerability.

FYI If you consider Ethereum and identicons check this blog post.

That means there are 10 * 9 * 8 * 21⁴ = 140,026,320 different identicons that can be generated, so Nimiq is capable of generating more than 100 million highly differentiated and instantly recognizable identicons. This protect users against malware and clipboard hijacking.


Yeah sure. It takes 5 minutes to do a full vanity search of 140,026,320 taking into considerations all possible colors and body parts. So, any "hacker" can generate an identical (identical!!!) identicon in a few minutes.

On bitcoin, a Core i7-4702MQ 2.2GHz (very old cpu), it scan (CPU only) 1.10 mkey/s. So, it would take 2 minutes to generate an identical identicon.

So your identicons really really suck breaching its security than any other solution.

Your FUD is just a joke at this point. Identicons are a way to visualize addresses and provide an extra layer of protection to users. The address is derived using BIP44 which is a standard among cryptocurrencies. You are clearly trying to confuse address derivation with identicon generation.

According to you, this is the vulnerability.

1- Hacker has to guess who I am going to send NIM to. Nimiq Identicon Protection  Cool
2- Hacker tries to find an identicon that looks the same as the recipient he had to guess before. And hopes that's the one recipient I actually use. Nimiq Identicon Protection  Cool
3- Hacker infects my device with clipboard hijacking. All cryptocurrencies are vulnerable
4- Hacker executes clipboard hijacking and hopes I don't check the address. All cryptocurrencies are vulnerable


When compared to other cryptocurrencies (like Bitcoin or Ethereum), Nimiq provide steps from 1 and 2 as an extra layer of protection without adding complexity to the user. After that Nimiq is just like another cryptocurrency.

So your point is either:

- Nimiq provides more security to users than other cryptocurrencies  Smiley
- You have a feud against all cryptocurrencies  Huh
- You have a feud with Nimiq and are just making up BS to confuse users  Roll Eyes

Definitely, you must be smoking pot in Costa Rica. Your identicon is making it less secure to the user. Simple because it takes only 2 minutes to generate an identical identicon. A hacker if he knows the original address/identicon  he can generate an identical (100% identical fake address) in less than 2 minutes (number proved above). Your clipboard protection using this identicon is way less secure than in Ethereum. For ethereum to make an identical identicon would take years and to make one similar would take days or weeks, while in nimiq generating a fake identicon (identical) it takes 2 minutes.

Identicons are used as a protection when you send NIM to somebody else. To successfully hack someone you need to guess to whom that person is going to send NIM, generate a similar Identicon and try to change it via clipboard hijacking.

Why would I want to generate a similar identicon of the sender (original) identicon? What is your point here ignorant FUDDER?  Grin

Hi!

The purpose is payments. Try it our here and you'll see is the easiest payment experience while at the same time enabling you to connect directly to the blockchain network from your browser, running a Nimiq node.

You are just lying. Running a Nimiq pico/nano node. Not a full node.

Show me the one who wants to connect to something from their browser, and Ill spit in that dumbass' face. Hey everyone behold my virtual power, bla bla I can connect to somewhere from my browser yay Im the embodiment of universal power and absolution. I connected!

Nothing to see here people. This is just a blockchain designed by kids, for kids.
Look how childish the avatars are.

Yes! This is how Nimiq Identicons look:



There is a reason why they are so cheerful and different between each other. You can try them out here.

Each Nimiq Identicon has five different elements, bottoms, faces, sides, tops body, and background color. Each element has a distinctive color. In total, identicons are made up of a combination of:

  • 21 bottoms
  • 21 faces
  • 21 sides
  • 21 tops
  • 8 colors for parts
  • 9 body colors
  • 10 background colors

That means there are 10 * 9 * 8 * 21⁴ = 140,026,320 different identicons that can be generated, so Nimiq is capable of generating more than 100 million highly differentiated and instantly recognizable identicons. This protect users against malware and clipboard hijacking.

If a Nimiq user is subject to a clipboard hijacking attack and the malware replaces the Nimiq address on the clipboard with an account address controlled by the attacker, then the user will paste this fraudulent address into the send field and the receiving addresses identicon will be shown instantly. If you are sending NIM to a friend and you see an identicon different from their usual one, then you instantly know that someone has launched a clipboard hijacking attack against you.

Nimiq is not the only blockchain with itenticons. This how Ethereum's identicons look:



Not so nice and easy to identify.

I imagine people thought the same when Web Mail (AOL, Hotmail, Gmail) came out and they were still using local Email Clients. Or when people first saw Wikipedia... why do you need that if you already have Encarta  Wink

I appreciate your honest (and a bit aggressive) opinion. Everybody is entitled to their opinion and if you search opinions about WebApps I think you can find a lot about their potential in the future. If you actually think about it, how many of the apps that you use daily are Web Apps (or are based in a Web App already) like Wikipedia, Google, Spotify, Youtube, Gmail, etc.

Now let me ask you something. Can you think of any popular app that has no WebApp and works only as a Native App?  Smiley

I heard about NIMQ partnership with WEG BANK: https://www.coindesk.com/a-small-bank-in-germany-is-now-nearly-30-owned-by-crypto-companies
I see LISK is involved too,
I would like to ask if  there is any direct cooperation between  LISK and NIMQ or there are  just separate partnerships?..

Regarding the relationship between Nimiq, LISK and WEG Bank:

- Nimiq owns stake in WEG bank. Lisk created an enterprise account in the same bank
- Nimiq and Lisk are both based in JavaScript (although a new high performance implementation of Nimiq in Rust is also being tested right now)
- Lisk focuses on Smart Contracts for Companies, allowing them to spin up their own Blockchain. Nimiq focuses only on payments
- Team Nimiq is a personal acquaintance of Lisk's Latin American Manager, that's the reason of this blog post.

In summary: there are indeed some similarities and synergies between Nimiq and Lisk. Right now there is no specific cooperation announced other than brainstorming possible ways to collaborate.

Direct cooperation between Lisk and Nimiq would be amazing!

I have found Lisk CentralAmerica blog  - https://medium.com/liskcentralamerica/innovation-finds-a-home-at-the-beach-31c896108f8c

Nimiq seems to be too shady for me and I hope it won't cooparate with Lisk as I have significant amount of money invested (wasted :|) in LISK
There was too much doubt spread here in this topic about Nimq - and I can't find any reliable explanation unfortunatelly

The doubt and trolling is spread by one single user with alts, don't be fooled by that.

Nano Nodes are the preferred node type for Browser Clients, since they require less data to be downloaded (~ 2MB) in order to establish consensus.

Similar to light nodes, they determine the current state of the blockchain using NIPoPoW, but then only download block headers and the minimal amount of information related to its own accounts. Once the correct state has been worked out, i.e. consensus established, account balances can be cryptographically proven to this type of node.

Pico Nodes
Similar to the Nano Node, the Pico Node uses the Accounts Tree and account proofs. But instead of syncing block headers using NiPoPoW, it will first test if all its peers are on the same head hash (or a neighboring hash) and, if that is the case, it will accept that head as the correct one. This is also referred to as an optimistic approach. Only if it receives incompatible head hashes will it fall back on the nano consensus.

The pico consensus is the latest development and is expected to replace the nano consensus as new default as soon as it’s fully established.

Greetings. And what is the main purpose of the platform? Curious to know more about it

Hi!

The purpose is payments. Try it our here and you'll see is the easiest payment experience while at the same time enabling you to connect directly to the blockchain network from your browser, running a Nimiq node.

this project is so dead. where is the new design in q2??

Just in case you missed the big announcement above your text (you probably did see and are just FUDing as usual)



Major Update to Nimiq

Nimiq just got better, with the biggest release since main net launch. Create an account in under 30 seconds, multiple addresses, Login Files, a new API, and much more!
Try it here and let us know what you think.

Learn more about it in this blog post.




Nimiq answer FUDDERS
Giving them the attention they deserve




What is this all about?
Nimiq is the first browser blockchain.
That means apps based on Nimiq can run directly in the browser of the user, locally, without the need of a server-side application.

Since its launch, this have been an informative/discussion thread for Nimiq-related topics.
In January these group of users were created with the sole purpose of spreading FUD in this thread:

nimiqshitcoin, coinfanatic, andrewjaxx, john.btc, sasha.new, Scamiq, Scamiq2, matthewgpu

As you might have noticed they always use unnecessarily aggressive language, huge red bold fonts and empty claims instead of serious questions.

Team Nimiq have answered here their non-factual claims. Also held a live Reddit AMA session recently where all questions were answered.
There is also a blog post with a  summary of the AMA.

Nimiq welcome all newcomers, invite them to ask questions, and would like to apologize for these users behavior and any inconvenience they might cause.
