To global mods,

there have been no updates posted in this whole forum section for the last two weeks and a half, while since then the client for instance has been updated several times. In the spanish section of the forum, and in others as well, local mods have fished from bitcointalk, or the forum in nxtcrypto, the updates posted and added them to tutorials in order to keep their sections up to date.

I can only talk for myself, but we appear to be volunteers, since no donation whatsoever trickled down here (I received a month ago 1,000 NXT from Drexme for the spanish translation of four sticky posts, but since then I have received zero contributions for the updates and support work moderating the spanish section, and also zero for many translations in the Wiki). I like contributing to the community and have placed my little bet for Nxt as well, but given the circumstances it sounds fair to simplify our job. The updates in this section (client, important announcements, new features) were helpful in order to update safely and easily the non-english crowd.

Thanks.

In a running client you can check https://localhost:7875/update.html

Client updates are announced at http://info.nxtcrypto.org/

For example see http://info.nxtcrypto.org/client-update-0-5-3/

Note that the entire description is a PGP signed message, including the download link and the sha256, signed with Jean-Luc's 0xFF2A19FA key. Once you obtained the key from a keyserver (using GnuPG in a terminal window it is

Code: [Select]

gpg --recv-keys 0xFF2A19FA) you can verify the text and hence the download link and sha256sum by following this procedure (on Linux):

In a terminal window invoke

Code: [Select]

gpg --verify that then waits for input from stdin.

In the browser window using the mouse select the entire text including the -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----  and -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- lines.

In the terminal window, using the middle mouse button paste the selected text, check that it is pasted like it looks on the webpage, then press Enter and Ctrl+D after which gpg should display

Code: [Select]

gpg: Signature made Wed 08 Jan 2014 12:09:11 PM CET using RSA key ID 3BF9ED80
gpg: Good signature from "Jean-Luc Picard (Lead Developer of The Nxt Generation) <[email protected] >"
gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature!
gpg:          There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner.
Primary key fingerprint: B88D C0A6 2ECD DDD1 643A  28FD CEF1 F4A9 FF2A 19FA
     Subkey fingerprint: 3690 CF32 519B 2A88 DF20  23C2 53A1 C977 3BF9 ED80
The warning is ok because there is no trust chain, no one signed the key.

Note that the X primary selection and middle mouse button is used to paste the webpage's content, instead of using the clipboard which would likely mess around with the line feeds and invalidate the signature.

If the message verified you can download the update (or use the Download button in your running client's https://localhost:7875/update.html) and then check the content with the just verified sha256 sum:

Code: [Select]

sha256sum nxt-client-0.5.3.zip && echo 23fc36fba166e00299003407169a26515e6d67c8094b5a06f9c795cc62ca83a7where both sums must be equal.
