1. Select local running NRS

2. select NRS node manually by IP or address

3. Select NRS node random



If I understand correctly, to use Freemarket local NRS must be running. For Nxters there is no big problem, but for people outside NXT it could be problem.



I played a bit as well, and your first two questions are already possible.



1. Download YIU version from their website, it only contains the freemarket and not NRS itself.

2. In the YIU version you downloaded there is a "conf" folder, create a file called "freemarket.properties" and enter your preferred node in there:

blackyblack.nrsHost=localhost

(see freemarket-default.properties for default values)

I don't know how freemarket works with secret phrases, so I would advice to check with them before using a node on a open network.

3. Well, you can manually select a random node from peerexplorer.com and enter it to the file above before booting up I guess



Ahh, OK. I can do that. What about simple Joe? Think option 3 is for simple Joe



Using the online version of FreeMarket (fmlite) is one option, but for some people, this will not be an acceptable alternative, since how do they know they aren't being logged?Another option is to have the desktop version of FreeMarket use an online NRS. This raises a couple issues - you still have to worry about being logged, and also have to worry about the integrity of your passphrase. Perhaps there is a way to work around that second issue; I have heard "local signing" mentioned as a solution, but I have not looked into it yet. Integration with TOR may or may not take care of the first issue.A third option is for FreeMarket to include NRS, download the blockchain, and run it, all seamlessly from the user's perspective. Add in a few new features in FreeMarket (like creating a new account, and messaging), and you should be able to do everything you need to do without knowing a thing about NXT. SuperNET is supposed to offer this user experience. Maybe we should be looking at doing it ourselves, within the stand alone version of FreeMarket, too.
