As an "average" user, I cba about 1000TPS at this moment.
It´s a nice number I suppose, but the thing we marketed is basically "faster than BTC and doable for everyone".

If we can satisfy both of these with lower specs, I would be happy.

Of course there will be some sneering from people, but f*ck ´em if we still deliver the above and work from there.

I agree with this completely, but it´s hard to market without making false promises if it comes out at a later stage (ie. now) that some things require much more than was initially said.

This happens, and I am aware of that, but BOY, that can blow up in our faces.

I am glad that these things are being discussed, but from my POV I would be much happier if from this point we are much more careful with promising things we won´t be able to deliver by April.

We can of course say the potential is there, and work on thát. If 100 TPS is doable, do it. Don´t aim for something that will just collapse and do so much damage to our image.
If 50 TPS is more realistic, do thát. It´s still way better than te competition.

I fear that all the claims will boomerang mercilessly otherwise.

Edit: at the moment I don´t care about Mars or the Moon, but getting a working space elevator.

Edit 2: still positive, but want to get on with realistic things instead of having to make claims that turn out to have a sting for now.

Could you quit using other peoples problems to create the impression they are connected to you?

It's a despicable tactic.

Fight your own fights.

Also: nxtchg: i will genuinely be sad to see you go. It's a bad thing to receive a death threat and never warranted. Hoping you will reconsider but understand your reasoning. All the best, whatever you decide!

Anon,

If it's possible to team up with someone you feel comfortable with and who feels more at home talking to a live audience, I would say do that.
You could go with joefox for instance if he wants. He could fill in the gaps (he's an actor, so should be able to spot when you get "stuck" and get the ball rolling again).

You have a very good talent for translating the things that look obcure on paper to examples people can grasp. I liked your explanation of TF very much.

I would very much like you to consider doing it and I think you underestimate your presentation!

Also: working in a duo with someone you feel at home with is much more fun.

Nxt chocolate cookies!  

I've been in contact with wesleyh about this, because I am working on it, too.
At this moment he is building a new client, too, and giving that priority.
He was kind enough to give me access to his work and give me tips on how to go about.
My guy is currently testing and will report back once he is satisfied all is well and safe.
After that the plan is to make modules for all existing open source e-commerce platforms.

No ETA from my side yet, but I am hoping for a working model soonish (1-2 weeks). But that's just a wish on my part, I won't know for certain till I hear back from my developer.

Update on the bandwidth question: https://nextcoin.org/index.php/topic,3755.0.html

That's a good question, and it hasn't been answered yet. CfB will leave in two months. That is the window to decide that. I'd rather he worked in that time and the question will become more urgent and then answered as the time goes by.

His *new* currency is built on TOP of Nxt. Fancy you didn't know that.

It's a worrying trend you have: you ask some valid questions, but then turn out to have very limited knowledge. You make accusations based on half facts. If you are truly a professional, how would someone who contracts you react to that?
The facts are all publicly available, but at every point you seem to think you need to have these facts presented to you on a platter.

The argument "this thread is too long" really isn't valid. You could just read CfB's posts from his profile. That may take a few hours, but if you are truly as professional as you profess to be at some times, you could do this easily.

In a normal work environment your behaviour would be regarded as highly disruptive. Spreading panic based on half facts is silly.

Misrepresenting facts. Spinny, spinny spin!

"Bailing" is running away.

His contract ends. That's something different and it's good that we know this.

I'd rather hear it now than a week in advance.

Also, why do you care?

I admire someone who asks questions, even if it angers others. That's tough, especially if it's done in a community that has been close for a few months.
You get misunderstandings and sometimes people who you had fun with turn around and disagree.

I've seen this happen LOTS of times on any forum/community/job.

It's actually healthy and a sign of moving out of the too cozy feeling into admitting that not everything is always perfect.

So long as we accept that everyone is working to get Nxt further and also accept that not everyone agrees about the way to do that, it's all good.

I now feel a bit like Mary Poppins...

No hate to anyone from me

Deep breaths, enjoy some nice food, take a break or whatever helps you

You are doing good work.

That is what I am saying, Uni.

I'm trying to point out that HE is using YOUR words. Not the other way around.

I love these guys with their easy and transparent ways of driving wedges in communities.

Did you take out spin doctor course together with Fric? 

Yes, there are questions. So what? That's good!

The dirty trick you are employing is assigning motivations to Uniqueorn and actually *using* him without consent to further your obvious agenda.

That is quite low and would be a problem if it wasn't so blatantly obvious.

It's rather cute, actually.

I'm working on this with a developer.

CfB, can you at least confirm that this effort is not in vain? Don't need full details, but if I'm investing in this, I need to know that in two months it won't be absolutely useless because Nxt will have something different up it's sleeve.

Or is this basically a reference to Asset Exchange?

Maybe because developing implies making things better.

All a question of semantics

Edit: woo 1500!

It's also the fact that most people have the idea they can't change things and never learned how to.

Sure, there are some sheeple, but for the most part it's just normal people who never were exposed to the idea that taking responsibilty and working to make something happen actually can pay off (but is never garantueed!)

Welcome to the wonderful world of people and the associated irrationality 

It's perfectly normal behaviour.

I can fully understand why both Satoshi and BCNext went into anonymity

Yes.
I'm realistic enough that anything I say here to counter mass psychology is futile.
If CfB leaves, there probably be sóme effect on the price.

People will be people. Traders more so.  

Or he has his Nxt project. It's up to him, basically.
If Nxt can't stand on it's own feet, so much for decentrilisation.

In the meantime, start gathering BTC to spend on Nxt once the inevetable price drop when he leaves comes

What's so wrong with CfB eventually moving on?

We already know that he will leave in April.
In the end, people will need to take over anyway.

It's normal for people to want to create some sort of leader figure, but I think it's healthy to think for ourselves as much as possible.
