@DE: you notice the words 'for a while' in my post ? And: do not invest in anything (except Bitcoin) for a while....do lots of research first. Don't want to scare you off, but crypto is still the Wild West, and there are some bad guys around. You have to protect yourself. No-one else will.  'For a while'......my advice was to wait and do some research, not to only invest in Bitcoin. Bitcoin is still the gateway into crypto, and a fairly reliable short term investment. I'm giving unbiased advice there, to take some time to do research before he jumps into any alt-coin, even to NXT. People need to start somewhere, and the more people using any kind of crypto, the better. Just means more NXT users in the long term..........  So, you jumped on me for one tiny point, and blew it up into something completely distorted, for no frigging reason. For the rest: Yeah, we gave the job for the www.nxt.org site to Farla for several reasons, including, but not limited to : He's a pro, and should give good results. He'll take payment in NXT for 80%..... No-one else in the community stepped up to do it, and we need a better site pronto. Lastly, on Lee: we've worked with him for a long time, as you say. He's not a scammer, imho. I've searched long and hard far any dirt on him, and all I could find is one person (possibly trolling him) from a long time ago. If you have evidence of Lee's scamminess, let's see it. All I see from Lee is lots of useful business connections, all of whom regard Lee as a mostly trustworthy guy. He did balls up TXTCoinsNow, though. I think you're just trying to have a go at the Nxt community in general, as a result of your ban from www.nxtforum.org. Don't get why you chose me in particular, but, hey, feel free. BTW: could you change the title to read something like: 'NXT Foundation/Tennessee is a Joke' or 'EvilDave has a magnificent cock' ? The Nxt marketing committee hasn't existed for over a year now, and I was never a member (Damelon was, though). I'm curious. What were the allegations on Lee? And what's his association with Brian Kelly? |

I saw a guy here with the same name 2 years ago... So not sure if DE is really 2K4S.
Edit: It's probably him.

Let's just move on.

Enough words. Just follow Brian Kelly and do some research on him and Nautiluscoin. He could be another 'John' for all we know.
Edit: But if something bad happens, or it fails, it's on Tennessee too. It's only fair.
Yeah, BK could be anything, but he's got enough of a rep to be on CNBC, runs a reputable investment fund, and has access to enough cash to underwrite the Agistri/Nautilus project, so I'm going to take him at face value. (and, yeah, if something bad and Tennessee-related happens, it's on me. But there is a hell of a lot more to the Nxt/SuperNET ecosystem than just Tennessee) BTW; sockpuppet, moi ? TheNoticer has precisely sod-all to do with me. I have enough trouble finding time to post here under my own handle, so no socks for me. @barabass: nice to see showing such concern for the health of Nxt, mate. I get the feeling that nothing I can say will make any difference to you, so.....meh. Can't please all the people all the time. Did you like my lazy truck driver in a Lambo routine, at least ? (thanks, btcsatan)The people appearing on CNBC are the most dangerous kind. Remember, even that John guy appeared in Payment Expo. And there's no correlation between appearing on CNBC and success. It's a wait and see scenario. But I wouldn't hate to be proven wrong in this case. |

Huh... You mad bro? Ahh i see, you are salty about me calling you out for commenting your bullshit on nearly every topic on this forum like you are some type of superuser with a super opinion, who is autocool cause you have weed in your name and a pic of the dude. Lol. Keep on trucking, some of us dont need to wear our opinion on our arm to feel good about ourselves and sleep well at night. I was kidding. And I don't give a shit where you've been. Hardly dave my friend, I was at the emerald cup all weekend sampling some of the finest in cali. Not 1 person gave two shits about crypto there. Just who had the best dabs. The best idea so far from Tennessee is the help desk.
Great concept!
As far as the other armchair quarterbacks in this thread, opinions are like assholes except these guys got two. De, toke, & bar stop talking out of your mouth hole, its hard to take your opinions seriously.
And de, dude you have gone senile in the past few months. Your complaints add 0 to any crypto conversation.
Let me sum up de , " i dont like this , i dont like that, i didnt invest in that -but have an opinion, im not a doctor but i play one on tv, blah blah blah, my opinions are SO important. Here look at me, look at me, im having original thoughts.
Just start the de two minutes of hate thread so all your bullshit is in one place.
But also don't forget to get your ass checked for pollups, thats what happens when you shit negativity for so long.
Whatever Dave.  |

I won't argue with you on this one. But hopefully all my doubts will be proven wrong.

And has the software undergone a peer review? All those features added in such a short time, with no review makes it doubtfully robust and bug free.

I think it's time for the NXT community to realize that they're being had. Or are the people at the top of their heirarchy all part of the whole scheme... I mean how could those known characters allow this?
I'd be careful with NXT. I am now not ruling out that this could be one long con job.
Also a guy from my trading group mentioned there was a 'John' character who showed up at conferences promoting NXT and ended up stealing community funds. And not only that, he was asking for the community to give him more as payment for his work. Which the community didn't agree to because they realized they were already swindled in the first place.
Be careful. So sorry to see this happen to a project with a good following.
Edit: There's a good reason they banned you DE. The corruption could be traced all the way to the top.

This is getting to shady land. EvilDave and Damelon to support Nautiluscoin projectAt the end of an eventful weekend, we would like to end on a more positive note. Dave and I have been contracted by Brian Kelly to help bootstrap the Nautiluscoin community after its move to the NXT blockchain. You can see Brian's official announcement of this here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzYVg_T_1PyvWFFMYjM1SjZtSTQ/viewWe are happy to be able to do more work on a NXT project and are glad that we've gotten a good rapport with Brian Kelly. Who knows what more can grow out of this? We think there are opportunities for both communities here and will do our best to help it grow into a valuable addition to the NXT ecosystem  Again, if any NAUTi people show up here, make them feel welcome! TNNSE out! https://nxtforum.org/general-discussion/evildave-and-damelon-to-support-nautiluscoin-project/Scam Alert: NautilusCoin
Shaky Origins
NautilusCoin is the creation of Brian Kelly. Actually, that’s giving him a little bit too much credit, because NautilusCoin was created using the now defunct coingen.io service, which means that his knowledge of cryptocurrency is no stronger than his ability to plug in numbers to a web form. Brief history lesson for those new to the game: coingen.io was a web-based service that automatically created an altcoin based on various parameters entered into a form (coin per block, block time, etc). These coins are inherently worthless because they lack a developer.
Note that the Greece article on CNBC is written by Mr. Kelly, and that no other news site has a mention of this news. It is a disgusting example of self promotion using a trusted platform, and should throw up major red flags for anyone considering investing in it.
Prior to this, Mr. Kelly has published several cringe-worthy articles demonstrating his lack of knowledge, here is just one of them. One need not read past the very first paragraph to see just how elementary his understanding of cryptocurrency us:
Bitcoin, the elegant elixir for our fractured financial system, is actually flawed. It’s vulnerable to attacks. There is, however, a fix — something I had installed on my own coin experiment. Here’s how it works:
Mr. Kelly seriously believes that his automatically generated cryptoabortion has fixed “problems” that Gavin and the rest of the core bitcoin developers do not see. Even more amusing is that Mr. Kelly is on the record years ago stating that Bitcoin is nothing more than “Tulipmania 2.0”, yet here he is with his inferior clone of Bitcoin and proclaiming its superiority. Incredible.
Just another scam?
Like most scamcoins, there is a premine involved here. Mr. Kelly touts that NautilusCoin is the first digital currency with a stabilization mechanism to reduce volatility. In reality, this “stabilization mechanism” is nothing more a huge chunk of premined coins that Mr. Kelly alone holds the keys to.
Moving on, let’s talk about Agistri, Greece. This is the island that has adopted NautilusCoin for this so-called test. As per wikipedia, Agistri covers a whopping 13.37 km^2 and has a population of just 1142. This is an insignificant number of people, especially compared to the total population of Greece, which is over 11 million. Why is this information not stated in the article? Could it be, possibly, an attempt to overstate the importance and magnitude of this event? You be the judge.
Traditional wisdom suggests that a competitor (altcoin) must be magnitudes better than the incumbent (bitcoin) to steal away market share. Some examples that come to mind are Myspace being replaced by Facebook, Digg being dethroned by Reddit, Blackberry being pushed into obscurity by Apple/Google. All of these companies had significant advantages that let them surpass the incumbent.
Being a spawn of coingen.io means that NautilusCoin brings absolutely nothing new to the table. It has no advantages. It’s nothing more than an awful clone that lacks everything that makes Bitcoin great – the huge network, the businesses and infrastructure built around it, and most importantly, the thousands of brilliant individuals that work on the codebase. It doesn’t stand a chance.
In the unlikely event of Greece adopting a national cryptocurrency, it would be Bitcoin, certainly not a fringe altcoin. The fact that one insignificant island is sponsoring NautilusCoin does not change that.
Conclusion
NautilusCoin is yet another slimy cryptocurrency that preys on the uninformed. Nonetheless, we can expect events like this to increase the price of the coin. As of the time of writing, it is up 80% over the past 24 hours on Cryptsy. However, the opportunity for non-holders to profit is long gone. You have already missed the train. By buying now, you will be on the receiving end of the dump. Those who currently hold the coin should sell now, before the initial hype dissipates.

What NXT should do is open up development and welcome coders build features and services and look for bugs in the system. The interest should come from the builders first and foremost. Until this happens, nothing will ever happen to NXT.
Also have the current features (there are a lot created in a short time span!) been used in a massive scale? How do you know they aren't buggy if they haven't been used in a massive scale? I'm pretty sure the problems will arise when users count in the millions... So how are you gonna market a buggy, unproven decentralized financial system to banks and corporations?
Then there's also the NXT stigma of the unfair initial distribution. I'm pretty sure the banks will be asking 'Why should we allow you to make money out of us, when we're making money out of you right now.'
Think hard about Tennessee before commiting on what direction to take it. I think the only reason why the NXT community is allowing this is because they're getting desperate. I say don't. Relax and get back to your roots. So what if you get a smaller piece of the pie. At least you get to change the world in your own capacity. That will always count for something.
Edit: And all that marketing to banks and corporations for a budget of 10m NXT... You must be kidding yourselves.

NXT is never going to be adopted by banks or big corporations. NXT's only hope and original purpose was to be a grassroots movement composed of individuals working in a decentralized manner. I totally agree with this statement... At least for NXT that is. And that's what makes NXT beautiful. Going all 'professional' is making NXT look like a bit of a joke really. I mean think about it... It's like Open Bazaar shilling Walmart to use them so it could level itself up and become a legit player in an industry (which isn't going to happen). Don't do it, don't lose your soul. Plus a lot more projects with the proper connections and funding are already way ahead of you. Your 10m NXT isn't enough to compete with them. Think about the direction of Tennessee hard, and don't put your funds and efforts to waste. Just a humble suggestion from an outsider. Edit: People are gonna cry 'scam' at the end of all this if all the marketing fails. And the odds are stacked against you. DE just saw what everyone else hasn't seen yet, or has seen but is in denial about it. But hey, as long as you're getting paid right? |
