DO NOT SEND DEVELOPER ANY COINS FOR DISTRIBUTION, THIS COIN WON'T WORK!

It is funny how you now want to send money towards this coin. And even try to push the price down to get more. But a few days ago this coin was worth zero to you. It will be interesting to see how much you will value it after one month.

To his credit I believe he was expecting me to sell the coins as some kind of an IPO.

That and also at that time coin was supposed to be using fixed difficulty, it would be a dissaster to do that one way or another
unless one can create such a system where network just don't care if you submit block too early (for example in under 55 seconds)
but also halves or drops difficulty down to 1 in case of block taking too long (for example over 65 seconds). Something like that
will be the cryptocoin of the future or at least the most "green" one. The way all coins work now is just horrible, all it takes to
increase inflation is to add considerable hashrate! Add 10 times more hashrate to Bitcoin and there you go, inflation up by 1000%
until 1st difficulty change and then 250% until 2nd difficulty change (max diff multiplier is 4). Have quantum computer with almost
unlimited speed? Well, all BTC would be mined in under a week, I guess.

Bitcoin, Litecoin and all other guys are playing with fire. None of those coins have protection from block flood or "no rain" seasion.
All it takes to do massive damage to those coins is to take care of few major pools, e.g. few humans. Given that almost everyone
do not have local Bitcoin node and mining setup for solo mining you can easily imagine what would happen in case described above.

As soon as some cryptocoin arrives that takes reality into equation I'll move all my online wealth there. All this coins made by geeks
just can't survive even minor real world threats.

Buy NXT then...

Help Nxt by writing Articles

Is here anyone, who would write excellent and long articles about:


- Why is pure Proof of Stake in Nxt best solution for cryptocurrencies?

- How can you mine Nxt only with solar energy?

- How could decentralized exchanges change the world? (no Government, no censorship, USA, China...) - + decentralized messaging, DNS

- The 51% Attack - technical details, history of 51% attacks, how it ended, Nxt solution (is Nxt safer than other PoS currencies?) (Ghash's pool is risking Bitcoin's security again with 40% of the network's hashpower and no one is talking about it. Pools of PoW machines with enormous hashpower is Bitcoin's most pressing concern and biggest flaw right now. Nextcoin is the best answer to this. Why is it not being talked about more?)

- Nxt: gaming friendly currency (vs. Litecoin, a graphic cards killer) - Due to Litecoin's difficulty skyrocketing there is a global shortage of Graphic Cards, which piss off gamers tremendously and drive up the price for grahics cards. NXT solves this. (Uniqueorn's idea, maybe reserved for him..?)

- Nxt + Raspberry (+other similar platforms (Cubietruck)) (can be different articles, also short articles) (0 energy  forging package)

- Transparent Forging (very very technical, history of mining, comparisons)

You can make reservations on these articles.


Shorter articles/essays:

- Why should you invest in Nxt? (/Why should you invest in Nxt long term?)

- Why is Nxt so friendly currency?: (i) It *doesn't* have VC capital backing. ii) It *doesn't* have "slick sales guys*. iii) It *does* have smart devs and an increasing following.  iv) It *is* delivering its promises (more or less) on time.) - more about the community, people form all over the world, community funding, decentralized company - a world of free individuals who all believe in Nxt. 1200 pages in Bitcointalk


Future (short) articles: (now it's to soon):

- Who accepts Nxt as a payment? (+ fee in Nxt vs. Bitcoin vs. fiat (VISA))
- Nxt invites altcoins to host on it's blockchain
- Can be a new internet stored on Nxt's blockchain / DNS system?


Have you got any idea about some other article? Share it. We would love to have more scientific articles, financial, economical, IT...

Important notice regarding Let's Talk Bitcoin 1-minute spots!

Salsacz and I have been in touch about recording 1-minute spots for the Let's Talk Bitcoin network and we'd love to hear from Nxt champions all over the world.

We're asking you to record SHORT (10-15 second) answers to this question:

What is Nxt?

Here's how to do it:

  • Go to http://vocaroo.com/
  • Use your PC's microphone to record a message including your name (real name or forum nickname), location, and your answer to "What is Nxt"
  • When you're happy with your recording, hit the "email" button and send your recording to whatsupnxt@gmail.com

FOR EXAMPLE:  "This is Come-from-Beyonce, from Belarus.  Nxt is so energy efficient that I can forge coins on a $35 Raspberry Pi computer powered by a solar panel!"

I'll be collecting these recordings and compiling them into a series of 1-minute spots to promote Nxt.  Keep your answers short by focusing each one on a Nxt feature that that is important to YOU.

They are expecting a completed ad in a couple of days, so please make a submission before Wednesday, January 29.  Record SEVERAL short pieces, if you like -- just keep each one brief.  I'll wrap it into a nice package, and do us all proud.

Hi everyone.

How about these for a couple of proofs of concept?  Two one-minute spots I recorded this evening:

General Nxt intro: https://soundcloud.com/whatsupnxt/nxtminute-0001
Nxt minute: https://soundcloud.com/whatsupnxt/nxtminute_0002

I welcome feedback.

Good stuff. Week two is great. Week one has good content, but it sounds like a corporate advertisement. I think it needs to communicate the exciting community-driven nature of it somehow. It should make people feel like they want to get in on what's happening. I think it would benefit from a slightly more conversational tone too. Can you post the text, or send it to me?
Good. I'm in agreement with bithic's comments. The overall tone needs to be more conversational, but doing that in a 1 minute spot is a bit tough as it needs to be concise. Week one's ad should really compel a listener to pull up their browser and go to nxtcrypto to see what it's all about. Assuming they've never heard of it before, the common reaction is "oh another coin...". It has to bust through that wall, deliver a few critical points and get listeners excited. I think delivering Nxt as a platform in the introduction is most important.

For an intro something like "Nxt isn't just another alt coin. It's a community driven platform built on original code that's delivering features the crypto currency world want's and needs to move forward into the next generation." Then yada, yada with a few main points like "Nxt solves the 51% and even 90% attack of bitcoin with it's transparent forging feature". "This same feature allows the network to remain secure while performing visa scale transaction times." Cover the main failings of bitcoin and how Nxt solves them. Finish with the info source and hopefully that drives them to nxtcrypto.org to do some research.

It doesn't have to be exactly that, obviously, but I think you get the jist.  Just my opinion. Hopefully it contributes.  

We need to make sure people understand that NXT is currently evolving very rapidly. The fact that it can even evolve will probably be news to most people. We don't want people to get disappointed that not all of the promised features are there yet. I think we should talk about the incredible TPS, but in a future tense.

Join NXT as we enhance it to the point where it can handle thousands of transactions per second.

That is something that nothing else out there, first or second gen, can come close to. We need to solidify this in people's minds before April, when the attack of the klones begins.

With a minute spot, I would suggest getting a couple of different people to read different spots.  You could have somebody doing mythbusting spots but I think it would be better to instead focus on the really cool features built into next and helping people imagine the reasons why they would actually want to use it.  People are very creative once you point them in the right direction, but the metacoin layer thing is a tough sell at first.     If you focus on the negative stuff people think about NXT, you come off as defensive but if you just talk about why your project is neat and why you're excited about it, that will attract more attention because people think its a good thing not a bad thing.

The perspective YOU bring, going into talk to people about NXT will be reflected in how they react.  If you think they'll hate it, they're probably going to hate it because you'll couch your words in such a way to make them prepare to hate it.  

You guys don't need to be defensive, you have a major advantage - a product that's out, and that seems to work with a development team that doens't have the legal liability of your competitors or some of the jurisdictional risk.   Your disadvantage is NXT appears to be a bit headless, with a few self-appointed organizers but no real structure besides stakeholders acting in what they feel is their own best interest.   It might be interesting talking about that, how NXT is a *real* decentralized org in that there is no formal company at all doing the development or paying for anything.

Quotable?:


It's really interesting watching this community - you guys are the only "headless" metalayer, lacking a founder or team and yet delivering with real working software.  

Keep up the good work Smiley
If you're asking for my permission, feel free - everything I do is creative commons, attribution + noncommercial

For the minute spots maybe we're overthinking this, maybe it should really just be the NXT Minute on LTB, and twice a week listeners of LTB get updated to the most important thing "This is the NXT Minute, this week saw the release of the new client that does blah blah blah" you have enough room for about 65-72 words in a minute of human speech, you'll want to pick out some music (I can help with that) and leave a little space on either side to allow for the fade in and out.

I think the NXT minute with occasional experiential spots shared by members of the NXT community would go over really well.  Then you could have something that would always be different, always be useful and informative, and whenever a really good community submission comes up you just run that instead of the update.  You get the best of both worlds, informational, timely and cheap while community spots provide the emotional and real world context.   It would probably be good to have people write these and then have them voiced by members of the community who are a) good at that, and b) have good mics, it makes a big difference.

About Nxt in 1 minute

we need to record 1 minute long recordings about Nxt to promote it in the radio. You can write a script, even record it or only come with idea what we should speak about. Or help with corrections.

Topics could be:
- formerly closed source nature, the limited distribution, the anonymous nature of the creators, the traps built into the source,
- all myths: http://nxtcoin.blogspot.cz/search/label/Myths

It could be a dialog - interview:

- personal experiences and feelings about NXT.

- a lot of different spots, spots with people answering the question "What is NXT" in their own words.

We need to do it fast. (in hours/few days)

Thank you for your cooperation.

-- the boss here would probably be Joefox, if he agrees. But I think - everyone can participate.

I have a new way to explain why NXT fundraising was closed at 73 people.

James

NXT fundraising was closed because BCNext generated the Genesis Block.  

It's not that hard to understand, but people seem to want to create all kinds of controversy around it.

It was closed so the genesis block could be created and the community could start building the software and ecosystem. If BCNext waited until Jan, we'd be 2 months behind.


Also, he stopped at 21 bitcoins because he liked the number "21", as in there are 21 million bitcoins  Smiley That's the only symbolism going on around here.

I wrote about 3 symbols in NxtMyths1:
Now we know about 3 symbolic numbers hidden in the world of Nxt:
-       3 January – the release of Nxt happened 5 years after the release of Bitcoin.
-       21 Bitcoins – The IPO was stopped in the time when were gathered 21 Bitcoins, i tis 1/1000.000 of the all existing Bitcoins from now on.
-       Anonymous BCNext – BCNext plays the same role as Satoshi Nakamoto. We don’t know who they are.
