Noob here, do I hold my Unity (supernet) coins assets in my NXT wallet?
You should. Unless you fully trust centralised exchanges like Bter  |

ok and how are dividends paid and how much...basically how it works once i buy 800k unitys   If I'm correct up to now only some assets have been distributed amongst SuperNET (and Nxtventure) holders, like NeoDICE and Pangea (poker). In future, when SuperNET goes live and people start really using the features, also 'earnings' in transaction fees and earnings from projects like FreeMarket will be distributed via SuperNET. But I think it's too early for that. Please correct me if I'm wrong |

So it's basically this?: The only reason leasing exists is because it would exist regardless, someone would build such a system to allow stake leasing whether it was "officially" sanctioned or not?
http://wiki.nxtcrypto.org/wiki/Account_LeasingThis feature introduces two main benefits.
Firstly, you no longer need to leave your client running 24/7 in order to take part on the forging process. You can lease your balance to someone that does.
Secondly, it allows the formation of forging pools where multiple users can combine their forging power to increase their chance at forging a block. Any NXT forged is not automatically sent to your account, it's up to the pool owner what to do with it. So if you don't feel comfortable leaving the client running logged into an account that has lots of NXT in it, you use a forging account with little NXT in it, and lease the other big account to it. If the small account gets hacked or something, you don't lose much  |

The NXT ecosystem has one of the best (dev oriented) communities and has awesome crypto features, plus it's part of the SuperNET(work), so yeah, it's an obvious choice |

hmm I have a question if thats alright.
I send Unity from BTer to my NXT wallet, but it hasn't arrived it seems.
new wallet install and the wallet is fully synced.
any tips?
Check http://nxtexplorer.com/ to see if it arrived yet from Bter. If it takes too long, wait or open support ticket at Bter. |

I think a constant rising BTC would be good for Crypto in general and in particular for some of the better Alts.
Especially as soon as BTC starts to feel expensive to buy ($800 ?) people start buying 'cheaper' alts again. Well, that's what happened with LTC last year I think Yes. And a rising BTC is the best PR for Cryptocurrencies and brings more ppl in Crypto. And there are many who think that they are too late for BTC and that BTC possibly won't be on Top in 5-10 years. Therefore.. I hope and believe that the best time for Alts is yet to come and that some of the better ones will become serious Investments instead of manipulated penny-stocks. Yep, a year ago apart from LTC (a bit faster) there were no real alternatives to BTC. You had Namecoin with their DNS/alias-tech, and Peercoin with some PoS. That seemed about it, if I remember correctly. Cryptoworld certainly has changed a lot this year!  |

Is supernet dead?  No, that's blocknet. |

The top accounts are exchanges account like BTER so these data are a bit biased. Good point. I keep over-looking that, and im sure others do. Maybe the site could add an '- exchange held funds' line. I think a lot of people have their >100k of NXT tied up in NXT Assets. Whales or fat dolphins have only a few NXT in their accounts |

Well, at least now we're sure it's a waste of time to try to have a rational discussion with user cbeast. He's just trolling.

NXT users claim that it cannot become permanently centralized. They offer no test to verify if it is decentralized. They just say so.
PoS crypto like NXT platforms will get more and more decentralized. More users using/owning NXT -> better distribution -> more lightweight wallets staking (on phones and raspberrypi's) -> even more secure network. Also, as soon as the Transparent Forging technology is ready, one would need to own (=buy) more than 90+% of all NXT, if I understand correctly. That would drive the price of NXT through the roof. BTC will become more and more centralized (physically). As difficulty of mining increases, it can't be done by consumers, only by companies that can invest in expensive equipment. Companies merge and get bought. They will be in central locations that can house massive server parks, needing huge amounts of energy. It's much easier and cheaper to (physically) attack of hack of dismantle a couple of centralized server farms than it is to take down a decentralized network that runs on peoples phones and private computers. Seems rather obvious actually. |

Bitcoin does not need fixing because it ain't broken.
"Central Banking doesn't need fixing because it ain't broken." You sound like a true Believer All things can be improved. Even better: we should try to break things! Adopt, adapt and improve. http://www.coindesk.com/gavin-andresen-bitcoin-hard-fork/ |

Is Boolberry still a part of the SuperNET?
It hasn't got its own board at https://forum.thesupernet.org/index.php like NXT and BTCD have. But http://nxter.org/supernet-newletter-2/ lists BBR as a core coin: "Boolberry (BBR) offers additional anonymising features to provide an extra layer of privacy. Boolberry is based on CryptoNote, an implementation of ring signatures. Ring signatures provide a good level of privacy but generally do so at the expense of blockchain bloat. This raises questions about the long-term sustainability and user-friendliness of CryptoNote coins. Additionally, there are circumstances under which anonymity may be lost, but Boolberry’s lead dev has come up with an innovative way of avoiding this problem, as well as reducing bloat. You can find out more on the bitcointalk BBR thread." |
