This is all I'm gonna I'm going to speak on this, it is quite literally a waste of my time telling people to just look at the NXT blockchain to see the same conclusion anyone with common sense will find, then to be called a troll by founders and the developer.

Not going into your post content wise, i would like to go into it from a communication point of view.
I find it hard to believe that you are surprised by the reception you got on the forums.

Your first post starts with a HUGE pic of the blockchain with angry red ALLCAPS pointing out the unfairness.
Now, I'm not saying the system may or may not be inherently unfair. I am reserving judgement.

However, if from post ONE, you come in criticising, I as a mod or admin would also be taken aback and think "who the hell is this guy and why does he even post on a forum for a product he evidently doesn't trust?".

If someone would have done that on my forums, I'd basically ignore him as someone who barges into a pub and starting to complain about the bad quality of the establishment.

Contentwise you may be right, but you are doing yourself and your viewpoint a severe disservice by basically communicating extemely aggressively. And yes, at that point, the discussion will most probably nót go about content, but emotion.  Roll Eyes

then maybe you'd want to listen to their concerns.
And do exctaly what in decentalized system? U're concerned so stay sway. It's very important in investor's career to fully understand what's going on and predict future.

For a currency to succeed, it needs to be used and accepted by lots and lots and lots of people. If you own NxT, it's in your best interest to listen to potential investors' concerns. Your mentality "If you don't like this, then stay away" is not gonna fly in the long run if you want this currency to succeed.

Listening is not the same as agreeing, though.

No one said you should go away. People pointed out that they disagreed with your point of view. It is altogether possible to listen and then still not act on it, because you disagree.

Also, looking at the exchange, I would say a LOT of people don't seem to have a problem with the prices, because they buy and sell. Are you going to tell them they don't listen to you, too?

The fact that you are implying that they are stupid sheep for doing so is something you will have to deal with yourself, though. I personally find such an attitude hugely disrespectful, but que sera, sera.

WOW 20mil transaction.  cheap bastard changed the fee to only 10!

That transaction came from DGEX

Well guess what, if you want other people outside of your little elite circle to join your circle, i.e., invest, and actually use the currency to trade for actual goods and services, and not just a get-rich scheme, then maybe you'd want to listen to their concerns. Your choice. I already did invest a little, about 10% of what I would like to invest. And I'm seeing the price dropping, good. Waiting on it some more.

Seeing that I only own 1500 NXT (which I bought five days ago at 0,00005), I am curious about your definition of "elite" Cheesy
1665  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Nxt :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information on: December 28, 2013, 10:36:13 PM
He just wants to buy NXT cheaper. Tough luck for him.

Don't tell anyone, but I do, too!  Shocked

I also wish I had thought of starting something like Amazon back in 1994.
1666  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Nxt :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information on: December 28, 2013, 10:25:40 PM
You should post in the video that NxT's are going for 500,000% of what they sold for by the original democratically selected stakeholders. And then stress that in a month or two, you'd have to use Mega percents because that's how rocket fast this is growing! Grin

it is a nice profit for that risk.

Yes, for $4,000 worth (21 BTC in October-Nov) of risk split between 73 people.

Easy to say for people on the other side, but for those who are looking to get in, you should have a little empathy.

How is some people making a profit in what is basically an IPO hurting people who didn't invest?

They didn't invest, so aren't losing something, nor are they forced to invest now.

If they choose to invest, that is their business and their choice.

I have a hard time figuring out what your point is other than in your opinion "it isn't fair".

Hello friends,
I have finally completed a brand new profesionally looking introducing video for the Nxt hompage. It took me 6 days and long nights (one day up to 7 AM), but finally here it is:

http://wideo.co/view/1504591387756502643-nxt-generation-of-cryptocurrency

Very well done. I love the trust inspiring quality of the voice acting Wink
1668  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Nxt :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information on: December 28, 2013, 06:07:39 PM
Guys guys, slow down - are you sure about the legality of owning these aliases just like that?

It's the world of cryptoanarchy. There is no such word as "legal".

Not yet. In cases like this they fight with everything they have at their disposal.

Even íf a judge would follow current jurisdiction, that only gives protection to hugely inflated prices. The best they can do is force the owner of the alias to sell it at market rates that they would have to pay anyway.

I predict that the market rate of the cocacola alias will be high anyway (as for any other major brand) so anyone owning them stands to make a tidy profit anyway  Smiley

selling alias "doubleanal" pm me offers thanks Smiley






lol

I am gratified to see that you áctually own that one!  Grin
1670  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Nxt :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information on: December 28, 2013, 06:16:02 AM
I would also like to ask if the aliases can be made visual on the blockchain.

As fas as I can see with the https://localhost:7875/nxt?requestType=listAccountAliases&account=YOURACCOUNT link, I have successfully registered aliases, but they don't show up in my accounts.

I know this must be done manually, but it is slightly unsettling to not see them.  Wink

Can this be resolved?

All the Dutch language contributions I've made can be found here if someone wants to start integrating them. Don't have much spare time this weekend.

http://nxt-nl.wikia.com/wiki/Nxt_NL_Wiki

I'll see what I can do. I wanted to translate, too, but didn't want to rain on your parade Smiley

By all means, feel free to help. Like I said, I don't have too much time this weekend and would love to see others contribute. So far one other user has made a contribution. It's a lot of work for one person, so if you're up for it go for it. Lets me take up an editing role, apart from the pure translation work and adds some variety.

Great. I was hoping to be able to contribute somewhere Smiley
I'll get on it tomorrow.
1674  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Nxt :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information on: December 28, 2013, 02:43:07 AM

Javacoin. Brilliant  Cheesy

Javacoin: if you own enough beans, you get free refills.

Yes this is ok for you and me who are tech heads but what about mainstream..... mum, dad, gran aren't going to do this.

Erm, it's not thát difficult to make a long and safe password and store it safely.  Huh

Also, just like mum, dad and gran now ask their kids (or someone else they trust) to set up their equipment, if they want to get into NXT safely, they will have to ask for help.

There is always risk involved, but there are simple ways of getting better safety. However, if they cannot, then for now, NXT and other currency online is not for them.



You'd be surprised how difficult it is, I've taught IT at university and secondary levels for over 10 years and daily I'm doing face plants.

I know, I have a mum who lifted her mouse to make the arrow go "up", too Wink

But that's exactly what I mean: for the time being, they either get help or they don't get in. I'm sure with time tools will be developed. That's the good thing about a collaborative venture Smiley

Edit: just saw your last post. I want to make clear by nó means I want to exclude anyone! I am just saying that for now, for the mainstream that you were referring to, this is way over their head. In time, there should of course be tools to make the whole thing accessible for everyone. Otherwise this whole effort is basically a futile thing.
