22  Bitcoin / Project Development / PeerSports.org: Live sports-betting site off the blockchain on: February 13, 2014, 09:18:50 PM
PeerSports.org is not just another bitcoin sports-betting site - it is a proof of concept about the innovation to the online betting industry brought about by bitcoin.

PeerSports.org at a glance:
  • Minimal risk: only your bet leaves your wallet;
  • 100% Secure: wallet and web servers fully disconnected;
  • Fully anonymous: you do not even need an email to place bets;
  • No moral hazard: all bets fully hedged so that we never take a position against you;
  • Transparent: you can follow all bets being made on our site as well as their payouts;
  • All wallets supported: use your favourite bitcoin wallet, as long as it is not shared;
  • Simple interface: the way the bitcoiners like it;

In short, we capitalise on bitcoin to offer you the same service you get from offline bookmaker shops - but now on the internet!

Unlike other online bookmakers using bitcoin, with us you do not need to pre-fund your account by sending bitcoins and then having to wait for an hour or more... With PeerSports.org you can bet straight away the moment you feel like it. Similarly, you do not need to request a pay out of your winnings - they get paid automatically to the bitcoin address the bet was sent from.

And again, our wallets (read your bets) are safe - being able to use the blockchain as our database, our wallet operates on a different (hidden) machine than our web server.

You can read more about the service in our F.A.Q. section.

We appreciate any suggestions/questions/ideas/warnings you might have.

Аз ползвам kraken.com като най-добра борса и, ако си в България, bitcoini.com имат добри цени е лесни плащания. И най-вече са коректни.

Hi

I sent 10,000 Nxt on Friday:
http://87.230.14.1/nxt/nxt.cgi?action=3000&acc=4070501502480809124

No Nxt in my Ripple though, what am I missing?
25  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [[ANN]] Action required to save NXT on: January 17, 2014, 07:24:25 PM

Man, u made my day week!

Post ur Nxt account, I'll send u 1K.

You don't seem to understand that if you do not clear the issues I raised you can never hope of big success of Nxt.

Let me explain:
Someone above asks me about myself: My name is Stamen Gorchev, owner of www.igrach.com - the online portal which introduced online poker in Bulgaria back in 2006, has over 20,000 registered players and was voted three years in a row among the top 50 most influential affiliate sites in the world - a big achievement for a purely Bulgarian site, as you might agree.

Now I want to do to crypto currencies the same what I did to poker in Bulgaria, only that now I have much more experience, media contacts, and money.

Bai Mangal has been keeping me informed about the progress you were making and I felt confident when I opened a special forum room for Nxt in http://hash.bg

Two days ago I announced that I will buy 24.000 Nxt with 1BTC and then will sell at the same price any forum member who might wish to invest. The 24K Nxt were sold out in one hour - cause people prefer buying 10,000 of something instead of 0.5 units of something else (but similar).... simple human psychic well investigated by Kahneman and Tversky....

After you slip-up yesterday, I remembered the FBI call story and did my research. Then I posted in our forum my findings and sent BTC instead of Nxt for the money I had received.

Unless this anonymity and vagueness behind Nxt gets cleared, I will never remove the warning about Nxt on the site and no serious portal will ever do. Think about it!

About the secretly kept P2P principle - the main driving force behind Nxt. Hope sells...true.. but consider this. Let's say you have the P2P discovery and introduce it to Nxt in April. If it is so ingenious, Bitcoin will copy it right away - because the big money of Wall Street is behind bitcoin and will never be behind Nxt as long as you keep managing it this way.

As for your donation proposal of 1000Nxt. If this posting of mine succeeds in waking up the community and somehow helps you realise what the right course of action is, I think you will be much more generous to me.

All best to all
26  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [[ANN]] Action required to save NXT on: January 17, 2014, 03:37:56 PM
dgex freefall

I could have sold before I posted but I did not even though I had my funds with dgex. The owner can confirm my transactions if you want.

The reason: I can afford to lose 130K Nxt. But I think this discussion will only bring necessary light into the project and the price will recover nicely.

And here my main concern from yesterday: Why did CfB get so nervous by the price decline yesterday that he blurted out this bs about Wall Street? If he was all honest and the Nxt was a sound project, why would he get agitated by this?

27  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [[ANN]] Action required to save NXT on: January 17, 2014, 03:29:19 PM
Nxt deserves to fail due to its extremely unfair distribution model. I would cheer on its collapse and fall into obscurity.

fairness to whom? to outsiders NXT owes nothing
to holders... they knew fully well it's distribution model

NTX problem is a simple one. It's wai overpriced

FUD thread.  Works for me... I'll be scooping up some cheap NXT now.

if you ask me this thread can only have two positive effects:
1) CfB will give a plausible explanation, some members of the core team will come out in the light, more details will be given how Nxt is being developed and who owns what. The price will sky-rocket, so do not hesitate to buy now!

2) Core team members will ask themselves some questions, request an explanation by BCNext and if they do not get satisfactory answers, they might decide to quit (thus barring larger damage to many more people than now); or they may decide to take control of what is available, and with the help of the whole community here get Nxt out of the shit.

You tell me which scenario of the above is negative for all of us...
28  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [[ANN]] Action required to save NXT on: January 17, 2014, 03:05:49 PM
okay right, so know you can correct your own incompetency and edit the first post, right  Wink
simply bring it up to speed, bro

just did, if only CfB would correct my other incompetent conjectures, I will mark it all green and spend 10,000 Nxt to any cause you might point me to
29  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [[ANN]] Action required to save NXT on: January 17, 2014, 02:52:48 PM
OK, the 15 minutes mistery as well as the jetty server got kind of solved.

can we stop this now?
if you have questions why don't you ask and search for answers, instead of posting accusations?

and if you want to build a case, then make sure that evidence is waterproof.

that's what the forums are for, bro: for people to correct each other's incompetency. I would be the happiest if I get proved wrong, believe me!

31  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [[ANN]] Action required to save NXT on: January 17, 2014, 02:45:04 PM
did you know that the first versions where run differently: see here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=320718.msg3433643#msg3433643

did you know that Come-from-Beyond rewrote parts afterwards and used jetty (maybe because he's familiar with it, maybe he even copied web.xml)

...

maybe if I'm in the mood, I will continue to dismantle some of your arguments

see, this is a good news and a good explanation.
I am not a hater, I just want to get things straight.

I wonder where CfB suddenly "disappear" - we were used to have him non stop online here.

32  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [[ANN]] Action required to save NXT on: January 17, 2014, 01:56:13 PM
Where do you see the lie from CfB?

that he has an idea to implement a true P2P exchange as a first.
And Wall street project as a second.
33  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Nxt :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information on: January 17, 2014, 01:50:14 PM
Got to apply Occam's Razor in situations like this:

Why would CfB/BCNext want to waste all of this time to scam people and then even care to write a source code, release it and let everyone else see it?
Why would CfB post hundreds of post in the span of a month on 2 forums if he was in it for a quick buck?
NXT already peaked at 10 cents and he is still around, still not pushing millions of NXT into marketing that would undoubtably skyrocket the price over night.


The likelihood of CfB being a scamartist is zero given the evidence we have. Could it be that he is BCNext and just a tad bit paranoid? Sure anyhting is possible, but the evidence presented does certainly not suggest this

I guess the initial plan has changed, now that Nxt has gained such a popularity. I do not mind him being paranoic or whatever - I would like to see publicly people make a team (foundation) and tell everybody that the source files are with them so that Nxt really grows more than any other individual

now, what is that https://github.com/slothbag/nxt-decompiled
a children textbook? not obfuscated java software is open source...

this is good Smiley!
34  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Nxt :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information on: January 17, 2014, 01:39:18 PM
BCNext and Come-from-Beyond are different, they use different language style

It doesn't even matter.....Nxt is bigger than any individual person....so lets just get on with building the technology.


Not as long as this person has the source files
35  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [[ANN]] Action required to save NXT on: January 17, 2014, 01:36:25 PM
I would be surprised if this is true. The NXT team is very active and helpful. Seems like a lot of time and energy to fake a project.

this team is working a lot because they have been paid good Nxt! And this is our chance - to dispell the misteries about the project, what is real and what not, and take it from there.

I am sure CfB never imagined such a success and he is now also searching for ways to come out of the mess. But before he writes some other bs like yesterday, I would like to give him the opportunity to say "I am sorry, but let's do this now!"

36  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Nxt :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information on: January 17, 2014, 01:32:42 PM
BCNext and Come-from-Beyond are different, they use different language style


This is true I must say. But the other arguments are kind of stronger. It is not the problem with them being one or two persons. The problem is in the transparency and this anonymity craze of theirs...
37  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [[ANN]] Action required to save NXT on: January 17, 2014, 01:30:21 PM
Even if CFB is BCNext, I have no problem with that. I think he does what he can to bring Nxt to the next level. Why throwing dirt here? Don’t understand this.

Because there is no P2P Exchange and when April comes he will simply decide to disappear (may be with a million in cash) instead of admitting that he has lied all the time. This will blow the whole system up.

If we now gather and compel him to collaborate, Nxt does have a chance as it is a fine system

good luck with your fork, but without CfB think you are screwed.
Never met a more honest and humble developer in the whole crypto community like CfB.
Just because you don’t like the price now, others are glad they can buy in.
Pin

no ideas of fork, mate. Have you met CfB in person? I do not deny that he is very dilligent and all. But let's see what he has to say first
38  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Nxt :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information on: January 17, 2014, 01:12:36 PM
Action required to save NXT

Let's unite and regain control of this fine software which we all brought to a $30,000,000 market cap.

CfB please stop with the bullshit, let's fix the whole story and you will be richer than ever imagined.
39  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / [[ANN]] Action required to save NXT on: January 17, 2014, 01:09:58 PM
EDIT: I am correcting the initial post with the information which was given in the discussion.

First of all, let me state that I am one of the biggest Nxt fans: I not only bought close to 130,000 Nxt but I am also a gateway for Nxt in Bulgaria through http://hash.bg - a site created to promote the crypto revolution in the country.

As you can see from our forum - there is a special room for Nxt discussions alongside Bitcoin. The very active Nxt contributor in Bitcointalk 'Bai Mangal' is also part of the team, an active member of hash.bg, and a big investor of own money in the project. Thus, writing this posting, we risk losing all value of our Nxt holdings, if panic bursts out.

We do it nevertheless because we want to warn new comers about the risks and, most of all, in the hope to save this good software and to engage the whole Nxt community in our attempt to set things straight. We believe it is time for Nxt to get 100% transparent and to be put on a sound foundation from where to grow.

Here is the Nxt story in short:

The first posting of "Nxt's founder", known as BCNext, is on September 28, 2013 at 07:29:09 AM (UTC+2) where he announces the Nxt idea.

Only SIX minutes later, he posts the following.
This conjecture for 6 minutes later is wrong. He has reserved the second posting and last updated it days later

Important

15 minutes ago I had a talk with a man (or a woman) who said he is a police officer. We were chatting via Skype, he asked me to make him a phone call because he has important information for me. I refused to do so and closed Skype.
Some things to think about:
- I always use Tor surfing the Internet.
- How is it possible to get my Skype number which was created for Nxt project? It was known by 3 people only who are working on Nxt project.
- The phone number was +194... It's the USA and it's a night in there right now. Was it a joke?
- I have checked the computer, no malware found.

I will reinstall OS on my computer and will disapear for a couple of days until I find other ways to surf anonymously but without Tor.

PS: This message was posted by a member of my team.

So, he had a talk with the police on a brand new Skype account, used via TOR, nine minutes before even posting the Nxt idea!!! The police in the US must have had psychic abilities to anticipate a revolutionary posting on bitcointalk by an anonymous author who threatens to destroy the world banking system. The police thinks that the best approach in this case is to contact him right away and ask him to call the police in the US.

This only shows that the founder of Nxt is inclined to resort to childish lies in order to get his point - staying anonymous in this case.

Then there comes the story from yesterday.  As the Nxt price was crashing by nearly 30% the "public face" behind Nxt, known as Coming-From-Beyond, posted:

Woulda Coulda Shoulda. Then sell me some NxT as a token of gratitude for pumping the price up.

Sorry, in 3 weeks the price will touch 1'000 BTC for 1'000'000 NXT mark. I don't sell at current price.

Might you explain why?

We r going to test Asset Exchange for guys from Wall Street. Of coz, after we launch the exchange the price will go even higher.

(This is a personal opinion, not an advice to invest)

This of course is as ridiculous as the "FBI story" above. I do not think I need to explain why; if you do not see it, just ask someone who knows Wall Street... From these two incidents, we know that both BCNext and Coming-From-Beyond have the same tendency to write bullshit without realising how stupid it is.

Now let's take a look at the big picture:

Some guy, BCNext, announces a revolutionary new coin, not a bitcoin-clone, with dream capabilities like a truly-peer-to-peer built-in Exchange among others. He does not care to reveal the principle behind this P2P exchange, explaining he does not want copycats, which is understandable.

The system uses pre-mined units in the amount of 1 billion, which is similar to Ripple but with the big difference that the people behind ripple are public figures and the ones behind Nxt not.

Now, Nxt-idea sounds good and exciting and the community starts to grow. There are even 71 stakeholders who send 21btc in total and get Nxt in return. The software team grows - with steady and generous payments in Nxt by the stakeholders to everyone who helps spread the word and thus finds fresh funds!

End of November, 2014 a new member of the team - Coming-from-beyond is hired to help everyone interested in Nxt. Around the same time BCNext stops writing in the forum.

EDIT: It turns out that CfB has taken over the development to some extent and thus rewritten the initial version to use jetty. Logical, if he has experience with this technology. It does not somehow fit in the whole picture though..

But look at the profile of Coming-From-Beyond: there is a link to his site http://qubic.boards.net/ where the first posting is by the administrator known as... Coming from beyond, posted a full year before Nxt:

http://qubic.boards.net/thread/1/qubic


Read the Qubic idea and see some interesting things:

source: http://qubic.boards.net/thread/2/cfbs-implementation-progress


It is written in Java utilising jetty... sounds a creepy coincidence that Nxt is built on jetty too.

Who does not yet believe that basically BCNext and CfB are the same person!

Which would be OK, if it was not for the whole circus about BCNext hiring CfB.

So, in essence the Belarussian BCNext/CfB has a good business model: Print 1 billion Nxt coins, excite people to start developing for Nxt, promise the community some revolutionary break-troughs to be revealed and start selling as many of his Nxt as possible.

I do not know who else is in the scheme - I believe that most of the developers and people, who have created Nxt-oriented sites and forums - are people like me and Bai Mangal who believe in the idea and are not involved with the scheme.

I strongly doubt that CfB/BCNext has a solution for a truly-peer-to-peer in Nxt. Seeing his childish behaviour (it is not meant as an insult, it really is just that) and his level of thought in 2012 (from cubic forum), I do not believe he has been able to solve a riddle, whose solution has been ellusive to many greater minds than him.

Thus, I do not beleive that anything revolutionary will soon come from Nxt - CfB/BCNext just tries to keep the fire burning as long as he can and sell as many of his Nxt holdings as he can, before disappearing.

But I hope it is not game over yet!

First, we have to see CfB's explanation to the above points - but please man, be honest, you are really terrible at making up stories! Everyone will confirm it to you.

Next, I call on all developers and contributors to Nxt to unite and secure the available source code. How much of it is in possession of Cfb/BCNext? How is the development organised? There is no need to be anonymous if you are not in the "scheme". Coming out will boost Nxt from a little project to a phenomenon, can you not realise it?


Let us see what we have now and start from there. Nxt is a fine software even now, with great functions, and I think we can all advance it a lot together, after we have open the source code and thus stop being dependent on CfB's "genious P2P" announcements and know-how.

And finally, I decided to not sell my Nxt coins. Even if the price now falls but we are able to secure the source code, I would be willing to buy because I believe the exciting Nxt infrastructure and community are good enough to bring the Nxt idea to success.

If it crashes, let it be - I paid a good price for a good lesson. The centralised banking system has crippled our insticts when it comes to money and the crypto revolution will only succeed if we all regain these skills back.


Cheers to all

Hi, sorry if this question has been answered but are the NXT addresses of the 71 stakeholders known publicly? If so, where can I find them. I think information of the coin dispersion would be useful and it would serve the NXT's transparency P2P-model well.
