Nope, I have mostly completed the messenger and friend functions, they both piggyback onto the block-chain in a really lightweight manner.

So you have to pay 1 nxt to send a message or friend somebody?

By design messages are not sent on the blockchain as AM's to avoid bloating (in the implementation I'm designing).

You are kidding.

Several thousand lines of Java will need to be approved and added, it wont interfere with the blockchain though.

Shot in the dark, is it decentralized sports betting via asset exchange?

Nope, think bigger, it's something that everyone uses (and is forced to use by some extent), but doesn't really like using due to one factor. NXT removes the factor.

intmain(): good. But Billions would be better, however maybe after some time

Billions wouldn't be out of question.

There are around 4M NXT in buy orders on BTER  Smiley. Smart money buying in.

I took next week off incase anyone needs an extra programmer, if every project is fully-manned (which seems to be the case) I will continue working on a personal project for NXT. I don't want to say anything yet but I think it could bring millions of people into NXT.

Klee isn't leaving NXT? Honestly if I had 15M I would've taken out that 2M wall too.
28  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information on: March 18, 2014, 06:46:31 PM
this will hurt a little sorry guys... soon it will be over hint bter

 Roll Eyes It would be beneficial if you crashed the price to 0 on BTER, it would only shoot back up to where it is now, except more NXT would be distributed of course.
29  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information on: March 18, 2014, 08:41:39 AM

good luck with that. there are no serious investors in Nxt. it won't happen, at least not anytime soon. not with the status quo.


If I wasn't under a non-disclosure agreement I would tell you the resources I had access to in a heartbeat. I am a serious investor, I have been since november. I will continue working on this project until I'm the last man standing, because I believe in real democracy.

CIYAM, What do you see the value of NXT being longterm? I partially agree with you, but only to a certain extent, I think the value of NXT can be a few USD max in the next 2-4 years, I'm sorry guys but 500USD isn't going to happen, unless supply is cut off.

Salsacz, I watched your video! Great work! We think a lot alike, I really appreciate the work you're doing. I'll send a tip your way when I get to a safe computer.

MyNxt.info works great, who created it? I will be passing it along to friends and family so they don't complain in a year when they "missed out" because it was too difficult to create an account.

At this moment in time the most important project for NXT's success is automated multisig gateways for the AE. Is there currently a group working on this? I can help out if you guys need a cross-language dev. If I can buy LTC or BTC with NXT I would never use BTER/Cryptsy/BTC-E again. There is a massive market here.

No outsiders care about it all anymore, development has halted, frustrated discussions without any results, prices are going to the bottom and everyone except the initial IPO holders have lost a large amount of their invested money --- is it as good as dead?

No, pull yourself together man.

Wow there is a lot of negativity in this thread, I get stressed/pissed at people I work with too but that's what vodka's for Wink.

Jl777, this is basically what you were telling people two months ago.

      The reason Dogecoin gained such a large market cap in a such a short period of time is public interest. How do we garner public interest in a relatively obscure crypto-currency? Right now even Bitcoin is restricted to the technologically gifted, we need to make everything stupidly easy to use (I think WesleyH has designed the perfect client for this).

     I think we need, in addition to wesleyH's client, a drop dead simple online wallet for new users to get started. Let's not forget that the average IQ of the world's populace is about 100... I remember how many problems techies had with the client in early december, that type of frustration is enough to turn most people off. I can just copy over a bitcoin wallet website I made a while ago and throw in NXT API calls. Shouldn't be too much of a problem.

      We need something that will make NXT relevant, a flagship application that people aged 16-24 (the ideal target audience of a crypto-currency business, or at least mine) can't resist.

      Once the asset exchange is finished let's take-over the online startup crowd-funding community. Not only can people raise money for their startup, their stock will instantly be trading on a massive network, no regulations to conform with. This is, I think, our best sell-point in the short-term.

      Let's sell NXT as the next https://www.kickstarter.com/, but better. We can get hundreds of thousands of people in our community if it works, https://www.kickstarter.com/help/stats. Need funding for a project? Create a new asset and start selling it as stock.

Bumping this thread for the night-owls.

Seriously though, this is a great idea. It gives all of the miners a way to get involved with one of the only serious contenders for Bitcoin.

Exactly!
33  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / The best crypto-currency to mine! on: March 17, 2014, 03:15:29 AM
NXT!!

"But NXT can't be mined?" you ask... Well it can now, https://nextcoin.org/index.php/topic,4388.msg41144.html#msg41144 -- indirectly.  Why shouldn't you just keep your money in BTC or LTC?

When the Asset Exchange moves out of it's testing phase I personally believe the price will at-least double, to be honest it might quadruple in value as it has in the past. That is just short term growth, long term I honestly believe NXT will overtake Ripple in market-cap.

We have the best software (huge thanks to WesleyH), you can see a demo here http://nxtra.org/nxt-client/,  and it is becoming more and more user friendly (and secure) by the day.

NXT's feature's list is massive... Come on, we blow every other crypto-currency out of the water in that field. More features are being added weekly. A new currency has already been created on top of NXT called Nodecoin, it only took 150 lines of C++ to code (paraphrasing jl777).

There are a huge amount of people in our community that are working everyday to push NXT along.
34  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information on: March 15, 2014, 10:59:03 PM
i don't like it, not one bit.  There are enough darknet services now. why try to reinvent the wheel?

Because the current wheel is more of a rectangle than a circle. Do you know how easily the NSA can impersonate websites? The answer is very, very easily. Torbrowser is really slow, but incredibly secure, the internet is incredibly fast but incredibly insecure, https is absolutely useless when the government can hijack any connection they want. I personally want a happy middle-ground that isn't painfully slow.

if providing a platform for child porn is the purpose of NXT, I am out

Childporn was never my intention. I just want normal services like email and instant messaging without government spying.
35  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information on: March 15, 2014, 10:31:20 PM
Edit: so, are there other answers to that question?

Well, there is a built in voting system, we could hold a public forum on the "morality" of a website and then vote accordingly on whether or not to allow it to continue operating in the network. We only need to satiate public interest to a certain extent, if ignorance is bliss, let's keep the public in a state of ananda  Wink.

I will personally be focusing on a simple browser extension for chrome during the next two weeks, it will interface with the NXT client to decode base64 and then display the decoded string in the web browser.

eightspaces, this feeling is cyclical, i felt the same way early december when nxt was essentially just vaporware.
36  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information on: March 15, 2014, 09:34:09 PM
welcome back.
would people using the websites for illegal purposes be a concern?


Well, it would be "a" concern, it just wouldn't be mine. There are currently 25k+ terrorist cells operating on torbrowser, which gets 80% of its funding from the good old USA (Specifically the DoD).

With this background you can't do it yourself? Or do you still have health issues or no time? You would be a huge contribution to the community and I think all of this would be in your best interest. Smiley

I don't exactly know where my health is going at the moment, or my time. I'm committed to helping out and this is definitely in my best interest.

I could write the executable/protocol (protocol would be fairly simple, a entered URI would call NXT, NXT would interpret the URI and pull data from the blockchain and store it in a temporary file system, the browser would then read the filesystem and display the "index") for the URI scheme, but with the current way NXT is set up a string of data can't be stored if it is over 1kb. This creates many problems and will ultimately produce static websites that are about as slow as those on the TOR network.

To allow dynamic webpages on the NXT network onion routing needs to be implemented which I might be able to do, but it would take a month or two at least. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onion_routing.

It sounds great.I hate knowing nothing about programming when i read these things Sad.
Would it be linked with the alias system working as URL, or would it be totally independent??
It could be totally independent and linked with the alias system at the same time. The alias system on the main blockchain could be used to point to a segment of data in a parallel blockchain.  

Hi and welcome (back) to Nxt!

You should poke Jean-Luc and jl777 to see what they may like help with.  Jean-Luc is working on Nxt code, and jl777 (James) has a bunch of really cool projects he's working on and would love input.

Your thoughts on the nxt:// URI scheme is awesome, but I balk at the creation of any application that uses root privileges to reprogram web browsers.  That's a very suspicious-looking activity, even if it is well-intentioned, and most anti-malware packages will block it.

There are browser plugins that can be used to decode Nxt aliases, right now, as well as a URL forwarder at http://www.mynxt.info/fwd/.  I think the browser-plugin route is the easiest one right now; it's the same thing Namecoin is doing.

IMHO what we need first is some consensus on what format to use in alias strings (I think URI makes the most sense, and doubt many would disagree).
Thanks!
I'll contact them and see if I can help.

The browser extension route may be more kosher, and could be just as effective as an URI scheme. Instead of .onion (in context with https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tor/ohielanlcdleofjibfmjbbkaajdcpoil?hl=en as a proof of concept) the extension could be .nxt or something along those lines.

Allow me to introduce myself, I am an early investor in NXT, and have been floating around various community forums since november under different names. I know C++, Java, PHP, Javascript, Html, CSS, SQL, Python, and HDL (Hardware Description Language).

I haven't been around for the past two months because of health reasons, but now I want to contribute in any way I can.

I think if we integrate application level URI schemes (i.e. nxt://, as someone suggested earlier) http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/aa767914(v=vs.85).aspx, with a distributed storage parallel block chain to host websites -- the value of nxt would go to 2 BN in about a week. 

In fact a simple executable with root privileges could reprogram browsers without any user effort.

Thoughts? If enough people are interested I can fund this project out of my own pocket.
