been in crypto for awhile... honestly do your own homework as anyone promoting a coin is a bag holder.... promising coins on my radar are nxt, ethereum, and bitshares... always check with community size when researching.... and of course install the wallet clients to compare. my 2 bits

how do you prove that this was an unfair distribution? right now it's just claims unless it's documented somewhere...

Bitcoin will always be on top as the coin to the fiat world.

but i feel nxt and etherum will be the runners up as they are tackling the apps space. ethereum has it going for them is the ability to market better to devs even tho they are in testing still. nxt has the first mover advantage but lacking on the marketing front.

i think nxt is strategically waiting for ethereum to come out first with smart contracts and see how that plays out before moving into that space and then possible leap frog it.

having that nxt is a bad name for the system due to the fact that when u google it, u get wrestling and lego results. in hind sight it might have been done on purpose to obsure itself to slow the adoption rate in order for the devs to build a robust platform and let it break and fix it without much intervention like btc forks. maybe this is the great crypto conspiracy. i also believe some of the devs on nxt are from the same cypherpunks group that satoshi joined.

i don't know the full story of bitshares. can someone elaborate? i just know it was rebranded from protoshares right? also a question to why?

honestly they seem to have unique properties in a coin. but it seems they are targeting mainly financial applications that has to do with trading.

everyone keeps saying they are comminist type coin. can some one explain that or why it is not?

i must agree with this... having nxt named after wrestling and lego.. might actually be a good thing.

fyi: by you doing that. u actually make nxt look stupid.

BTC isn't going to go away thats for sure. its the only coin that has access to the fiat world... its just that for people wanting to work on a different system with more features, its nxt as of the moment. and possibly ehtereum once that gets released.

BTC will always be king.

thats' only when it clicks in ppls heads and get that light bulb moment:



Many altcoin communities can already piggy back on top of the nxt system using monetary system and even mine with it using existing POW hardware. I don't think this was marketed much as the monetary system seems quite robust having the ability to give users the ability to "mine" via pow while using nxt to secure the coin.

i believe given a few more years, coins devs will realize that working together is  more beneficial than competing among one another.

To me all this altcoin fighting reminds me of history of China, The Warring States Period:


Obviously don't take the analogy literally....

modifed from the other post.

what is pay expo about anyways?

Change log:

This release removes compatibility with peers older than version 1.5, and no
longer accepts connections from them.

Conditional logic dependent on block 445000 has been removed where no longer
necessary, as block 445000 has been passed now.

Parallel blockchain download using 36-block segments is now the default
regardless of height. Returning more than 36 blocks at a time by getNextBlocks
is no longer supported.

The maximum WebSockets message size and the maximum allowed response size to a
getNextBlocks request have been reduced from 192 MB to 10 MB.

A checksum at block 445000 has been added.

Added isDownload field to the getBlockchainStatus and getState API response,
indicating if blockchain download is in progress. This gets set to true when
a batch of more than 10 blocks at once has been downloaded from a peer, and
gets reset to false when an attempt to download more blocks from a peer does
not result in any new blocks added.

The peer requests getUnconfirmedTransactions, getMilestoneBlockIds,
getNextBlockIds, getNextBlocks, processBlock, processTransactions,
getCumulativeDifficulty, are being rejected while a blockchain download is in
progress, as indicated by the above isDownloading property.

The timestamp of the last connect attempt to a peer is now included in the peer
JSON object.

Added a connect parameter to DumpPeers debug API, to force a connection attempt
to each known peer first, adminPassword required if needed.

The run.bat script on Windows no longer uses the -server flag by default.

Updating nodes of version older than 1.5 to this release will delete blocks
after height 445000, to make sure such nodes are not left permanently stranded
on the 1.4 fork.

Why not join forces with NXT and create a even better platform together instead of competing head on? Clearly nxt is leading on the 2.0 front. Why waste resources when you can work together.

wasn't NXT coming up with an anonymous feature? i think that mighty be their ace card to end all these anonymous coin fights. that combined with the marketplace feature would be a game changer. 

Just use NXT and use the monetary system feature to make a new coin.... easy as 123.

any video walkthrough?

many people say NEM had sock puppets, but is there a thread that proves this is the case?

but what i do notice is that NEM bag holders are very obvious in trying to push nem when nxt topics come up.

hands down it's NXT. other coin that might be promising would be ethereum, but its vapor ware until an actual release. the only thing i see they might have over nxt is the marketing and vc backing. but technology, nxt is in the lead by a big margin.

here's some screen shots of the nxt wallet in action...

there's going to be so much bickering on the way up to 2140... today its all about block size...

what are some potential headache discussions we might have down the line?

im kinda new to this block size thing. seems like this is a big issue... why cant they just code this to switch to 20mb at different block heights so everyone can gradually upgrade easily?

how do u even get into something like this? i mean who even knows how to fly a balloon up into the atmosphere without it popping. doesnt gas expand up there?
