Why suggest it then?

At the time moment the mining algorithm is not a problem. Lack of the transactions (and, subsequently, lack of the fees) is a problem. We should concentrate on a creation of a services for Nxt.

Thank god someone is finally doing this.

Quark in the News! - Bill Still on Bernanke’s Bitcoin Surprise and Quark!

i am not working on it now, first i have to see the api and specs.
then, if the community has decided, i could start on 3.january.
it would take me ~4 weeks, to code the client from scratch,
optimized for all nxt advantages.

btw. today i will quickly add some basic graphic/charting to block explorer
to visualize some data. there was more planned but when this is done, i will
stop adding more features due to client, which is far more important i think.
so if there is any must have feature you need, please tell me now.

The problem is BCNext didn't stick to his original plan. He got spooked by eMunie and jumped too early before a sufficient number of people had contributed to the genesis block. The client wasn't ready for launch either. It looks like BCNext regrets the launch date decision now, but complaining about the actions of the people who did take a gamble on NXT seems very immature and counter productive.

eMunie will succeed because its founder has patience enough to launch when he knows his product is ready. With eMunie it's quality and professionalism all the way, and that's why eMunie will be a huge success when it is launched.

Nxt has been pretty successful so far, so I'm not sure what the problem is anyway. Patience man! It's still early days, but you have damaged NXT with your threats and dramatic antics.

I have a much larger stake in NXT than I ever imagined, but that's because BCNext launched nearly 6 weeks early with too few investors, and he needs to take responsibility for the concentrated ownership as it's entirely his fault. I didn't commit to any specific actions when I sent in my BTC back in September - I'm not so much a stakeholder as an investor/gambler. I'm grateful to those users who are actively doing things to support NXT, but was there an agreement we signed? Everyone is following their own self interest.

My intention is to wait until the NXT exchange is finished and then enter the market. I'm not going to be a hoarder.

Ok, apparently it is just pre-added.  They planned to add it on the 13th, maybe they just need to switch on trade tonight.
A good sign anyway.  Bill Still is still spreading the word too. Not sure if is famous in China though!

So, do we just keep restarting NXT in order to collect everyones BTC over and over again?

Umm.... free market?

BCNxt is obviously either mental or cannot deliver colored coins and looking for an exit.

The latter is what I suspect is going on.  Booo!

I now you are involved and dont blame you, you are the only one who donated.

We did tons of work and in my case I received 1000 NXT for it, that is 0.007 BTC think I am not alone,

also the people who run the forum like optacil, come from behind etc... have invested lot of time and money,
 dont know how many they did receive for it.

Time for others to step up, you already did a great part !

Only 10% r mining blocks.

sorry guys it may be something as simple as a mad rush overload - just a bit ago I made a post on another fairly large forum that I frequent about NXT.  It may be lots of folks hitting nextcoin from there.

Though unless dgex and nextcoin are ont he same system, it wouldnt explain it.

I guess if we see a mad rush in volume in the next 2 days you'll know who to thank

dgex is working fine for me

Both DGEX.com and nextcoin.org down...
Hummm...

@klee: thanks bro, yes we should help Nxt get further

@Pouncer: this was another part of the idea, we will need soon to put aside a funding source to support techies and devs working on Nxt core development.
We have a funny situation here, some +5M stakeholders have nothing more to do than spamming, and people like Jean-Luc and Nextren are contributing a lot and get nothing to keep their motivation alive. It becomes more tragic when nextern offers a part of the donation he receives to supply my giveaway (which I refused and advised him to keep them for his own uses) but not a dime from.... well I don't need enemies.

The +850K I secured already is for supplying the already posted bounties (video-articles-whitepaper). With the 600K neer.gh promised more, we can be aasured that we are able to pay the remained 400K to Cunicula when he gets the paper ready (he already received 600K) and run the giveaway a bit longer.
But we need another pool and more donations to support the core devs progress. neer.gh has promised 4M Nxt first to supply the giveaway and bounties but in a recent pm I asked him to keep those 3M for himself and only donate us 600K more. I did this because it is not fair that only one person pays 4M while they cost $4K atm and all the others just sit back and wait for the dumping moments and keep spamming (yes I mean you bahamapascal)

Thank you ,Klee

I'm a big supporter of this idea.  I've been patrolling the Nxt Forum and offering help where I can, as well as trying to keep the wiki up to date.  I'm getting a little bitter about collecting a total of 100 Nxt in donations (current market value: $0.81USD) for all the time and effort I've been putting in (aside from my own [small!] BTC investment) -- especially when I see peer nodes on my network sitting on 19 million, 32 million, and 40 million coins.

I'm HAPPY to help people install, run, trade, etc., but just can't continue to do it for a pittance when I know people are sitting on millions of coins and contributing nothing.  Investing 1 BTC into a fundraiser has worth, but so does the investment of my time.  I will offer my services as a support person, but not for zero return.

Many people are offering help.  What's sad is that there are GAPS that these people are filling that have NOT been asked for, so no central entity is monitoring that effort and rewarding it.  And that's unfortunate, because the kind of help people like me and opticalc and Johnycrypt and drexme are providing is critical to the future of Nxt.
 
Documentation, communication, and tech support are critical functions.  You can build the best crypto that will ever exist, but if nobody understands it, hears about it, or can use it -- it's dead.

I also struggle with my ability to authoritatively answer questions because I very rarely get to look "under the hood".  I *think* I understand forging and hallmarks and other details, but to beuild that understanding I have to rely on snippets of gold dropped by CfB and others in forum posts.  I wish BCNext had a published design spec (or formal white paper) that was authoritative.

Bybitcoin, I have a proposal for a productive use of the bounty funds.

One area I think needs immediate attention and will go a long way towards greater adoption and helping secure the network is realtime technical support. Many users struggle to understand the Nxt concept & to run the Nxt software. Most are in no position to spend hours struggling with it only to start all over again when a new version is released.

CfB is busy with dev and at the same time being inundated with level 1 support questions. I propose setting up a dedicated thread (or even a support ticketing system) where we give a bounty to someone for manning a real time support desk. He/she should be competent in java, server setup, security and all the basic tech stuff that most users struggle with now. The tech support needs to understand basic functionalities and behaviour of Nxt, but need not be in the dev category (these ppl would be more productive actually going the dev).

The idea is that if we have 2/3 ppl on this support desk, we will have 24x7 personalized realtime tech support and users don't have to post a problem/bug and wait for 12 hours before CfB responds and then wait for another 12 hours for the next feedback. This team will liaise with the dev team for L2 support and bugs feedback, who will in turn liaise with the invisible BCNxt for L3 support.

Because Nxt is brand new software and brand new concept, such professional tech support will go a long way to making it the Nxt bitcoin - fast!

No, some of them also care about spamming the thread by saying this is excellent or that is terrific while keeping a Canadian singer DG lady photo at their logo, but not a hand of help or a single dime of donation.. amazing!

Sorry klee for the delay, dude I still have problem with the client, will send you 200K to let you continue the giveaway ASAP.
Just for the public to know, I already received 400K from Pouncer, 400K from Neer.gh and 97K from klee, which I keep to supply the posted bounties (video-article-whitepaper) and the giveaway (which shall run until the end of 2013). Neer.gh promised me to donate 600K more to secure the source for paying the bounty awards.

I have an idea: perhaps we can invite stake-holders to offer to the community their interest to fund some partnership projects. For example let's say I post a proposal in the bounty thread offering 3M Nxt to anyone who can create or bring a poker platform running in Nxt, so he/she and I may become partners and start a business together and share the whole ownership and future profits at let's say X% and Y% profit (it was just an example, I am not really proposing this personally), or a digital good shop. This has a lot of benefits, enlarging Nxt marketplace and popularizing it, distributing the initial investment fund into that economy and finally benefiting the stake-holders more and last longer than with a raw sell-dumping at this or that target price. This will also creates jobs-funds for interested developers to use their muscles into building the blocks.
What do you think?
