Please read this important note everyone:
We do not want to get the coins from the early-bird escrowed transactions on or before 22nd February. We want them one day before the final LAUNCH. So we want them AFTER you have participated in an OPEN beta (everyone can participate in it).


I hope that this will clarify the escrow process. I wanted to emphasize this since it is an important note. Could I help you to clear things? Otherwise please ask.
The calculations (who will get what amount of EXO) for all 3 stages are done one day before launch at once and not directly after each stage.

the risk is that he puts makeup on a pig. what if he takes nxt source code but changes a few values and designs an all new graphical font-end. It would be difficult to tell if this is the case or not with closed source code. that is why i made arrangements with him so that i will not be interpreting whether not he has fulfilled his end of the deal. that will be up to my customers to decide. if they feel that i should release the funds to him when the time comes than I will, if they feel otherwise than i will return the funds to them.

Ok so its difficult to make any claims about what the ideal amount is that voters should be charged in order to get the best outcomes. I have no idea what the right amount is. Maybe the 1 nxt tx fee is perfect, maybe its more than it ought to be, maybe its less than it ought to be.  Inorder to find out that would require some sort of market discovery process which would be difficult if not imposable in this context. The point is just that when voting entails no cost people tend to vote based on aesthetic considerations. When voting entails a cost than they tend to be less likely to vote based on aesthetic considerations and more likely to vote based on conviction. Of course there is no guarantee that they will be right just because they have conviction. But there is a strong correlation between conviction and having done atleast SOME amount of research on the topic.

This lecture deals with some of these topics and is very well worth an hour of anyone life who isnt already familiar with these arguments. It very well may be one of the most important videos you ever watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVCSfaWF2bA

Okay, so now we have:

Consensus in NXT is found by looking for the branch that demonstrates the greatest stake participation without claiming to be from the future.

This is achieved by summing up the targets on each branch and the branch with the smallest total is the correct one.

Got it right?

well idk anything about graph theory but yes the length of the chains is irrelevant.

by looking for the chain that demonstrates the greatest stake participation without claiming to be from the future.

i mean it works as slang but it is technically incorrect since its trivially easy to make a chain as long as you want. you could make a 1 million block long chain on my desktop computer in minutes if i wanted.

It's slang. "Longer chain" == "chain with the most stake involved".

whats the voting algo like? 1 nxt 1 vote + tx fee?

CfB,
