Instead of 0.001 you should use 0.0001. thats about 10 cents and thats pretty much what it costs to have your transaction almost guaranteed to be included in the very next block. just look for something like advanced send or advanced options to manually set it to that value.

However a piece of tape over the camera is simple and foolproof.
They can still hear you fart from the camera's mic though!  well its foolproof for being looked at |

I'm not so sure giving him Nxt would be a good idea. Bill Still took a lot of heat for possibly receiving donations before he promoted Quark. I'd rather not risk the accusation of the Nxt community "bribing" him to promote Nxt. Just give him good information with no strings attached, and he'll appreciate the gesture.
perhaps this is wise |

Why don't we use the 10M fund to send him 100k NXT? This is marketing and promotion.
What would be the best info to send along with the 100k?
because that should be used for development Is that what was decided? just my opinion also not just development, we need a code audit and a whitepaper |

alright so i have the 100k and i could probably write a short summary. how do we contact him?

Is anyone actively trying to contact Mark Cuban in regards to his tweet that he is interested in investing in the "Nxt Generation of Cryptocurrencies"?
Giving him some NXT would help us inform the masses about NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin.
ill do it if no one else wants to I'll help you come up with what to say. If we could collect 100,000 NXT to give him that would be great. What do you think would be the best way to contact him? Is this guy really a big shot? how many twitter followers does he have? if the cause is right i could perhaps dedicate 100k from my promotion fund. |

Oh, yeah, I almost forgot: http://www.emarineinc.com/categories/Solar-Panels/Solar panels are the rule rather than the exception on modern boats. At least 70% of the boats you find in any marina will have some of these new high-efficiency panels that are tough enough to walk on, usually either on the deck or on the doghouse. They're handy, quiet, and very low-maintenance, and they provide enough power to run your critical electronics systems (or if you're rigged with the new LED running lights, can store enough in your batteries to keep your lights running all night). That said, they don't provide very much power. If you want something power-hungry like refrigeration or, god forbid, air conditioning, then you need to have something else. I sort of hate guys who make noise and stink by running diesel generators at anchor in an otherwise quiet harbor, but if they want to run a refrigerator or an airconditioner, and don't have a big wind generator, that's what they usually wind up doing. i think tidal power is probably not the way to go in open ocean. we are really looking at a combination of wind and solar. you know if you were mostly stationary than you could afford to use wind collection devises that add an amount of drag that would generally be unfeasible on a boat that spent most of its time underway. i mean i think we all know that we would have to sacrifice some luxuries. it wouldn't be an easy life. it would be a life for freedom junkies who were willing to make some major sacrifices. but there are a couple of things that i dont think anyone would be willing to sacrifice. with a combination of these technologies and effective rationing do you think that you would be able to run some ac and a refrigerator and a couple of electronic devices? also its important to note that it would be hardest for the forerunners and marginally easier for each additional migrant than the one before. eventually we would start to have a real economy with devision of labor. likely in time entrepreneurs would open power plant barges and sell electricity. |

Hopefully solar energy generation and battery tech will be advanced enough to eliminate the need for other fuels in propulsion and regular living on the water. There's certainly enough sun energy out there to be able to live a semi modern lifestyle.
I wouldn't count on that, since solar energy requires a lot of surface area, which is possibly the most constrained resource on a boat. Personally, I think the only real energy source that could make seasteading viable in the long-term is miniaturized D-T fusion reactors. Of course this is always 50 years away, and it would require pretty big boats, which is exactly what OP is trying to avoid. It requires a lot of surface area now. I believe solar cell conversion rates are low single digits and battery tech isn't that good either but solar tech is growing fast. There already exists a few big boats that are only solar powered. 5-10 years and smaller boats will be able to do the same. Actually good PV cells already get to well over 10%. I doubt the efficiency will increase more than 3-fold in the foreseeable future. But maybe that will be enough for basic functions... Maybe worth talking battery tech, too. LiFePO4 has finally become widespread in manufacturing, and it's exceptionally well-suited to this kind of application. Costs are falling quickly (they're competitive with LiPO, though not LiCoO2 ["Li-ion"], which is fine given all its drawbacks), and you shouldn't, for years, have issue with going from frequent discharge and recharge. They're relatively safe and have a fairly constant discharge rate (with regards to voltage). They make for some excellent batteries which are relatively new and thus have a lot more room to fall in price. Things have really advanced quite a bit in this space in the past 5-10 years. nice addition to the conversation. |

You should post some pics of your vessel.  |

When the price of nxt drops 0,00005 btc?
eh i would put it at a 50/50 shot that you might buy in at that level in the near future. if its going to happen than it will happen within the next month im sure. |

PS: This community is definitely awesome. Wish it is not too late to join.
That's like looking at bitcoin when the price was 1 dollar and going OMG im too late, look at all of these people who bought for pennies. I have to pay LITERALLY 100 times as much as they did.  Keep your chin up brother. you are SUPER early to this game. We aren't even on vircurex, btc-e, or cryptsy yet. |

i really think the solution is obvious. an optional user specified secondary password. or a manual salt. this would be a password that you could be sloppy with. upload it in plaintext to google drive for example. Store a second copy in plain text in a text file on your desktop. hell you could even post it here in this thread. even if every nxt user publicly broad-casted his second password, it would expand the total keyspace that brute forcers would need to search 15,000 times making brute forcing 1/15000th as profitable and it would be orders of magnitude more effective than that if they were sloppy with them but didn't actually post it publicly.
This could just be a modification to the client where it would display a second field under password that would be grayed out unless you checked a box saying that you wanted to use a secondary password. then the client could simply tack it on to the end of the first password behind the scenes. it really would be an almost totally superficial change to NRS that would cut the profitability of rainbow tables down to a fraction of what it is now.

I have 4 NXT. I have no clue what the point of this currency is.
That was an insightful and important comment.  Well here is maybe something better, with POS there is no way I can generate. Therefore I would have to buy more NXT which is actually more difficult right now than it seems. Sure, the exchanges like BTER exist to do that. However, at the same time, the amount needed to forge more coins is extremely high and an amount that I don't have to spend. Therefore, this coin is basically useless to someone like me, and is mostly for those that had giveaway coin, or have money to throw at it. For those that have lots of it, it's nice to have a coin become worth a lot of money, but for those that don't, what's the point of even trying to be part of the community. That is such a contradictory comment, that's the whole point of POS, if you own Nxt you can forge more Nxt. The amount of Nxt needed to forge is 1. If you own BTC, it just sits there, you don't earn any more, you have to invest in expensive mining equipment. So with Nxt, instead of buying depreciating mining equipment, you buy appreciating Nxt, to forge. Why is that so hard to understand. You're correct, I forgot to use a qualifier. I cannot generate anything in a meaningful way. I have read statements such as this, "It's simple. You need to buy a few more millions of NXTs, and then you will have a realistic chance for getting some significant reward." which speak to my plight. This currency seems to be a "rich get richer" or "pay to play" mentality. While it is fine if you have the stake to play, for those wanting to join that do not, have no chance at all. I just don't think this currency is designed for the majority. I still need to read the above link that was posted, however. This analysis of the large stake holder having an advantage over the small stake holder falls away when you take into consideration opportunity costs. A rich person with a million nxt does have the ability to forge more than someone with 1000 nxt but he has also foregone 1000 times as many opportunities as the person with 1000 nxt has. Now granted he has the advantage that is conferred by being wealthier in general. But no net advantage over the small stake holder from the forging specifically. |

I dont think any single approach would be right. You would probably want to use solar where you could but most of your power would have to come from a wind turbine. there is a ton of wind power at sea. i really dont think power would be a big issue as windy as it is out there. you would probably want to use these kind to keep your boat from capsizing. http://hacknmod.com/hack/next-gen-wind-energy-you-have-never-seen/ you dont see sailboats using wind power now because it would create too much drag while traveling. but if your boat spent a lot of time anchored at sea than it would become practical. How about tidal energy? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Iq-h4ShZ8swe would probably need something that could be dangled from the bottom of the vessel by a tether. idk if you could do that with the turbine from the video but maybe. What ever solution one comes up with it must be mobile. it can be rooted to the sea floor like what we see in the video. Those big red snakes maybe? http://youtu.be/fet4bCYvmLwThe thing is all of those are closed sourced patented solutions. you would probably have to be a little bit too close to the shore. i bet the basic design of the wind turbine i linked up there could be applied to creating a marine turbine. |
