If that's true, the marketing committee needs to step up their game. |

But you need more than soundbytes, you need speakers who breath NXT. Don't look to existing Bitcoin people, everybody I know is crazy overwhelmed with projects right now, you need to self-organize and make this happen.
Speaking in public is not impossible or even difficult, and I'm sure many of your stakeholders do it for work all the time. Time to pull them out, rip the masks off a few of you and put your name on the line because if you aren't willing to, nobody else is going to do it for you.
My name is Ricky Roberson and I'm ready to put my name on the line and speak out for NXT anytime. I already have. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1oqFRROW7MI thought you did really well, watched it last week. Thank you. I am working on a rather lengthy essay that I am going to put up in the next 48 hours on the new NXT Simple Machine forum site that I will PM you a link to when posted. This is on an aspect of the NXT / Bitcoin dynamic I haven't seen discussed anywhere else that I believe you will be extremely interested in. Please let me know what you think of it when you read it, possibly it might be of interest to cover in your podcast. Best wishes. My one critique is when you're at a bitcoin conference, it would be better to say that NXT does many of the same things as Bitcoin, plus more, so Bitcoin is like a Toyota and NXT is like a Benz (or something) - You want to imply they are seperate but equal, each with its own advantages (bitcoins primary is that it was first and is biggest). I sorta feel like you came off as saying NXT is better than Bitcoin and right now thats hard to argue objectively. Also consider your audience. Your job is education, which is best without attitude. I agree I came off too strongly and must moderate that in the future. My public speaking skills are a little rusty and haven't been used for a while but I am willing to get them out of the closet and get back into the saddle and start a continuous improvement process. I also probably came off a bit too strong in the ad copy I wrote up for the conference brochure : http://nxt.sx/images/resources/NXT-Brochure-4.pdfThe Texas Bitcoin Conference was my initial plunge into real-world involvement with cryptocurrencies and it was a HUGE eye-opener to me. In any event, I am a great believer in trying to improve and follow good advice such as yours, and I will. |

Who are you trying to appeal to? Maybe people on this forum but few others would stay past the first few clips. You guys need to create your own content. I have loved what Kris has done with the NXT Minute, I think its the perfect mix of update and invitation. It's obvious you guys are doing stuff and making decisions, the community is active and growing and you're one of the leading players in the 2.0 game.

James, I am not going to question or even comment further on any of your ideas. It seems to me that every time I do, you take it as distracting neanderthal personal attack and threaten to quit NXT development because both your work and your vision for NXT is so unappreciated. This is never my intention. I have only intended to initiate respectful, honest debate on critically important topics.
I do not believe it is appropriate that you have someone you apparently consider to be an ongoing adversary to serve as a treasurer for the funds you control. Please identify whom you trust to serve in this role and upon their concurrence I will deliver to them passcodes to NXTcommunityfunds, NXTcashoperatingfund and NXTcashcompletionfund.
Best wishes to you and to NXT.
Ricky I would appreciate if you return the NXTcashoperatingfund to me because I decided to give this 1M NXT to a common fund the early adopters/big stakeholders committee will form (official announcement in the following hours) so it can be handled by the community for various projects (including anonymity features) - better to do it more officially rather than James handling the whole chunk, I am sure he will agree.. EDIT: The community should be aware that a big part of the early adopters will ONLY fund from now on in this way - the committee is made exactly for this reason, transparency, fairness and optimal management of resources (both ours and the community's). Klee, I have sent the NXTcash passcodes to you at your gmail address and the NXTcommunity one to neer at his gmail address, using the system we previously discussed. I just feel I have rubbed James the wrong way one too many times, and he deserves to have his funds disbursed from somebody that he will feel is not at odds with his decisions. I have no negative feelings of animosity towards anyone. This is an amazing community filled with brilliant and wonderful people, especially you, James. I remain invested in NXT and will work for its success. Hey, guys, thanks for the bears. And beers. To da moon! |

Hey now... take it easy there... the discussion ended when CIYAM informed the Nxt community that it could be done through AT... thus making it a non-issue... poll should be ended/locked... and you need to hold on to the passcodes... PERIOD!  Poll has been locked as requested. My request to James that he identify an alternate treasurer stands. |

NXT will be releasing its Asset Exchange (currently in beta test) within the next few weeks. The default currency or currencies to be used in purchasing assets is undecided.
This poll has been locked.

But initially, yes everything must be denominated in terms of Nxt until we are bigger than Bitcoin. Otherwise it's kind of like free advertising for them.
+ 1 Billion NXT |

This is why we MUST allow denominating AE trades in any other asset. USD, BTC, EUR, JPY, GLD, WTI, BCO, etc.
Does anybody really think that allowing trades to be denominated in USD (or BTC or ...) will do anything other than help NXT? It wont affect USD to any noticeable degree.
Bitcoin is our bitter enemy that has a HUGE head start and will destroy us if they can, possibly without even realizing or caring that they have. Creating an NXT exchange and then just saying, "welcome to our nice shiny new exchange and go right ahead to price stuff in the BTC currency that is used by 90%+ of all transactions now instead of pricing them with our struggling-to-be-born NXT currency" just seems crazy and suicidal to me. That is why we MUST allow denominating AE trades only in NXT (or maybe USD since THAT won't affect NXT (or help Bitcoin) to any noticeable degree). Look at it this way. Let's start with NXT-only asset denomination and let it go for six months or a year or whatever. If it doesn't work, THEN open it up to BTC asset pricing. You can always start with NXT only asset pricing and open up later to BTC/Doge/etc pricing LATER. You can NEVER go back to NXT only pricing if you START with open pricing of all PoW sh*tcoins, the howls of protest would be overwhelming and kill us. Doesn't it make sense to initially at least TRY to run an exchange with ONLY the coin WE CREATED AND ARE TRYING TO BREATHE LIFE INTO?
P.S. If we end up helping BTC by .01% is that really such a bad thing? After all, how BTC goes, all crypto goes at least for the near future. Once we have billions of dollars of trading in NXT AE, then BTC wont matter much anyway.
It's gonna matter a lot when BTC pricing chokes out NXT pricing of assets as more and more Bitcoin users flock to our exchange and never make the switch to being NXT users for anything more than tiny exchange fees. |

I want to have a REALISTIC path to the first lines of my response. I do not believe that finding a generous billionaire to pump in lots of money will happen unless I see pink unicorns outside my window. Just checked, no unicorns pink or otherwise.
NXT has other things that will add to its market cap, I am just talking about the market cap contribution of AE.
The REALISTIC path for insane levels of NXT market cap growth is the same REALISTIC path that Bitcoin has followed and is following now. It's not one billionaire pumping in lots of money. It's billions of people pumping in a little bit of money each. Bitcoin has under 2 million users and it got over half of them in the last six months. There's 300 million people in China on the internet. Most of the volume in NXT growth is from BTER = Chinese who haven't decided yet if Bitcoin or NXT is their cryptocurrency of choice. If you think that incredible levels of market utilization growth and value growth are all behind us instead of in front of us for the yet-to-be-crowned king of cryptocoin... think about it some more. We are all still on the chain getting pulled up to the first drop on the roller coaster ride. 1 NXT = $1000 means NXT reaches the ballpark where Bitcoin is now after five years of utilization and growth. If that's not your goal for where we are at the end of OUR first five years, you're not dreaming big enough. |

Sorry Ricky, you broke the rule about magically changing the NXT market cap much higher.
By restricting to NXT trading, <scenario>
Please, without using magic, tell me how anybody would sell $1 billion USD worth of assets for NXT.
James
I guess ya gotta make a decision on whether NXT will appreciate most in value by expanding itself into the role of becoming the premier 1.0 currency or by restricting itself to the role of being a the premier 2.0 trading asset exchange. Looks like ya can't have both.... Guess we need to decide for our mission statement if we are most interested in maximizing value to our NXT stakeholders or to billion dollar asset listers on our exchange. |

Make 8 decimal points. You never know.
My vote for quote of the week. My vote for runner-up up is what I added to my original post: 1 NXT = $1000 means NXT reaches the ballpark where Bitcoin is now after five years of utilization and growth. If that's not your goal for where we are at the end of OUR first five years, you're not dreaming big enough. |

Im thinking to invest some more in NXT, can somebody give me a good reason to do this? Because its already for months up and down around 7500 satoshi.
That ain't bad for a coin that didn't even exist 120 days ago. Just wait until we get our act together. And we will. |

[Math Lesson]
Q1. Do you want USD assets to exist within NXT AE?
Yes
Q2. How much USD assets do you want deposited into NXT AE?
a) $100,000 USD
b) $1 million USD
c) $1 billion USD
d) $100 billion - ten times current Bitcoin market capitalization
Q3. If all AE trades are denominated in NXT, then how do you propose actually dealing with $1 billion USD deposit.
NXT decimalization, preferably to at least six places (0.000001 NXT) to accommodate both microfee payments and $100 billion total asset exchange valuation. With NXT = $1000 each, a $1 billion asset would be worth 1M NXT and we could handle 1000 of these on the exchange. At this valuation, a NXT coin price is 30% less than the CURRENT price of a one-ounce gold coin and total available NXT = 1 trillion dollars (only 5% of CURRENT US Federal debt) and 1 USD = 0.001 NXT and 1 cent = 0.00001 and one NXT usage fee would be 0.000001 NXT or one-tenth of 1 cent.
1 NXT = $1000 means NXT reaches the ballpark where Bitcoin is now after five years of utilization and growth. If that's not your goal for where we are at the end of OUR first five years, you're not dreaming big enough.
Q4. Are you still 100% sure that you want to restrict all AE trading to be in NXT?
Hell yes.
