I've just had a nice surprise: Swisscex just sent me private keys for my LTC, POT and NOB balances. Haven't actually tried to import the coins to a wallet yet, but this is a good sign. Looks like they are doing their best to get balances out of Swisscex and back to accountholders.

SuperNET isn't NXT, and SN distribution has absolutely sod all to do with NXT distribution. So, nope, that doesn't fly. And as for SN having anon devs, there are plenty of non-anon thieves around, so that argument doesn't work either. I've watched how both projects have run since their inceptions, and I haven't seen anything yet to contradict BTCDdevs post. All we've seen from BlockNet so far is a lot of marketing and no code, whereas SuperNET has pretty close to no marketing and lots of code, some of which actually works.

First off....do a lot of research. Just thinking that you can effectively mine Bitcoin on a laptop suggests that you have a lot to learn, but take it from us, don't mine anything on it unless you are willing to see a seriously reduced lifespan for the laptop. Crypto-currency isn't the easiest thing to get into for a complete newbie, so I suggest that you start here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptocurrencyand then go here: http://coinmarketcap.com/all/views/all/take the top 10 currencies on CMC and research them all thoroughly. CMC provides website and forum links for each currency, just to make it easy. Once you've done that lot, you should have a basic understanding of the crypto-currency scene.

I personally like CMC, and spend way too much time lookng at it, but it's not the only way to measure success. Take a look at CoinGecko as an example of an alternative approach.

Here's a couple of NXT videos:

If the OP is actually serious.....they could easily use the NXT Monetary System to issue a Liberland currency. If you need any more information, come on over to: www.nxtforum.organd ask.....

Any theories on the NXT price increase today?
Looks to me like the entire Chinese alt-crypto market got a massive investment surge, with NXT being one of the main beneficiaries: This is sorted on volume....and if you check the markets, it's mostly BTC38 xxx/CNY markets leading the pack. Now, I'm gonna go and gloat over my 300 Blackcoins.

No one argues that the PLATFORM can be "useful". The question is does that usefulness add value to the coin or the project at large?
Yes. To use the platform you need to pay the transaction fees. Any and all successful use cases will add to buy demand for Nxt and add value if sustained over time. The question then is even more basic: Since the platform is very successful and the increase in business (and scams) has been and continues being nothing short of exponential, the "transaction fees" must be mighty inappropriate (where do they go? --oh wait, don't answer that, it is my understanding that they go, 99.99% to the holders of the majority of NXT, right?), since, obviously, such success, as posted above, has only brought the decimation of the price of NXT to les than 1/4 of what was only weeks ago, right? Or am I missing something here? TX fees go 100% to forging (ie actively participating in the network) accounts: https://nxtblocks.info/#section/blockexplorer_chartshttps://nxtblocks.info/#section/blockexplorer_distributionSome of the stuff you are missing: Decimation would actually mean that NXT was at 90% of its previous price....and could you tell me exactly how many weeks ago NXT was at 3.6 dollarcents ? Is it 50 weeks or 52 ? We do have a name for these longer time periods, B. Still, good tactic.

yay, Monday.... As mentioned by Armis, here's the video of the initial Drachmae project seminar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=VJR6nKSTULsAnd, just to get all our ducks in a row, here is the following conference/seminar, May 20: http://www.drachmae.money/expos/inv2/Note that registration is free, so you can look on as a networking opportunity if nothing else. barabbas and altcoinuk are more than welcome to come along and provide some reasoned counter-arguments. And here's the Wiki: http://www.drachmae.info/index.php/Talk:Main_PageOriginal op-ed piece from BK: http://www.cnbc.com/id/102663713Addressing a couple of points: @tokeweed This isn't a NXT-run project......we were invited to participate, just like everyone else on the Wiki. If NXT was the only component to this plan, then even I would say that it was completely batshit crazy. We can provide some of the technology, and some of the brainstorming and planning, but not all of it, by a long way. @armis Yep, the scale is pretty huge. And, yep, I expect that it will take months to create a solid proposal, and probably years to fully implement it. Got anywhere else you need to be?

Are the NXT people in contact with the officials of Greece? I think that should be the first step.
The probability that NXT provides Greece with any kind of solution about anything is lot less than Aphrodite will jerk off Pericles on the Acropolis front of the excited Leonidas, which event's probability is rather small knowing that the two aforementioned gentlemen are dead and the woman probably never ever existed. I have debate with the NXT hardcore cheerleaders all over the place about NXT which used by absolutely nobody except the funders who dump the thing on the naive new investors. For that reason, the hype must go on by coming up all kind of nonsenses like this Greece bollocks - so the funders of the coin can keep continue dumping this entirely useless thing. First, NXT perhaps should answer the generic problem of all altcoins: why no one is using altcoins at all for any meaningful purposes? First off, The Drachmae project isn't all about NXT, check the Wiki: http://www.drachmae.info/index.php/Talk:Main_PageNXT could be an important component, but there is no way that it can supply everything needed. Thats why the project is open to anyone with good ideas or useful tech, like Factom, Ethereum, Blackcoin/Halo, JetCoin.....if you have something to contribute, bring it on. How in the name of Hades can you bitch us up for presenting a real world usecase for altcoins, and then ask why no-ones using alts ? Is engaging with the European financial, business and political worlds not 'meaningful' enough for you ? Any road up....if you need to vent more, comment here: http://www.cnbc.com/id/102663713

Evildave, why are you even asking about BK? I just checked the drachmae WIKI page and it's all about NXT and JetCoin - nothing about NAUT. I don't get it.
Call me Mr. Curious The serious answer is that I do like to know who I'm working with. I like the Drachmae project in all it's ambition, I'd certainly like to take it further and see where it ends up, providing it is a reasonably legitimate, mostly sane project. The replies I've seen here give me the feeling that BK is most likely a trustworthy guy, which is good news. Thanks. On the plans for NAUT: I have no idea. You'd be better off asking BK directly..... Right now, my involvement with Drachmae is purely NXT-related. Here's the orignal CNBC piece, if you lot haven't seen it yet. http://www.cnbc.com/id/102663713

When Liberland indicated a willingness to consider crypto currency as a favored currency, NXT as a community snubbed it..... ---cut bits---
Hah....found the NXT thread on Liberland, after a bit of searching: https://nxtforum.org/general-discussion/urgent-why-no-body-is-voting-fot-nxt-as-official-liberland-%27-currency/Think I was having a little break from crypto at the time, I hardly even noticed it up until now. Someone should maybe have a chat directly to the Liberland guys, whoever they may be. See how they are shaping up. Or we could just push NEM up for the job...... Seriously, the Liberland proposal could maybe work, but no-one seems to be willing to step up and take lead on getting it sorted, which is probably the main reason it went nowhere with NXT. Hosting the poll on F*c*book didn't help either. On the Greek rescue plan: this is an extremely ambitious project, to say the least. I'm not exactly expecting the entire European financial world to drop to their knees and say "YAY, crypto, that's the answer!" and then go down the pub while we sort out Greece......but just getting a coherent outline proposal using blockchain tech from vatious sources will be a very useful exercise, even if nothing else comes out of it. Right now, it looks like a slightly mad plan, even from my point of view, but there are quite a few non-crypto organisations who are interested.....and anything that brings crypto to the attention of the mainstream in a positive way is worth giving a shot. Next step is Conference number 2 on the subject, May 20th: http://www.drachmae.money/expos/inv2/Maybe someone will invite some Greeks to come along... and Armis can bring PICISI along for some networking and discussion of MS currency integration on exchanges/brokers: http://nxter.org/picisi-crowdfunding-project-will-use-nxt-monetary-system/

FFS.....I'm getting very bored with seeing this constant NEM vs NXT bickering. It's becoming totally frigging pointless.
Why don't you go tell that to Eadeqa (not to mention the rest of them)? Er, thought I did......that was for everyone: NXT, NEM, whoever. By now, we've all heard the same arguments over and over, so would it kill y'all to give it a rest for a while ? If you're bored, btw, you could always drop some Tweets/Likes on this: http://www.cnbc.com/id/102663713Comments are welcome, provided they stay relatively sane. Also: http://www.drachmae.info/index.php/Talk:Main_Page

Both communities should be able to find something better to do than snipe at each other.

B ! You are turning into a right NXT sceptic. Anyhow, on with the show, B can skip this bit: I'm contributing to a blue-sky Greek rescue proposal, in co-operation with a loose coalition of crypto projects, businesses and VCs. Heres an overview of the project so far: http://www.drachmae.info/index.php/Main_Pageand here's the discussion: http://www.drachmae.info/index.php/Talk:Main_PageUp to speed so far ? http://www.cnbc.com/id/102663713is an op-ed piece on the project by one of the backers, could you lot please share it on Twitter/FB/whatever and maybe add some comments?If this story gets further picked up by the mainstream, it could get a lot of exposure for NXT and crypto in general. Thanks......and, if you do comment, please be friendly. This is a co-operative project, not a competition.

Sheesh, B. Cast your eyes over here: https://twitter.com/BKBrianKellyThis isn't just me making stuff up on a boring Saturday night, this project has serious backing from outside the crypto world. It may never provide an ultimate solution to Greeces issues, but a lot of interesting stuff could happen. Come on over to the seminar, if you get some spare time, and see exactly who's involved. http://www.drachmae.money/expos/inv2/

Good try, B, but you'd be wrong on most points. How can you even have an scary and intimidating crypto platform ? Does NXT come round your house with a couple of pitbulls ? Enormously complex, tens of thousands of sources, years of study ?.......come on, it's not that difficult. And you don't need a ten-foot pole either....... If you want to know about NXT......just go to the forum, d/l the latest version, install and use it. https://nxtforum.org/If you have any questions after that, just ask. Or, you could take a look at one of the latest NXT-related projects: http://www.drachmae.info/index.php/Talk:Main_Pagehttp://www.cnbc.com/id/102663713bring your pole........
