I'm working on this with QBTC, after the "branding" fell through.
I already collected surveys from Nxt members for this, but more are welcome.
The survey can be found here. We will collate this into a unified and understandable (ie. not all over the place) mission and vision.

QBTC is a professional in this field and I am very happy that she wants to help out with this as far as her time allows her to do.

For those who want: the survey can be found here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=412243.msg5487600#msg5487600
Answers can be posted in the marketing thread. I will then get them to QBTC and we will work on this.

Why call this FUD?
Word have power, and all "FUD" does is basically invalidate what he says, which is too harsh.
I see it as frustrated, but still valuable questioning. And not even all that frustrated, at that.
The post on reddit is quite mellow.
One of the brilliant things about forums is that you can read a post, think "what a piece of crap this is", fume, come back, and then look a bit more objectively and then take the time to rebut, without all the emotional intensifiers

"Spreading FUD" implies a hate campaign, which I don't see at all. I see someone who feels he is ignored on points he considers his key concerns. If someone feels those concerns need to be addressed, I feel it's better to applaud his commitment, rather than shove him out of the creative process. That's a part of an open discussion that might not be pleasant, but can lead to results.

I just want to add support for the untying idea, too.
Nxt should make sense in relation to itself. Trying to keep matching it to what happens with it in relation to outside entities will have us debating and jumping to keep up all the time.
If anything, it introduces extra variables that we *don't* control into the mix. Occam's Razor suggests we look to minimise the variables.

Even gave me a donation of 10 Nxt!  

For applications to the MC, people can be referred to this form, by the way: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1RjXJ0FbIbJBstIdsjzwpnVMW6751JVDCNXZXv4wvpkQ/viewform

Except the TF part. The VISA thing really must not be mentioned for now.
We will not be able to do it in the near future. That is so abundantly clear, it needs to be taken out in future press releases.

Love this

This is why you don't ignore people 

Thank you for giving to the community, Emule!

Correct.


I keep thinking "Diaspora".
What makes your project different?

I don't agree. Brian has concerns and at least talks without shouting. That alone takes me in for him
He may leave if things don't go his way, but just dismissing people is just is... rude.
It also deprives you from other views.

He's not leaving
He míght just be getting the price down so more people can buy.

Also: when someone sells, someone buys.
It's not as if the Nxt is running away 

This was klee, apparently

I believe it's a Thingamajig.

But it cóuld be a doohickey.  

Who has ever said the fees can't change to match the situation?

Because that is what this is predicated on.

Actually, for the projects I am doing, I can't.
Because I haven't asked for consent beforehand.

I believe that the project I do are strong and will be beneficial and will get interest.

The consent I am after is actual use. If I am wrong on that the projects will not take off.
That doesn't mean I have just started the projects out of the blue.
The predicted consent is based on knowledge of the market, like "people will use an easy to install, easy to use payment module for open source platforms"

For the community projects: consent is on the WHAT, not on the HOW.
People frequently mix that up.

Same here. Do people actually expect outside investors to want us to spread the complete plans in a public thread?
I have said more than a few times that I (and several others now) are in contact with a serious investor.
This person cannot allow us to share things in here until the deal is done. That is quite normal business practice.

Also, on the subject of developent:

- client that is easy and safe is on its way and will be included with normal Nxt releases.
- AE is being *rigorously* tested. This takes time. ETA was and is beginning of April. Why panic when it's not yet beginning of April. This has been common knowledge for a long time.
- Account Control features on their way
- Digital Good Store on its way
- Gen 1 payment modules on their way.

- Committees have been in place for *one week*: OH NO, they haven't had result yet? What a surprise!
Give us some time, people, we barely got started there.

There are loads of developments *behind the scenes*. Not because there is nothing to report, but because sometimes you need to work and not keep asking for opinions anymore.
I purposely don't ask opinions anymore sometimes because I don't need more input which will just force me to adjust plans again. There is a time for talk, and a time to get to work and actually get something done. Until the things are done, I won't inform people, because asking opinions on a half finished product never, ever works. You just get a thousand opinions based on a half finished product. I'd rather get opinions based on what my finished product works like and take it from there. That is much more productive.

If you want to panic and not take facts into account: feel free. Just don't pretend it's because nothing is happening. The last few weeks more than enough fact about things actually happening have been put in this thread, which is moving at a slower pace than before.

Things are going rather well, actually, regardless of the stressed feelings.  

Thanks for still keeping an eye out for us!

Whales dumping, followed by panic sell, followed by general grumpiness all round.

No rumour or fact

I have no idea what the "need" to even bring it up was.
I asked for proof, and none was provided.
There is a phrase for that: "spreading baseless rumors".

And that is just blegh in my book. And that's the last I will say about it.

Some people don't react because they are involved in other IPO's and can't use more that 24 hours in a day

Granted, you see a lot of negativity, but good things are being done, but just aren't all that visible for a variety of reasons right now
