Hope you are OK, man!
We'll keep the nest warm for you in reddit, I'm sure.
If you can, drop us a line in PM sometime.
No need to be sorry, go do what you have to do!

I'm staying out of the rest of the discussion for now, but will say that they work for Samsung and Vodafone, so they should at least be able to deliver.

However, just in case it's hot air (we are talking marketing people here ), this is exactly why I propose to give them the Nxt on completion. 

Keep discussing, no need to make it too easy for these guys 

You are all great!

Nearly at the first goalpost in one day!

People, next week on Sunday I am having a meeting with three designers and how they could contribute.

To reiterate: they have their own design company, and would like to help.
However, this will not be totally for free (at least, I don't want them to do it for free, I want them to be paid in Nxt, so they will be linked to Nxt and have incentive to keep adding value to it )

I want to try and pull the whole Nxt "image" together into one unified whole, so we can present this at conferences and all outward communication.
People will of course be free to not use it, but at this moment the amount of images and press material is all over the place. Let's make it easy for people to get it, so people can quickly set up press initiatives or conferences, even at a few hours notice, if needs be,

I would like:

- ideas about what the "image" of Nxt should be, in emotional terms: powerful, playful, happy etc.
- ideas about colours.
- input on what we need: stationary, business cards, sites, cars, planes
- promotional gifts?: USB cards, pens, pins?

I also would like to request 30,000 Nxt in funds to be able to give to them for delivery of these things (and others we might need). This is a normal fee for a complete corporate image and it would help enormously. This way I can dangle a carrot in front of them big time and we will have a team that we basically hire. I've negotiated that this would be a one time fee for these services if we can get that whole team to agree. After that, I expect them to be hooked and earn their way themselves.

Personally, I think this is a bargain. We would have a repository of material where we could point people to. We will make t-shirts and cards etc. We can also ship them to people who need them. By "we", I mean "me and these guys" at this moment.

Seeing as we don't have a committee yet (do we?) I would like to tally "ayes" and "nays" in here.

The funds would go in a separate account, so nothing would be sent to me personally by the way. That is a no-no. I'm the inbetween guy, not the receiver.

Hopefully, you all like this idea. If you want more info, ask, and I will get it to you.

Didn't think you'd be this quick!

Hopefully this all will be solved in a manner we feel is good.
Good to get the personal details removed. You have them anyway.

Great!

How does/will this work?
Will people be able to register a charity they want/need funds for on this page?
Or will this be a place for showing them all together, maintained by the site owner?

Edit: didn't scroll down 
Disregard.



Nice!

I want to chip in on this question.

I've seen quite a few people here who felt uncomfortable with or opposed to spending community funds on these things.

That, combined with the need for speed, prompted me to accept being escrow and I proposed to start with purely private funding.

Our community has more than enough people to get to the needed 174,000 Nxt, I'm sure  
The fund received 12,000 Nxt in 12 hours. This is great! Another 10,000 Nxt and the media campaign can be started.

Donations welcome at: 4636321498642303120

If we decide to use some community funds at that point, or a bit later to bolster the fund some more, that's great, but I think the drive benefits more from having numerous people chipping in 100-250 Nxt than in us debating whether to dump 174,000 Nxt from the funds needed for marketing. Somehow that feels shallow and easy, turning a charity into a marketing show.

This way we get the best of both worlds: genuine charity from private people ánd marketing.

On a related note: The treasurers have been appointed a week ago. How are the committees coming? It's been quiet on that front.

Wow, that went quickly!

24,452 Nst already donated!

just another 10,000 Nxt and Nifty and Justabit can push this with the media

I also like that there is a mix of big and small donations. Doesn't matter if it's 10 or 10,000 Nxt, it's a community effort

Also confirming in here that I hold the account and that it is 4636321498642303120.

The first goalpost is about 35,000 Nxt, so Nifty and Justabit can start posting press releases.

That's 24,000 Nxt that needs to be donated for the first goalpost

Private funding, too. Whether for charity or marketing, that's a bargain. 

Confirming that account 4636321498642303120 is the account to donate to and that I am responsible for these funds.

Let's make this a good one! I am also sending 1000 Nxt to this account to start.

I've tested both ClieNXT and dotNXT and they work well. It's a matter of taste.

NXT Wallet by wesleyh looks to be very nice, but only works with the Testnet for now and hasn't got full functions yet.

I haven't tried DGEX's Offspring client yet.

Edit: I never used a .bat file for Nxt, so can't answer the other question.

I have some issues, too 



(j/k, It's good for me)

Glad to be of help.
It's a big read, but you'll pick up the basics in no time.
Enjoy the ride!

No problem at all.
You might want to join us over at /r/Nxt on reddit or on the forums at https://forums.nxtcrypto.org/
It's much easier to get questions answered in there than in this monstrosity of a thread 

Hope you will enjoy your Nxt.

Hello,

You seem to be new and might not know what "testcoins" are.

Testcoins are only usuable on the Nxt Testnet and will not show up in the normal account.

For using the "normal" Nxt you will need a client, which you can get here

With that, you can use and test Nxt.

The testnet can be reached on http://holms.cloudapp.net:6874/

You can use http://nxtsolaris.wordpress.com/ or http://nxtra.org/nxt-client/ to access it.

Hope that helps.

This is true.
As I say, there is as yet no centralised marketing plan.

I am plugging the testing as hard as I can in every article that I write and mention it (even if I have to shoehorn it in) on reddit answers, too.

At this point, I again come to the part where I say there isn't enough info to actually "promise" anything yet.

We see in the testing phase that some things that were put on the wiki (trading real world commodities) require much more work than previously thought.

So basically what I do is mention that this is a real possibility and that devs are working on it: preparing the ground without an ETA, but planting the idea.

I would think that this could be easily extended to a bigger strategy.

Do we even know when it will be released? (short answer: no)

I think ANY action is good at the moment. See it as a test run. We can do more if it is succesful.
I would like it even more if it is privately funded. That would show the *community* gives, not the "community fund"

With the current value of Nxt it shouldn't be thát hard to get a few thousands worth together
