After quite dry weeks we have some articles prepared, I have got it in the OneNote, but it should be here too, especially for NxtMinnow who will be writing new articles and for others to know which topics are finished.

The fact is we had many weeks without texts and now he have 10 prepared texts. That's why we shouldn't publish all of them within 1 week but save something for the dry days, if they come. But it looks like there won't be dry days anymore. We will see.

New text for Nxt video and partial parts for Nxt decentralized internet video
by: Salsacz
Proofread et voiceover: Joefox

What is Nxt?
2.   Right now, Nxt is completely decentralized digital currency. It is very fast, secure and green. All transactions and accounts are stored on the network.

3.   As a second generation cryptocurrency, Nxt has a lot to offer. There is no such thing as Bitcoin mining in Nxt, which means control of the network cannot be centralized in a data centre in Iceland. To maintain the Nxt network, users are rewarded with fees in return for generating blocks of transactions. This is how Bitcoin will work once all new coins are mined in 100 years.

4.   Nxt’s code already supports colored coins, which is method for designating specific coins and tying them to physical property. This lets Nxt run a decentralized asset exchange that can be used to trade Nxt for other goods - everything from other currencies to physical objects.  How does this work?  You send your asset to the Nxt exchange gateway and the gateway issues the asset on the Nxt network by creating colored coins to represent it.  Your asset is then transferable on Nxt, and can be traded with anyone. You can already use it as a kickstarter for crowdfunding projects.

5.   Nxt also has many social features. The Alias System can turn your Nxt account number into almost any name you want. You can use secure, private mechanisms for sharing DNS names, phone numbers, account numbers, and more. In addition, you can use the distributed, peer to peer network to chat and send messages to other users from the Nxt client interface. Nxt also implements a decentralized Voting System, so that users can collaborate to make important decisions, such as releasing the source code for the Nxt project to the public.

6. Nxt's Arbitrary Messages feature leads us to the true decentralized web.  A “ essage” can be any small piece of data, so it has broad potential - for example, torrent files have already been sent via this network. In the future, With multiple parallel blockchains running side-by-side, Nxt will be able to provide cloud storage and file sharing apps. These applications will be able to use different blockchains for different purposes: one for file storage, one for messages, and so on. Each app will use only a specific blockchain(s) and won't be spammed by the others.

7. Very soon the first game built on top of the Nxt network will be published: a decentralized Poker game. Nxt will provide a platform for easy creation of new currencies. They will be maintained on Nxt blockchain, but they will have their own environment. Nxt also supports integrated, peer-to-peer exchanges so you don’t have to pay high fees to service providers. It is very simple to create new applications for Nxt. it is almost like Lego. Developers can build anything they imagine on top of Nxt.

8. Currently, Bitcoin and Nxt are only pseudonymous, but additional functions based on Zerocoin and coin mixing services , built on top of Nxt, can provide a completely anonymous infrastructure. With the Zerocoin algorithm integrated within NXT, it will be mathematically infeasible to link the particular coins used by each user.

9.   Nxt is not a copy of Bitcoin!  Nxt builds on the ideas behind Bitcoin, but does it all with completely new code, written from scratch. Why? Analysis has shown that Bitcoin uses 2,900 times more energy to power the network than Nxt and that Bitcoin costs 820 times more than Nxt to power the same network. As a result, the Nxt network is very energy efficient. Nxt doesn’t require massive amounts of computing power, so it's very low in power consumption.  You can even run Nxt on iPhones, Android devices, and $35 computers like the Raspberry Pi.

10. Nxt is one step ahead of all other decentralized platforms thanks to its start as a cryptocurrency. It is now ready to become a completely new decentralized network. Nxt provides a powerful and flexible platform for developers, allowing them to easily develop new applications for Nxt. Thanks to great community behind it, as evidenced by the thousands of pages on the Nxt Bitcointalk “pub” thread, Nxt has achieved an unbelievable amount in very little time. Anyone can join this fantastic group of open minded individuals and make a positive contribution. For more information see nxt.org

is it wrong to have a video about Nxt and decentralized internet 14 minutes long?

Depends. Target audience?
- Developers
- Snowden, Assange, Dotcom... and their fans

Guys I need some links for educating someone in NXT!

Is there any concerted effort being made to compile information to a single, comprehensive source? there are a lot of places to find info, and a lot of people putting out info, it may be a good idea and a good time for there to be an effort to consolidate and reorganize usable information to a single and definitive source and to coordinate this effort between the people who are working on it. There is so much info out there in so many sources, and in so many forms and styles that it is kind of confusing and really a lot of work to self educate on NXT; And there is no form of cohesion or method to its structure. There IS no single article, blog, interview, podcast, forum thread or any other media source that does it justice as a stand alone source of info. Anon136 was posting last night about how he felt he had given a bad interview on NXT, but that only stands to reason, as the nature of NXT makes it impossible to be educated on in a brief info session, and the lack of cohesiveness in the information that is available only serves to magnify this. It may be a good time to start a coordinated effort to supply a source of info that is more unified, accurate, and complete and is organized in a way as to accommodate specific targeted audiences (technical information seekers, and basic information seekers). I think it would serve the community better and make it seem like we had our stuff together a little more to pursue this. I have come into the community just recently and have spent a lot of time looking, and bugging people with questions to learn about NXT, and this has made me aware of this chink it the NXT armor. I think there is a lot of good info out there, and a lot of talented people who know a lot about NXT and care a lot. But with the way that NXT has grown and with the way that info about it is dispersed as a result of that growth it might be a good Idea to supply a more easy to access, consolidated source of info. Get everyone on the same page so to speak. If there were a group effort, coordinated and outlined for that purpose I think it would be beneficial to the growth of NXT, and would not burden one person with such a daunting task.

if there is an effort to do so, I would like to help if there is help needed. If there has not been such an effort I would like to suggest it and offer help.

Something like a NXT secretary, scribe, or archivist?
Yes. Something to compile existing info, clarify, update and fill in gaps or make more accurate. And also index info for easier access by different demographics. Now that it seems as though the structure of the network is coming together solidly, and details are being be made more concrete. It would be advantageous to have a ready supply of easily accessed info assembled. If there isn't something already. There is a lot more to NXT than it being a coin; it is capable of a lot more. I don't want the fact that people can be lazy and the fact that this info takes effort to find, sort through and digest to create an impression on people that it is just a coin. We should spoon feed the info and impression we want to make, and keep people from having to search around; eliminate redundancy, and provide info that is accurate and concise and propagates NXT in a light of the community interest.
here you have 30 pages about Nxt created from weeks of archivist works Cheesy (Nxt Myths)

thanks, Zahlen will be publishing an article about this:

- The 51% Attack - technical details, history of 51% attacks, how it ended, Nxt solution (is Nxt safer than other PoS currencies?) (Ghash's pool is risking Bitcoin's security again with 40% of the network's hashpower and no one is talking about it. Pools of PoW machines with enormous hashpower is Bitcoin's most pressing concern and biggest flaw right now. Nextcoin is the best answer to this. Why is it not being talked about more?) (= only my suggestions what could be there)

NXT FUNDING COMMITTEE VOTE IS NOW UNDERWAY UNTIL 12:15 AM MARCH 8 (UTC)


Does that mean that votes are limited to nominees and candidates by default ? just wondering.

Everybody gets to vote.  I have edited my original post to clarify.

I had hoped to have this better organized at this point, but I've had a bad week.  Sorry.

Hey, guys, if you would, please edit your quote of my vote post so only the corrected original one shows up in the thread here.  Thx.
I wouldn't mind to have even 10 committee members
