Update 13: Bitcoin Conference Miami
This one is a big deal; we had a great meeting with Eric from ZipZap. JustaBit has talked with Zipzap quite a bit in the past for Peercoin, providing what they needed to make an informed decision about adding it to their platform. Today, Eric, myself, JustaBit and eB101 talked about how to move Nxt forward with Zipzap. Fantastic information, Eric is a straight shooter which I appreciate. JustaBit is willing to help facilitate this the same way he did with Peercoin. Once we're added to Vircurex and/or Cryptsy, we'll provide liquidity information to help push this forward.
Update 13b
It hasn't been made public yet, but JustaBit will be leaving the Peer community at the end of the month on great terms to work on a company we've been developing called CoinTropolis. He'll have much more bandwidth available for Nxt. If you're not familiar with ZipZap, you might want to start reading up now. Zipzap will allow us to get coins into the hands of Joe User for cash. This is the big leagues in crypto.
It was great to have eB101 with us during the meetings, I know he'll do a great job helping coordinate the International Nxt community.

Conference Update #12
eB101 and myself have been walking around shaking hands today and we started to discuss community organization on the international side. eB101 is heading to France very soon and has a couple meetings lined up to discuss Nxt and see if we can get some traction in that market.
I feel like we could use someone that is in charge of international initiatives so that we can have a coordinated and uniform marketing across all countries. eB101 said that he would be willing to step in that role and help out the community.
I would like to get the communities thoughts on this and see if we can make this happen.

Conference Update #11
I spoke with the guys at Hive today. They have a pretty slick OSX wallet that is super easy to use. They are about to expand to android as well as looking for a colored coins type of implementation to accept all cryptos.
I spoke with them about our Asset Exchange/Colored coins feature and they are wanting to get in contact to figure out our release time frame as well as the possibilities of using Nxt for this.
****ACTION ITEM****
We need to see if we can get a possible date for implantation, which may just be some research, and put together some other info for them and get our devs in contact with them.

Update 10 - Bitcoin Conference Miami
eB101 arrived early this morning, we're walking around... shaking hands and make final Nxt pitches at the conference. Had an opportunity to talk with the guys over a Bitshares, we talked about everything ranging from PoS to encouraging communities to continue to be extremely civil and educating people that either misunderstand (intentionally or not so intentionally) PoS and next gen systems. It was a great contact, we are eager to build relationships with other innovators in the space.
Btw, we just got out of the Entherium speech, interesting ideas. 2014 will certainly be the year of smart contracts/property.
were the guys "from" dogcoin there? Have not met anyone from doge here. The main reps were: - Bitcoin - Nxt - Bitshares - Etherium |

Update #9 - Bitcoin Update Miami
We sat down for lunch with one of the managing partners of Bit Angels. They have raised over 10 million dollars and looking to fund decentralized applications regardless of the platform. This could be a great funding opportunity down the road... in fact, there's a crypto shark tank that we'll talk about shortly that'll appear at Bitcoin Vegas. Had a great time talking about Nxt and look forward to following up on this initial meeting next week.
As we start to grow, it's important to focus on venture and angel investor involvement.

Update 8 - Bitcoin Coinference This might be one of the of most exciting updates. Justabit introduced me to the GoCoin (payment processor) team. We had an opportunity to talk about Nxt PoS and what separates it from the onslaught of other coins. JustaBit is passing on final information for Peer... once we have a solid wallet, GoCoin will be ready to look deeper into Nxt This was a great step and feel we opened up another door today. As a side note, JustaBit and I attended one of the panels that had GoCoin. JustaBit mentioned Nxt during the audience question segment and later in the meeting, GoCoin made a mention of Nxt and JustaBit stood up and said "Oh yeah".  Fun moment... I was surprised at how many people at least heard of Nxt in some fashion. |

Hey, NXT peoples ( and actors)
Other things:
Yay, Cryptsy!. Thats good news, to say the least.
Sounds great, but what's the source of this information? Our tired azzes at the Bitcoin Conference shaking more hands than I care to remember. |

Update 7 - Bitcoin Miami Conference Had a great conversation with the guys at CoinFlash ATM. They encouraged us to swarm the website to add Nxt, I will handle this early in the week. Great open source system that facilitates an easy way to add additional currencies. Once we end up on this ATM, we will use it as leverage to work our way on the rest of them. Look for a swarm early in the week.  |

Update 6: Bitcoin Miami Conference
JustaBit (who has worked with Bitcoin Magazine in the past for Peercoin and Feathercoin) introduced me to Bitcoin Magazine's Elizabeth. She was very receptive to Nxt, JustaBit spent some time outlining it's importance. They have a new head writer and wants us to follow-up with the Coindesk article. JustaBit will make this happen.

Update 5: Bitcoin Conference Miami
I had a change to talk to the team from Kraken Exchange. They seemed very receptive after explaining the tech (thanks to JustaBit for helping out with the initial conversation starter). I have the CEO information that I will follow-up on when I get back home early in the week. Peercoin did a great job of presenting their case, there were people in the Kraken eco-system that were already talking about it. Nxt was an easy transition talk with PoS.
Kraken team were great to talk to.

Update 4 - Bitcoin Conference Miami I had a chance to speak to Paul over at Cryptsy. Paul seemed to be very familiar with Nxt and is interested in integrating. This is not a confirmation but as close a possible. I understand their concerns, we need our development team to help show them the way ASAP. ** Action ** We need to match up CfB with Paul to handle any technical issues. I have Paul's info, I will match up our development team to push this forward. Fantastic job to the community for making them well aware of who we are! As a side note, talked to a LOT of people today about Nxt. There's a whisper about us at the conference, that's a fact. Will add further updates later |
