That'd be awesome if you could upload your conference presentation to YouTube.

Truly exciting to see the speed at which NXT continues to evolve!

Thanks!
I want test NXT

For ~12USD, NXT is a lot of fun, even if you don't take it seriously at first. If you can afford to issue your own asset and MS altcoin, the educational value alone is worth every last NXT!

Agreed, in addition, one would need cross-blockchain smart contract in order to handle collateral loan, isn't it?

I strongly suspect that will be one of many fine SuperNET attributes, given the altcoins / blockchain technologies (i.e. MaidSafe) that it has partially / fully integrated (or is in process of).

Counterparty or similar token backed by stable, redeemable commodity. I made a goofy comment elsewhere about this, but a Tidecoin (literally backed by jugs of Tide laundry detergent) would probably be as close to ideal as you could get. Worst case scenario, you have to actually use the overpriced shit -- but its use as a laundry detergent does give it some... "near-objective" value.

That said, "non-productive" collateral is still a bad kludge to a practically unsolved problem which needs to be fixed properly. Cars make sense for collateral because people need them, and they usually need the exact car they bought on loan, and, for that reason, a loan officer probably isn't going to issue another car loan to the same person while he still has an outstanding car loan. Same with houses and home improvement/repair loans. -But a lendee doesn't really "need" litecoin or XRP or whatever, and there's a good chance the collateral will be worth significantly less than when collateral was negotiated. Normally, in a repo event, the collateral would be sold around FMV with the proceeds used to REDUCE the loan amount - but because collections are almost impossible with crypto-loans between people separated by hundreds or thousands of miles, the lender being made whole is still extremely unlikely. On the flip-side, a malicious lender may hold collateral hostage, demanding FMV be paid for the collateral to be returned, and it's unlikely the lendee would have viable recourse.

Agreed, overall. However, Smart Contracts would at least bind the loan / collateral to the blockchaian it was issued to; whereby making it a legally-enforceable contract between the buyer and the seller (or two traders, in the case of a barter arrangement).

NXT does start to address this issue with the ability to issue a NXT-backed MS altcoin held in escrow via Smart Contract; based on the defined properties and terms (i.e. block height expiry, etc.) The SAE currently has a relatively primitive Smart Contract available, albeit the true power of Smart Contracts is rumoured to be released around v1.7 or 1.8 of the NXT wallet client.

how about asking for different % of collateral depending on the assets in the poll?
how would you rate them?

Good point, considering that an asset could be used as either a promissory note of types (i.e. crowdfund profit-share) or a token representing a specific value (i.e. digital goods, physical goods, services, etc.)

This bitcointalk thing isnt all bad.

A refreshing break, indeed, from the usual hatemongering. NXT will prevail!

I'd also like to point out that EvilDave posted a stat in another thread indicating that ~40% of NXT is now forged by little guys and gals, not just 'whales'.

MS will definitely enhance a fair NXT distribution over time. Focus on the NXT tech awesomeness, rather than the investment it took to get it where it is today, and a balanced conversation starts to emerge.

Here's a handy MS PDF guide via Google Docs:

Enjoy!

I think NXT assets rank very high up there in terms of risk for similar reasons, although if you are more familiar with the NXT marketplace this may not be the case

And that's the key right there... becoming familiar with the SAE: A truly underrated beast of a platform.

At the time of writing, 1 NXT is worth 1 transaction (in most cases). Thus, the value of 10 NXTs is the ability to buy 10 standard transactions, like those described above. That basically means if you have n NXTs in your wallet, you can buy n transactions from the network.

Ironically, this is precisely what I was thinking right after issuing my first MS coin.... "Sweet, I still got __ NXT left to cover transactions." Great article in showcasing the true value of NXT!

NXT is simply the Linux of crypto: complicated, powerful, de-centralised, completely open and somewhat controversial.
If NXT critics would prefer to give their hard-earned cash to a more corporate/centralised project, there are plenty to choose from.  
 

Damn accurate analogy. Several years ago, I was forced to try an old beat up. scratched to hell Ubuntu coz windoze permacrashed (imagine that). Since then, I have never looked backed. I completely see NXT in the same regard.

Those with the patience to "get" NXT have opportunities that would be considered almost Johnny Mnemonic-like Sci-Fi even as recent as a decade ago. I am definitely all chips in w/NXT [aka AltcoinWarrior on the NXT forum].
14  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin will take everything down with it. on: January 15, 2015, 07:23:53 AM
No altcoins without Bitcoin. At least it'll be 100x harder to buy altcoins if exchanges are gone.

Food for thoughts.

Whether by design or sheer luck in timing I know not... but the NXT platform is definitely a strong contender for the inevitable.

You've definitely been hard at it, looks awesome!

Checked out your news site project - love it! Just sent you an article.

IMHO It's not, Email Marketing is not as successful as it seems but if you still wanna give it a shot, go for it and see how it goes.

Definitely not what it used to be.

Brilliant premise, added to watchlist

And it won't be in Java. Lol.

dude it can be written in paper for all i care! as long as it works and solves centralization!
if java is so vulnerable has anyone broken nxt yet? it looks like a nice sum of bounty on it.

im pretty sure most people who was once against nxt has already changed their perspective on nxt after all it has proven itself.
People are afraid of what they don't understand. that's what happened when nxt decided to stand out to be the first 2.0 crypto.
Let's face it, nxt opened the doors to a whole new level of crypto 2.0 competition, just like bitcoin, nxt is an innovator!

ps. you may have registered longer than other peoples but you certainly don't look like you have as much experience. XRP is BANK 2.0 it has it's own needs and has its own potential but it is not a crypto-currency, it is centralized.

Totally agreed. NXT is what got me to take the whole 'Crypto 2.0' thing seriously. Strong dev support made it an even easier decision.
