How about bitcoinjesus as a candidate for KokChewer ? They have a similar layout style and voice......

This is going to be interesting, putting it mildly.  It would have been difficult for you guys to find a more controversial UK politician but, hey, all publicity for the cause of crypto-currency is good. This could get spun by the UK right wing as 'crypto-currency is evil' but FTITCTAJ..........go, BlockNet! |

Summary: Some miners are currently generating invalid blocks. Almost all software (besides Bitcoin Core 0.9.5 and later) will accept these invalid blocks under certain conditions. The paragraphs that follow explain the cause more throughly.
For several months, an increasing amount of mining hash rate has been signaling its intent to begin enforcing BIP66 strict DER signatures. As part of the BIP66 rules, once 950 of the last 1,000 blocks were version 3 (v3) blocks, all upgraded miners would reject version 2 (v2) blocks.
Early morning UTC on 4 July 2015, the 950/1000 (95%) threshold was reached. Shortly thereafter, a small miner (part of the non-upgraded 5%) mined an invalid block--as was an expected occurrence. Unfortunately, it turned out that roughly half the network hash rate was mining without fully validating blocks (called SPV mining), and built new blocks on top of that invalid block.
Note that the roughly 50% of the network that was SPV mining had explicitly indicated that they would enforce the BIP66 rules. By not doing so, several large miners have lost over $50,000 dollars worth of mining income so far.
All software that assumes blocks are valid (because invalid blocks cost miners money) is at risk of showing transactions as confirmed when they really aren't. This particularly affects lightweight (SPV) wallets and software such as old versions of Bitcoin Core which have been downgraded to SPV-level security by the new BIP66 consensus rules.
The immediate fix, which is well underway as of this writing, is to get all miners off of SPV mining and back to full validation (at least temporarily). As this progresses, we will reduce our current recommendation of waiting 30 extra confirmations to a lower number.
Just for some extra clarity.......... For consumer level users: make sure that you (or your wallet provider) are on Bitcoin 0.9.5 or later, and wait for 30 confirmations on your transfers. For miners: stop SPV mining, validate everything or lose income. (and, obviously, transfer all your BTC into nice stable NXT....... )

Again, TS is lying. BIG surprise, kids. And it's not like I haven't corrected the idiot a zillion times before......I'm not sitting on a 50 million NXT stake, though I fervently wish that I was. I do have a founders stake in NEM, though, I'm sure that'll buy me an island.....or not.  I am sure that TaunSews lovely art and delightfully sane text will bring NEM to a whole new audience. Way to go, TS. You want to go and support Ripple for a while ? |

Hah! The photo is the fat slob reacting to how NxT is worth way less anymore (used to be closer to $100 million). Now it's full of bitter bagholders like DecentralizeEconomics and EvilDave who are waiting for a rebound so they can retire to the beaches in the Caribbean.
"NEM scam"
"Bitshares scam"
"everything but NXT a scam"
O rly ? Thanks for the explanation, TS. Just to be clear: is it my NEM bag or my NXT bag that causes me the most bitterness ? I've never called NEM a scam, idiot. I could start now if you'd like. And as for BTS, never called them a scam either.....but I'm starting to think that it has some serious problems, even more than having TS as a cheerleader. |

The part about TaunSew makes your post totally shit.. Why would he try to bash NEM as TaunSew if he still has a lot of socks? Not wise to lower your price..
Anyway, NEM is nice, won't go much lower because all who wanted to dump have dumped by now..
TS's current sig is a NEM ad....and he's been more onboard with NEM than critical of it. I sometimes have no freaking idea who's side he's on, so I usually blame either NEM or BTS for his antics. (I do get the feeling that he's not very bullish on the future prospects for NXT, though) |

It's okay, EvilDave. Never too late to join the winning team  Actually, diversification is a good thing. Smart money is not just in dollars, but is in gold, silver, etc. Crypto is the same, as no one knows who will go viral and reach mass adoption (even Bitcoin is very far from mainstream). I'm already on the winning team.... , or at least A winning team. Or two, or three....shit, crypto is complicated. Maybe we're all gonna win. But TS appears to be regretting some of his life choices: |

I feel for you, TS.
Let's all hold hands and send TS our love in this difficult time for him.

Yay! to TS...that's his best post ever. Still giving him the evil eye, though  |

Funny how a 'scam' has produced more usable core technology than any other crypto-currency.  |

This thread is a joke right?
Its so funny it should be stickied.
NXT was a scam and stil is.
all the coins went to less then 30 people.. that's a scam
must be a pretty good elaborate scam i gotta say since its been going for almost 2 years. they just keep on cranking out code every month. im not sure what to think. Bernard Madoff's scam went on for decades before he was investigated and put behind bars. Duration of operation or an individual's profit does not mean something is not a scam. "I made money on it so it couldn't had been a scam" is something that is frequently parroted on here and not a correct conclusion. There's plenty of people who made profit off Madoff's scam and other scams or illegal activity. NXT's distribution where the two Eastern European co-founders took the majority, Jeff Garzik's review on the code, numerous thefts in the ecosystem which were probably the result of backdoors and the plethora of ponzi schemes based on half-completed projects on the asset exchange. Verdict: It's a scam. So, just for a change, care to back up your BS with some evidence ? You post the same bollocks every time, even though it's been refuted again and again and again........ meeehhhh:Probably the few legit ones like NXT.
Yeah someone who runs a professional multinational is going to buy a bunch of coins from two anonymous Eastern European Gopnik Bros, who put backdoors in the code (see bitcoin developer Jeff Garzik on NxT). Also all the numerous thefts and ponzis that occur in the NXT ecosystem. Overstock may as well be buying bridges in Somalia. Last thing Overstock is going to do is buy scam shit like NxT, Aurora and PayCoin. It's like paying Whack-a-Mole with the worlds most hopeless rodent: Jeff Garzik, one of the developers of Bitcoin and possibly the future lead developer, determined there are probable backdoors in the NXT source code. NxT was a scam where its' founder owns at least 400 million NxT. It's called TaunSew and is incapable of coming up with any new material: Hashes do not match, the "open source" NXT that is available to download is not the same as the NXT that everybody downloads on their desktop, which contains probable backdoors (which explains much of the thefts which occurred within NXT since launch). Jeff Garzik covered this ages ago https://twitter.com/jgarzik/status/511928969000943616NXTers deny / refuse it but that's the power of running an internet cult. Jeff Garzik has nothing personal against NXT. He's a developer for BTC, possibly even the lead developer if Gavin steps down, and he's doing all sorts of ventures to build cryptocurrency as a whole.
Not to mention the fact that I (and others) have already answered them repeatedly.
Lets start with the thefts from NXT accounts: there have been around 10-12 thefts directly from accounts. Mostly small amounts of NXT, always owing to lousy password security.
In some cases less than 1000 NXT, but even so, it still sucks to lose your funds like that, so we always take theft reports seriously.
We've checked all of the thefts out, and in some cases recovered the funds.
In every case, people lost their NXT by using a well known phrase as password, or a simple ABCDABCD.... repeating pattern.
Since we started beefing up password security a year ago....no more thefts.
Most of the guys/girls/whatever who lost NXT are still involved with Nxt, including the guy who actually had the most stolen (and recovered):
https://nxtforum.org/general-discussion/got-nxt-64-757-stolen-from-my-wallet-%27%28/msg50586/#msg50586
.....and now he's running a NXT-based business and representing NXT at conferences:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1AmBhjkVQU&feature=youtu.be
The backdoor: If there was a systematic backdoor built into the NXT code, you'd expect to see thefts on a much larger scale.
We've had a shitload of coders look at the NXT code since then, and there is no backdoor to be found.
The NXT dev community comprehensively answered Jeff G, and he hasn't come up with any evidence either.
https://nxtforum.org/general-discussion/a-longer-reply-to-jeff-garzik/
https://nxtforum.org/general-discussion/garzick-attacking-nxt-again/
Anyone who wants to check it out for themselves, and has the necessary skillz.........come on down, rip NXT to pieces and find that backdoor code:
https://bitbucket.org/JeanLucPicard/nxt/downloads/Just to finish off here, 'coz I'm getting tired and grumpy........if you want to see exactly how NXT works: http://jnxt.org/nxt/Log in to this test NXT client with the alias 'nxt' and take a good look at what Nxt has built over the last 2 years. NXT isn't a scam or a frigging cult, it's a sane, honest and legitimate project, one of the best in crypto right now. To anyone who is curious about NXT: do your own research, rather than taking the word of bitter, repetitive trolls like TS. Grrr.....what a little tit. (And, very sadly, I don't have 50 million NXT either......I've spent the last 18 months accumulating NXT in any way possible, and I'm just getting close to my first million, which makes me happy.)
Have you considered the possiblity that you may have Alzheimers, TS ? You live completely in the past, yet can't remember stuff that you posted 4 days ago.....  or stuff you posted yesterday, even. So this time, here's a challenge for you: let's see Jeff G's code review of NXT. Or maybe you could find one of the theft victims ? Or how about another of those lovely graphs, showing Bittrex distributions ? The only scam around here is that someone is very scared of NXT, as it's looking like NXT is the only genuine, open, working as intended, stable 'Gen 2.0' crypto platform. NXT delivers, and gives people the freedom to do whatever the hell they like with their investment. The only thing TS delivers on is.......well, not very much really. Hard to believe that TaunSew thinks people are dumb enough to fall for his repetitive FUD.........as usual, my advice to anyone who's interested in NXT: do your own research. |

Well.....yes, Nxt Asset Exchange is kind of biased towards using NXT as its default currency, but with a bit of imagination you should be able to figure out a method to pay out Nxt-based dividends in BTC or anything else you can think of. Thinking out loud: Multigateway has possibilities, maybe Shapeshift or Coinomatgive you a lot of possibilities for automating NXT<>whatever conversion. The only real issue I can see with paying out dividends in BTC (or whatever) is that the asset issuer will need to have BTC/whatever addresses of the asset holders to make a dividend payout. This could make buying into the asset slightly more complex, ie the asset buyer will have to send a BTC/whatever address to the issuer (via Nxt messaging  ) in order to recieve dividend payouts. For the rest: yeah, shouldn't be a problem if you can find someone to code up an automated payout process. If you really want to do this......ask on the NXTforum: https://nxtforum.org/asset-exchange-general/Having said all that, NXT liquidity is reasonable right now, with 24 hour trading round the $50,000 mark, so being paid out in NXT isn't all that bad... |
