Does eMunie still have a goal to regulate the value of its currency by issuing more when demand requires this as originally planned or is it going to use some other mechanism? Has anything been changed in that regard over the last few months?

Satoshi and other early bitcoin adopters can dump bitcoin to shit any time.
Central banks can dump fiat to shit any time.
You get the idea Let me know which investment is 100% secure, I'll buy it instantly.

Some of the assets on NXT AE have gone up 500%, which means if the poor bought in to them, they'd be 5 times more rich now. And if the rich didn't buy, they'd still have the same. Which means there are opportunities born every minute, you just need to search for them and make your bets. Wisely. It's the companies that (will) run on top of NXT that add the value, sitting on stakes and not investing means the person is not actively exploring opportunities and will surely miss on them, and then pay more to buy shares of those companies.

I smell, you will be the one buying at the top

And it happened, folks!

now we don't need to touch Bitcoin with a ten foot pole

Please add a BTSX/NXT trading pair.

We need a BTSX/NXT trading pair. Let's petition exchanges. Whether you're a BTSX believer or NXT believer, why do you want to go to Bitcoin? If you want to invest in both, and want to reshuffle your investments between the two as prices fluctuate, there is even less reason to exchange to Bitcoin first.


There must be a BTSX<->NXT direct exchange!
If you disagree, you're an enemy of both BTSX and NXT.

Please petition Bter in their support thread:

Well, that would be like self-fulfilling prophecy then, wouldn't it? You prop up the price with the IPO funds and there is your expected growth realized in price charts

Please reconsider your decision, or you may end up being grouped in the same category as keynesian central bankers. And you can also end up being owner of a sizeable portion of BTSX (20-30%), which goes against decentralization ideals and goals.

Well, that's good. Except this doesn't correlate with Bitshares's decision to support the price of BTSX with the IPO funds. This is rigging of the market, not free market, and this is exactly what central banks do in the fiat world.

I see Dogecoin surviving as well. But it will probably switch to PoW/PoS model. Maybe even pure PoS. There are also chances it will attract all miners from Litecoin and become the Bitcoin of Scrypt. It will survive because it will be a tipping currency of choice and will find more ways into the gaming world, especially with younger generation who are/will be the main users and who make a very large share of the Internet users market. The inflation rate of Doge is a non-issue, starting from 2015 it will be smaller than that of Bitcoin or Litecoin until 2020. By 2020 a lot of things will have happened, there will be other survivors by then.

Believe it or not, all cryptos are still a big experiment. And it's not like production environment can be forced or influenced to use this or that crypto. Exactly, why do you care so much about that theft? It's over, most of the funds was returned, some damage has been done, but it also brought a lot of advertisement, which is going to smooth out the little damage over the long run. Hacker still keeps 8m, which is 0.8% of the total supply. If he chooses to sell it, he can depress price for a couple of weeks, that's the worst he can do.

There is actually more confidence now than before Short-term price fluctuations are of little importance.

In NXT there are plans to implement Monetary System that will allow to create currencies (both PoS and PoW) on top of NXT that should gain additional value compared to NXT coins. This is supposed to work as an anti-deflation mechanism and help stakeholders diversify and distribute their stakes when they see more value in those currencies.

There are also incentives for stakeholders to invest in successful enterprises running on NXT Asset Exchange, because shares of successful companies can appreciate faster than NXT coins. Debts can also be settled in shares of enterprises, not just in NXT coins.

Both of these mechanisms are supposed to help with distribution and fight centralization of stakes. I guess it will take a few years before we find out if it worked

This idea might work in the future, when/if tokens have more trust and credit worthiness than dollars.

Alright, I am selling.

Yes, there is a mechanism to keep track which fork is correct. It's called Economic Clustering. But it will likely never be utilized, as getting private keys of 51% coins seems a much more insurmountable task than coercing 2-3 biggest PoW pool operators to follow a certain agenda. But EC will be there just in case, so yes, nodes can know which fork is correct and be in consensus. There is also a penalty in EC for forgers who forge on an incorrect fork.

No, sorry, it's your money that is at risk. You have to do all the leg work by yourself and for yourself, not someone else

The only successful PoW is Bitcoin, and only because it has a few years first mover advantage, and habituation and herd mentality keep its market cap above others. But that's not forever.

You mean we just skip straight to you possessing 51% of the coins?

rpietila mentioned it's cheaper to attack PoS, that's economical soundness, I was answering to him.

Perhaps you should keep asking on nxtforum.org to get answers, be persistent, if you're interested, don't expect being spoon-fed answers.

You need coins to forge, a lot of them, that's why it's called Proof-of-Stake Why would you destroy your own investment if you spent billions of USD to buy up 51% of coins (or 90% of coins when TF is implemented)?
