Why is NXT not the number 2 coin?

[sadface]

I see 2 problems with NXT

First there needs to be more marketing to grow the community

Second there needs to be less circle jerking about CoinShuffle and more work on integrating the best anonymous technology available for SuperNet today, which is CryptoNote (https://github.com/cryptozoidberg/boolberry/commit/14eba55b4a496f2f04f5ad33891fe9f172b7d3db). The API work has already been done on the BBR side. SuperNet needs to stop pumping NXT (Coinshuffle) and BTCD (telepods) and integrate BBR already.

supernet and nxt are seperate entities. supernet utilizes nxt, but is developed by another dev team.

its a cool project, but i dont see why the nxt platform should trust a third party to realize privacy. nxt is and will be used without supernet.

why couldnt nxt just integrate cryptonote instead of coinshuffle?

you're going to have to ask jean-luc, but if i had to guess it is because of blockchain size. the dev team forced a switch to prunable messages by putting a 'fee by size' structure on permenant messages. they are very keen on keeping the blockchain slim. also the big project for 2016 are child chains. i haven't looked into cryptonote much. iirc there were some bloat issues (bbr implementing pruning).

if im not mistaken the coin shuffling implementation is based on this paper: http://crypsys.mmci.uni-saarland.de/projects/CoinShuffle/coinshuffle.pdf
there is a discussion about it here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1179305.0
one of the authors reviewed the code: https://nxtforum.org/core-development-discussion/coin-shuffling-code-review-by-tim-ruffing/

That is my question for myself every morning....

same here... makes no sense.

Don't worry. Real investors are buying quietly, while cheap.

I mean, real investors who know what's coming...

just implemented warp wallet into nxt... now every nxt account is associated with a btc address... https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1361397.0

Was looking for a Bitcoin Warp Wallet setup with NXT and couldn't find one. So decided to just strip out the existing Warp wallet and integrate it into the nxt wallet.

Benefits of Warp Wallet + NXT:

- Remember 1 passphrase to generate your BTC and NXT wallet
- Deters brute forcing of passphrase as its cpu intensive to generate the addresses
- NXT passphrase uses the generated public and private key combined.
- BTC address shows up in your NXT user panel for easy viewing.









Warp wallet code:

Paste the following javascript code in /html/ui/index.html file. Paste it right before the </body tag
http://pastebin.com/idWnDTTy -- Use code with caution. Test it in a sandbox.

I got the code from here: https://keybase.io/warp

Downloaded the single file and stripped out the jquery, and commented out a few lines in the js. Then added in my own JS on the top.

It is dropping again. The bitcoin price is so unpredictable. It just dropped from $460 to $410.

Nxt we're talking, that's the Nxt generation of Cryptocurrency
