Nxt and the rise to the top.

[Nxtblg]

i must agree with this...

+1 to Nxtblg, makes a lot of sense.

Aww, shucks.

A lot of big things are going on in the NXT blockchain! Check out the hackathon from Hackcoin for example:

I recently started using the NXT platform for my BFTB project http://nxtreporting.com/?as=17932033886660099893

I transferred BFTB to NXT after Coinsortium.co started acting funny and withholding funds. So far NXT has been amazing. I love the platform, the explorers and other apps available. The Asset Exchange is probably my favorite part though.

When documented (or hyped) revenues actually start rolling in (InstantDEX, etc)...
Many Asset values will rise dramatically... and since both sides of Balance Sheet must be equal... NXT will rise...
If fact, even a few millions $$$ of revenue (real or hyped) could push NXT 500-1000% higher quickly.

....

Really good explanation. I have not seen it like a balance sheet so far, but when I thought about it then it makes absolutely sense. It opened my eyes a little more about the real potential of Nxt

not sure what I'm looking at. care to explain?

[TastyChillySauce00]

damn man Nxt is very hard to be predicted 

[box0214]

there's an awful lot of nxt threads lately... i think there should make a compilations of all the claims that nxt is a scam... like how bitcoin has an obituaries website of all the news sites saying it's dead.

Good point! History does repeat itself.

[box0214]

i think NXT has an interesting twist that many of us haven't considered yet that might skyrocket nxt...

Mesh Networking... or Decentralized Internet.

It has all the ingredients of facilitating and kickstarting the decentralized mesh internet movement:

- DNS Routing and Domain Name System - CHECK
- Messaging / Email - CHECK
- Currency - CHECK
- Decentralized Marketplace - CHECK
- Decentralized File Storage - CHECK

Currently outside of nxt, there are certain coins that implement each of these systems. But none of them is in one integrated system, which means namecoin would have to work with storj for file storage and florincoin for messaging. We can see each dev team would have to really collaborate together under one roof, and also the fact that each coin has its own separate currency which would cause fragmentation among devs hindering development time just like how we see the bickering over 20mb blocks on btc.

Once someone integrates CJDNS with nxt alias and packages it into a small affordable form factor like a raspberrypi or chromecast. This can really stir things up if everyone hopped onto this decentralized network. Imagine distributing these small devices to small villages or city areas with low internet connectivity. Or even possibly replicate what Google is doing with the Loon project (http://www.google.com/loon/) with a NXT server on a floating balloon powered via solar energy.

Nice distribution  /s  ..  plus no anonymity features.
Is the market and other features fully opensource?
No thanks!

link to that chart? ...

That chart is the balances currently being held at the bittrex exchange, not the distribution of all Nxt. You want something like this https://nxtblocks.info/#section/blockexplorer_distribution
Psudo-anonymity can be achieved by not linking your address to yourself, plus a core coin shuffling mechanism is on the way.

Java ... LOL !!   I trust java for some things, but not for a main financial program.

[box0214]

Seems like you have a mistake there or it was left out intentionally to trick newcomers to nxt? 

i'm curious to what motives some of these trolls have... obviously they are using sock puppet accounts and their real account is another name.

Possible motives to FUD on nxt?

No shit, and 350k NXT isn't some gargantuan whale, it just means nobody with any real amount of coin trades at bittrex.  As far as the "lol it's java not secure" BS, then go ahead and compromise it, you'll be rich.

I'd guess the latter, but there are some folks who are so self-deluded that it's impossible to tell the difference.

Truth be told, they come off like people who complain & complain about Facebook's botched IPO in '12.

Since your taking back to the oldschool again, here is a post from a year ago..

3> Java

Probably the worst.
Java is considered bad by many developers. Java is trying to install a shitty toolbar every time you install it or update and it is so insecure.
No open source programmer would ever use it.
Many people don't like Java and they will never add it (I believe it's why mcxnow never added it because it's JAVA client).
C/C++ are languages of choice of the industry. A C++ client should be developped to become something “professional and credible”.

This quote above shows a basic lack of understanding from someone who has never been a programmer. Java is a programming language. It's Oracle's applet (a web browser plugin) that  has security issues.  It's much easier to write secure software in Java than in C. There is also OPenJDK which is free and open source. 

Java remains the most popular programming language for server side. If you have ever used Amazon and Ebay, the server side was run by Java.  Almost all banks use Java on server side. So you already use Java as a client everyday.

NRS is a server application (it's not a web browser applet with security problems).  The client side can be written in any programming language.

You said the same when you were Eamorr more recently  Welcome back TS!! 

[Daedelus]

Also...

Indeed Java is better for financial apps as it's easier to write safer code. No pointers to arbitrarily access memory, no buffer overruns, bound checking, etc.  C++  is is better choice for apps that require faster start up and native integration.  

Faster start up is totaly irrelevant for server apps that start once and run for weeks/months without shutting down. Native integration is not needed either. Funny to watch Exo having difficulty releasing linux version. Had he used Java instead, it would have been platform independent. There is absolutely no reason to write crypto (server side)   in C++. It's a bad choice for the job.  

It's fine to write crypto clients in C++, and indeed anyone can write Nxt client in C++ for Windows. The client interacts with server (written i Java) . On the client side faster start up and native integration with GUI would be more desirable.

Nxt, kind of makes me think of this...  
trying to make you feel safe,  all the while you're being infected through java vulnerabilities !
