NXT plus and negative

[LiskEnterprise]

I am a little shocked NXT does not get any love here.

I look at a lot of alts and BTC and was in BTC early - at .002c

not large but was in and watching.

NXT seems very advanced, proven not a scam, proven POS, assets, colored coins, messages, shuffling etc.

So WTF.

Even the founder was an incredible read and story.

So where is the love?

[LiskEnterprise]

The ultimate progress for an alt coin...


A killer app.

a celebrity endorsement.

steady utilization.

a growing strong loyal dev team.

luck?

[LiskEnterprise]

I think NXT needs to focus on mobile usable apps

I'm surprised too.  It's just the way it is I guess...

It's all about adoption. You can have killer features all you want. If noone uses them you might as well not have them. Without widespread adoption any alt - no matter what features it has - will stagnate or fail alltogether at some point.
This is the crux of pretty much the entire altcoin scene and I haven't seen any project geaining adoption on any significant level so far.  I'm happy to be corrected on that though

Yes too true.

So really a coin needs some celebrity endorsement to hit a larger sphere outside of the normal crypto community.

Great pic That was last summer though.

It's been a rough winter.






But he survived and is planning to get a tattoo. What you think?

generating an account with OS X wallte does not work.



always the same message: password incorrect.


choosing an other, an own PW?

nope: Your passphrase must be at least 35 characters long.



=> now way to create an account with Version 2.2.0 (2.2.0)

[sadface]

35 characters absolutely advised, maybe they made it mandatory. you need a safe password for nxt!

proofknuckle seems to be working on a new mac wallet: https://nxtforum.org/alternative-clients/%28mac%29-updated-nxt-wallet/100/

i would call it alpha status, from reading the thread.

e: love the lambo, marc!

[robelneo]

It is not yet their time yet I am not into this coin,but reading how you feel about next coin makes me believe that i ought to be on this coin,they have indeed had a good community and dedicated team the only thing missing I guess are good companies that can adopt their features and goals..

Those that missed it, great recent book about NXT:

Ps: Thanks sadface!

I've thought so too. I think it's a little goofy that you have to run both a command line app and a web browser to use it (or at least you did last time I used NXT), but it works fine and it's not a scamcoin. It's got some pretty cool features too. NXT was actually the first altcoin I saw that even had a functional polling feature and a built-in marketplace, which I thought was neat. You gotta remember that a lot of what's happening with the Blockchain is very much Version 1.0 stuff and, maybe some of it could be improved, but this is where it's starting to get exciting.

The price is getting traction lately, people are beginning to see that it's underpriced.
And it's handling well with the large amount of competitors in marketcap.

So, keep calm... and hold on.

[vlom]

now wallet works fine.

NXT is POS, right?

This is my first POS Coin.

Now just need an open wallet, right?

[sadface]

yes nxt is pos, but you don't get interest on your holdings. you gather fees by contributing to network security. the process is called forging. similar to mining, when you forge a block you get the fees of all transactions in that block. you need a relatively large amount of nxt to forge blocks regularly. i'm not sure how profitable it is at the moment, but the margin is small! the plus side of this is that nxt has no inflation.

you can also lease your balance to a forging pool, so you don't have to have your wallet open. could make things more profitable. check nxtforum.org or google, i'm not up 2 date on forging pools.

i think there is an installer for windows now, which might have made things easier. on linux you still need to run a server in a terminal/console, which you then access via localhost in your browser. if you're not fimilar with linux and such its very odd, i agree.
Lots of the nxt features are a bit rough to use, because they really are core transaction types with a basic gui. I think the devs were hoping for plugin developers to take over and make them user friendly. i think eventually all these things will come.

hint for devs: altho nxt is written in java, plugins can be written in many language, such as php, c/++, python. with the asset exchange its also relatively easy to get funding, if you have something good in mind.

I love NXT just as much as I love every crypto community, however, if you were looking to make money marketing your Bitcoin2.O coin to Silicon Valley and the world at large, then you might have chosen a name that didn't suggest that you were better than one of the all time greatest entrepreneurs in the computer space.





"Ethereum" just comes across a little less arrogant than:







"Next - improving the company that clueless idiot Steve Jobs ruined due to his complete and utter stupidity"































Otherwise, you would be where Ethereum is today.

Maybe you should have started the Tennessee project before Ethereum launched.

Don't take your first mover advantage for granted.  Love it.  Appreciate it.  Exploit it.  Promote it.
 
Better luck NXT time.

Hey, at least you are not starving:




That's a plus, right?!






























and what a vibrant community (forum) you have:



millions of views on individual posts is very positive!!!

There's now a Warp infused nxt wallet...

BTC Warp Wallet + NXT:

- Remember 1 passphrase to generate your BTC and NXT wallet
- Shorter passphrase
- 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.









demo: http://216.119.150.238:888 --- click on key icon and then just provide any warp login / salt and generate.
