NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information

[okaynow]

Didn't cryptmarketcap create the site in a response to NXT ? My memory might be failing me, but I have a faint memory of reading that he thought NXT was premined and should not be on coinmarketcap, so he made that site.
May be completely wrong though.

You are not wrong, you did read that. I did too, can't fnd it now/

[admiral.fu]

@Cryptmarketcap:

NXT was going to be added, but when I announced it, I got a lot of emails protesting, so it did not go up in the end.

Me:

how many emails? We can arrange protesting emails against those protesting emails. Just add Nxt. Please

Will we start company "Email2Cryptmarketcap for adding Nxt"?
I can ask help about 3 thousand nxt followers on http://vk.com/cryptonxt .Do they realy want to answer on so much emails?)))

Not bad! This could be automated. Run the algo for 3000 items like "bublik@bublik.ru", get accounts, send monies, notify users how to use client and retieve them. This campaign could be called One-time-NXT2email.

OK, you don't have to rush, we need as much info as possible. Many numbers too.

I could provide lots of data, whatever we might need. Performance / load, Power consumption, solar stuff (autonomy time etc), prices / part lists. Not sure yet though about what format would be good to write this up in.

And pictures. Maybe you know some Pro / half Pro photographer, who could make some really cool photos. If we had them in 10 days, that would be fantastic.

Somehow, to me this setup doesn't seem suitable for real high-end photography. I mean look, it's a really simple case and an actual cardboard box I'm using My own photography hardware is almost nonexistant. Best thing I could come up with is an iPhone 4s.

Here are two more fun shots:



First is the setup running autonomously (notice only incoming cable: ethernet), second is the solar/battery load regulator and the actual LiPoly.

You might be interested to know that your picture was very popular today, both on my blog (most popular topic with over 700 unique hits) and on Twitter. This was very good for PR as it showed the ridiculousness of expensive setups.

Hey Aaron,
I'm putting on a debate about Metacoin layers on FRIDAY in miami, will anyone able to speak about NXT be able to attend?  Mastercoin, Ethereum and Bitshares will be there.  This will run on LTB as a full episode next week.

Here's the description

At the beginning of the event, each camp will have the opportunity to present their platform, the value it adds and how it's different from the others.   The other speakers will then have an opportunity to ask questions about that platform.  This will repeat with all three projects.

The next portion of the discussion will be focused on

DACs, DAs - Specific use cases, multi-layer progressions, etc.  I'd like to expand on some of the early concepts we'll see developed on these technologies. 2-3 examples would be great per project
    
Fundraising - You've all done, it and it defines you to a certain extent as different from colored coins which was a much earlier idea but seems to have lacked that investable quality that is propelling this next generation.   What worked, what didn't.  What would you do differently and do those following in your footsteps absolutely need to do exactly the same.
    
I'd like to get visionary with the final broad topic, talk about what the ecosystem you're creating will look like in 10, 50, 100 years.  Are these Metacoins logical conclusion, or are there more innovative layers still to come?

Whatever time is left will be devoted to audience questions.

Someone should make a competing site, but add a column for current annual monetary inflation rate.  Seeing Bitcoin and forks as inflationary currencies would really make their heads spin.

[okaynow]

To the ones here that can read the trailing numbers on the matrix screen, is this deliverable?
And if it is, could he have it when all those accounts were being chased?

Eh?  Did I not say that it was removed for the safety of the public.  More specifically, the Nxt holders.

If you want Nxt source code,  go ask the Nxt folks to open source their work.

Hmmm... for just a moment... I had an idea for a Nxt hacking toolkit.

It works like this:

It scans the block chain for active Nxt accounts with balances.
Then it uses hashcat  (see: http://hashcat.net/oclhashcat/#features-algos ) to crack the secret phrases.
Any match with any of the existing Nxt public addresses essentially cracks the account.
The account then is silently drained of its holdings.

I wonder how much people who pay for such a toolkit?

It seems like some people have problems with the registration procedure. Tomorrow I will make a step-by-step video with registration, confirmation, profile editing, the shortlink and posting something.

I hope this will help.

Two screenshots of what I've been busy with for my NXT Solaris client. To be released over the weekend, since I need a rest.

Market view



Personal account management showing NXT values in other currencies



Be careful with the market view, though. You know, it's closed source and I might have something in there that influences the markets in the direction I want... 

Indeed, awesome! But for me as most likely for many other people, a closed source client is a show-stopper.
IMO, you're better off rethinking your license model and work around any constraints of 3rd party software.

This simply looks too promising to not receive the acceptance which apart from the license model this quality work surely deserves.

No joke. This open source and for mac and the client issue would be finished for ever.

Nexern where are you? Do you have some updates? :s

[allwelder]

Is there a manual somewhere how to set up Nxt on a cubietruck?

RaspNXT runs "out of box" on the cubie. Just install and update with latest NXT version. (I haven't come around to have it auto-update itself yet)

BTW, behold here a quick shot of my solar cubie



I'll follow up with more info soon

If provide the brief manual for install Nxt on  cubietruck,it will be much better.

Oh how I wish I were in Miami.  Or anywhere even close.

I don't know how I feel about Nxt being described as a metacoin, but since Ethereum is also on the list, it's not so bad.  I have noted that Andreas has mentioned Nxt a few times as "a layer on top of Bitcoin", though, which bugs me.

I've been thinking about a few topics lately that Nxt proponents should address, because they're also hot topics in the Bitcoin world:  fungibility, transparency vs security, counteracting centralization, the "mining economy", numbers of transactions per block (and how they change over time) as a measure of value, maintaining strong consensus on the network, and "scarcity" (which I am beginning to think is simply a myth in the digital realm).  I think Nxt has some interesting solutions for these issues and think we should be documenting them in the whitepaper.  I swear I'll get to it one day.

I'm also wondering where we are with finding someone to take the 10BTC fund for a cryptanalysis on Curve25519 key generation and EC-KCDSA signing...?  I stumbled upon this guy, from Amsterdam, who proposed a Curve25519 cryptanalysis in 2009, and am wondering if any of our Netherlandic friends (Damelon??) might want to poke him: Cees de Laat

[allwelder]

One issue is we seem to have Nxters split across 3 (or more) forum. And the nxtcrypto forum is too bloated visually; I like compact visuals, and that forum looks like it was designed by drawing on a balloon with a magic marker. Then again, I'm an old usenet holdout that hates most modern web forums, so I'm a bad judge of what's 'good'.

I keep asking btc24/adminius about adding ability to reset password.  Also I dont like the new theme either.  So I preempt the style:

https://forums.nxtcrypto.org/index.php?style=1

It can reset the Login  and finance password when click “my account”.

No joke. This open source and for mac and the client issue would be finished for ever.

Nexern where are you? Do you have some updates? :s

i am here 
still working on the client, currently refactoring the whole
gui labeling for multi-language support. also adding a reputation
system. testing the client next week with testnet. will make
some screenshots over weekend.

[EvilDave]

Guys and gals:

Myself, Damelon, Mistafreeze, buybitcoinscanada, instacash and others have been having a little talk with FrictionlessCoin on his 2 nex threads:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=422052.0

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=424724.0

I don't know about anyone else, but I gotta go to bed, and I know Damelon is up past his bedtime.
Looks like FC is on US East coast (ish), so it would be really appreciated if a few NXT'ers could keep the pressure up on him thru the day.
I think his brains about to explode, he's reduced to posting kitten pictures and avoiding all questions.
If we can push this a little bit harder, maybe he will stop being such an irritating troll and leave NXT in peace.

Anyway, it's a right laugh, winding him up.

And to all the guys who've been on the nex threads tonight: much thanks.

A new day ... a new superhero joins the KLONE Justice League!

It takes brains to launch a coin, even a cloned one, and Team KLONE just got a lot smarter ... I give you NXR

NXR´s aim is to support research! We will develop different strategies for this purpose. The NXR project is very young!

Welcome to KLONE NXR! You have shown true commitment to NXT cloning, and to the pursuit of science for the benefit of all humanity, and we wish you well!

Average IQ at KLONE ... to da MOON!

"Metacoin" in my mind is a coin that is designed to have other coins or assets ride on top of it.  Mastercoin is what I'd call a layer 2 metacoin bootstrapped on a level 1 coin.  Ethereum is a level 1 metacoin, Bitshares is a Level 1 metacoin, and NXT is a level 1 metacoin

[brooklynbtc]

Micro-bounty offer.

Just a small idea for marketing activities at the coming "Inside Bitcoin" events. We could have a win/win lottery for collected business cards. Like every contact who left a card could receive say 20 NXT, and three of them could go up to 100, 500 or even 1000 NXT. This would attract interest.

Now the best proposal on how to arrange this with the least management (emailing back and forth, managing lists etc.) gets 50 NXT.

I too participate in this contest. My idea is that we "create" and top up accounts where the passphrase is their email. And Then we notify them to collect the monies and transfer them somewhere safe.

i like that email idea, remove the @ and the . randomuesr345gmailcom is a pretty secure address but someone does have to create them all, and make sure they are all done right, or they are just going to DarkNXT

My idea for marketing: Postcard with NXT's top features, PoS, Green Mining, 100% new code, etc and on the reverse, a download link, preferably to the new one click App, or a download site that will be updated with the newest version and an address to a FAUCET with an individual redemption code.

Faucet pays out 10, 20, etc NXT but needs the redemption code so people don't use the faucet more than once, and has the added bonus of keeping the NXT that is funding the faucet in one account, so it can be reused for another event if not claimed. ( the email accounts would sit in separate accounts if not claimed)


WesleyH has a great faucet, would be easy enough to duplicate and create a list of "redemption codes" and also have the code be marked invalid if the user tries to redeem to an account with any NXT already in it

Thoughts? You can send the 50NXT bounty to my address below.. I'll use it to fund my ticket to the Inside Bitcoin conference in NYC this April

Interesting event there. Could Niffy present NXT and talk about technical stuffs ? I don't think any technically strong guy plan to be in Miami yet.

What's a pity.  could someone go ? It is a excellent chance to present NXT. Ferment ? wesleyh ? Cfb ? how much would be a Belarus-Miami flight ticket ?

How about Ola
