NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information

[bithic]

Hi everyone.

How about these for a couple of proofs of concept?  Two one-minute spots I recorded this evening:

General Nxt intro: https://soundcloud.com/whatsupnxt/nxtminute-0001
Nxt minute: https://soundcloud.com/whatsupnxt/nxtminute_0002

I welcome feedback.

Here's my take on the one minute spot, using joefox's example as inspiration, and trying to take into consideration all the feedback that was given:

Gang,

Here's a little trinket someone may be interested in.

My dad used to be a master hand engraver and worked on many guns, knives etc that appeared in Hollywood films (mostly westerns back in the 70s). The last few years he's slowed down and does mostly automated commercial work.

He had a few spare business card holders, so we loaded in the Nxt logo, hit start, and voila.

Actually, the first attempt was bad -- .eps is notoriously wonky going between Mac <--> PC, and his CorelDraw didn't like my Mac .eps. For the second attempt (shown below), it's pretty good. Some minor flaws, but Winkelvoss or Cuban won't notice as you whip it out of your pocket at a conference.

If a conference ambassador wants this, let me know (Rickyj, Salsa, Mcjavar... I know there are more).

I opted to not put the logo tagline on as I wasn't sure how it would look. I can add it back. Also, my dad recommended putting someone's name below it (not sure if I'm crazy about that, I like the nameless/anonymous aspect of Nxt).

These holders are anodized aluminum. This one happens to be blue... I think he has one more blue, two red and two silvers. If I keep shoveling his snow this week, I might be able to twist his arm to do the rest of them.

Anyway, this is gratis for whoever wants it -- these aren't a big deal, but they may make Nxt look like we have our collective shit together (in a decentralized way, of course!)

Send me an address and I can mail it out today or tomorrow. If it's going to Europe, it'll probably take over a week since I'm cheap.

ALSO! My dad has some spare stainless steel water bottles (I didn't grab a pic but can take one today). Let me know if there's interest in something like this. Maybe we could put together a swag bag for schmoozing at a conference? I'm a little torn over this; it's kind of cheesy, almost as if we're buying favor (Nxt is strong enough to stand on its own). But if you've been to CES, E3 etc you know it's pretty cool to score freebies.

Anyway, enough babbling. Off to bed, then three days off from work to keep up with this thread.

Nxt LTB Spot, Episode 1: https://soundcloud.com/bithic/nxtltbspot-ep1

Music is not good. It sounds like a Viagra commercial.

At some points you can hear a tiny tremble in your voice, you need to do more of these to practice and be more relaxed

You can notice the progress even during this one minute: the first half is not that good, but second is Ok.

Kinda same with Joefox, his second minute is so much better!

I hear it. I can always rerecord if we decide to use my voice.

Any other suggestions for creative commons music? That was The Arrival by General Fuzz:

I'm going to bed now, I'll check for feedback in the morning.

Nice voice!

is there a thread for nxt odroid owner  , i have a  few question / problems with my odroid ?

[mikesbmw]

Hi Guys,

I just posted this on Nextcoin.org about Vircurex.


Uhm have you seen what they use to provide fiat deposit/withdrawal?

I hope i'm mistaken:

Adding and withdrawing of USD and Euro is via Liberty Reserve. The interface is automated hence your transactions are immediately debited or credited to your accounts.

http://www.libertyreserve.com/index.html
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberty_Reserve

Seems very legit....

Their Wiki page still says that they use Liberty Reserve, but that was closed down.
Does anyone know which service they currently use, as their website lacks any information about the direct conversion to fiat.

[Passion_ltc]

Can someone say me why everyone makes such a big deal about Vircurex? I know it's very old and established. But the volume is so low..

Very nice!

I'll be attending at least part of the NYC conference, and my firm is very active in the VC space (one of our partners is speaking on a panel the morning of the 7th). I'd be happy to chat about NXT and/or hand out cards while I'm there.

[TwinWinNerD]

Can someone answer me this:

If i forge a block, can someone else see my IP then?
Or lets phrase it diffrently. I need to run a node to forge, is my account number connected to the forging IP?

Could someone please answer this?

I was discussing this with a friend and we came to the conclusion that this would be a huge security concern if it is indeed so.

EURO-NXT Gateway

We are in process of developing a EURO-NXT and BTC-NXT Gateway. We are using the testnet to show our EURO Asset Current positions and it seems to be performing pretty stable.

The gateway is an ltd comany registered in Ireland.

Here is a screen shot of what our Order Book looks like:
(IT IS TEST DATA FROM THE CURRENT TESTNET holms.cloudapp.net:6874 )

Here is a screen shot of our EURO purchase screen:
http://www.dropbox.com/s/23h8fqvno2mxwvo/PurchaseAsset.png

After purchasing EURO or BTC assets they can be freely traded on the NXT Decentralize Exchange.
The assets then can be Redeemed on our website.


Is there an ETA for the Decentralized Exchnage? It would be nice to know so we can plan our development accordingly.

CFB mentioned bounty for gateways, would you know where we can apply?


Isildur23 is part of the project and he will probably be answering most support questions.

Why are you exposing nxt account numbers?

[Uniqueorn]

Can someone say me why everyone makes such a big deal about Vircurex? I know it's very old and established. But the volume is so low..

I think it's a mix between the fact that it gets added on yet another exchange that is not related to the NXT community (decentralization and so on) and also the naive wishful thinking that because BTer boosted the price several hundred percent, then this adding will do so too.
Plus it does make it easier for Europeans to get ahold of NXT, but I do think the volume is too low to have a HUGE impact. I do expect a 20-30% ish increase, but nothing close to the BTER event. 

Let's hope the signal effect makes other exchanges with bigger volume (cryptsy etc.) adds it.
