NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information

[opticalcarrier]

Perhaps it would be a good idea for the client to check for a public key in the blockchain everytime an account is unlocked, and it to warn the user that the account has no public key and does not have 2^256 security?

This seems like a reasonable and easy to implement improvement (although maybe the wording of the text would need to be a little more "user friendly" than mentioning 2^256).

definitely, and the wording of how to go about securing it should be in there as well (send NXT, buy alias, basically ANYTHING that forces to pay a fee, or to generate a block)

you guys want to take a stab?  we're all supposed to participate

Gold.  Gold.  Gold.  
We must establish a precedent that any NXT coin representation will always be seen in a gold color and never in a silver color.

+1

And a green NXT blockchain logo goes well with a gold background.  Gold and green are traditionally linked colors.

We should decide on the official RGB shade of green to use for any and all future NXT blockchain logos.  We should push the green angle with a green logo color as an option (tho our official color is blue), but if we're gonna show it in green occasionally, we need to establish the exact shade of green...

I prefer steel color. Yes, not silver, but steel.
Every f*ckin' shitfork use gold/yellow color. Gold is used too much to be the next.

Gray color is neutral and looks good with most other colors, not only green.

NXT Solaris already warns when you sent NXT to an account that has no public key/no public key and a zero balance and it shows a small open lock in the personal account list if an account does not have a public key.

Wouldn't it be better though to have an account's public key published when you unlock it (if not already in existence - i.e. a *one step* procedure)?

This might be a little trickier - but would make the security argument about 64 bit go away once and for all.

I think that between now and the launches of emunie and ethereum, it is a golden time window for Nxt to doing the marketing. We should bombard the market to establish the Nxt as the original and #1 to the 2nd generation crypto as the bitcoin to the 1st generation.

keep up the great work!

[ImmortAlex]

why not lobby the bitcointalk mods to add a new section on the front page below bitcoin discussion.. have a nextcoin discussion??

The mods already showed to have negative attitude to Nxt. At least one of them.

We need to get organized somehow and move to another place.

brute forcers would 'bloat' the blockchain and make a shitload of addresses unusable.

Am I wrong?

Yup - that is why I said "trickier" and I don't have a solution at the moment - but it is something worth thinking about (perhaps involving getting an existing NXT holder to provide 1 NXT for said purpose?).

You're right.
Public key is part of transaction, that's all. No need to spam network every time you do mistake when type password.

+1. Gold is too vulgar. Steel is strong and modern.

Cool! Good thing you've decided to open source it, you have a very nice set of features.

We're so decentralized, we can't even get a speaker on a plane to represent 'us'
We're so decentralized, if we had models like Bitpay, they would all be wearing different outfits at different conferences
We're so decentralized, voting on how to vote seems too central
We're so decentralized, we don't even agree on know how to pronounce our own eco-system

This can be converted to some smart joke. Promotional joke. Good smart humor can be very serious when appers in right place, in right time.

Just use black and white simple and better for important fax's

This is exactly what I am asking over and over but no plan reveals. I would like to see an organized campaing with a timeline

I am asking again, what do we have to bombard and when, marketing?

It's not really a joke, it looks like a problem.

Can we get rid of jewelery, gems and other precious things?
Good old worker stainless steel!

I don't think this is going anywhere.
