NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information

[ImmortAlex]

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.

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

The only one big problem I see now is disagreement on VS. And problem mostly is not decenralization, but people's dream of true democracy.
Even big promotion moves forward, more or less, regardless on lack of centralization.

Well - that block explorer does *look* a lot more like blockchain.info - and does have a few nifty features - kudos to the creator(s)!

Thanks! 

Working on an online wallet a la blockchain.info now.

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!

We are in a race against the other currencies, but that race doesn't involve marketing, it involves feature set.  You can't market a currency like other consumer products.  It takes 5 minutes for someone to rid themselves completely of Nxt, it's not a durable good commitment.  Hence, marketing is so temporary when it comes to cryptos.  Look at sexcoin, where are they now, after all their marketing?  I may be the only one here, but to me a product that is over marketed sends a message to me; the product isn't good enough for me to discover purely on usability/feature set.  People like to discover products on their own, through word of mouth.  Nxt should focus on appealing to our core audience, crypto enthusiasts (technically minded people/developers), that gives us legitimacy in the crypto world.  Our best marketing is a very robust and usable currency feature set.

[Fatih87SK]

They are all talking about Ethereum en Emunie at twitter and other places as the second gen.

We must get the word spread out about NXT. I think the client of Nexern will help with that.

[Come-from-Beyond]

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

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.

This will make the initial BCNext's idea worthless.

[jkoil]

just about a mechanism, which allows some experts having more votes than common people.

And what kind of problems do u expect to solve with voting? We've only tech. ones: how the most effective divide funds, how high/low setup fees, which features'll improve Nxt and so on. So we need exactly skilled-based system for good decisions.

Forum discussion is good enough for me.

o... so, somewhere was specified, what kind of votings there will be. Ok, that's fine, I've missed that.

Again, organization in the allocation of information, human and capital resources is being confused with organizational architecture.

I agree, that's why I would still focus on technical articles. First of all, we need to persuade the tech guys (so they could then talk to other mortals), then we can show some "cool things" to ordinary people.

So what do we need right now?

Help Nxt by writing Articles

Is here anyone, who would write excellent and long articles about:

- Why is pure Proof of Stake in Nxt best solution for cryptocurrencies?

- How can you mine Nxt only with solar energy?

- How could decentralized exchanges change the world? (no Government, no censorship, USA, China...) - + decentralized messaging, DNS

- The 51% Attack - technical details, history of 51% attacks, how it ended, Nxt solution (is Nxt safer than other PoS currencies?) (Ghash's pool is risking Bitcoin's security again with 40% of the network's hashpower and no one is talking about it. Pools of PoW machines with enormous hashpower is Bitcoin's most pressing concern and biggest flaw right now. Nextcoin is the best answer to this. Why is it not being talked about more?)

- Nxt: gaming friendly currency (vs. Litecoin, a graphic cards killer) - Due to Litecoin's difficulty skyrocketing there is a global shortage of Graphic Cards, which piss off gamers tremendously and drive up the price for grahics cards. NXT solves this. (Uniqueorn's idea, maybe reserved for him..?)

- Nxt + Raspberry (+other similar platforms (Cubietruck)) (can be different articles, also short articles) (0 energy  forging package)

- Transparent Forging (very very technical, history of mining, comparisons)

You can make reservations on these articles.


Shorter articles/essays:

- Why should you invest in Nxt? (/Why should you invest in Nxt long term?)

- Why is Nxt so friendly currency?: (i) It *doesn't* have VC capital backing. ii) It *doesn't* have "slick sales guys*. iii) It *does* have smart devs and an increasing following.  iv) It *is* delivering its promises (more or less) on time.) - more about the community, people form all over the world, community funding, decentralized company - a world of free individuals who all believe in Nxt. 1200 pages in Bitcointalk


Future (short) articles: (now it's to soon):

- Who accepts Nxt as a payment? (+ fee in Nxt vs. Bitcoin vs. fiat (VISA))
- Nxt invites altcoins to host on it's blockchain
- Can be a new internet stored on Nxt's blockchain / DNS system?


Have you got any idea about some other article? Share it. We would love to have more scientific articles, financial, economical, IT...

Edit: And this color for foreground:

Is there any modeler, who could create a coin using above colors? It should have hexagon shape (slate color), logo (ivory) and a border (ivory) that looks like endless seamless "X"s similar to the logo. How much would u ask for that?

I say do it through a contest... need to be more clear on the requirements though.

1. Take logo


2. Use "slate" as background and "ivory" as foregraound colors.

3. Draw as ornament on the border

4. Transform circle into

I'm a modeler. But I don't understand what you really want. A sketch would help me to get started. Could we pm each other?
