NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information

[Silv0r]

Hey guys,

what's wrong with the / my NRS 0.5.11 Client? Since 12:46:56 my Client stopped updating the recent blocks. I'm at Block 56895 and getting lots of "generated an incorrect block. waiting for the next one...". Every half a minute.. I received 50 transactions of about 200 NXT (forging?!) since 02.02.2014 but they didn't show up at the Blockchain. Something corrupt?

Greetings,

Silv0r

Oh, that's a good idea, +1

I'd be more than happy to contribute as much as i can, atleast for a year or so, i see a huge future for NXT, a future i would be proud to be apart of.

I am officially doing the Snoopy Dance.

I am having lots of issues with 0.5.11 in my VPSs. I have to keep rebooting every 4 hours or so. Previously with 0.5.9 I could leave it for 1-2 days! Can someone please look into this?

Nxt™ is the first cryptocurrency where no mining takes place on the network, unlike Proof of Work currencies such as Bitcoin.

This is from http://www.nxtcrypto.org/

Nxt^TM? WTF?

Yeah same here, too. First problems started with 0.5.10 and now it's going to get worse on 0.5.11.. 0.5.9 worked perfect.

However, if James directs this, then I will disburse as authorized.  Like he has for this 75K NXT for crazy-expensive $75 CPM audio spots over in another thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=412243.new#new

Just for the record, your math is wrong, so anyone who agrees on this assumption, should make his own calculations first

It's a fact that James has authorized 75K NXT and I will be disbursing that later today as directed.

I understood that the audio spots were twice weekly for three months reaching an audience of 10,000 and were funded at a level of 275K NXT when NXT was priced at 0.07 USD each given the current Bitcoin price.  That's 275,000 * 0.07 = $19,250 for 13 weeks * twice weekly * 10,000 people = 260,000 impressions for a CPM of 19250/260 = $74.03.  I rounded to $75 for sake of an even number to use in discussion.

because in previous text you were counting only on 13 spots and not 26. But you must add many important things - if we didn't book it in couple of hours, ethereum would have bought that minute. Then, there is a difference between listeners of LTB and any other ordinary visitors of websites etc. Listeners of LTB have big influence on other people (journalists...) - those listeners can speak directly to the celebrities/important people, listeners of LTB are experts, advisors with huge power

Hi Guys,

By night i'm usually ranting on this forum and asking silly questions, but by day i'm the lead digital analyst for one of the big 4 marketing communications companies.

Anyways, you guys are getting absolutely extorted. This CPM is off the roof; i've never actually seen a CPM this high when dealing with radio. I'll get in contact with my radio team tomorrow morning, but at the moment, unless i've missed some sort of targeting, i really cant see why you are paying so much.

If your dealing with any sort of advertising please contact me, i have access to pretty much the entire industry and know a good deal when i see one. I also have a team of 6 other analysts whos job it is to find out whatever i want to know across the other major mediums.

I'd be more than happy to assist for free as i see NXT's potential.

Please shoot me a PM with what i can help with, or if you just want to run by any advertising opportunities.

What are your thoughts on targeted Reddit ads?

Use reddit to build audiences within reddit. Don't use it for anything else. reddit is perfect for awareness and brand campaigns when all you want to do is spread awareness and build a community inside reddit. But for anything else, its a massive waste of time. Reddit's userbase is similar to facebook's in that user's are not in a correct state of mind to effectively push a product.

My advice would be to start up a small test campaign, target some of the bitcoin related subreddits and have the ad clickthrough to the NXT subreddit. The only issue with this is the NXT subreddit has very little information and will fail in engaging the user, so before any money is pumped into this, it is important the NXT subreddit actually contains enough information for the consumer to keep them there, and to make them want to come back.

Honestly, i wouldn't push anymore than the above. from an advertisers prospective, reddits advertising is not suited for anything other than building communities inside of reddit. Anything else usually ends up as a leakage of funds that could be spent better elsewhere.

Anyways, i've got a lunch with condenast either friday or monday, ill have to check my diary, but yeh, i'll ask them what they think, chances are they will just agree with me but i will see, they might have some new innovative features that could help us target/track.

Thanks,

Thanks for the reply and it's great to have you as part of the community! When you get a chance I'd love to get your take on the continuing discussion regarding marketing vs. tech development. Basically, the questions revolve around funding levels, where to spend marketing dollars, and how important it is to have the tech be "idiot proof" before a major marketing campaign begins. Thanks.

Have just sent PM to swisscex.com exchange and asked if they could add NXT. After that I saw,
that they have a support page under faq https://www.swisscex.com/faq where developers could
contact them.
I'm by far not technical savy, so maybe a developer could help them
to add NXT.
For the moment fees are: Buy 0.15% Sell 0.2%, Withdraw 0.3%
and may be lower it soon.
Should we wait for the answer or may someone step in?

Maybe something like this for Windows users?

Thanks for the warm words. Is there already a thread for this? if not, do you know roughly what page the discussion starts?

i dont know why web designer put that in there, Ive asked QBTC to get it out

[Daedelus]

Whoa there. You mad Bro?

First of all, I can tell you that the first person in any argument to resort to insults, automatically loses. It means that you don't have anything to bring to the table. Yeah, I get your "argument" about global means global. I never claimed to be an expert on climate science, but I DO know that consensus has NO place in the scientific method, which you didn't adress. Why don't you read up a little on Nazi Germany science, and then tell me about "conspiracy theories" when it comes to scientific consensus?... And lastly, that's fine if you want to think that global warming is man made. Just once again, don't take anyone's money through force (taxation). It's immoral, and quite frankly the reason war exists.

Consensus > New evidence > New consensus

World is flat > Eratosthenes presents new evidence > New consensus

Where did I go wrong

Okay I used this tutorial on the "Generated an incorrect block. Waiting for the next one..." bug on NRS 0.5.11:

https://nextcoin.org/index.php/topic,1675.0.html

Downloaded the latest NXT-files and then it all updated. Working fine now.

But one question. My forged 200 NXT are gone? Didn't they make it into the blockchain?

Here a comparison of the working client and the corrupt:

Any ideas?

You were probably on a forked chain. Now that you are on the right chain, they don't show up anymore. It's gotten my hopes up a few times

@mww:  I encourage you to read the 25 pages of the marketing thread here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=412243.0 .  There is a proposal to divert 3,000,000 NXT currently worth $210,000 to marketing efforts in 2014, and that is on top of existing funds already allocated for NXT marketing.  PM Salsacz for those figures.  The total available to support any NXT efforts you get involved in is probably over a quarter million dollars.  

Oh, you might post a request over there or PM Salsacz or landomata to see the master consolidated NXT marketing plan.  Most quarter-million dollar ad budgets are required to have a master consolidated marketing plan before spending a single dime of money, right?  Isn't that how they do it in your top 4 marketing company?

This thread has heated discussions breaking out everywhere so it would be difficult to pin down the starting point. I see Rickyjames has pointed you to a thread. I'm sure others will weigh in.
