Dear supporters, I want to talk with you about the future of Nxt.org. I'm working with Passion_ltc together to make this website the center for the whole Nxt ecosystem. We have many great ideas for the website, but before we start we need to talk about something inconvenient: the money. I paid 157,000 NXT and 6 BTC for the domain. A few guys maybe are thinking that this is far too much, but I don't think so. With Nxt.org we finally have a quality domain for a quality product, and if we consider that Nxt will be the future of money then the money was well spent! 2Kool4Skewl asked on nextcoin.org about acquiring the domain. And I'm pretty sure that someone said there was a bounty for this domain. So I want to ask you if someone knows more about the bounty. Maybe I could get a nice sum of the money back though this? Thank you very much! Greetings, BitVenturer Just give the community the domain for 157,000 NXT and 6 BTC. Maybe a little premium on top. But that's it. The community didn't appreciate the fact that I got the name, my effort and resources... You think that the name doesn't cost 1.8M ? "Community" != "Customer" I'll give you 250k and donate the domain back to the community. 1.8M Nxt is 172.8 Btc. That's a high markup that I don't think the community can afford for one domain name. Let's assume that Nxt is 0.00007 Btc, which was probably approximately the rate Nxt was trading for around the time you purchased the domain. You spent 6 Btc and 157,000 Nxt for the domain. 6 Btc / 0.00007 Btc per Nxt = 85714.28 Nxt + 157,000 Nxt = 242,715 Nxt So, you spent approximately 243k Nxt on the domain name. You would like 1,800,000 Nxt. I can appreciate the fact that you would like to be rewarded for getting the domain, but I think a 7400% markup is too much. If everyone can agree on an amount, I'm sure the community would have no problem giving you a bounty for registering the domain. You would have to transfer control of the domain over to opticalc. |

The Bitcoin network protocol was designed to be extremely flexible. It can be used to create timed transactions, escrow transactions, multi-signature transactions, etc. The current features of the client only hint at what will be possible in the future.

Hey guys, how much NXT do I actually need to forge some blocks? I currently have 10, yes ten, no not 10K, and it says that I can generate a block in 22429 days... Is this for real?  Can anyone pls to top me up, so that I would not need to wait for several centuries 1762953482260651997  Thanks! That sounds about right. Account control is being implemented which will allow you to lease your Nxt's forging power to a pool. This will allow smaller forgers to get consistent fees in relation to their Nxt holdings. |

Can anyone pls to top me up, so that I would not need to wait for several centuries 1762953482260651997 Thanks! No begging please. This is not Dogecoin. Buy some nxt at an exchange. If you don't have money wash cars, walk dogs, shovel snow, do anything to buy as much as possible it will be worth it. Even with 100k nxt you will not make any money forging so get that mentality out of your head from the start and welcome to the beginning of the rest of your life. Or you can mine any alt coin and miss out on being rich and being a part of the new economy.  |

The big rule of wiki editing is be bold, because mistakes can always be fixed, changes can always be reverted, but nothing happens if no one starts doing it. I'm a hypocrite for saying this (but I'm working on it!). There's social conditioning holding us back, like in the company of so many smart people here, I keep feeling like I'm not the guy who should be doing this. But in order to achieve a truly free market of both price and ideas (which I believe we're all working towards), we need to grow past this, be willing to put our ideas and works up on the frontline, even if they're premature, flawed or even awful. Let other people improve it as time goes by. And in return, we should not regard those who stepped up first and fell short harshly.
+1 People, write on the wiki! Lets make it less of a ghost town! |

Is anyone noticing less forging with 0.7.5?
I have enough to forge every 30 hours or so, but lately the targets are SO LOW, that it's been days since I hit a block. Tonight it got down to 30 minutes, but nothing seems to have happened, nothing in the blockchain explorer, and no alert from mynxt.info and now its back to 4.5 days.
seems weird, dunno.

Part 2 of ZipZap and GoCoin
When I spoke to the guys at the conference, both were asking basically the same thing:
"How is the market we attract different than Bitcoin/Litecoin"
This is an extremely valuable point. If we don't bring in a different market segment, why add redundancy. I know some people don't like the green/eco area, that's cool, but it's a legit difference. As Bitcoin continues to get larger, some people aren't going to be fond of the amount of resources it utilizes. Nxt should be able to appeal to that market on a mass scale.
What else? Why add us if you already have Bitcoin/Litecoin?
This is important, not just mental masturbation. I'd like to make contact again by the end of the week.
Green is nice, but not the important thing. NXT is PoS NXT is a whole ecosystem NXT is new code. ( when they find a flaw in BTC, its not in NXT) Which is great for us, but does not answer the demographic questions we were presented. Nikel and I talked in detail about everything you said above, while that's fantastic for the crypto nerds among us... (PoS gives me a binary chubby) it doesn't give a reason for a payment processor to add us when Bitcoin and Litecoin will already satisfy most of the assumed market. Does that make sense? Try talking ecosystem with your local mom and pop shop down the road.  This is exactly why face to face meetings are so important, you can cut right through the bull and figure out why we're not already accepted in specific services. I needed to wait to follow-up due to client development.. now we're in a place to demo a few different types, follow-up is ready. One argument can be we'll attract a much more technical base. The flaws in Bitcoin code also makes some sense, but that's more of a retention than attraction tool. Are there specific market segments that we could bring to the party that the others might not initially attract without serious effort. Maybe you can help me expand on those ideas and help frame it as a benefit to those organizations?It's not about us, it's about how our involvement can benefit the company which also benefits us. That's why part 1 is about the liquidity charts that both parties really appreciated. Another is the amount of money we have stashed away for marketing and projects.. we're serious about developing and promoting Nxt (along with it's partners) for the long term. I believe that is a benefit the others can't claim. We believe in the decentralization of the security of our network. PoW currencies get centralized. BTC is getting more and more centralized. Now with ASICs for scrypt appearing, Litecoin will follow the same fate. Decentralization appeals to a wide mass of people who are not comfortable with their security being controlled by a select few. |

Dgex.com and Bter.com have the most liquidity. |

[TEST RELEASE OF NODECOIN MINER] I did a quick proof of concept NXTcoin today. The coin is actually a NXT AE Asset called "nodecoin", there are 1 billion nodecoins. I made a nodeminer that has been tested on Mac and Linux, no guarantees on Windows. It is is pretty portable C in a self-contained file, so there is a decent chance it will compile under Windows. Let me know if you get it ported to Windows. OK, so nodecoin was a great idea from Mises_77 yesterday. It inspired me to do some programming and I took a lot of shortcuts. No complaining about lack of features, it is less than 12 hours old! How does it work? You simply run nodeminer from the command line with your NXT acct id. It does not needs your passkey. For now it is hardcoded to testnet and has a very fast cycle time of 10 seconds. Every 10 seconds that you are forging, 1 nodecoin is "created". However, I was lazy and didnt bother to keep track of who forged which coins, and I certainly didnt database the incoming info. I just add up everyone's total into unclaimed nodecoins. If you are forging, you will be able to see the total unclaimed nodecoins. Now comes the fun part. ANYBODY can claim all the unclaimed nodecoins by sending in 1 NXT!! Of course, if there is more than 1 bidder, then the highest bidder wins. I would like to test higher load scenarios, so the more people that test it, the better. There will be a contest. The one who has the most nodecoins in about 48 hours, will win a 1000 NXT bounty. Please report any fatal bugs. build with: gcc -o nodeminer nodeminer.c -lcurl run with: ./nodeminder <NXT ACCT NUMBER> James // Totally self-cointained nodecoin miner: nodeminer.c

[TEST RELEASE OF NODECOIN MINER] I did a quick proof of concept NXTcoin today. The coin is actually a NXT AE Asset called "nodecoin", there are 1 billion nodecoins. I made a nodeminer that has been tested on Mac and Linux, no guarantees on Windows. It is is pretty portable C in a self-contained file, so there is a decent chance it will compile under Windows. Let me know if you get it ported to Windows. OK, so nodecoin was a great idea from Mises_77 yesterday. It inspired me to do some programming and I took a lot of shortcuts. No complaining about lack of features, it is less than 12 hours old! How does it work? You simply run nodeminer from the command line with your NXT acct id. It does not needs your passkey. For now it is hardcoded to testnet and has a very fast cycle time of 10 seconds. Every 10 seconds that you are forging, 1 nodecoin is "created". However, I was lazy and didnt bother to keep track of who forged which coins, and I certainly didnt database the incoming info. I just add up everyone's total into unclaimed nodecoins. If you are forging, you will be able to see the total unclaimed nodecoins. Now comes the fun part. ANYBODY can claim all the unclaimed nodecoins by sending in 1 NXT!! Of course, if there is more than 1 bidder, then the highest bidder wins. I would like to test higher load scenarios, so the more people that test it, the better. There will be a contest. The one who has the most nodecoins in about 48 hours, will win a 1000 NXT bounty. Please report any fatal bugs. build with: gcc -o nodeminer nodeminer.c -lcurl run with: ./nodeminder <NXT ACCT NUMBER> James // Totally self-cointained nodecoin miner: nodeminer.c
// by jl777
// MIT License
//
// build with: gcc -o nodeminer nodeminer.c -lcurl
// run with: nohup ./nodeminder <NXT ACCT NUMBER> &
//
// It will print out the combined nodecoins earned, the highest bidder in a block will receive all the nodecoins
// Just send NXT to testnet acct 18232225178877143084 to bid for the unclaimed nodecoins

Hey guys, how much NXT do I actually need to forge some blocks? I currently have 10, yes ten, no not 10K, and it says that I can generate a block in 22429 days... Is this for real? Can anyone pls to top me up, so that I would not need to wait for several centuries 1762953482260651997 Thanks! That sounds about right. Account control is being implemented which will allow you to lease your Nxt's forging power to a pool. This will allow smaller forgers to get consistent fees in relation to their Nxt holdings. Okay, I will wait for that then. Is it only possible to buy NXTs with Bitcoins at the moment? Yes. There are multiple exchanges listed on the first post of the thread. Dgex.com and Bter.com have the most liquidity. Oh, I see. I'll have to mine something else and change it to Bitcoin prior to exchanging it to NXTs then... |

Now comes the fun part. ANYBODY can claim all the unclaimed nodecoins by sending in 1 NXT!!
Of course, if there is more than 1 bidder, then the highest bidder wins. I would like to test higher load scenarios, so the more people that test it, the better.
There will be a contest. The one who has the most nodecoins in about 48 hours, will win a 1000 NXT bounty. Please report any fatal bugs.
This is brilliant! * goes to pop some corn * |

[TEST RELEASE OF NODECOIN MINER]
Any solutions for those not comfortable compiling, using command line tools etc? edit: I ask because I just discovered Xcode 5 no longer includes GCC (Apple apparently switched to clang).  |

Yes. There are multiple exchanges listed on the first post of the thread. Dgex.com and Bter.com have the most liquidity. You can buy Nxt on Bter using CNY. |

[TEST RELEASE OF NODECOIN MINER] I did a quick proof of concept NXTcoin today. The coin is actually a NXT AE Asset called "nodecoin", there are 1 billion nodecoins. I made a nodeminer that has been tested on Mac and Linux, no guarantees on Windows. It is is pretty portable C in a self-contained file, so there is a decent chance it will compile under Windows. Let me know if you get it ported to Windows. OK, so nodecoin was a great idea from Mises_77 yesterday. It inspired me to do some programming and I took a lot of shortcuts. No complaining about lack of features, it is less than 12 hours old! How does it work? You simply run nodeminer from the command line with your NXT acct id. It does not needs your passkey. For now it is hardcoded to testnet and has a very fast cycle time of 10 seconds. Every 10 seconds that you are forging, 1 nodecoin is "created". However, I was lazy and didnt bother to keep track of who forged which coins, and I certainly didnt database the incoming info. I just add up everyone's total into unclaimed nodecoins. If you are forging, you will be able to see the total unclaimed nodecoins. Now comes the fun part. ANYBODY can claim all the unclaimed nodecoins by sending in 1 NXT!! Of course, if there is more than 1 bidder, then the highest bidder wins. I would like to test higher load scenarios, so the more people that test it, the better. There will be a contest. The one who has the most nodecoins in about 48 hours, will win a 1000 NXT bounty. Please report any fatal bugs. build with: gcc -o nodeminer nodeminer.c -lcurl run with: ./nodeminder <NXT ACCT NUMBER> James // Totally self-cointained nodecoin miner: nodeminer.c
// by jl777
James, output from windows...  not sure if it is working as expected... |

James, output from windows... not sure if it is working as expected... I think I messed up the running version when compiling new versions. I am getting same error. Let me fix it. |
