SWARM NEEDED:

spam this thread with NXT requests!!!

Done  

And finally caught up with the thread. What can i say NXT makes me excited lol all these features are amazing you guys have knowledge and experience i could only dream of have having. Im pretty confident that collectivley we are reshaping and changing the future of crypto currencys.

NXT community rules  

[punkrock]

Maybe change it to a simpler version:

Unregistered users = 3 votes per hour!

Just click 3 times on the VOTE Button for NXT - that's it!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> PLEASE VOTE! <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Much color, so many less words, yammy nxt

We should be in 1st place in a little bit.

Nxt just hit first place with 35k votes! Nice job!

But for how long does Nxt have to stay on first place? Or will the poll end at a specific time?

The poll doesn't end. The one which is 1st place, will be added daily or so. It will be interesting to see if the admin of Mintpal is able to implement NXT. This brings us back to this topic:

We need a public tutorial made by devs for exchanger-admins, so they can add NXT as easy as possible.

What is the correct flow to encrypt messages? Can anyone explain in detail?

I just messaged /r/cryptoCurrency and asked them to include our subreddit in their sidebar!

Please finally confirm, that messages "DEBUG: Block XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX not accepted. Previous block id doesn't match" are not a problem. I get these messages on 90% blocks of blockchain on my Android TV stick public node. Nobody explained what does it mean and I don't want be a problem on the whole network with my public node.

Same for me with 0.7.6 and a fresh new blockchain download.

Me too. I copied previous files to the new version, but still a fresh download.

QUICK UPDATE

Atomic-Trade will be adding Nxt.  I'm paying for integration with my own funds since AT agreed to add USD/Nxt trade abilities.  This will allow any users to buy Nxt with USD directly.  Currently AT only offers USD/BTC trading, so we will have an advantage over other alts on the exchange. Also, when I get home this evening, expect Nxt to lead the voting in Mintpal

WoW MSIN,

Thanks a lot! This is a really great community! So excited!

In the novel, augmented reality is dominant, with humans interacting with virtual overlays of reality almost all of the time. This is accomplished by wearing smart clothing providing gesture recognition and contact lenses that can overlay and replace what the eye would normally see with computer graphics, using advanced virtual retinal display (VRD) technology. In addition, haptic feedback is possible by overlaying graphics onto a physical machine such as a robot

nxt monolith prototype is here  







More pics https://www.dropbox.com/sh/dgtssbde40wx4dt/x59vAKeILe

This was actually quite a bit of work. I had to polish the outer edges by hand with several grades of wet sandpaper and do the final touch with polishing paste. I also carved the outer edges of the logo to smooth the edges. 20mm acrylic seems to be a tough material even for a high power laser-cutter so it has to be finalised by hand. Which actually gives it more value imo, handmade in Finland

This is very first prototype and it came out rather nice. I would be very willing to post this prototype anywhere to be used as promotional material in bitcoin-conferences and other pr-events. If there was some spare nxt in marketing funds I'm up for it.

See the original monolith post, more monoliths to come.

Holy crap! That is cool. So awesome that it should be made illegal.

I have some marketing text I've written I would appreciate your comments on.  In particular, please point out any errors.  I am considering distributing this at Texas Bitcoin Conference.  If you see a part of it you want to comment on, PLEASE edit down to just the section you want to discuss.  The last thing I want to do is create slab walls of full quote text here for the next 20 pages...

NXT Vs. Bitcoin

Brainwallet Accessability
Bitcoin requires storing a digital file (the “wallet”) for use on only one computer. NXT allows knowing a short, ultrastrong password (35+ truly random characters) to access NXT funds from anywhere on Earth.

Network Simplicity
The Bitcoin network requires competitive Proof-of Work (PoW) GHash/sec mining using hi-cost, hi-energy, custom ASIC nodes.  The NXT network uses cooperative Proof-of-Stake (PoS) transparent forging between $35, 4W commodity Raspberry Pi nodes.

Transaction Rapidity
Bitcoin takes 10+ minutes per block for a max throughput of 7 transactions per second (TPS), currently using a 16GB (and growing) blockchain.  NXT currently takes 1 minute per block, with improvements in block timing speedup and routine chain pruning expected to support an eventual 1000 TPS.

True Anonymity
Bitcoin transactions between wallets are recorded forever on its blockchain.  NXT  achieves true transaction anonymity via the no-trust-needed zerocoin (testing now) / zerocash (coming soon) protocol developed at John Hopkins University.

Active Community
5000+ NXTers from 50+ countries are united in a vibrant online community.  We don’t just talk, we act.  We’re growing. Come join us!

NXT First 100 Days – WOW!

NXT’s genesis block was cast Nov 28, 2013.  Only 100 days later, by early March 2014, NXT has shown it’s more than “just a coin”.  A 2nd generation cryptocurrency written from the ground up in new Java code, NXT has rolled out numerous financial service capabilities that will revolutionize the crypto world – and more are coming!  As an alternative to long, complex transfer addresses, NXT offers a text “alias” registration system on its blockchain with over 60,000 registered in its first 100 days.  NXT has demonstrated a push-button interface for new altcoin creation atop its blockchain that allows ANYONE to create their own new coins, not just a limited  programmer priesthood.  Most significantly, NXT has a parallel testnet CURRENTLY TESTING crypto-signed peer-to-peer asset transfer and blockchain streaming asset quotes.  This unique capability offers an alternative to existing exchanges.  Don’t wait on next year’s teenaged ethereal dreams - join us on NXT Exchange TODAY!
  
Speaking of exchanges: almost a billion NXT has changed hands on numerous exchanges such as Dgex.com or Bter.com.  And Cryptsy is coming!  On Feb 8 Let’s Talk Bitcoin #82 at 13:30, “Big Vern” of Cryptsy commented: "[NXT] is not a cookie cutter coin…technical implementation [at Crypsy] is going to take a little more time...it's popular…it’s fair…I feel comfortable with [NXT].”

The NXT Bottom Line

1,000,000,000 genesis block NXT were  distributed to 73 founders who responded with a Bitcoin or less to a Bitcointalk [ANN] investment thread that was public and open for six weeks.  You could have been founder 74.  Now, with NXT only 100 days old, early mass distribution of “coins” from founders to users is still underway at exchanges like Dgex and Bter.  At this writing, NXT costs under 0.1 mBTC each.  Upcoming events which may drive that price higher include release of full open source code on April 4, inclusion of NXT on Cryptsy, announcement of new features, and an ongoing major advertising push by our Chinese members.

NXT doesn’t mine new coins – it forges (recycles) old ones.  NXT node operators (forgers, in the blacksmith sense of the term) use cheap CPU computers to receive transaction fees imbedded in any blocks they create and add to the NXT blockchain.    As a 100% Proof of Stake coin, forgers are selected to forge new blocks in proportion to the total NXT “coins” (or “stake”) they already own.  This results in a small return on investment proportional to your current holdings– like bank savings account interest.

NXT is not a mined, Bitcoin-based price-pop altcoin of the week.  NXT is creating a new financial ecosystem for use in coming years, based on cheap nodes for the common good.

NXT Is Green

Ecological?  Financial?  BOTH !!!

Bitcoin depends on a small mining node network fighting for their cut of  3600 newly minted Bitcoins per day.  The available daily operating budget to keep Bitcoin from freezing up is thus $3.6M or less (at $1K/BTC or under) to  generate the current 25 million GHash/s needed daily.  A representative miner “pickaxe” is a Butterfly Labs Monarch costing $2000 and using 350W of power to produce 600 GHash/sec. The current Bitcoin mining network has sunk unit infrastructure costs of at least $83 million and (at $0.10/KwH) ongoing electricity costs of at least $35,000 per day.  

Both costs are rising faster and faster. Exponential growth of Bitcoin’s hashrate (see blockchain.info/charts/hashrate) means mining rigs and energy use will skyrocket out of control, sooner rather than later.  Bitcoin and clones like Doge are by their very nature destined to fail.

NXT solves this problem sustainably.  By using cooperative transparent forging, not competitive gigahash mining, NXT does not have an exponential forcing function at its core that drives its costs and energy consumption ever higher.  A NXT blockchain support network of 1000 Odroid U3 nodes has a one-time unit infrastructure cost of only $60 thousand and uses only $48 per day in electricity – forever.

At this writing, NXT costs under 0.1 satoshi each.

should be "under 10000 satoshi", right?

And you could mention the "solved" 51%-attack-problem, by POS-coins in general and especially with NXT and TF

Any idea how much a Genesis or DarkNXT 'lith will cost?

I am SO tempted!

Wow. thanks for the feedback guys. Keep it coming. NXT is on our list but with so many coins out there, I wanted to double check. Having strong community support is one of our guidelines for coin inclusion and NXT has that.

We did it We are going to be on Bittrex soon!

@JL

You told us that in case of an invalid alias transaction, you need to rollback and rescan the complete blockchain again. Couldn't it be possible to force that rescan over and over again?

No, I didn't say that. An invalid alias transaction will never make it into the blockchain in the first place.
When a block is popped off, if it happened to contain a (necessarily valid) alias assignment transaction, this requires a blockchain scan. The block pop-off has nothing to do with the alias transaction in it, and cannot be forced by an invalid transaction.
