Just so that msin has something to read on the toilet, here are EvilDaves thoughts for the day. (Well, my NXT-related thoughts, anyway):
Thank the great Cthulhu for this:I'm setting one up now and if opticalcarrier agrees it can be the new forums.nxtcrypto.org:
http://107.170.117.237Now, all we have to do is actually move our collective asses on over. I think we have out-grown using BTT for core NXT discussions. I know there are historical reasons to be here, but having our main discussion thread within the forum of another crypto-currency is a bit........
crap, really.
We should also keep on using nextcoin.org, IMHO. Some members of the BTT crew won't agree with me but: Graviton, DGEX, Cointropolis, Offspring, etc, are all important elements of the wider NXT community. More co-operation, less bitching. We can settle our differences in the Thunderdome after we get NXT to world domination:
We have no 100% thrust forum. nxtcrypto can go down anytime and nextcoin is too affiliated with graviton dgex. I am wrong
Yes, you're wrong. Nextcoin.org is working perfectly for any community group efforts that are being coordinated there, and there are a bunch. The initial badmouths have done good job in twisting the image of nextcoin.org - which IS a community forum despite me being the admin. The forum has an active moderation policy operated by community members. Distracting and harassing content is not tolerated, which is a positive aspect since it keeps progress very focused. Fortunately we have sailed smoothly with our 5100+ members since the few initial trolling inclinations were got rid of.
I encourage transfer of community efforts to nextcoin.org from this clumsy thread, and will soon have more good news that will technically kick up support of project management over there.
Offspring standalone crypto client v0.3.4e has been released
Main updates: Clickable blockchain explorer and Asset Exchange with current testnet features enabled.
http://offspring.dgex.com/Need to find time to test Offspring, really.
Moving on to the rest of the crypto world:guys we fell behind doge coin again on
http://cryptmarketcap.com/ this can not stand. i dont care if nxt ever goes more than a penny higher than dogecoin just for christ sake don't let it fall behind that damned doge again.
I don't see a long-term future for Doge
i wish i could be so confident. i dont buy any doges as a matter of principal but im afraid that thing may have a great deal more staying power than it deserves.
Dont forget that Doge is only maintaining its position by frantically making as many little doggies as possible.
NXT is maintaining its value, more or less, while the price per individual doggy is falling fast....
As for the rest of crypto-world, I'm beginning to lose my faith in almost everything else out there. Auroracoin was bad enough, but Aphoditecoin ?
Rolls eyeballs.
Just spent the last couple of days selling everything sellable and moving it into NXT. (+some Blackcoin and Bitshares, for some reason)
I've kept a handful of emergency BTC, but I'm slowly losing faith there as well.
This post on
prices and linkage to BTC needs to be re-posted:
Any theories on the recent price movements in Nxt? Both the downswing and the upswing of recent days show a striking independence from the price of Bitcoin, and it seems like Nxt and AUR are the only top-10 alts whose price movements have become a bit detached from BTC. (Litecoin's brief spike was clearly due to talk of a big Chinese exchange being about to add LTC). Are Nxt's recent movements due entirely to the whales unloading a big pile, then the pile eventually getting all bought up? Or is something else/more going on? Other factors seem to be the imminent release of the AE and the new development of Nxt mining. Thoughts?
I've posted this before....
I think BTC will soon register as a cause of global warming the way its is soaking up the worlds energy supply for something that is a mathematical fiction and simply not needed.
Most crypto enthusiasts are sitting on mining H/W of some form and therefore tend to be enthusiastic about new coins they can rape mine with the H/W they can't use on other coins anymore.. hence the lack of
Putting aside distribution issues PoS seems to be more about technology, innovation and driving value through use - which is a lot harder but much healthier in the long term for everyone involved.
The dip - some FUD but more importantly NXT stakeholders improving distribution by selling....
The rise - My personal view I think NXT is breaking through in technology and innovation while others are just talking about it.... The first two of these are evident in this thread, the 3rd one, driving use, is harder but I'm sure as some of the innovations which are very close are delivered then we will see this happen.
EDIT: I think its this community that helps drive our independence from the bitcoin world...
nxt gives meaning to the term dumpcoin
the only coin where they dump without pump
maybe you should consider name change
Bravo, keep posting!
I sometimes think I want some of Elmos drugs.....
A very quick "welcome" to a new assimilation victim....we are the Borg, indeed.So now that the "fatal flaw" has been discovered I think it is time that we realised that we really need to "pull together" or risk losing to a "clone".
I fear we're going to start seeing the "C" word a lot now. And not in a good competitive way. More like a "have a look at the craptacular list on coinmarketcap" kind of way.
If I am not mistaken... injected fatal flaw != Nxt clone trap... right C-f-B?
No, that was one of the traps for lazy cloners.
Thank you very much for the bounty.
The last time I came up with those two flaws (i think I came up with them here in the thread) I got laughed at and so I forgot about it.
Now I, just for the sake of it, posted them in the bounty thread and one of them was the 100,000 NXT hit
Thank you very much for the fast payout. Now that I own this many NXT (which I will of course hold) I would like to contribute my part to the project. I have still doubts about the account mining issue ;-) I have made a small reference implementation (which I would never make public except give it to the devs) which is capable of doing 10 Megahashes (or Megaaccounts) per second on a simple CPU. At some point in the future, this might be an issue.
Nice one, Evel-K, your distinctiveness has been added to our own.
Last couple of serious points:Fees. Once the new code is in place to go under the 1NXT barrier, fees can be reset easily. We voted a couple of weeks ago to go to 0.1 NXT and I feel that that is what we should do for the short term. Take little steps with big changes, don't jump to 0.01 just yet.
Asset Exchange.Why are blacklists never a way to go? You'd rather let the known, proven scammer stay in the asset exchange?
Because blacklists (and whitelists) will inevitably be politicized.
Trust is one of the most "difficult problems to solve" (as Mike Hearn if you don't believe me) and instead we seem to just "throw up ideas" and think we have a "good solution".
"For every complex problem, there is a solution that is simple, neat, and wrong."And, though I still bear a grudge for being called Hillary Clinton,
I'm +1 with IveBeenBit here,
allow all trade pairs, not just x/NXT and NXT/xWhat would guarantee its universal acceptance? If trading anything on the network for USD's is allowed the only guarantee is that NXT will be the currency that fees are charged in. I think this would only serve to make the NXT currency less accepted and less in demand. I agree that NXT should have to compete for dominance, but as a platform on a whole; and the base currency of that platform should not be undermined by allowing other currencies that level of influence within the platform.
For all the posting you are doing on this topic, you show no signs of having considered the mathematical reality of what happens when $500 million of business flows into the Nxt system, and they are forced to use only Nxt to settle their trades.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=345619.msg5815603#msg5815603Furthermore, you fail to acknowledge that if a European wants to trade Euros for a commodity or an equity, he will favor the platform that allows him to denominate his trade in Euros. A Nxt fork will emerge that allows that, and we'll all be sitting here as kings of an abandoned currency.
We can't set up a means of universal exchange, then expect the world to convert their assets into NXT and back again. Just won't work, IMHO. Don't forget that fees will still be in NXT, no matter what is traded.
Phew, that was a long one (as my g/f likes to say).
Last random idea:Block 100,000 is coming up fast.....any ideas for a celebration?
