NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information

Maybe Vitalik looked through the Nxt code and found the killswitch you talk about. If we ever start to look like a serious threat to Etherium, he will nuke our blockchain.

I doubt, more likely that he doesn't take Nxt seriously.

He doesn't. You can see it on his face (on Tai Zen's videos)

Hi CfB, ETA?

Hi. ~2015, coz I have to solve the problem of a medium. Internet can't be used for that coz it can be easily switched off. Wi-Fi Direct looks like a good candidate but broad/multicasting issue is not solved there yet.

         He doesn't have to take us seriously if he can delete our blockchain on a whim.

@CFB

Have Ethereum dev's answered all your questions?

No. They ignored one question.

What questions? Was this posted somewhere, or a private conversation?

is ~2015 mean before 2015 or around 2015?

Somewhere from 2014 to 2016.

I'm SHOCKED the bunny didn't work!!

I think that CfB's unanswered question is something we can use to our advantage (others *in the loop* already know this).

All of us (i think) in the cryptocurrency space want to spread the message about this new technology, medium of exchange.  I am putting alot of time into contributing time and resources into a project which I feel adds to this message.  Many people who are aware of cryptocurrency are not participating in it or hold any coins of any sort.  I feel strongly that my finished book will introduce new comers and sceptics of cryptocurrencies so as to give them enough confidence to get involved
rrors, these are easily sorted.  I do have a full time job as well as trying to get this project completed too.

Please stop spamming this thread with your "project".
This "book" is absurd and I hope, nobody spends money on this.

If not through the internet as a medium then how? this perplexes me. Maybe something like open garden but Isp's are still required..you could build your own mesh network from scratch, but how about the infrastructure are you a recluse billionaire coder?

Edit: the only other way is if you are aware of tesla's research and innovation of transmitting data over long distances..without wired connectivity

In the video, he states "good luck [to NXT]" when I asked what prevented NXT from also developing a scripting language.  

What does this mean?

I can only guess that he knows something that we don't know. Maybe some hidden obstacles that r very hard to avoid. I bet Vitalik spent much more time mulling the idea of Turing-complete scripting language hosted on a blockchain than anyone else, so I tend to think that we overlooked something and will face serious problems in the future.

Good job on the video Asian Prepper!

It seemed to me that both of them were pretty clear about what he meant "good luck with that" in that they didn't think it was possible to have a scripting language in this kind of platform unless the foundation was a scripting language.  I have no idea technically what that means, but it seemed like they did.  One thing I know, knew doors open up where people didn't think doors existed.  He did admit on the surface NXT is planning to achieve all the same things that Ethereum is doing in the short term and NXT has a head start.  It seems like NXT and Ethereum are both in a really good position, but for different reasons.  This is going to be a great couple of years!

Radio. Good old radio. WiFi can be used to build a mesh network (radius of range from 60 to 200 meters for one node). Luckily, Qubic doesn't require global availability of data and works even for isolated groups.

So basically the functionality will be limited to a geographic area until more nodes join to strengthen the network and spread connectivity, because the more nodes= greater radius..How long will that take? have any idea? even then you could have supernodes who are connected to internet..

One powerful retransmitter is enough to reach almost any point on the earth. Or a directional antenna could be used to send data over 10 km.

Dunno how long it will take.

Wasn't asking...  just posting the message I got...  please answer the other question in regard to getting Qubits.

What do u mean about recap on the ways of getting qubics? What do u not like?

CfB, what is your favourite beer?

Sorry...  I probably confused you...  I can't recall anything I read a while ago on the forum...  you said there will be no "IPO" and was wondering if you can remind me how Qubits will be earned. 

Truly appreciated!

Quorum will decide. One is supposed to be rewarded for useful work, like storing and distribution of transactions.
