NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information

[Ola]

The gentleman at bitcoinprbuzz is ready, willing and able to give nxt the buzz in needs in the outlets:  Yahoo Finance, Wall Street Journal, coindesk etc...He expressed his frustration and indicated that all talks with him regarding PR have completely seized recently..Now my question is do we want PR? or do we not want PR? why is no one leading this charge? If its the case that we are waiting for things to stabilize then fine tell me this and Ill shut up.. Otherwise why complain if a professional is clearly offering and all we are doing is ignoring him. So give me the reigns in  the marketing department if you will. I will work with Bitcoinprbuzz to get a sensational article in the above mentioned outlets and more. I have a lot of background in marketing as well as in programming so this is a piece of cake.

[Come-from-Beyond]

Come-from-beyond In p2p application especially in my poker app, how can we transfer the security from nxt to be used in a p2p application to remove 51% attack capabilities as an added protection? I am interested in this because I am devising global accounting schemes confirmed and verified by participators in the p2p poker app. It would be nice to get your input in this.

I'm not sure I got ur question. Could u paraphrase it?

That's a disadvantage of a decentralized system. U don't know whom to ask...

How can we take advantage of nxt security and resistance to 51% attacks to use in p2p applications that might be subject to 51% attacks also.

Post this on the Nxt forum NextCoin.org, give a donation address and ask people to contribute money to pay him.  How much does the community have to raise?

[Ola]

I have invited him to this thread. He should appear here with his donation address, he goes by "psybits"

Host all data on the blockchain. Then u won't need a server, a domain name and u can run a controlling node thru Tor. Whoever decides to attack ur poker game will have to bring the whole network down.

One of the (hall)marked nodes crashed and let me to spot a flaw in blockchain downloading algo. I'm fixing it right now.

How much does the community have to raise?

If we pay him, say, 1M then it's ~5'000 USD. But after his work done this million may be worth 500'000 USD...

[Bitventurer]

how does the author of the soft wants people to support NXT, when the code is not yet open  

can give you an example: I've bought 1m next, and half of it I'ved already shared with my friends for free... BUT the whole stake is still on my account since all my friends 4 of them devs , and 1 noob:

a) don't want to install the wallet since is not open source and it's risky (devs case)
b) can not install it coz its to complex (noob case)
c) don't have the the time and patience to install the soft (my case)  

and after this you still write that you will stop the project ?
i think you need understand that until you wont release the code in public
you dont need to expect any one to do anything, did satoshi made any kind of this noise ? )))

peace

approximately 0.5 btc..I am unsure how much that is in nxt...it should be somewhere around the range of $500

Thanks for the support Ola! Some members of NTX dev team expressed interest in a Press Release but unfortunately until now I had not heard anything else from them.

0.5 BTC to 1 BTC will ensure we can do a massive PR campaign

The only NXT address we have is on the dgex exchange - where NXT deposits are made manually.

So BTC donations would be best. All BTC will be used to purchase NXT on the dgex exchange - as I want to hold more NXT as well as supporting the project

BTC address for NXT campaign: 1DhWW2JhTFn1sx8wrMTDPDv6UnDUsbShnk

Once we reach at least 0.5 BTC we can get the ball rolling

Depending on the size of the marketing fund - we can do as many Press Releases as the budget will allow.

I will update this thread once we have reached 0.5 BTC - and then I will work on writing up the Press Release.

0.05 sent, hope this will do good for NXT

1M == 5 BTC

Shouldn't we have soft ready before doing press releases? Can u put that on hold for a while?

Edit: Also it's better to have source code officially open, coz most of trolls ignore the fact that non-obfuscated java binaries r open source actually. With officially open sources they'll have less chances to troll.

The soft looks like a neverending project. If you compare the current client with the released on day 1, the changes are minimal. I don't see how it will be different 4 weeks from now.
