NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information

[mcjavar]

I am stuck at block 28412 (2 hours ago)
Restarted nxt, but it didn´t help. This is not the first time this happens. I think bugs like this needs to get corrected before the 3rd of jan. Or am I the only one having such issues?

For those that use Firefox, please install this extension and test it out:

http://nxtra.org/alias/NxtAliasSystem.xpi (don't bother downloading if you are not using firefox).

This extension enables nxt aliases in the firefox browser.

You will be able to type nxt:google and be redirected to google.

This is the real-world application of the Nxt alias sytem.

I'm trying to do something similar for Chrome too.

Please let me know if this is working for you.

Donations appreciated: 3209075099254042753

Ok. Nice.
Mine aliases are still there

WOW the whole thing is growing so fast. I am super impressed.

I think aldrin's idea is fantastic!
It provides long term funding for the NXTconomy
It also creates a way to implement the NXTcompany idea. The value of NXT will be tied to the amount of transaction fees that are generated. The more transaction fees the higher the price of NXT

By forming peer staffed groups around each NXT feature, each feature will get the best chance to generate the transaction fees.

Right now we have the alias feature, but what happens when we have dozens of features? How will people even know which features exist, what they can do with it, why they should? That is the function of the NXTcompany, to promote its feature. Staffed by a self-selected group of peers, it will be run in a decentralized way.

The problem before aldrin's community fund was that there was no way to give independent value to each NXTcompany. Now there is. Very simply just track the transaction fees each feature is generating.

Now there is no need to vote on what is best, that is subjective votes by random people. Let the NXTconomy decide which NXTcompany is worth the most, simply by adding up the transaction fees.

Trust in math. The more transaction fees the better. The community is served by having as many features actively promoted to maximize total transaction fees.

The staff of each company could simply divide up the community fund distribution, or the company could list as an IPO and the community funds can be distributed to the company shareholders, or some hybrid.

Let's take the alias feature as an example. The recently released plugin is certainly super enabling and I believe the creator of the plugin be the charter member of the NXTalias company. As it is, he is the only one that has done more than buy aliases, so he would get 100% of the community funds allocation for all alias generated transaction fees. Clearly a nice reward for whoever does the plugin for the browser. Each browser has a market share, so if there are multiple plugins, then allocate by browser market share

The benefits to NXT valuation will be tremendous if we can create an incentive system that is directly aligned to maximizing the value of NXT. aldrin's community fund allows the actualization of the NXTcompany concept.

Thank you aldrin!

Any public nodes have their bot access enabled? Please list here if so. Thank you!

node1.nxtbase.com
node21.nxtbase.com
node31.nxtbase.com
node41.nxtbase.com
node51.nxtbase.com
node61.nxtbase.com
node71.nxtbase.com
node81.nxtbase.com
node91.nxtbase.com

I wanted to add these to the firefox addon, but most of these report "Unknown alias" when queried (with alias google).

Must be stuck... i'll restart.

What do we know about drexme:

promised to pay 250 Nxt for translations, never paid:
https://nextcoin.org/index.php/topic,188.0.html

Providing escort with linking on the account with 100 Nxt:
https://nextcoin.org/index.php/topic,1437.msg12148.html#msg12148

Created a giveaway, collected 35k Nxt, deleted Giveaway topic. This is Drexme's giveaway account:
http://87.230.14.1/nxt/nxt.cgi?action=3000&acc=7161646874450697154
9 days ago it was cashed out to the Dgex...

However drexme is still logging to Bitcointalk and nextcoin.org...he is online right now actually

This is a debacle to NXT's reputation. I am just glad it doesn't happen later when NXT is more established with more money involved.  

If this is true that Drexme has stolen the NXT away, it is more encouraged to give some NXT to these guys who has done something for NXT promotion or development rather than just a hero or global moderators.

I have done something for promotion NXT,just because I love NXT.

I was the first person for translation to Chinese both on nextcoin.org and bitcointalk.org
https://nextcoin.org/index.php/topic,164.0.html
https://nextcoin.org/index.php/topic,331.0.html
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=361812.0
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=356559.0

I produced the first video for NXT with more than 600 visits
http://i.youku.com/nextcoin
https://nextcoin.org/index.php/topic,615.0.html

I also the first to promote the NXT on Chinese twitter:
http://weibo.com/nxtcoin
And now have more than 222 followings.

I answered various question for them as many as possible.And there are more and more Chinese people be attractive by NXT.

And now I am contacting with ripple gateway XrpChina.net to add NXT to their gateway.
They have agreed and be dealing with it,and I will follow this process.

Some blogs for NXT in the biggest Chinese blogspot:
http://blog.sina.com.cn/nextcoin

And I will continue to do more promotion ,such as SEO on baidu.com,the biggest Chinese search engine.
http://www.baidu.com/p/Nextcoin


And now ,more and more people ask me for giveaway NXTs.
So,if I can receive some NXT for promotion,it will be very appreciated.
And,I believe that,with more promotion and more Chinese participators,NXT will rocket fast.

Thank you for bounty in advance.

I am stuck at block 28412 (2 hours ago)
Restarted nxt, but it didn´t help. This is not the first time this happens. I think bugs like this needs to get corrected before the 3rd of jan. Or am I the only one having such issues?

I had a lot of such problems some days ago, on completly different computers (different network, different connection configuration, different OS). But now with 0.4.7e and easyCopyString all problems are gone.

I am also running 0.4.7e and using the nodes from the string. But I still have to restart my server 1-2 times a day.

22k.io: nxt alias browser and url shortener

I've made some updates to support "mailto" and "acct".

http and https: do a simple redirect and act as a URL shortener (like bit.ly). example uri: "http://node1.nxtbase.com". http://22k.io/publicnode

mailto: now redirects to compose a new email. example uri: "mailto:twentytwok@fastmail.com". http://22k.io/email22k

acct: displays an account page with balance and list of aliases as 22k links. example uri: "acct:4915862015826193000@nxt". http://22k.io/acct22k

If you want to see links for all of your aliases in one place:

1. create an aliases with the uri: "acct:YOURACCOUNTNUMBERHERE@nxt"
2. wait a little bit for propagation
3. check http://22k.io/YOURALIAS

I'll hack on more URI type later today. Please let me know how it works.

[Come-from-Beyond]

The problem with chrome is that it doesn't support custom protocols (nxt:)

Well, I think this is a problem of Chrome. Ppl will just move to Internet Explorer...

[Come-from-Beyond]

It's so strange today. My block chain was stuck, and then I deleted all the directory and unziped 0.4.7. However, it still stuck at 24225, and there are 32 active peers and 630 known peers. What's the problem?

How many with green flags? Show log of ur console plz.

Hang tight fixing a bug.

Great stuff. But - it appears to append the alias url to http://22k.io/ rather than redirect to the alias url itself?

Fixed!

[ImmortAlex]

Btw, mcjavar, I send you one more 200 coins to support you promotion plans.
I know it's not a big help, but I still hope that some big fat stake holder start to fill ashamed...
And I hope that transaction will be a stimulus for you node to jump to some newer block

Try now please. Just fixed that.

@ Wesleyh


Do you have any big ideas that need funding??


@ Aldrin/Neer.G....Wesleyh fits the bill...smart guy who delivers.




1) MAC OS X client with auto-update!

https://nextcoin.org/index.php/topic,708.0.html


2) Nxt Faucet - Free coins!

http://nxtra.org/faucet/


3) Random Nxt Nodes List

http://nxtra.org/nodes/

Thanks for your recommendation! Donations are of course always appreciated and an extra incentive to keep going. ( 3209075099254042753 )

I'm working on another new tool, hopefully I can get it ready today. I need some people to run their nodes with bot access enabled for this to work though.

I do not work on super huge projects that take months to develop, rather smaller projects that help grow the community and are in the spirit of open-source.

Hey Wesley, I can open bot nodes on a couple of my VPS if you need to test.. PM me

I agree with this approach ...110%

This can work.....and will drive the feature adoption....IPO would be a great way to fund the Nxtalias Company

Thank you very much for your support! I really hope that they will see the point of this and will support Nxt´s presence at the conference
I will take 3 days off from work to travel to Berlin (I took the money from the holiday pot we have with my wife - she wasn´t really happy about the idea, but she supports nxt too:) ) and do to the organizational stuff, but I am not an nxt millionaire and can´t afford to invest thousands of usd in marketing.

[PGPpfKkx]

for the alias system in the future there must be a search engine to find who owns an alias (and register it if it doesn't) and his contact details just like DNS so you can buy the name you want
