NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information

[EvilDave]

Until those issues are resolved, though, I believe that all the marketing savvy NXT folks should start making a BIG STINK out of the fact that NOBODY has been able to find a flaw yet in the other topic!  Who knows? ...such marketing stunt could continue all the way till April 3!!!  

You know, I've been reading that thread with NO knowledge of code whatsoever with the intention of being able to write about it.

So far the only angle that presents itself to me is "people are doing  , about  , but apparantly all is still  . There is some   going on, but CfB has went   and  , so all is probably well"

I'm so out of my league there that I feel like I'm a toddler that's been admitted to university.

Yep, I'm with u there. Any code more advanced that a 3 line .bat file makes my brain go into Homer S. mode.

But I did read the bug threads, and it seems like a case of "no news is good news".
Lots of smart people, some of them very anti-NXT, have taken the code to pieces and can't find any show-stopping problems. Yay  

I'm thinking a bit at the moment about marketing, and it seems to me that we need to take a "big bang" approach at a certain moment in the near future, just drop a massive, co-ordinated marketing bomb on the world.

The first 2 things we need are:

1) A truly stable and idiot proof client for Windows and Mac.
2) Simple, reliable exchanges capable of handling serious trade volume.


Once we have those 2 things up and running to everyones satisfaction, then we drop the marketing bomb and watch the world run to NXT......

The bomb needs to consist of:

Press releases, both to the web and to old-school news sources (TV, print, radio....)

A publicity stunt (like the idea from 400 pages ago of giving 1 mega-NXT to Max Keiser)

Giveaways, guides and promotions for the new NXT users.

Publicity materials and giveaways, such as stickers, T-shirts and other swag


I'm gaing to be having a chat with some marketing guys in the next few days, see if I can turn my vague ideas into some sort of real plan. Might open a topic on nxtcrypto for this later in the evening, got to go AFK for a while.

Tell me what ya think, anyhow.

@Damelon.....the mimes are coming.

rickyjames should open his detective agency and accept payments in NXT.

[TwinWinNerD]

where's the original guy that was working on a whitepaper?

Busy, spending NXTs he got in advance, I think... If Nxt price doesn't rise too fast he'll run out of money in a few months and will complete the work...

[bidji29]

BTW why isn't the .bat file included in the zip ?
It would one step less to launch Nxt.

because it doens't work on all windows instances. I for example have to specify the exact java.exe path.

[davethetrousers]

BTW why isn't the .bat file included in the zip ?

Because of platform independence

However, there is a subproject that maintains a Windows Installer.

It seems like a very bad idea to suggest people use this form of online wallet!

I suggest to display them single page with big red warning to never ever do it.

Is https://blockchain.info/wallet safe by design?

With blockchain.info, you're still trusting your money to a third party, and they could run off with your coins / get your coins hacked / etc.

But blockchain is run by a company with an extended validation certificate, a large customer base, a valuable brand, etc. Whereas nxtwallet.com is a website on a privacy-backed domain with a self signed cert that could disappear tomorrow taking a few gullible people's keys with it.

I don't think OP had that intention, and it's good that he has now included a big disclaimer in the first post.

Question: how easy is it for people who run public nodes on 7875 and who dont want to give people the opportunity to enter their passphrase to remove the "unlock account" button?

Very easy, it's just a matter of adding a css rule to hide it.

Blockchain.info doesn't work in that way. They don't have access to your private keys, so they can't steal your coins, that is why is the safest online wallet. (but for 100% safety of course always keep your bitcoins in offline wallet)
Of course hackers can take them if the hack you, or if blockchain change his way of working in the future.
