NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information

[loopgate88]

Isn't a credit card an "account wide open and running all the time"? Wouldn't whoever is trying to use nxt before infrastructure be sophisticated enough to use a password manager to just copy&paste the password onto nxt? This person is still very much not the average joe.

[landomata]

I don't see how someone buying a store item is in any way a problem for nxt or even BTC right now. Can someone please enlighten me?

the harder part is:

1) Getting merchants to accept Nxt

2) How to lock the rate of Nxt...protecting merchants & consumers from volatile price movements.


NOTE:  We have to remember that most of the world will punish merchants if they don;t act according to the rules of the central government & pay their taxes.


We have to remember 75% of the world don;t even use Visa....and Visa is FAR FAR ahead of Bitcoin.


My Thinking is Nxt is way above just payment.
  

EDIT: But one thing is sure.....there are more people with Cell phones than visa cards on the planet....and that number will EXPLODE in the coming years.

Yes and yes and yes, that guy is still not the average joe buying a candy bar.  The medallion scheme I mentioned above is a first cut at trying to figure out how to get the 99% of the people in the world can use NXT on cellphones.  If we limit ourselves only to people who use the NXT client in a desktop computer cut and paste environment, we haven't yet conquered the world.

I would be surprised if a majority of bitcoin users can effectively operate nxt in its current state.

So, you premined 100% and still don't do a giveaway?

If we limit ourselves to thinking about problems that are so easily addressed when the time is right that they are almost not problems, we are thinking about the wrong problems. Also, I use keepass on my phone on a regular basis to cut and paste passwords and have done so for years now.

Africa is actually leading the way here on cellphone micropayments and there is much to learn on current efforts - or perhaps strategic partnering.  Maybe just like the out of Africa migration theory, the path for NXT to conquer the world starts in Africa before trekking out to the rest of the planet...

my thinking is China & India....both have more people than the WHOLE OF AFRICA.

EDIT: Yet they both have high smartphone usage but low bank account penetration.....BOTH COUNTRIES STILL LARGELY DEAL IN CASH.

ACTUALLY Africa is also showing strong INNOVATION IN MICROPAYMENTS.....SO I AGREE STONGLY WITH RICKYJAMES ON THIS POINT.

It seems where bank account penetration is low & cellphone usages is high....NXT has A GOOD CHANCE.....I REPEAT MOST PEOPLE in INDIA, CHINA & AFRICA connect to the internet thru their phones.

THATS WHY LOCKING THEM INTO THE NXT ECOSYSTEM THRU SOME FREE SERVICE LIKE MESSAGING WILL ALLOW US TO SLOWLY OPEN THEIR MINDS TO THE BENEFIT OF USING NXT FOR OTHER THINGS.....payment, trading, remittances etc.

I'm slightly suspicious about every link in this board. Especially, when it is from someone who has only 14 posts and posts random ideas. Could someone verify the link in this user's signature?

Sorry for the trouble. I'm just careful...

edit: Ok, seems to be the same zip, it's the same dropbox link.

FOUND MY LOST PASSWORD!!!!

I had an account with 1M NXT in it that I had thought that I had lost forever.  The password that I had saved in NOTEPAD did not seem to unlock the account after I had created it (and coins had been sent to it).  Turns out that my cut-n-paste from NOTEPAD was adding two end of line characters to the middle of the password when I setup the account!

I have NOTEPAD -> FORMAT -> Work Wrap on.  It appears that sometime when copying from Notepad, COPY-N-PASTE is adding 2 E-O-L characters in the middle of the string where the next breaks in the display, even though the characters are not there in the notepad file.

For proof of what I am saying, I will post the account, Saved off Password and NXT Password in a few hours after my transfer (out of that account) ages a bit.


Note, this is not a problem with NXT.....It is a problem with using NOTEPAD to store passwords.

possible, but I never had problems with notepad.

Either that or a black market where the participants are willing to deal with extremely volatility of currency while trading. Let's face it, without SR, bitcoin would not have grown like it did. Your insight is dead on.

EDIT: sorry for the incorrect quoting

I noticed that if i saved with Notepad, and opened with Notepad to Copy/paste all was ok.
But if i opened .txt file (created with notepad) with Wordpad, i get those extra characters and the password is messed up.

I've been using Notepad++ on windows and Kate on linux with no problems.

Oh and while i'm at it, 0.5.3 has been running on both my machines for 24 hrs without a hickup.
i had to do a refresh this morning on the windows machine, but other than that, everything is getting better.

Keep up the good work and thanks guys!

Not asking for a giveaway. Just questioning your marketing strategies

If you'd done some research, you'd know that there have been giveaways and there still are loads of bounties for people who contribute.

You'd also know that the word "mine" doesn't apply here.

Each generation new account is password and userid combination : password-userid
The client should contain publicly available decryption function

@coolfish
so all users with old accounts then need to create a new (checksum prefixed) version
and replace the old one on all the websites. etc.

what about other services like exchanges still using old or other formats formats?
does it makes sense to create a recommended checksum specification, otherwise
we could see different versions flooting around. perhaps a job for the nxt foundation.

@ricot
this is exactly what i mean, preventing e.g incomplete copy & paste
going into hiberNXT but the solution has to work at all levels and
in all clients and services the same way.
