NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information

[utopianfuture]

I added my idea: University projects (dissertations, masters, bacheleor thesis). This is a long therm thing, but if we have got here any teachers or even university attendants, it would be wonderful if you write your project based on Nxt.

There is one guy who writes his Phd about some Nxt app... There can be many thesis where you programm some Nxt app/add-on..., but I would like to get to the enomical/ecological areas too. There might be serious works based on the PoS, on Nxt, how it could change the world

I am on 8th year in my PhD economics program. So I am not going to change my dissertation But I am going to write something more academic NXT related soon.

Maybe if you guys chill a bit this thread might become useful. Seriously, go AFK for few hours and come back to witness just insane
amount of crap added here in the meantime. You are spamming out important stuff like problems with NXT wallet and so on. It could
be that IS the reason behind such stupid contest but long-term you are not really helping anyone.

Important info hopefully is being pulled out of this general thread. works are in progress

I think we need to open some threads based on functionality instead of another thread when everything stays in the same place which  is the same as this original thread.
We should have at least some more threads like this:

1. NXT full feature clients - progress tracking thread here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=412138.0

2. NXT security and user interface improvement - progress tracking thread rickyjames will take care of it

3. NXT arbitrary message and mobile application - progress tracking thread someone should open one now

4. NXT promotion and marketing thread - progress tracking thread here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=412243.0

There threads will run parallel with the main thread here and the NXT source  code report here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=397183.0

This will at least bring some organization to grass-root development we have here.

Someone should do the same for other threads and keep them updated. The updates should be a decentralized effort by everyone. Aslo remember to bookmark all the parallel threads.

Also NXT API 1 thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=313082.0
NXT API 2 thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=406839

+100  As additional people join the mix through these threads, they can easily be directed to activism items on the Nxt forums.

I tried to find out some info about emunie, but pretty much failed

They are in some sort of beta test, but it is closed to new testers, no way to try anything

Their wiki is down, no whitepaper, no source code. The feature set appears to have a lot in common with NXT feature set.

What I did find out. It is written in Java (I think). It is being developed by one person (I think). It is designed to be like an electronic fiat, meaning that as more money comes into emunie, more emunie is issued. Some "central bank" authority algorithmically (arbitrarily?) decides what the right equilibrium price is and changes the emunie supply to reach that price.

It also seems to be a LOT more complicated than NXT. Just using a block-tree instead of a blockchain makes my brain hurt imagining all the evil bob scenarios ricot could come up with to game the emunie system. In my experience, such a complicated design will only work when there is significant software engineering team behind it. Not sure a single person can get all the bugs out, especially when they are having a mini-tantrum and cancelling the emunie IPO?

emunie community is about 10% the size of NXT

However, the emunie client does have some nice screenshots.

The above is mostly deduction on my part as I could not find anywhere that had an actual explanation of how exactly emunies are issued, hatched, whatever. It's total dependence on a single stressed out developer also makes me a bit uneasy.

I am pretty sure emunie has some decent tech behind it, but unlike NXT, it is always being delayed. This is common with complex software projects. With NXT there has been only one delay I am aware of and that was delaying the TF due to the mess the Ddos attacks made.

Gets hard to keep track of that here on bitcoin.. Wouldn't it be better if these threads were hosted on http://forums.nxtcrypto.org - they could even create a separate category for it. Makes it much easier to follow up on.

I know there are a lot of people following this thread who would like to contribute, but with it being so technical, not sure of how they can.

I have an idea that will let pretty much anybody contribute to NXT, but it will require someone to manage a bug tracking system. Not sure what the best bug tracking system is nowadays, but if anybody is familiar enough with it to set one up, that would be fantastic.

This way, people can report API bugs, usability bugs and everything in between.

I like that the  tracking threads staying here just for now. There will be links to forums. When this thread and developers move to a forum we will all move together.

Bookmark each thread to keep track of them.

What about a thread for other service providers such as block explorers, online wallets (non-full feature clients), other tools...?

You can make one. Make links to all other progress tracking threads. We want all of them running parallel.

JIRA is probably the best, but it's not free.

A friend of mine has used http://www.redmine.org/ before. I could have it up and running later today, hosting isn't an issue. Not sure what I should use for a domain.

I guess we already have one though?

I agree 100% about this... these little games, sweepstakes, ask BCTnext a question, etc are very gimmicky n completely unnecessary to promote a supposed "next generation" crypto.

we have no "working" product yet... so the only thing a new user has to base his decision on whether or not to use n adopt nxt is forum post like here...our community posts here n future promises of what nxt can do is what helps new users  n investors  put money n faith into nxt.

 I propose we leave out these little gimmicks n games n focus on nxt development related materials so new users n investors can have faith in putting their money into nxt.

Hi guys, just been reading up on NXT.

Is the only way to get into it to buy some NXT?

I see I can get a few NXT for free, but i'll never earn NXT over time with just 10 NXT in my wallet will I?

Keep in mind the concept of redundancy and decentralization. The more diverse the better chance an eco-system survives.

Sometimes I believe people are reading a totally different thread than I am...
Apart from some light heartedness, mostly I see people thinking and working their asses off and showing the products.
This takes time, so yes, "nice" interfaces and ease of use is still weeks/months in the future.
This has been said by more than one dev.

The target group of new users at this moment is not the mainstream user. I'd be horrified if someone actually proposed to try and go to market with the current client.
At this moment it's for people who are interested in the inner workings and not the mainstream user.

However, apart from hard work, sometimes it's nice to have some fun.

today I have posed several important issues to solve do you think that someone reacted?

2 people have answered on the discussion about the unclaimed coins, apparently not important.

Implementing the voting system how to implement it, no one reacted on that one.

Don’t tell me when to be serious mister

Now I don’t think someone is seriously reading this thread, might as well close it.

And mister pepper, please read about NXT in the wiki and learn!
