NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information

[utopianfuture]

To me, it seems a little bit odd to give BTCs as bounty But maybe, it is right...

Well, it would definitely pull more numbers of experienced coders in to take a look at the NXT source code. (+curve algo)

Yep, we need independent reviewers. Why Anon's paper is a good read, I think we still need some reviews from impartial parties.

[neer.g]

A weekly newsletter sounds great!
I set aside 12K donation - 1K will be sent for each newsletter for the first 12 weeks.

is it minus 95% or minus 5% from the dgex price?

minus 5%.

NXT NEWSLETTER

On the subject of info getting lost and most of us spending hours after hours on catching up on bitcointalk, nxtcoin.org, forum.nxtcrypto +

I have the time to tie a newsletter together a week - if somebody is willing to help me with info. I don't have the time anymore to trawl all the NXT-threads, but I can gather, sample and send the updates out, if I am feeded a resume from the different sources of information. 

NXTers on the mailing list will then get a chance to focus on their own battleground, while still getting the most important headlines from every other field of the NXT development (with links to the sources). Personally I like being up to date - also in the fields I am not capable of contributing to. And another plus: Important announcements for the community can easier reach everybody via a maillinglist.

We need at least one person from:
- Bitcointalk (main thread + various others) 
- Nextcoin forum 
- Forum.nxtcrypto 
to join this project and "feed" the newsletter resumes.
Info sent directly from developers or marketeers is of course also welcomed.

I don't have a thing (or NXT  ) to give you in return, but contributors will get their acc number on their contributions - and more importantly right now: Help to organize the NXT stream of info.

/apenzl

I had very same thought couple days back. I want to help as well... perhaps we can create mailinglist subscription and start sending weekly news... 3 person can make/collect a reasonable weekly mail and send out interested parties

Great! So now we are 2 already!

I figured there might be lurkers on every thread who could gather and send a weekly resumé to the newsletter. There more people the marrier. More decentralized, yes. People like smaragda on the source code thread, perhaps? *blink blink*   (no pressure intended)  

This is kind of scary, because I wanted to start a daily summary service for this thread on my blog at the Dutch nxtcoins.nl.
I'll probably still do that, as Dutch people need info, too, but it means I'm gathering topics anyway, so I'm available to help, too.

Let's do it. I will contribute. It is nice to have a weekly newsletter which we can scale to something like Bitcoin magazine later.

Yup.

3 is a start. Anybody else? Come oooon, don't be shy.  

I'll set up a template. Let's discuss content in the forum.nxtcypto / nextcoin threads.

I recalculated your table to compare it with Btc:

289 million Nxt is owned by: 7 accounts
215 million Nxt is owned by: 14 accounts
248 million Nxt is owned by: 55 accounts
207 million Nxt is owned by: 10.000 accounts
Lost: 5.000.000 Nxt

BTC:
28.9% 47 individuals
21.5% 880 individuals
24.8% 10.000 individuals
20.7% 1 million individuals

Not very representative. I suggest:

Percentage of coins : Percentage of accs : Times vs "too big to give"

Nxt (OK, say, 10076 accs):
28.9%: 0.07%
21.5%: 0.14%  : 2x
24.8%: 0.55%  : 7.9x
20.7%: 99.76% : 1425x

Bitcoin (1010927 accs, well):
28.9%: 0.005%
21.5%: 0.087%  : 17.4x
24.8%: 0.98%    : 196x
20.7%: 98.928% : 19786x

Isildur23 got 5k bounty from me for gathering info about current projects that need support. This is what we already have. Please correct, expand it. I'm going to post polished version in new topic

Thank you for your work on bringing unfunded projects into the light. At this early stage, it's very important to acknowledge and encourage people who have real skills and motivation to build code for NXT on their free time (clients/specialized websites and so forth).
Personally, if I were the one sitting on the bounty I would send out a small part to everyone who contributes like this to the community. Motivate as many good developers as possible. Anything is better than zero.

Curious, do we have a topic yet for these?

We make a list of new parallel threads here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=412138.0

where is page 1000

[chanc3r]

is it minus 95% or minus 5% from the dgex price?

minus 5%.

DGEX has consistently fallen and fallen just over 5% in last 24h - would you go to "minus 10%" which would give a price of 0.000039?

Let's just wait until it falls more.

minus 5%.

DGEX has consistently fallen and fallen just over 5% in last 24h - would you go to "minus 10%" which would give a price of 0.000039?

lol. seriously asking if he is offering 95% discount? 

[hypersire]

I don't know if you want to go by fixed price, I will go by 0.00003 paid in 4 business days or I can do 5% off DGEX market price at that point

For accountability reason, if anyone could match my offer, then you could take this too.

Let's do 95% of DGEX price.

Hi CFB, I'd like to buy 10k at 95% of DGEX right now if you are interested.

I purchased my first batch of NXT last night from DGEX and I am still waiting for it to be sent... I'm all up for a faster person to person transaction.

Just PM me if you're interested. Thanks!

Brainstorm on topics…
- Clients
- Security / interface improvement
- Arbitrary message and mobile app
- Features / source code development
- Promotion and marketing
- Attacks
- Quote of the week
- Bounties (new and ended)
- NXT initiatives / new sites / games / scams and so on…
- Open discussions (voting system, unclaimed coins, exchanges and so on…)

What this newsletter comes down to is in essence just answering everybody: Where are we now?How can I help? ….. What is NXT?

PM me if you want to contribute.

I posted this on nextcoin and forum.nxtcrypto too.

Thanks!

Great. Love the speed of this thread.

Thank you. Your compilation is a treause chest.

Newsletter guys, you should discuss this in "Nxt marketing & promotion thread: http://bit.ly/1cTp0iw" now

Others can visit also new sections: Nxt full feature clients, Nxt web service providers, Nxt security and user interface, Nxt open source code flaw report

@apenzl, here are some of my thought on the newsletter idea. crossed post in https://forums.nxtcrypto.org/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=331&p=2432#p2432

We could follow similar template as the peercoin's newsletter https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=369239.0, but do it in a more decentralized fashion. That is having many writings by contributors in a magazine style.

The newsletter could be divided into different sections such as : full clients update, new projects, promotional events, merchant adoptions, interviews etc. and we could have each section covered by a contributor.

There should be some editors whose English are fluent because we want the newsletter looking good.

So the organization could be follow:

Editors: 1-3 people, tasked with proofreading submission, selection of submission, contacting with contributors to request contents
Contributors: 5-6 depending on the level of interest; tasked with writing what they follow and interest and what might be requested by editors.

Following this type organization, we can move from a simple newsletter to full-scale magazine easily when the time comes.

Finance: We should seek financial support from donors at the beginning. Eventually we could have funds from advertisement etc.
Contributors and editors are expected to do volunteer work in the beginning. Other compensations could be discussed later, but I think we need to emphasize on volunteer efforts here. You can't expect to earn anything much at this state or maybe even in the future. So volunteers are welcome, paid mercenary please go away.

Yep let's move to promotion thread.
