Community should find someone with a master degree in Cryptography. that is him... His many expertise include Bitcoin, crypto-currencies, Information Security, Cryptography, Cloud Computing, Data Centers, Linux, Open Source and robotics software development. He also has been CISSP certified for 12 years. He is the dude. <3 <3 <3

His many expertise include Bitcoin, crypto-currencies, Information Security, Cryptography, Cloud Computing, Data Centers, Linux, Open Source and robotics software development. He also has been CISSP certified for 12 years. Now come back to the relevant topic. Antonopoulos is a great popularizer but I don't think he has an academic credential. I would suggest Emin Gün Sirer (or Ittay Eyal ) at hacking distributed http://hackingdistributed.com/He is a professor in Cornell and he has been working with Bitcoin algorithm for quite sometimes. He also wrote a paper on Bitcoin selfish mining and he will work for a bounty as he did with bitcoin. As long as he like NXT algorithm, I think we are as good as gold. Luc should contact him for an independent review.

What is the right word? I am trying to balance technical accuracy with conveying the appropriate concept to the reader.
I think "fee dividend" is probably about the best one (it conveys the idea that you get something because of your investment without the idea that that something "comes from nothing"). Yes, that is pretty good. Also due to the variability each person gets a different rate, easier to understand the rate difference if it is a dividend (which is expected to vary) as opposed to interest (which is expected to be stable) My issue with using the term "interest" stems mainly from the fact that the paragraph starts out talking about bitcoin, and how it doesnt have interest, and how NXT does. but really its possible to mine for transaction fees in bitcoin. I think one thing the whitepaper doesnt touch on and which may be appropriate for this particular section we are discussing is how with NX, your balance is what mines for you, not ASICS. (since you are discussing deficiencies of bitcoin) Feel free to swipe some more material on the article that I wrote for bitcoinmagazine that still hasnt been published. https://forums.nxtcrypto.org/viewtopic.php?style=1&f=2&t=276And Ive created a wiki board in forums.nxtcryto.org and also put a post in there for us to offload whitepaper discussion from this thread https://forums.nxtcrypto.org/viewtopic.php?style=1&f=55&t=564

I can not expect him to be an independent reviewer at all. It is like asking keiser to testify on monetary policy. Nothing good will come.

Don't sell NXTs so cheap and in big amounts because you only help speculators kill Nxt rate on DGEX. Seriously, not when bitcoin is falling. This is the best way to damage community because noone will invest in it since rate can't recover. Even big stock holders aren't damaging it so much like you this way. I don't see any strategy here no HOLD action to help Nxt rate and create demand boosting community growth. When someone leaves dgex he want go back soon. Even if someone don't like dgex it will still affect price of Nxt on any other exchange in future. Kill it and u'll kill Nxt.
If community can break only because there's no "to da moon!" action... Do we really need such kind of "community"? I agree. My new policy is to add anyone complaining about short term price movements, or market manipulation to my ignore list. I encourage others to do the same. NXT will succeed because of its features and applications that take advantage of them, not because of price stability in the first 4 months of its existence.

so did anyone contacted vircurex ? https://nextcoin.org/index.php/topic,2921.0.html" If one of our core developers dropped an email and offered assistance, I believe that would go a long way.

Is anyone going to become an NXT/fiat gateway when Asset Exchange is launched? I know about only 1 such case.
We are working on putting a very simple broker type of service were people can buy NXT with EUR. It will be very very simple and the sole purpose of it is going to be just give "easier" way of buying NXT without going through the hassle of getting btc and then converting. I hope we will be ready in 1-2 weeks. I am interested in working on such a service, I'm not a programmer, but I am based in NYC, so I could be of use on the physical end.

Do not know about his education, I somehow had impression he is cryptographer and security expert, but oddly in many videos he admits his realtime maths are poor. But I really doubt his vested interest would affect his conclusions. I feel he is a man of honour. So, if he is not cryptographer, he should not be asked to do criptoanalysis. If he is, I think we should consider him.

I don't know enough about Antonopoulos to say anything about his character. He is great at letting people know about bitcoin and decentralized network, but it is the fact that he has a huge interest in Bitcoin's success. By that alone, it does not pass the test of being an independent reviewer.

To Ebrelus et al.....CfB is only selling off 10 BTC worth of unclaimed NXT to finance a bounty for an external audit. He's selling @ 95% of DGEX price, to people who are serious about NXT and are happy to get a small discount. Wish I had some BTC available, but i'm Mr Skint, dammit. Stop the panic......

Come-from-BeyondI understand correctly that the public key can not be used to encrypt messages, and private - to decrypt? And i must use another channel for deliver key(s) for message encryption/decryption? First (?) client with arbitrary messaging support. Just for test.
