NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information

[Bitventurer]

I found Mark Cuban's email for one of his companies AXStv.

mcuban@axs.tv

I'm sure he doesn't directly receive any of the emails, so we need to ask his executive assistant to forward the letter to Mark because we'd like to give him "the NXT best thing in cryptocurrency".

isnt the best way to contact this kind of persons with linkedin ? buy the premium and then you can write him directly a message

There are so many posts here, I didnot have time to read them until now...., thank you salsacz for detailed introduction to NXT http://nxtcoin.blogspot.cz/2014/01/nxtmyths-1-nxt-is-not-scam-it-wasnt.html

I am not saying anything about fairness. it is only a psychological label but if you use common sense, do you think questions were answered appropriately?

Q:  Why was the initial funding cancelled suddenly with few people?
A:  I wanted Nxt to be launched by the community, not by a single person.  Success of Nxt is supposed to be achieved by work of a LOT of PEOPLE.
we asked why he cancelled it suddenly, and even if we could get anything meaningless we only got what we already knew. sorry this question was not answered. He could make a cap of 0.1 btc for investors and IPO could lasted longer. or many other things.
The thing is, and I know you dont like to hear it, it looked like someone just decided to let half or more of coins for himself and pretend there were some 73 "investors"


another question&answer:
Q:  How would you solve problem with scam accusations according to "unfair" distribution Nxt to 73 big stakeholders?
A:  This problem can not be solved.  Even if we had a million stakeholders the rest seven billion people would call this unfair.  A world with the money can not be perfect.
this is not right, there are many possible solutions already proven eg. in IPO of existing real companies - eg. reveal your identity etc - I work in a bank at credit risk and I can tell you for sure/guarantee that if you dont watch and track people every single moment while working with valuables/money the people will steal money (sometimes all the money) (doesnot matter when and where, people are and were same in US or Asia or Europe).
So even I know that you perhaps delete my post and ban IP, I am sure that there were not definitely 73 different people, maybe 10 or 15 and I assume that one of them was the founder your "holy"  BCnext.
Again I am not saying its good or bad I am only saying it but thats how the things are, like it or not. Just use your common sense you dont have to be oracle ...

I've made a few other edits to my draft letter. If you decide to use it, please copy from my original (updated) post.

[Dps23]

another thing crossed my mind: (from http://nxtcoin.blogspot.com/2014/01/nxt-myths-2-very-fair-distribution-of.html )

Q: „Do you think the unequal distribution of bitcoin / big gains of early adopters / will be a deterrent in a more widespread adoption of bitcoins?“
A: „No. Early adopters get bigger gains (as they should) because they take on bigger risk. A bitcoin can be divided into 100 million pieces, so I don't see divisibility or distribution as a problem.“
Cameron Winklevoss

Winklevoss is just a *********
I respect people who are clever or has achieved something like salsacz, Come from beyond or BCnext (but it doesnot mean that I agree completely with them) or many other....
I think cryptocoins should serve better to people and if someone is hoarding the money its sad.
If winklevoss twins loose 99% of their bircoins they even dont recognize it and still can live comfortable life. But if someone poor in China or elsewhere gets just a fraction of bitcoin it could change their lives.
Should not we try to invent better distribution of coins? and not just saying that distribution of NXT is 10x better than BTC and thus we are proud of it?

People should bear in mind that it is forbidden to take anything with them to grave. What they would do with all that money after they die??? I cannot understand them.

I am not saying anything about fairness. it is only a psychological label but if you use common sense, do you think questions were answered appropriately?

You might not like the answers... but that DOES NOT mean that the questions were not answered. As for not being able to participate early... you need to understand the importance/characteristics of the Genesis Block and how they relate to Nxt's development efforts.

Are you suggesting that the Genesis Block should have been generated on January 03, 2014?

...DO NOT ANSWER if you have not understood the question...

Yes you are right, my opinion is, answers are not much relevant.
It is the same if you ask me how old am I and I answer you the wheather outside is really nice ....

What am I suggesting? well, I dont know, I am not creator/developer
I am not critisizing them - It was their decision.
I only wanted to express my opinion, which is, if I ask someone why he suddenly stopped and he answer on different topic, answer is not relevant.    But of course, BNCnext doesnot have duty to answer our qestions.....

Yes I think genesis block could have been generated later, perhaps in December, perhaps on Jan 3rd and source code could be revealed also later in February or so. NXT is definitely based on strong ideas, however during first 2 months it looked like someone just tried to sell coins from genesis block and places like Dgex didnot brought much more seriousness to this.
My opinion is when you are building something what could compete with bitcoin you should not do so obvious "strange " building blocks on which you want to built the whole new project

I've been following Nxt for a little while, although it's hard to keep up with this thread!  This is my first post.

I've seen several questions and efforts at characterizing aspects of the blockchain.  I've been doing some exploratory analysis and have several plots to share.  I've posted what I've done so far here:

http://brosephus.github.io/nxt-explore/

I've learned a lot and hope this might be useful for others.  I'm happy to look into anything that might be of interest to anyone.

Update ClieNXT

version 0.0.2, codename: Phoenix

You want to make it simple and easy? I repeat myself: Get rid of the "deadline" field and put it in the settings or at least replace it with a "select list" with one standard value.

Otherwise: Keep up the good work!

[BiTJack]

Is there any executable wallet for windows users.?

Lots of interesting stuff!

You mention "Account IDs With a Small Number of Digits" and "How can accounts have such small ID numbers?". I think you should make the distinction between those that have an assigned public key, and those that don't. Anyone can send 1NXT to any account number, and that account will then exist in the blockchain, but probably nobody has access to it (yet). It would be interesting seeing similar analysis on the so-called darkNXT.

Dude, post of the day -- great stuff. I wish I was smart enough to understand half of that, but I gleaned some important data there.

It is encouraging that over time, upper end of the distribution belongs to a smaller and smaller proportion.

 

[pinarello]

Nxt doesn't even have mature client software (correct me if I am wrong). Don't present a half finished product to a big guy like Mark.

I agree. We should wait for a well-tested full-featured client before contacting him.

+1 other wise that NXT you give him will go straight to some exchange account

[bitcoinpaul]

This guy obviously isn't impressed with NXT.

In Depth Analysis of NXT  -  http://cryptolife.net/in-depth-analysis-nxt/

Regarding NXT addressing. "If you were to generate an offline address and send coins to that address, you do not have explicit ownership of that address. Someone could come along with a passphrase that has a collision with yours, announce his public key to the network, and then have explicit ownership over your coins. This means that to claim ownership over an address, you are forced to expose your public key to the network. As mentioned before, doing this decreases the overall security of that address. You just can’t win. NXT is inherently less secure that Bitcoin. It is a total step backwards in that department. Also worth mentioning is that Bitcoin addresses have a 4 byte checksum that prevents you from sending to an invalid or incorrect address. NXT addresses do not."

Does anyone have an answer for this?

Will be solved in clients.

[bitcoinpaul]

We would like to give you (some) NXT so you can participate in the NXT big thing in cryptocurrency.  It's our hope in by giving you these NXT that you help us spread the word about NXT so others can also participate in this revolution.

Please don't. This smells like bribery.

We would like to give you a token 1000 NXT so you can participate in the Nxt big thing in cryptocurrency. It's our hope that once you have researched our community and technology, you will join the movement and help us spread the word about Nxt.

Much better. Make it even less, so just for him to play with.

I'm not so sure giving him Nxt would be a good idea. Bill Still took a lot of heat for possibly receiving donations before he promoted Quark. I'd rather not risk the accusation of the Nxt community "bribing" him to promote Nxt. Just give him good information with no strings attached, and he'll appreciate the gesture.

We should mention that we are really beta but we care about newcomers. So if he need assistance for buying some NXT, he could go to Anon or another trustworthy user for escrow or to these exchanges *listofexchanges*. If Anon contacts him, he shouldn't suggest himself for escrow maybe

Or send him preconfigured solar powered cubie
I think he likes gizmos
He is pretty smart technically, as long as he is told we are in beta he will not expect everything to be perfect
He understands tech development
My guess is he thinks mining is a big waste of resources

Send cool solar powered nxt computer. That will have a lot more impacf than nxt acct, of course send him small amount so he doesnt have to buy it on xchg. But he needs to make acct first

James

This is a perfect idea. Send him more than just a mail. A gadget which emphasizes on the waste of resources with Bitcoins and our solution to this problem. Could also be without solar, maybe this would be better because it is 'simpler' to run. Maybe he will photograph it himself and post it one day.

ill do it if no one else wants to

That would be great. Let us discuss some more ideas and options and afterward you can contact him.

[pinarello]

Nexern,

Are we on schedule for the 26th?

[Klonewars]

I like the idea of sending peconfigered promo-raspberrys to people
Its way better than just throwing money at somebody yelling "RESPECT ME!!!1"

If somone sent me or anyone I know a Raspberry Pi I would think why someone had sent me their friken science experiment....


An email link for a preconfigured wallet along with a simple explanation and the current and future vision for NXT. Words and ideas are powerful... Even a working wallet isn't nessecary, screen shots and vision statements is all anyone needs.


Someone should make a talking to camera youtube clip that explains NXT....though the graphic ones i've seen are not bad.

[marcus03]

I am looking into my options of making my NXT Solaris client open-source and multi-platform. Since there are trade-offs, I would like to get an idea which operation systems you are most interested in, so I set up a vote: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=430593.0

Thanks for voting!

The results are what I had expected.

I've made a 1400 US$ investment and upgraded my development environment to Delphi XE5 and the compatible version of the commercial Developer Express components.

The roadmap for NXT Solaris now looks like this:

1.) Move current version of my code to XE5 and release closed source 32-bit and 64-bit versions for Windows (only trivial changes).
2.) Refactor my code to a MVC architecture, so that I can create separate GUIs while using the same version of the business logic code.
3.) Create new GUIs for Windows and OS X using the same business logic, but based on the cross-platform Firemonkey libraries (technically possible targets are Windows, Android, OSX, iOS). The GUIs will not be as sexy and powerful as the closed-source Windows version, though (no Ribbon interface, no filtering, sorting, grouping in data grids, not so many icons etc..), but will still very much resemble what is in the closed-source client.
4.) Release open-source Windows version (32 and 64 bit) based on FireMonkey.
5.) Release open-source OSX version based on FireMonkey.

=> At this point you could decide if you want to use the open-source Windows and OSX version or the closed-source, slightly more sexy and powerfull Windows version.

I will reevaluate if I do versions for Android and iOS at a later point, however I will keep this option in my mind when refactoring the code in step 2. The poll shows that 25% of all voters would use it, but it also depends on which alternatives are available at that point. I would also need to invest another 500 US$ to go mobile and I don't want to do this now.

I will not target Linux, since I technically can't. Someone else might want to jump on this.

I don't know the timeline for the roadmap, so don't ask. ;-) I'll take a week of from my day job next month to get a bit of this done.
