NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information

[NxtChg]

I found this series of videos helpful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYkl3XlEneA&feature=c4-overview-vl&list=PLMNj_r5bccUzol670CnRnAp-a6rpd3Dym (Check out the links on the right of the video for the rest of the series.) The narrator speaks very clearly and to the point, and he's done a *lot* of research and his claims are backed up by references.

Yeah, that's entertaining.

Interesting format, by the way, a talking head over detailed graphs

Anyway, it is on wrong chain, just look at Target% column.

Meanwhile television has talking heads with no detailed graphs. Or details, for that matter.

Why the hell the guy uses "pc" instead of "percent"? If only there was some short code for it...

Anyone heard news from devs concerning Cryptsy? Are they working with them already? I'm just wondering how much time do I have for buying more before it's too late.

New exchange probably won't change price much. Bter was a special case, as at the time dgex was the only high volume option. Now there are several, so adding another exchange isn't expected to change the price much.

Texas Bitcoin Conference Strategy Discussion

Hey everybody, I want to start talking about the Texas Bitcoin Conference in Austin on March 5-6.  

http://texasbitcoinconference.com

We made some initial contacts in Miami about this.  I have written both the official request-to-be-a-speaker email address and also Paul Snow, the conference director, and have heard nothing back at all about getting to be a speaker to introduce NXT.  I think I may be getting deliberately ignored.  I sent another email this morning asking for a thumbs up / thumbs down statement from them about doing a talk for NXT, I'll let you know what I hear - or don't.

Whether or not they let me stand up and talk, I am going.  My jet ticket has been bought and I have reserved a car and hotel room about 5 miles from the site.  Now the question is, what do I do when I get there?

Do you want me to just walk around trying to hand out stuff or do you want me to sit behind a table that says NXT?

It's $2500 for a 2X2 foot square floor space (roughly a half-square meter, for an unmanned display) and $4000 for a seven foot long (two meter) skirted table with two chairs in the exhibit area.  

http://texasbitcoinconference.com/images/docs/Exhibitor.pdf

If we get a table - then what?  I REALLY like the idea of running Salsacz'a Iceland video on endless 90 second loop if an NXT user in Austin can loan me a HDMI TV for two days.   What else can we get ready in 30 days?  2000 business cards?  2000 plastic 3D keychains?  2000 giveaway brochures?  What do they say?

If we are going to build off the great start we got in Miami to do even better in Austin, we need to start NOW !!!

well if nxt wants to 'smash it' so to speak it really needs a next gen client that's simple to use and ready to go. It's all well and good showing what nxt can do compared to bitcoin but to show its next gen it needs the client no offence.

I have a UK account but wouldn't use it. .. Mine was blocked just because I went on a online shopping spree. Had a phone call claiming to be the fraud team ...

That happened to me too, yesterday actually  .

The banks in both the UK and the US are implementing creeping de-facto currency controls, they are in big trouble with liquidity now that the Fed is tapering off QE.

What's even scarier is there is increasing talk by the IMF and national central banks of a one-time 25% wealth tax to try and rebalance the currently desperate debt ratios faced by banks:

This is I think the real reason cryptocurrencies like NXT will take off in the next 24 months.

The undeclared war on bitcoin/crypto is escalating. In america if you want to sell crypto to the masses, you need to get licenses in all states you operate in. For internet based, that is 50 states. Each with their own burdensome variation on a burdensome set of forms, bonds, fees, etc. Estimated cost in the millions BEFORE you can even sell the first crypto!

This explains why coinbase is the only place to convert fiat to BTC and they just lowered the limit from 10 BTC/day to $3000. Expect it to continue to shrink.

In July USA is planning capital controls regulations making it super difficult to get any USD outside of america. This all happening around the time the interest on the federal debt cannot even be paid. My prediction is that this year, next at the latest, USD will cease to be the reserve currency of the world. Oil won't be denominated in dollars after that, along with pretty much everything else.

The fact that dollar has been reserve currency for the world (international trade denominated in dollars) has allowed america to do one thing no other country could. Print money to get stuff from other countries. Nice advantage that allowed deficit spending for so long.

JUST RECEIVED FROM PAUL SNOW, ORGANIZER, TEXAS BITCOIN CONFERENCE:

Ricky,

We are being buried under content, which is a good thing for a conference!  We will be sending out formal confirmations to all speakers by Friday.  I can tentatively say we will have you as a speaker.  If I have to reverse that decision, I can give you a discount on the conference ticket at the $250 level.

I hope that helps!

-Paul

we're taken over by doge  

good time to buy some nxt?  

Oh boy... I hope you guys don't sort by Volume... No Sweat here!   

Doge is where old GPUs go to die when they are no longer profitable for mining Bitcoin.  Really, Doge is totally unsustainable, it is an attempt to reset the clock to a more profitable period on the Bitcoin growth curve, plus some smart advertising.

network effect, especially if it goes mainstream could support DOGE for a long time. Think Microsoft Windows.

+1, if only everyone knew how much of the worlds software is Java.

Java 8 is great; Nxt's java code not so much nor the design of the Proof of Stake. They seem to have a very active community and thus it will likely get better quickly.

- I want to add database persistence, which will be a major new feature, before releasing 0.6.0.

Database? What is that dabase going to be used for?
I am a bit confused, is it not all in the blockchain?

Yes, but the blockchain itself now needs to be stored in something better than serialized java object files.

What about making it concurrently readable by other processes and not doing a low level API at all.

[nexern]

i have some strange things here. just updated to 0.5.11 and have had an error on checksum pass block 30.000.
