NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information

[Come-from-Beyond]

Please do, you would save us a huge headache and efforts, I say we pony up 3Mil Nxt total to compensate you for the work, would that be amenable?

I don't need this 3M. Let's do the task in parallel, spend this amount for the development of another mixing algo and then we'll use the best one.

The problem is to get an implementation of a mixing algo at all.

And that is why NXT is succeding.

The problem of using Qubic's algo is that Qubic uses quorum instead of blockchain approach. Blockchain data is visible to everyone unlike Qubic, where transactions r visible only to a limited part of participants...

Hi,

question: does everyone pay for his own or does marketing pay for that? (I mean all conferences)

Pouncer adds 1 million NXT!

The fund aldrin started now has 1.5 million NXT, maybe it should be called NXTfund?

Please post a specific project you can do in less than one month and how much you feel it is worth. All projects funded by the NXTfund, needs to be open source. unless community objects, I want all NXTfund projects to have a license that does NOT allow usage outside of NXT and NXT testnet. It is one thing to publish source and allow testing. Another to let FC just steal it.

I want to get a list of all potential projects and get community feedback.

I will only authorize funds for new things. If you see anything that has already been compensated, please let me know. You can be the NXTfund auditor! I am serious

What does everyone think about a mascot character for Nxt? I know I would like one  And I'm pretty sure it will go down well in Japan with all the otaku (nerds).

simpleunit, would you be interested in designing one?

We should have some sort of animal/human hybrid creature like a centaur, for instance. It symbolizes that Nxt is something that has never been seen before.

I'd go no against mythological creatures, too easy for the FUDers. "A Centaur? It's mythological just like Nxts features!" etc...

Maybe a little further down the line.

If you are going this route, it might be a good idea to figure out what open licences are compatible with a usage restriction.  A usage restriction is GPL-incompatible (section 6 of GPLv2, section 10 of GPLv3).  Don't know about the other OSI licences.

Would be great if community could hint developers on which license to use!

I am not a lawyer. Need a lawyer to figure out how to make it so we can prevent klones that blatantly ripoff NXT community's hard work.
For graphics, text we write, etc., it should be easy to put copyright and that automatically limits theft.

+1. Zerocoin's approach is not a simple mixing. And if the SNARK thing will hold, it will allow all sorts of applications.

The ability to prove that you've executed some code might not seem like much, but it's actually really cool!

So if anybody interested and wants to help, here's out main thread:

Anyone here with math background, who could help understand a complex paper?

Something wrong with all these discussions about licences. This is a world of cryptoanarchy.

10000 NXT BOUNTY OFFER:

legal clause that allows us to properly limit clones stealing NXT code, while still keeping us in compliance with the open source licenses we use.

Maybe if jean-luc would release the refactored core under a no-clone license, it would solve this?

Any lawyers out there?
