NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information

[mthcl]

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

I'm a math professor in the real life, but wouldn't dare to review this one.  

You really need a specialist in cryptography to understand such a thing...

SWARMERS NEEDED

Due to the lackluster community effort for SWARMing projects I have setup this in an attempt to form a always active SWARMing group.
Given the upcoming articles and posts that will be about NXT over the next weeks this is very much needed:

I am looking for 30 SWARMers that will do as instructed in terms of commenting and upvoting/liking articles, posts, videos etc.
The goal is to have at least 30 people to comment on certain articles and posts that need it.

There'll be a 1000 NXT bounty for every 20th SWARM you participate in.

All you need to do is send me an email at nxtorganizer@gmail.com so I get your email in my contacts which will make it a lot easier to send out calls for SWARMing.

The way it'll work is very simple, I will simply send out a chainmail to the SWARMers with instructions on what we need a comment/upvote on, then after you have done so, just let me know by sending a quick reply back where you provide the username you used so I can keep track.
When you have participated in 10 such swarms you will get 500NXT and then another 500NXT after the next 10 swarms.

I would cap funding at 3 people (personally).  If others want to assist, that's fantastic.  The core 3 should have very distinct roles which translates to deliverables.

that's right, most people would like to help with something, but also spend time there by their own.. It is nice to have at least some numbers and none numbers that we had yesterday or without these conference lists

I will be at the NY conference in April, although on someone else's dime, so I can't commit to pure NXT advocacy while I'm there, but would definitely want to meet any community members who do attend.

Somebody wiped out the Google doc:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AuputZyRQ5-5dFY4RlBTdFJWWnhTRUp3SWdiMlBpb3c&usp=drive_web#gid=0

** Fixed **

No worries, I'll add back the email addresses in a minute.  It's amazing how childish some communities are... unreal.


Once we get enough swarmers. we'll have private lists as well as the public requests. It's impossible to slow down the momentum of Nxt, this isn't my first dance.

Doge is quite good at swarming and their tech is well... ok, I'll be polite.  Imagine what we could do with 30 active people pushing initiatives with the Nxt eco-system as our base? This is important, Uniqueorn is 100% correct.

Haha, poor Wes at Virtex.

He made a standard reply for Nxt swarm

Damelon,

A customer support staff member has replied to your support request, #471807 with the following response:

Hello,

We are looking into adding Nxt. Thanks for the note.

Wes

You can almost hear the tired sigh.

I removed the email address off the Google doc, they are well aware who we are and the interest.

Dogecoin Become Fifth Most Valuable Crypto-Currency
http://uk.news.yahoo.com/dogecoin-become-fifth-most-valuable-crypto-currency-174348269.html#dXx7kbT

Dogecoin has just overtaken Nxt, which describes itself as a second generation crypto-currency offering a "novel method of eco-friendly mining."

Nope.

5    Nxt   76,860 BTC   7.686e-05 BTC   999,997,986 NXT*   185 BTC   +0.79 %   
6    DogeCoin   74,506 BTC   1.88e-06 BTC   39,630,915,288 DOGE   3,206 BTC   +6.29 %   

DOGE did overtake NXT for a short time earlier today, but market changes and NXT went back up.  Expect this to happen occasionally as people reach their limits and dump

Knowing identity of carlos allows credible legal threat to stop his nonsense. He doesn't care about actually running a coin, so your protection doesn't work. People will still get scammed and then might blame NXT.

If you want to legally prohibit people  from redistributing and using your code in other projects, copyright law already does that.  Open source doesn't mean anyone can use it if you have a copyright notice on the code.

This no difference between software and images copyright.

Simply add on top of every source file:

/*
 * Developer : Developer Name (example@example.com)
 * Date : xx/yy/zzzz
 * All code (c)2014 name -- all rights reserved
* You may not use, copy, or distribute the code without written permission from the  developer
*
 */

Yeah it's as simple as that.

That makes it illegal to use the code without developer's permission.

ANNOUNCEMENT  Nxt Net Application http://95.85.8.113:9000/nxtnet

P.S. I'm surprised nobody tried to upload a torrent file; I recall someone wanted this feature very much.

I think its cause no one got how to do.
With an step by step how to it would get more drive...

Let me explain then.

1. Download torrent file; you need to convert it to the magnet link to publish (will take <1min).
2. Go to the app page: http://95.85.8.113:9000/nxtnet
3. Go to link "torrent to magnet link converter (external)".
4. Upload torrent file there, copy the magnet link to clipboard.
5. Return back to the app page.
6. Paste the magnet link to the URI field.
7. Add description.
8. Add it! That's all

Thanks for implementing, we can do some really awesome things with this.

I always liked the idea, but the problem might be that users will pick those combinations that are easier to remember and there goes your entropy.

You can generate the words randomly for the user!

Use this Electum's dictionary

https://raw.github.com/spesmilo/electrum/master/lib/mnemonic.py

or make your own with easy words

12 random words from this 1626 word dictionary gives you 128 bit entropy.

This actually is the most restrictive form of license you can release your code under. According to this, every time your code is called or executed you need written permission from the developer. The mainstream open source licenses are what you want to be considering; as they have well thought-out mechanisms to permit your code to be useful yet restrictive enough to prohibit exploitative uses.

I would gladly contribute to this bounty if you want to increase the amounts to incentivize more or use it to extend the length/get more swarmers.

Great!
I think that we should definitely extend the time period, yes, because when NXT first gains momentum we don't want it to stop Send me a PM

"According to this, every time your code is called or executed you need written permission from the developer."

Not everytime. Jus once. If the developer has offered the permission to use it with Nxt project, that one time written permission is enough.

Since yesterday it is not working properly for me (0.5.10). Just upgraded to 0.5.11 but still same issue... Generated an incorrect block every now and then.

I've just taken a look at cryptokopen.eu and the proce for one nxt is over 0.2$. Are we crazy??
