Huge Marketing Opportunity

Great job Salsacz and the rest of the Berlin crew!  NiftyNikel will be contacting you today to talk a bit about our charity drive we're about to start for SongsofLove. Our marketing group, CoinTropolis, will start the party off by donating 10k Nxt. I've worked with the foundation director before... they are completely behind it.

Not only does giving back feel good, it gives us a story worth printing with the 200+ writers we have in our media list.

OK, I've just had the time to take a look at the website for SongsOfLove.
http://www.songsoflove.org/

Hmmmm.....I'm going to sound like the Grinch who stole Christmas here, but I am not on board with this. At all....

I admire SongsofLoves apparent aim;  to bring some happiness to kids in hospital.
However, I think that this charity is not a good fit for NXT.
They appear to be offering the same deal to every crypto, so I am sure that the kids will get enough personalised songs to get them thru their illness, even if NXT doesn't get involved.

Sorry for being a grouch, but my vote is no.

What does 'deadline' mean in both cases?

Dear supporters,

 I want to talk with you about the future of Nxt.org. I'm working with Passion_ltc together to make this website the center for the whole Nxt ecosystem.

We have many great ideas for the website, but before we start we need to talk about something inconvenient: the money.

I paid 157,000 NXT and 6 BTC for the domain. A few guys maybe are thinking that this is far too much, but I don't think so. With Nxt.org we finally have a quality domain for a quality product, and if we consider that Nxt will be the future of money then the money was well spent!

2Kool4Skewl asked on nextcoin.org about acquiring the domain. And I'm pretty sure that someone said there was a bounty for this domain.

So I want to ask you if someone knows more about the bounty. Maybe I could get a nice sum of the money back though this?

Thank you very much!

Greetings,
BitVenturer

I think the funding committee should reimburse you for the cost....but it should be a landing page with some basic latest news/info etc.

Nxtclient.org should be a prominent link.

Edit: lets not recreate the wheel but try to tie in together the various Nxt properties all over the internet.

Voting System provides only a way to create polls and cast votes, interpretation is left to a poll creator.

Here is a possible scenario:

Someone creates a poll. The others cast their votes. When the time comes (should be written in description) the poll creator takes a snapshot of the blockchain with current balances of all voters and calculates the result.

Key points:
1. It's possible to "rewrite" a previous vote by sending a new vote from the same account
2. Votes can be "weighted" (if optionsAreBinary = false)
3. Nxt core doesn't validate data, it's left for client software.
4. Any approach to calculate a result can be used, it's not limited to PoS.

Here is version 2.0 of my Windows NXT client "NXT Solaris".

It is now open-source. Source code is included in the download archive.


Changelog
-The open-source version now is open source. :O) Source code is included in the download.
-The whole GUI now feels much slicker.
-NXT Solaris no longer works on and downloads the complete blockchain, but only the fetches transactions for the personal accounts
-Closed source version: Dropped the blockchain explorer functionality
-Added a market graph (price and volume) for assets
-Added support for startForging and stopForging API requests (these fall back to a web lockAccount/unlockAccount request if the API calls are not available)
-Included an option in the NXTSolaris Starter to run against the testnet (automatically keeps the testnet and prod. settings/data apart)
