Payment Processor InformationAs some of you already know if you read Nikel's reports, I've been talking to the guys from ZipZap and GoCoin quite a bit for Peercoin for a month prior to the conference and then spoke to both parties (Nikel lead) at the Miami conference about Nxt. This is important, I can move this conversation forward.
I need someone willing to put the following data together (this is what we did for Peer). We need to show trends, interest and liquidity. Who is willing to work with me on it?
I CAN get in front of the GoCoin board and pitch Nxt. See examples below on what we presented Zipzap and GoCoin:
1. Exchanges
We're listed on all the major alt exchanges listed here:
http://www.peercointalk.org/index.php?topic=127.0The bulk of our liquidity happens at BTC-e. We currently have 3.8 million dollars worth of buy orders for PPC/USD and 127,000 PPC worth of sell orders.
2. Additional Numbers
I've asked our team to put together some numbers:
A. Peercoin 6-month Transaction Volume on BTC-e (PPC/BTC Trading Pair)
https://i.imgur.com/a4InuOk.pngB. Peercoin 6-month Transaction Volume on the rest of the top 5 exchanges (Cryptsy, BTER, Vircurex, and Vault of Satoshi, with VoS conservatively assumed to be 5000 PPC per day since Sept 1)

Who is willing to step up?Thanks!
Saw this yesterday evening and had a think about it and my take is that this is too soon.
At this moment we haven't even gotten a simple payment system going.
This means we also don't have much movement in Nxt and people don't recognise it as a payment option, but mainly as an investment opportunity.
I'm not against this per se, but if I would put myself in their shoes, for now I'd say we have little to offer and much to lose ourselves.
It's true that moving towards a payment system is needed (hey, I'm working on it! I admit
), but at the moment it doesn't seem like a good idea to move in with these profs yet.
I'd feel much more comfortable running the payments for the coming months via our own systems. That way we can build attention for it and get it more accepted. In six months, this seems to be something that would be viable. If that is a conservative guess, that's great.
It's a fact that not many people have big quantities of Nxt. 200-500 seems average for most smaller accounts, if I look at the forums, and outside this thread. To buy anything of reasonable value (say a promotional T-shirt at this moment) would probably take about that or a substantial part of it. I know that I wouldn't buy if it meant cleaning out my wallet.
If anything, it would draw attention to the fact that 200 Nxt isn't actually worth all that much at the moment.
So, in this case, I would advise to wait for a bit, even if théy are eager. If all goes well, they will still be eager in a month or two.
2 Nxt.
