NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information

Unclaimed coins funds and committees...

Community,

Please apply for one of the committees created.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AsrKGhOkVcFpdFRFeHNUdWx3Qy1nTjBPLUFNWUJKQkE&usp=sharing#gid=0

If there are more candidates than places we shall vote for the members.

Everyone has  to present his project before the projectboard (members of all committees) they will do a triage of projects and assign each project to the correct committee.

How many members will sit on each committee?

The original discussion concluded 5 or 7, but that's not set in stone.  I personally think 5 sounds right.

IMO no limit as each committee will represent the community as a whole. As of now I dont think this is a problem as not that many people apply.

I should not set a limit to tech and infra people the more active members the better.

Short calculation: We need 10,000 NXT to buy 20,000 VOTES @ https://www.mintpal.com/voting if we sell the NXT @ 0,0001 BTC

Short calculation: We need about 10,000 NXT to buy 20,000 VOTES @ https://www.mintpal.com/voting if we sell the NXT @ 0,0001 BTC

Punkrock, how important is that site?

[punkrock]

@pinarello: Dunno, they have a trading volume of 130 BTC for PandaCoin for example. More exchangers are always better for us, or? And the website doesn't look that bad. 10,000 NXT to get into it the next days is not so much for us as a community, I think. We could collect the 10,000 NXT at an account and I would do the rest and buy the VOTES.

I only see a few people running nodeminer, someone's going to collect the 1000NXT bounty without much effort

James

P.S. I must be doing something right if emule is complaining about me

Maybe someone can explain this. In terminal, I see I've collected

Total unclaimed nodecoins 5289.0

But in AE under my assets (Wesley's client), I only have 51 listed. Is this a client bug, or is the asset issued at a fixed time every day?

Right now there is an auction every block for all the unclaimed coins. You just need to send NXT to the robot and be the highest bidder.

However, whoever has test acct 3323287590575539129 has modified the nodeminer to make excessive claims. Please understand nodecoin has only one day's work and has no protections. We must use the honor system to prevent unfair claims on the 1000 NXT bounty. Any abuse (changing nodeminer claim frequency) will disqualify you from bounty.

I still want to test the auction process, but that requires coordinating competing bids from multiple people

3323287590575539129 please stop cheating.

James

Erm you said you wanted some load so I just spawned 50 copies on my macbook...
I didn't change the code.
I've stopped them.

Fair enough. By load, I was more hoping for a dozen+ users from different IP addresses...

I am thinking of using the NXT that comes in to bid for the unclaimed nodecoins to then bid for them on the Asset Exchange. This way there would always be a somewhat liquid market for nodecoins and it would provide a direct mechanism for people to support forging by bidding on nodecoins

I doubt there will be much speculation in the value of the nodecoin since the cost to create them is to run a forging node.
Is there demand for me to add account tracking for the nodecoin rewards? Maybe if people automatically get credit to their acct people are more likely to use it. I can set the allocation percentage for the lottery to something like 80% to the acct that earned it and 20% to the high bidder. To collect your coins and the unclaimed nodecoins, you just have to send in NXT bid. 1 NXT would get you all of the nodecoins you earned, but to get the unclaimed nodecoins you need to be the high bidder.

Kind of combines rewarding people for forging, with a bit of lottery action. Anyway for the multisig gateway Ive gotta add acct tracking anyway.

I dont like the feeling of buying votes as I think NXT dont need to buy votes, it will be popular soon enough.

[punkrock]

Than we all have to vote as hell, day by day, hour by hour as registered users (6 votes per hour) to get 20,000 votes.

[swartzfeger]

Thinking out loud here -- excuse the smoke.

I'm not sure if James (or was it Ricky?) that had a smallish bounty for the best 5 ideas to make money with Nxt (I'm probably wildly misremembering this).

Damelon and I had a quick casual chat over at reddit that got me thinking. He was discussing how mining in EVE is similar to forging NXT in that they're FUN. Having mined a lot in EVE, I agree and see the overlap.

What if we had an old-school style MUD plugged into the AE? It may be crude enough where it would have to be turn-based (like the old play by mail games). But holy !@!$ -- a persistent, online world, sitting atop the blockchain. WITH MICROTRANSACTIONS.

I'm such a geek that the very first thing I thought of when the AE was described here months ago was WoW's auction house and EVE's market.

A simple, online, text-based MMORPG, using NXT as in-game 'gold'. Could definitely get users involved who don't have the technical know-how for coding but have a passion for gaming and design.

This would have to start off small (a single room Inn) and expand to a village, to a countryside, to a nation, continent, etc.

2016, our own little user-generated online world? Would you pay 3 NXT for a +5 Vorpal Sword that a user found in the depths of a dungeon and puts it up for auction?

I like the idea of SWARMING it, too.
If only because it's such fun to beat the others with a relatively small userbase

Haha, that was my association, too!  
I would definitely play something like this!
The most exciting part of Eve was always the crossover to the real world, building your corp to earn PLEX.
I also like the emergent quality of this idea.

[Damelon]

By the way: Coinhost (just posted on reddit) now accepts Nxt.

Can someone with good english skills please contact https://www.atomic-trade.com/ and ask them if they can add NXT?

I think everyone is able to place 6 votes 5 times a day. 30 votes per user / day. With 50 active users we could reach about 1500 votes per day. Two weeks to get 20,000 votes. And we need 30,000 to beat the others, so it would take three weeks...

Hey guys i need some help!

The reddit-tip-bot went opensource now and i need someone to check the code before i release the Bounty to the dev. Can someone please do this?

Please please

The source code resides in https://github.com/nxtip/nxtip and is GPLv2 licensed!

The bot is based on ALTCoinTip, with some extra files that emulate the bitcoind daemon behavior as far as ALTCoinTip is concerned, plus handle the deposits. See the src/ctb/nxtip* files.

Contact me, there might be a bounty for the code checking!


PUSH

[punkrock]

Yes, please check the code. We don't need a drama like the VTC-community had. Their reddit-tip-bot get hacked and all VTC were stolen.

[nakaone]

maybe it is a stupid question, but do you think something like this is possible?

instead of liking on facebook one could tip - if i remember correctly doge is trying to build something like that. there is a strong incentive for users to IMMEDIATELY adopt, because easily it brings (even if tiny) money

[joefox]

Mintpal is a website which got big quickly by adding copycat coins which desperately need an exchange..

+1

All we're really doing with this "voting" every hour is driving a ton of traffic to a bottom-feeding exchange that doesn't deserve it. I can't stop you, of course, but I have far better ways to spend my time.

[xibeijan]

I think the official website should mention NXT is on the https://www.poloniex.com exchange.  It is a really good exchange, specializing in innovative coins only.

I'd say leave it, bro. If they want to come 2 us and beg to be allowed to list us, fine. But we don't need to bribe exchanges.

Have a look at the total number of votes and ask yourself where MintPal are making more money.....on their transaction fees or on this votes for listing for BTC routine ?

Maybe we should throw some effort into putting a package together to help exchange operators integrate NXT into their operations ?
It seems to be a common theme that exchange operators look at NXT, get confused abuout something and walk away.
Giving them help to get NXT up and running would be more use than chucking cash at them and then finding out that they simply can't figure out how to integrate NXT on their exchange.

[Mises_77]

I already have and they told me they wanted us to pay to integrate it into his system. If we would do that then he would add it.

*Edit- I mean pay to get it implemented because of the different code base.
