@ Passion_LTC.Thanks for the help, bro. All sorted now.
Moving on to my usual
summary and thoughts on the last 30 pages or so (while ignoring the whole Pin/emule/salsacz thing):
Good summary:
All this hand wringing the last few days has been because one or two big stakeholders have sold some of their stockpile. Maybe they wanted to buy a car or something, who knows? The progress of Nxt has been excellent. Wesleyh client is awesome. Asset exchange being tested and will be functional within weeks, Transparent forging and big increase in TPM capability coming in April. Adam B. Levine says Nxt looks like the future Bitcoin and he's very excited about it. Tons of other good news. Don't let the price or the trolls get you down!
+lotsBTW; any one else notice that there seem to be a lot of new guys/girls/things posting here ? Another good sign....
More work for me, thanks, bidji29:I think after the April 4th, NxtFunds should be the leading force in this community.
I propose to the 3 Funds to make an annoucement after that date. Each on a separate day to spread the info load.
Since the 3rd part of the plan is released the 4th, i think a week is needed to organise if needed . So something like 10th, 11th and 12th April.
April 10th : TechDevfunds Announcement
April 11th : InfrastructureFunds Announcement
April 12th : MarketingFunds Announcement
In this annoucement, they do a clear roadmap for this year. Not just some fuzzy goal, but clear one. What direction and goal, How the money will be used, How much exactly for each goal, etc..
I don't think devunds should just be passive, like just rewarding someone when he do some good work, or announce a bounty for a potential project.
They should be active. It mean search for people to work on NXT, make Job offer, going out of the way to find the most efficient to spend the funds, etc...
I sort of like the idea of a roadmap, but it shouldn't come directly from the committees.
Stop looking for leadership. Really, it's the human love of being bossed around by assholes that causes most of the trouble in the world.
If u want a road map, create one yourself and then throw it open to the rest of the community to debate it.
I'll be happy to help, but not as a leader. No gods, no kings.....
Which brings me to:
Excellent news , thanks CfB! Are you being paid for the extra work?
No, but I have some NXTs, so I'm a little interested in success of Nxt.
Good point!! Are there any people working on NXT who don't have a big enough stake to stay motivated? If there are we need to help them get a big stake. Maybe give them an option to buy in at a fixed price down the track.
Just give
me all the NXT. I am feeling a little bit unmotivated today.....
Talking about motivation....good decision, CfB.
I thought CfB and CIYAM are working on TF to make it 100% deployed, aren't they?
I am not working on TF at all - but I do think that CfB is going to proceed with it as originally planned.
Aye, I became tired of all these useless discussions (what and how to do) and going to stick to the initial plan. I'll quit a little bit later (not on the 3rd of April), coz I can't complete all planned tasks by that date.
Damelon has almost got a
woocommerce module ready to go, when its released, let's start getting NXT in use as a 1st gen currency, for example:
A NXT paywall?
Offside the great technical stuff which is developed right now we have to consider, which features NXT should have for the Joe Doe, thereby he will pay with our currency in the internet.
I thought alot about at which places micropayment is used until now. There is flattr.com, for example. I have no idea how succesful it is but there is at minimum one point to critizise: It is not anonymous at all! The flattr-company knows who is paying/donating the money because you have to register with your adress, etc.
Then I remembered a topic, that at least was discussed by a great public in germany: Content at the internet is not free & the "mass mortality" of printmedia. In a row this discussion caused the development of paywalls. Some small and some big newspaper (resp. their online-branch) implented paywalls between the user and their content.
So, in this field micropayments in the internet shall accepted by a great group of normal people.
Should'nt we focus on these paywalls and
1) try to convince the providers to implent NXT as one of the various ways to load your paywall-account?
2) try to provide our own NXT-driven paywall-client FOR FREE for all the smaller websites and businesses? If we compete with the big paywall-providers by offering the service completly free (except the transaction fee, of cause) I personally think some smaller businesses will use the service and they'll promote automatically NXT to a wider public.
And I also suggest that we look at
major online games as potential NXT clients. Perfect fit for our current market demographic, and will get NXT on the log-in screens of millions of gamers. EVE online, World of Tanks.....pay & play with NXT!
Ok, thats more than enough for now.
