[BOUNTY] Announcements for Nxt (the first pure POS coin)

[Meizirkki]

Hey there!

We have a final, permanent home for the wiki at http://wiki.nxtcrypto.org

If you go there and create a user account, you can start translating pages.  The easiest thing to do is to go to http://wiki.nxtcrypto.org/wiki/Special:LanguageStats/, where you can enter your language code (de) and it will give you a list of pieces that need to be translated.  You should be able to copy and paste most of what you've done already, if you've been working on translations elsewhere.

For a bit more info, see: http://wiki.nxtcrypto.org/wiki/Help_translate

The translation engine on this site will allow the wiki to be translated "in place" -- we no longer need to make copies. It's pretty slick; at WORST you'll need to learn a little about wiki markup.  See http://thenxtwiki.org/wiki/Help_translate for info on how translating works.  

Setting this up DID require an additional financial investment, so a few coins tossed my way won't make me upset.  Address is in my sig!

Translations can not be done. I can type in whatever I want but it won't let me review them.

Translations can not be done. I can type in whatever I want but it won't let me review them.

I can translate into French, using another basic user account, with no problems.  Are you sure you're doing it correctly?

"Translation reviewers" are a special category of user on the wiki -- not just anyone can do it.  Basic users can contribute translations but other folks are supposed to review them.  If you'd like to be tagged as a reviewer, PM me and let me know what language you're working with.

I click on "translate this page", choose "Finnish" (already chosen as my default setting) and proceed to translate. I did the Main page and went to review tab. It won't let me review any part of the page and shows "0% done" in the bottom bar. No idea what's wrong. I tested this on chrome and firefox. Can you come to IRC for a while?

[salsacz]

cool, that page with untranslated sites is already in Czech

please repaire registration link at http://thenxtwiki.org/wiki/Help_translate

[rb2]

I have some free time these days, and could spend this time on some bounties, starting with small tasks (dev, infrastructure, doc).
Any suggestion?

wiki page is down, or just for me?

[joefox]

For anyone who's been wanting to help with wiki translations at http://wiki.nxtcrypto.org, please hold off -- the engine is having some issues and I think I can fix it but it's going to require some server downtime.  I'll wait until tonight (Mountain Time) to get 'er done.  Thanks for your patience.

Hi!

==SUBJECT==
I'm interested in Nextcoin, was glad to promote it a little bit among Russian community.

1) I have made a basic article in Russian Wikipedia about Nxt. It should not be deleted like the English one, because I avoided relying on forums as main sources. I don't have much experience in editing Wiki articles, but hey.

2) I have also written an entry in the Russian segment of WikiNews about Nxt's current market capitalization emphasizing its popularity even before relase.

3) AND I keep an alive node 24/7.

==PROOF==
1) Links
https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nextcoin
https://ru.wikinews.org/wiki/Nextcoin:_%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B0%D1%8F_%D0%BA%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%BF%D1%82%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%BB%D1%8E%D1%82%D0%B0_%D0%B4%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B8%D0%B3%D0%BB%D0%B0_%D0%BA%D0%B0%D0%BF%D0%B8%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%B8%D0%B7%D0%B0%D1%86%D0%B8%D0%B8_%D0%B2_58_%D0%BC%D0%BB%D0%BD_$

My brand new profesionally looking introducing video for the Nxt hompage. It took me 6 days and long nights (one day up to 7 AM), but finally here it is:

http://wideo.co/view/1504591387756502643-nxt-generation-of-cryptocurrency

low quality:
http://youtu.be/ktMGC-Nq9Zo

If you think the video deserves any bounties, donations or thank you gifts  for my effort,  

Then my Nxt is:
15003961341330858247
 

If you like the video and think it will help build a good reputation... It took me about 50-60 hours to create it during these holidays. Since I have no job I decided to help Nxt with marketing and I will continue. But now I would also probably pay for the download of HD version that I would upload on:
Youtube
Facebook
Vimeo
and many other sites

Then I would pay for deleting of the logo, if you think the video deserves to be used at our homepage (like Mastercoin or Bitcoin). Do not hesitate to comment video now, I can change or improve it before releasing it to the other platforms. There can still be changed logos if we choose another ones..

Then I will be promoting this video in at least 100 sites, in comments to other youtube videos, as I spent so much time making it, I will try to get as much attention as possible....

After a month of watching Nxt and trying to help the community I could insert to the video explanations of some myths and misinterpretations. I used my experience with other videos I had created before. Then I added my own research, when I used important comparations with Bitcoin… Thanks (big thanks) to Ola I could provide a powerfull voice over, and with permission of Psybits I used some of his sentences for the voice scenario, since I am from central Europe and I know english only thanks to TV Shows. Also I thank to QBTC for providing current logos in HD.

I am aware that the amount of bounty prizes may look unfair comparing each receivers' efforts and contributions, but please remember that each prize I promised when the Nxt price was different and also my perspective of the pool sources (unaware of coming projects-in-need for a bounty) was different too.

From the pool source that I am holding, there remains about 148K Nxt that I am to use for supplying the press campaign (~100K) and 48K for other purpose coming soon. The full reports of spent coins of the pool will be posted by me in this thread ASAP.  

PS: by the way happy new year to all of you guys and thank you!

I have squashed the bug on the Nxt Wiki that was preventing translation work from being saved.  If you'd like to help with wiki translation, see http://wiki.nxtcrypto.org/wiki/Help_translate

As mentioned before, I have moved the wiki to its final, permanent home under the "nxtcrypto.org" domain.  It is running on a separate, dedicated server that I'm paying for and administering.  If you have any questions or feedback, let me know.

The LOOK of the wiki will improve but I'm waiting until logo voting is all done!

[joefox]

My brand new profesionally looking introducing video for the Nxt hompage.

I'm love the quality of the voice recording, but the copy/script that was used is BAD English.  It's a bit of a shame because the video is otherwise REALLY good.  I can help with this, though -- I can proofread/edit your script.  I can also record a new voiceover if needed (I'm a pro actor as well).

here it is, but it is not HD and still with their logo:

I think we are in the stage when this could be a group effort, Ola already provided a voice over, Psybits agreed to use his sentences and QBTC sent the logos. Here is my script, lets the big group grammar correction fight begins This video will be in TVs, Conferences, it will probably have influence on millions of people deciding if they want to join Nxt (and I received only 6K Nxt for the video (for now), while lynnx has 400k, although he posted his video after the deadline as well)

Scenario for corrections:

1.   What is Next?

2.   In past you could barter, pay by gold or paper money, such as American Dollar. Recently people started to use digital currency called Bitcoin. But it was too slowly, unsecure and needed too much of the computer power. After Bitcoin and his clones experienced some ups and downs, the second generation cryptocurrency was born. Fast, secure and green Nxt.

3.   Nxt focuses on decentralization. All transactions and wallets are decentralized and kept on the network. With decentralized peer to peer exchanges you don’t have to pay high fees to the providers. Decentralized DNS improves the security and protects you from censorship. Alias is a very cool function that brings us to the whole new level. Don’t be just a number! Welcome to the 2014!

4.   Never forget, that Nxt is brand new software. This is no fork of Bitcoin!

5.   The initial Nxt distribution process was completely fair and very public. People were advised to send Bitcoin to the genesis address in exchange for NXT. All NXT coins were sold to the original stakeholders. Now they are selling, donating or using Nxt to pay for work on the coin. 30% of Nxt money has changed the owner after three weeks. Do you know, only 22% of all existing Bitcoins have been transferred in 4 years of Bitcoin existence?

6.   As a first cryptocurrency of the second generation, Nxt has a lot to provide. There is no such thing as Bitcoin mining in Nxt. The system of next mining is very green in power consumption, since Proof of Stake mechanism doesn’t require massive amounts of hashing power. Selfish proof of work mining problem was finally solved. The price of NXT will never be affected by miners! Users gain transaction fees for maintaining the next network. The more coins you have, the more blocks you will generate, but the amount you get per block is dependent on the transaction fees included in the block. Remember: Everyone gets the same return of investment.

7.   Nxt’s code supports colored coins, - a way to designate specific coins - and tie them to physical property. How it works? You send your currency to the gateway.  The gateway issues the asset on the next network via colored coins.  That asset is then transferable on Nxt.  All kinds of virtual currencies or other commodities will be able to be traded via the Nxt network!

8.   There will also be many socializing features, not only an Alias. You will be able to chat and send messages to other users – always via peer to peer connections. Because of no central leadership, people will be able to vote about some important events, such as releasing the whole source code to the public.

9.   Nxt brings a new revolution for crypto currency. Next generation of crypto currency. Now we will have a currency and infrastructure which is based on a 100% original code base, 100% green, accessible to anyone on the planet, truly secure, and fast.

First sent corrections:
BitcoinForumator:

At 0:10 the narrator says: "...called Bitcoin, but it was too SLOWLY..."

It should be "...called Bitcoin, but it was too SLOW..."

+ someone mentioned Bitcoin is "it" and not "he"

rickyjames:

there are several places where the wording is not quite what a native English speaker would say.   I would be happy to work with you if you wish to polish your film and make it closer to perfect.
