Wikipedia.org update!

Hey guys,
I finished creating new english version of Nxt wiki page:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:NXT

We have a very nice german version, but you cannot simply translate the text - https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nxt - you need to use new citations in used language.

So it also means this article cannot be translated into languages where are missing published articles in that particular language.

I think now it needs only some grammar corrections and more wiki links and it should finally work. 22 citations could be enough

[Fatih87SK]

If he is up to it, great.

Damelon,

What we're they supposed to deliver?

Can you write down what you want? Maybe some examples.
Then I can tell you guys if I can deliver what they supposed to do.

Jimmy Wales is discussing wikipedia potentially accepting bitcoins on reddit

http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/201fa6/hello_from_jimmy_wales_of_wikipedia/


Interesting quote

What I've said for a long time continues to be true. I'm "cautiously pessimistic" about Bitcoin.
What I mean by that is that I'm loving the idea but I see a lot of real problems. One of my concerns is that the complexity of it all will hinder adoption.
I also have concerns that are perhaps born out of a lack of full understanding. What happens when BTC mining returns drop significantly lower than costs? Will transactions fees be sufficient to induce miners to continue participating?
But I'm not forecasting doom for BTC. I'm cautious. I don't know enough to say for sure.

Wikipedia potentially accepting bitcoins. It looks like he is afraid of Bitcoin and he's right. Maybe he would like Nxt gateway. Use it for NXT, BTC, and altcoins? He should at least know about our possibilities.

Hey Fatih,

What they were supposed to do was something like this: http://www.slideshare.net/GrahamRobertson/how-to-write-a-brand-plan

So: not the áctual promo material and brandéd material, but the underlying brand itself.

The slideshow gives a pretty good impressing of what a brand actually is.
A brand represents the "vision" and strategy for Nxt and includes, but is not limited to the visuals.
That's why I made that questionnaire. I still have them and think they can be of use.
I also still think we need a "branding" as it will force us to define at least á vision instead of the "all over the place" approach we have now.


By the way, they called me tonight and at least will give us a business card and their plan for a landing page.
Apparently they feel bad, too, mainly towards me. So when I get these, we might still be able to use it.

[salsacz]

Nxt is still a baby... no rush I think

[salsacz]

Very little, but still, we are there

http://www.dcmagnates.com/any-coins-resistant-to-malleability-attack-mastercoin-explains-how-it-is/

There are also “2nd generation”cryptocurrencies claiming to have been built independent of Bitcoin, one of the most prominent being Nxt.

[salsacz]

I think they could put there at least some joke... We will be smarter.

https://www.thunderclap.it/projects/9688-dogecoin-such-community-wow

Our timing could be after AE release, so what we will definitely need is a picture/banner 580x270, but the text must be redable in smaller format, cca 320x150

[salsacz]

now I can see Quark can have a video

here they use nice colors, design:

To be honest;

I can't do this 

I've got one or two classes about branding when I was studying.
So, it's a waste of all of our times when I start with this.

Sorry guys.

I will just stick to 2D design (not a professional either, but I like to do that)

I am reviewing a huge theses about Nxt from the economics, but still, there are topics we would like to have written and prepared for journalists and publishers. I am already in contact with one Forbes guy..

the free topics for Nxt articles still are:

- Solar energy, Raspberry

- Nxt as a national currency, casinos, all kinds of asset exchanges, Kickstarters, Charities

- Gaming currency

- Transparent forging, Zerocoin, other tech features, decentralized exchanges...

- Nxt invites altcoins to host on it's blockchain

- Can be a new internet stored on Nxt's blockchain / DNS system?

Have you got any idea about some other article? Share it. We want to invite more developers and university people

We would like to have more infographics, but please consult the topics here, if you want to make any
see: http://wiki.nxtcrypto.org/wiki/Pictures

I will be rebuilding wiki, but still if you have any idea what should be there, just post it here and I will copy it

Please read article at http://www.nxtcoinmagazine.com/try-the-silky-smooth-nxt-asset-exchange-today/

Mastercoin hasn't done anything to address the "Transaction Malleability issue" besides mandating long confirmation wait times and manually checked withdrawals.  

This is the REAL news right here, courtesy of Come-from-Beyond;

Quote from: allwelder on March 10, 2014, 06:34:58 AM
so,what the difference or relation between guid and TXID?

Quote from: Come-from-Beyond on March 09, 2014, 10:12:16 PM
I pushed code that supports GUIDs. When Jean-Luc puts it into the production exchanges will be able to use guids to track transactions without worrying about transaction malleability. NIP #1 is not ready yet so I created the solution as I felt it should be.

Bolded for emphasis.  GUID is guaranteed.  TXID subject to transaction malleability.

Very little, but still, we are there

There are also “2nd generation”cryptocurrencies claiming to have been built independent of Bitcoin, one of the most prominent being Nxt.

Bitcoin2014 Conference Amsterdam 15-17 May Update....

I would like to request a logo and maybe a short intro text.
The conference organisers need to have a high-quality NXT logo for their conference website/guidebook/app:

http://bitcoin2014.com/
(Scroll down to "Contributing Sponsors" , 70% to bottom of page, for examples of other logos)

We already have some logo resources, and I'll post a few here soon, but if there is anything I miss, or if someone wants to create something new (keeping within our current branding material, no major changes, please) please post it and help choose the best.

A short introduction text for NXT would also be useful. 2 or 3 lines of text that completely cover what NXT is....get writing.

There are a lot of other interesting developments on the conference front, but I'll let Damelon cover the RHOS story.
My contact for speaker slot organisation wasn't available today, I'll be trying again tomorrow (thursday) to get her on the phone.
I'd like to have some more info from Damelon about RHOS, if possible, see what needs to be added to our conference package to cover their activities.

Anyway:
Logos, please....that is my current priority for the next 12-24 hours.
