Leaving the various in and outs of the GW debate to one side:
There is no way we could market NXT as "a big solution" to any sort of environmental issue.
Its a big fracking planet, and NXT's power consumption (and therefore power generation need) is miniscule in comparison to, well, lots of stuff. Like certain other crypto-surrencies for example.
The point of any decent carbon-offset scheme is more like simply picking up the rubbish after a party.
NXT burns coal/oil to get electricity, NXT plants some trees to make up for it. It's as simple as that.
Our marketing point on this can only be : NXT tries to clean up the pollution that NXT causes.
Then go ahead and market that asset as such. But DON'T market NXT that way. What you just effectively said, is that Nxt causes pollution.... You are unquestionably just trolling. Who has ever even remotely suggested that we would market NXT as a solution to GW? WTF? Bitcoin uses ridiiculous amounts of electricity, NXT does not. So NXT = greener alternative. There are already a ton of articles on Bitcoin and it's role in emissions. This is something that is being written about. |

NXT is one of the very few cryptocurrencies that has a completely different codebase to Bitcoin. It has came a long way from simple node and webclient software to offer a range of stable and incredibly feature rich clients. Several second generation features have already been implemented as well as a fully working asset exchange(stock exchange). It currently ranks in the top 5 of all crypto market caps and this is no coincidence. My take on yr opening line, Twin. I could go thru the rest of it over the next day or 2, if you like. |

There are already a ton of articles on Bitcoin and it's role in emissions. This is something that is being written about. His quote was "NXT tries to clean up the pollution that NXT causes". I'm just pointing out that you might want to re-think that slogan. You can easily mistake that as "NXT causes pollution". That's all I'm saying. I'm fully aware that electricity, in most cases, causes pollution (depending on how you define pollution obviously). You guys really don't respect peoples intelligence (at least regarding people with differing opinions) much, it's obvious. Sorry if I got the wrongful impression that you wanted to market Nxt as a GW solution, and sorry if I wrongfully assumed you were in favor of carbon taxes, it's just that usually seems to be the ultimate goal with most environmentalists... But like I previously said, if you guys just want to plant a bunch of trees and try to peacefully change people's minds, go for it. I have nooo problems with you, and I respect the work you guys are putting into Nxt. Thank you. |

Holy Sh*t! Nice! We're getting closer and closer to the top! Yup. #3 is not a stretch. Litecoin will take some unseating. And it's cryptoland, so anything can happen at any point. But that move was a triumph of fundamentals over hype, so I hope the same will keep happening. |

Apparently.... Another painful news; Mintpal: The DRK/BTC market is currently frozen because of fork issues, we will bring the market back when the issues have been fully resolved. Poleniex too. Suspicion is they are trying to stop the dumping... all cloaks and daggers stuff right now |

I always laugh when Max gets burned. I was laughing big time when Maxcoin was crashing and burning shortly after launch. I don't know why, as I don't really have any personal vendetta against him or anything. I guess I just like to laugh when obvious money making schemes catch so many people by surprise... |
