I would actually agree to this. If it works, nfd will be on every crypto news outlet there is. AT is HUGE. It's a death blow to ethereum. Really is that big. It's superior to Turing complete by far
Yes, it will be huge if NFD implements the AT first. It will bring NFD to a much higher level which we never could imagine.
MaWo has kindly agreed to help if Ciyam and his team need. Ciyam has also said he would consider NFD to test and implement if the testing results are good.
By far, if Nxt does not implement the AT after the testing, it will come down to three candidates to have the chance, NFD, NAS, and Qora. Let's do our best to embrace this once in a life time opportunity which may never happen again.
so you think grabbing a 'once in a lifetime opportunity' will suddenly turn on the warp drive and boost a NXT clone into the stratosphere? I got unpleasant news for you: WRONG!
a hysterical 'we miss the boat if we don't grab this unique opportunity' -attitude won't help. The only thing that WILL help is HARD work and building a community. Look at NXT.
There are 2 target groups for a crypto coin.
One group are investors. Investors like new, fancy ideas. They like creative things which sound innovative. They try to buy early and sell in a bubble phase. Currently, you can attract them with anonymous transactions, smart contracts, contract programming, scripts running on top of block chain, reforging, ...
The other group are users. They have a problem and are searching for a solution like easy, secure, sending money with a mobile phone. A normal user is not very interested in an exchange rate. Normally he is not interested how things work. He only want to solve a problem fast.
What's with AT?
I think when it is working smooth it will be a good programming tool to faster solve business problems.
I'm willing to test and help developing AT, but without someone who use AT it is senseless.
We also need a community, users, customers and as base all is relying on - a good working network infrastructure and bugfree core code!
I think we should focus on things which are needed now. In my humbly opinion are this localized clients and a website. We have many investors/users who are not good in English.
We need more nodes with open port 8874 (upnp?).
We need simple, 1-click clients and additional secure options to create and handle secrets. We need good documentation to describe which problems can be solved with NFD.
We need a good marketing which reach our target group.
We already have a great technology. We should develop it to a level of usability that a man from the street can use it.
AT can make some things easier or even possible, but imho at the moment it's not the key to the masses. Currently it's only the key to the wallet of investors, but it's also a technology, which I would like to add to NFD core code.
If we would have infinite development power then it's no point of discussion, but we don't have.
in short:
AT yes but let's first do things people have now a benefit from.
everything imho!
