working like crazy on SuperNET and other stuff!

Myself, I'm writing a user's guide for NFD. It's slow going, and I have to admit that I withdraw when I'm in writing mode, but I hope the result will be worth my "writer's silence."

At the moment I have many family responsibilities.

WHY WE ARE SILENT

WHY WE ARE SILENT

I have no new news.

Do you have a question or a new idea?
Do you like to take over a task of our project list?

WHY WE ARE SILENT

You can vote for NFD to be included in the in-game IRI exchange house here:

I am always very impressed how well MaWo keeps up with the new releases.  Also he's doing a great job as NFD is quite stable!

What do you mean by "stable" isn't it trading at the min?

There have been some trades at 1 satoshi, true, but they've been low-volume. Atm, NFD normally trades at 2. Every now and then, a huge sell wall appears at 2 - like now - but that coincides with a huge exciting project being announced elsewhere. The last time a >2 BTC sell wall @2 appeared coincided with Supernet being announced. This time, coincided with Blocknet's announcement.

From what I've observed of the market, sells at 2 eventually get picked up. Sometimes it takes a bit of patience, but they do. 3 is a different story: there's a huge sell wall there; right now, the cloud over altcoins in general - except for exiting new projects - means that it's going to take a real "zing" to get it to 3 and above.

Also: the network itself is stable. Keeping up with Nxt does take a lot of work, and MaWo has put in a lot of work - albeit the under-the-radar kind. That's why NFD hasn't been fraught with the post-launch problems that have bedeviled a lot of altcoins.

thanks.

my thoughts... what if you guys create a not for profit foundation burn some of these coins with funds created from a ipo or something and start to invite more people to join the team.

Good to see the great support from devs.
Just noticed that BTER has added a new NFD/LTC market. Not good news.

why not? something I never thought about!

Thanks for your own thoughts. It's a good idea, and it's feasible in Canada (my home country.) A Canadian non-profit can have citizens of other countries on its board of directors. The wrinkle point is moving from a non-profit to a registered charity. The obvious good-work would be "education," but I think the Canadian tax authority wouldn't be that co-operative unless the charity offered free tutorials in NFD's programming languages: Java (for the server), HTML5/CSS3/JavaScript (for the client) and SQL (for the H2 database). The benefit would be in goodwill: students who learn these languages "from us" would be more likely than most to pitch in with NFD development.

You're absolutely right in that we need talent...I'm going to work on that once I finish the "Owner's Manual"...

So things look MUCH better than I thought. And you seem to have the gift with the bureaucratic part with all the writing and patience here hehe. New devs could be very interested to join the non-profit/charity as there would be more to NFD than just another alt coin option. From that you can learn lot's with www.Stellar.org, no need to reinvent the wheel just put it into practice. Maybe I don't know a new coin maybe NFD 2.0 with current holders allowed to sell their coins at a fair rate that the foundation could buy back or something like Startcoin did transferring to StartCoin 2.0 just a thought.
I see a big opportunity here due to the dedication you guys are putting into this project.

Thanks. We could lever your idea of NFD becoming a betting coin - something like setting up a prediction market for stock averages, gold, etc. Someone else mentioned that idea earlier in the thread, but MaWo criticized the idea as being too centralized. One compromise would be centralized feed, but decentralized auditing (i.e., "Every NFDer His Own Auditor.")

Bter opened NFD/LTC market in early days of August.

I'm not sure I had betting in mind but why not?! I think something like a futures market for commodities buying and selling having NFD as the conversion coin and also to convert to different coins would be like winning on the lottery for this project. But something has to be done with so many centralized coins in the hands of a few. imo one way or the other non-profit/charity would be the way to go.

After two days I have now noticed NFD blockchain is not downloading past block 85000.    I was using 1.1.4 so I get 1.2.9 from op but it cannot get it to run. it opens and closes.

What did I forget?

I got the first one to run, but that's a while ago..

Try installing Java 8. That should fix it.

Thanks. I did just that, rebooted but no change.

Hmm...Could you try putting your client into the recycle bin, downloading it again, unzipping it and clicking the run file again?
