Hi Everyone, this is Sergey Nazarov. I am indeed not BCnext and joined the Nxt Community after Nxt was launched; the credit for developing Nxt goes to the truly world-class Nxt Core Developers and the awesome community that supports them. Which is growing quickly for good reason and talented coin developers should seriously consider joining.
Because I have spoken at a few conferences (Bitcoin Beltway, Coin Congress and now Airconf) about our use of Nxt to build cool applications like
http://www.cryptamail.com/ and
https://trade.secureae.com/ it seems that someone jumped to this conclusion and posted a public link on Reddit which then got picked up as news.
To answer folks questions about Secure Asset Exchange
https://trade.secureae.com/; we give people an easy two step process to buy any asset on the Nxt Decentralized exchange with Bitcoin.
It takes 20 seconds to register because we randomly generate a secret phrase for you (we never receive your secret phrase at any point, it is randomly generated) and then all you have to do is click on Buy and receive a unique Bitcoin address for that Buy order's creation, sending Bitcoin will automatically generate the buy order in the Nxt Decentralized Exchange at an optimized market price, after which you receive ownership of the asset when the order is filled by the Nxt decentralized exchange which runs entirely on the Nxt nodes; we don't even have an "exchange server" only an Nxt node. All this happens without us having your password in any central system at any point
The Nxt decentralized exchange is truly amazing from a technological perspective and is part of what I will be speaking about at Airconf; in many people's opinion it is the first large scale implementation of an autonomous on-the-blockchain smart contract, allowing the creation of 200+ truly decentralized assets since May 12th, with 3 added daily and 12,000+ wholly autonomous on-the-blockchain exchanges of ownership happening since launch.
By putting buy/sell orders into a pending state that also locks in the associated amounts of the order, this pending state transaction then waits for another on-the-blockchain event like a matching buy/sell order, once certain conditions are met on-the-blockchain the Nxt blockchain's matching engine executes the exchange on the networks nodes, at the protocol level. Really revolutionary stuff for trustless secure ownership and truly decentralized exchange of that ownership.
