Topic: [BOUNTY] Announcements for Nxt (the first pure POS coin) - page 2. (Read 63058 times)

I put 48K for open source code review and will distribute it based on Jan Luc's instruction.

PS: I am sorry if I have not been able to reply your pms for the last week. I have had a bad cold
and my body is still shaking. For the moment I can's stay in front of my pc for more than 15 minutes.

For all bounty seekers, you have to post here or make a thread in forum.nxtcrypto.org which stands to
be the official home for Nxt project (as I heard from several legitimate voices).
nextcoin.org has not any relation with Nxt core development and foundation and also due to recent
negative developments in its twin's site dgex.com, I've been asked by some of the active members
to inform you to follow only btt main threads or nxtcrypto.org .
There was also a bounty pool scandal in nextcoin.org (which I am not updated anymore to judge) that
in any case make it safer and wiser to follow the official voices.
We should not allow some opportunists and scammers destroy the picture and reputation of Nxt.

Once I receive my bounty for the video I will be sponsoring a giveaway via the YouTube channel. I also need to track down what became of the NXT that I and a couple of other individuals donated for a giveaway thread on NxtCoin.org as the OP is gone and I believe only a small portion was used, perhaps the remainder can be passed on via an new bounty or giveaway threads.

Ok guys, I've setup the Brazilian Portuguese Wiki, imported the XML with the english data and translated the Home Page.

URL is: http://nxtptbr.wikia.com/

I will continue to work on the other pages tonight and in the next few days.

If someone is feeling the Christmas spirit, donations are welcome: 9060914620736248721

Merry Christmas! 

Hello,

I would like to plead for a bounty for user "Mistafreeze" on the nextcoin.org forum.

This person is the first to create a Windows 7 installer for NXT client

Tested and work perfectly.

Please consider donating some bounty to him, his work was very important for mass adoption.

I have created a thread at nextcoin.org requesting a bounty fund for wiki work & translations.

I would like to propose the creation of a bounty for people who contribute translations to the Nxt Wiki

It should go without saying that building and maintaining the wiki is a lot of work.  People are scouring forum posts daily to pull out little tidbits for the documentation pages, FAQ, and more and the wiki is growing into a definitive source for Nxt information.

This work has paid off.  In just the past two days, the wiki has served dozens of thousands of page views to about a thousand visitors from 59 countries.  This is all based on data from the new (permanent) site.  Data from wikia shows steadily-increasing traffic since the wiki was first created, a little over three weeks ago.

The wiki is crucial to the heartbeat of Nxt.

In those two days, as well, volunteers have begun to translate content in the wiki.  Already we are seeing content in German, Finnish Dutch, Spanish, French, and Turkish.

The work of these people should be rewarded, and some are asking if bounties exist.  I believe we need one.

What's great about our wiki is that all work is public and auditable.  This makes allocating bounty rewards easy and VERY fair.  On a per-user basis, we can see who is contributing to articles and translations since all work is tracked to user accounts on the wiki, and every revision is recorded in the wiki's history.  As a result, the evidence of the work is clear, and it is easy to assign a per-contributor value based on their contributions to content.

I believe strongly in the work of these folks, but I have to be up-front, since I also believe in MY work.  So in the spirit of full disclosure: I voluntarily administer the wiki, have paid for its hosting, have managed its server administration, and have been working for bounties myself.  I'm not unhappy with the amounts I've received, but I simply can't bankroll bounties for others.  I join the chorus of many who think that larger stakeholders should fund this work.  Bounty funds can be put into a separate account, and I can provide source data from the wiki showing who's contributed, and how much.  Since the wiki is public, this information can easily be verified.

I think a bounty fund of a few hundred thousand is fair, with payout dates to be set a month or two into the future.  The information on the wiki will continue to grow as clients, services, etc. are released anyway.

I hope founders are listening

1.   What is Nxt?

2.   In the past you could purchase goods and services through barter, paying with gold or using paper currency such as the American dollar. Five years ago people started using a digital currency called Bitcoin, but over time it has proved to be too slow, too insecure, and VERY unfriendly to the environment because of its power usage.  In response to these and other concerns, a new cryptocurrency has been born: fast, secure and green Nxt.

3.   Nxt is completely decentralized.  All transactions and accounts are stored on the network, not isolated offline. Nxt supports integrated, peer-to-peer exchanges so you don’t have to pay high fees to service providers.  And the decentralized alias system can implement secure, private mechanisms for sharing DNS names, phone numbers, account numbers, and more.

4.   This is not a copy of Bitcoin, based on a version of Bitcoin's code!  Nxt builds on the ideas behind Bitcoin, but does it all with completely new code, written from scratch.

6.   As a second generation cryptocurrency, Nxt has a lot to offer. There is no such thing as mining in Nxt, so the price of Nxt will never be affected by miners!  Problems with Bitcoin's Proof-of-Work mining method have been solved by the Nxt Proof-of-Stake system. It doesn’t require massive amounts of computing power, so it's very green in power consumption. In Nxt, we call the mining process "forging", and the method is so simple that it can even be run on iPhones, Android devices, and $35 computers like the Raspberry Pi.  To maintain the Nxt network, users are rewarded for generating transaction blocks. They claim the transaction fees, paid by others, that are embedded in blocks they generate.  The total number of blocks generated by a user is proportional to their owned share of all Nxt coins in circulation. Everyone gets the same return on investment for their support of the Nxt network.

7.   Nxt’s code supports colored coins, which is method for designating specific coins and tying them to physical property.  This lets Nxt run a decentralized asset exchange that can be used to trade Nxt for other goods -- everything from other currencies to physical objects.  How does this work?  You send your asset to the Nxt exchange gateway and the gateway issues the asset on the Nxt network by creating colored coins to represent it.  Your asset is then transferable on Nxt, and can be traded with anyone.

8.   Nxt also has many socializing features.  We've already mentioned the Alias System, which can turn your Nxt account number into almost any name you want.  In addition, you will be able to chat and send messages to other users from the Nxt client interface, through the distributed, peer-to-peer network. Nxt will also implement a decentralize Voting System, so that users will be able to collaborate to make important decisions, such as releasing the source code for the Nxt project to the public.

5.   The entire pool of 1 billion Nxt coins was generated from an investment of Bitcoin. People were asked on a public forum to send a maximum of one Bitcoin to a pooled fund that created Nxt.  All of the Nxt coins were then  divided among the original investors. Now those founder are selling, donating or using Nxt to pay for further work on the coin and to support the growth of the Nxt network. In only a month since Nxt's creation, 30% of the entire Nxt supply has already changed hands on the network, and thousands of accounts have been created.  By comparison, it took Bitcoin four years to transfer 22% of its coins.

9.   Nxt is a new revolution in cryptocurrency: the next generation of crypto currency. With Nxt, we have an infrastructure and a forward-thinking currency based on the success of previous coins, written 100% original code.  It's fast, it's secure, it's 100% green, it's accessible to anyone on the planet, and it's available now.  It's what's Nxt.

No, that's a great point actually and since I'm not too IT savvy I often don't know whether a term like node is commonly used in Dutch or we should a term like netwerkknooppunt.

No, that's a great point actually and since I'm not too IT savvy I often don't know whether a term like node is commonly used in Dutch or we should a term like netwerkknooppunt. I think it's important to determine the intended audience when making these considerations. Do we primarily expect IT professionals to read it or people with less technical background. I wonder if there is a Dutch IT terminology thesaurus or something out there. Could be a great way to ensure quality control. It may not be the first priority, but it's definitely something that needs to be ironed out eventually so do let me know your thoughts.
