Hi everyone, I've been following bitcoin and altcoins for a while now, only just decided to get in and buy some. In particular NXT looks really interesting! Most altcoins are just tweaks on the bitcoin proof of work protocol, but NXT goes about it completely differently, and has new features.

I just set up my NXT account: 12396611639245615519 ,still waiting for my first NXT from the faucet. But since the minimum transaction fee is 1 NXT, that means I can only do one thing with it Sad I'd like to get and send some NXT, at least to verify everything's working right. Maybe in return for something? I'm only a hobbyist programmer, but I've got a strong background in pure math and I've taught university level math topics to high school students. Maybe I could try to write up accessible explanations for parts of the NXT protocol, or anything else folks might like?

(I know there's an NXT thread that's offering bounties for stuff like this, but I don't think I can post there yet as a newbie.)

I'm also looking to buy BTC and NXT with Singapore Dollars (SGD). Any recommendations for good exchanges, or anyone in Singapore interested in trading directly? I also have a few hundred DOGE to trade.


Gotta hit the sack soon, looking forward to replies when I get up Smiley
