totally improvised, no script at hand (so "bravo" to Antonio), vLog episode on "why Nxt is awesome"

It means we are the crypto that is most in view in this big, BIG event.
We're basically everywhere, which is why I'd like as many people as we can get to be there.

We also get to do the crypto keynote speech and have a booth ánd do a crypto seminar for a lot of top level bigshots from the financial business.

Enormous potential for making good contacts here.

People were excited about the UK Treasury? Those and more will be here, and we get to talk to them and inform them about Nxt, and who knows what else.  

I've been putting quite a bit of effort in trying to get this out and have made some very cool steps.

First of all I have begun implementing my new format for the project, it has a couple different steps:
1. Jay Framework - A javascript library that can give you api requests without a node, deal with tokens, and create transactions (bytes and TX_ format)
2. Jay Client - A small single page html (like vapor) that takes the transaction bytes generated by the framework and sign and broadcast them.
3. TX_ format - formerly TRF, looks like TX_3YoYmaTiHaxe7ApnLdGRJWnLUnmbB4r9lSsr5pudM (that one says send 1 QNT to x account)
TX_ format is my Jay specific format for shortening transaction bytes and handling them throughout the system, you can also use standard tx bytes for Jay, but this makes things much simpler as you don't have to specify a sender, timestamp, or any whitespace, as Jay Client fills that in for you.

Where I am now:
Jay Client has made its first test transactions and has made big strides in ease of use. You can also deal with many accounts simultaneously and it adds a wallet.dat type layer of security with a PIN that you need to enter in order to make any kind of transaction.

TX_ format is as follows "TX_" + Base62(1 byte TRF ver. (01), 1 byte type, 1 byte version/subtype, 8 bytes recipient/genesis, 8 bytes amount, 8 bytes fee, 4 bytes flags, attachment, appendages)
This will be more clearly defined and documented soon enough, but I still agree that TX_ format is useful.

Jay Framework is on its way to be caught up with Jay Client right now, Once done you will be able to create nxt transactions easily with a single function.

As for what I plan to do with it once the framework and client are available, I have a few things,
- Test interface, A simple page to display how everything works and showing off the cool things that Jay allows for.
- InstantDEX support, A Jay supported Instantdex web client.
- Play around with other SN services as web wallets (MGW, neodice, freemarket)

So I will be busy for a while.

thanks to everyone for all the support I've gotten so far on this, I look forward to Jay's release.

NXT and Manx Telecom are Platinum sponsors at Mind The Gap crypto currency expo.

Manx Telecom, the Isle of Man’s leading communications provider and only twin Tier 3 data centre operator, is proud to announce their platinum sponsorship of the Mind The Gap Expo on 10th April 2015, alongside the 'Blockchain 2.0' crypto-currency platform NXT and featuring speakers from around the world talking about crypto/digital currencies.

Described as ‘building the bridge between the crypto and financial worlds’ and attracting over 2,500 registrants in advance, the virtual exhibition will showcase key players of the rapidly developing digital currencies sector. Commenting on the company’s sponsorship, Dale White, UK and Channel Islands Business Development Manager, who is speaking at the event said:

“Innovation and pioneering new technology have always been part of Manx Telecom’s role in developing the Isle of Man’s competitiveness as an international business and finance centre. The digital currencies sector is a perfect fit, combining Manx Telecom’s world class data hosting facilities at Douglas North and Greenhill data centres with our diverse, global connectivity via off-Island cable links and/or our mobile roaming agreements with over 180 countries. We’re looking forward to working closely with Coinstructors as organisers of the Expo and our other Isle of Man colleagues across government, fiduciary, legal and banking sectors to grow our customer base in this sector.”

Virtual exhibitions such as Mind The Gap are becoming more common. Hosted in an online environment similar to a three dimensional website, they offer all the same layout, functionality and promotional opportunities as physical exhibitions, but without the travel, logistics and high costs to exhibit, and are free to attend.

Lee Gibson Grant, Founder at Coinstructors, added:

“We’re delighted to have Manx Telecom on-board supporting what will be a major event in the digital currencies calendar this year.
As a jurisdiction, the Isle of Man has lots to offer in terms of telecommunications and power infrastructure, corporation and personal tax, inward investment grants and business-friendly legislation. We’re honoured to showcase the best the Isle of Man has to offer on a global stage to our visitors.”

Btw, I mentioned a hardware based NXT wallet a short time ago here. We are done with our beta devices, testing as I type and will have purchasing options up soon. But in the mean time, I wanted to ask if anyone knows how to get in touch with the dev team? I was hoping to see if we could possibly get some stickers to include with each NXT version of the device (beta devices will be for NXT, HZ and BURST)
