So much work done on NXT over the last few months in the shape of updates, new features etc........and price says 'so what'. Tedious, at best.  Sad

Ho-Hum. As you were. 

Yeah, very similar to BTC.
If we are pegging NXT success, to BTC, then NXT is definitely up shit-creek without a paddle.  Undecided

Change log:

Improved fork resolution by allowing a better difficulty block pushed from a
peer to replace the current last block.

When forging, do not accept a peer block with hit time after the next hit time
of a currently forging account (i.e. prevent front-running in forging).

Removed the possibility of a forger to miss his turn. Even if late, the block
will still be generated and submitted.

Delay forging and submission of blocks by 20 s, configurable via the
nxt.forgingDelay property, in order to be able to accumulate more transactions
in the forged block. The arrival of a front-running block from a peer however
cancels that delay and the next block is generated up to 3 s earlier instead,
which can be controlled via the nxt.forgingSpeedup property.

The above time shifts apply to the physical time of block generation and
submission only. Block timestamps are always fixed by the forging algorithm
within 1 s accuracy, and are not possible to modify.

Better logging of peer networking errors. Log, but do not blacklist missing or
malformed JSON responses.

UI for adding and blacklisting peers. Blacklisting from the UI is possible
only when admin password is not needed (disabled or running on localhost).

Database optimization. Moved the public key of accounts, transaction senders,
and block forgers to a separate table, resulting in 15% reduction of total
database size. This change will be performed at first start and will take some
time. A shutdown after the first start is recommended to compact the database.

Forging API improvements: getForging and stopForging now allow access using
admin password instead of account secret phrase. This respectively retrieves
the status of, or stops the forging of, all currently forging accounts. As
with other admin password protected APIs, password is not required when the
API server is listening on the localhost interface only. The getState API now
also returns a needsAdminPassword boolean, to indicate this.

Enforce that the nxt-default.properties file used matches the version of the
current release.

Added currency distribution dialog invoked using a link from the currency
transaction info dialog.

Ideas
Let’s actively bring Nxt into every university and school all over the world. Every teacher will be able to download and use teaching materials for their students. Everyone will be able to attend free online courses about Nxt from their home. Young people untouched by the cryptocurrencies will be informed about Nxt via: bulletin boards at the school, lectures organized at their school, student projects led at their school… Online Nxt courses will be visible at every educational site with online courses...


Why Nxt Academy?
The world of cryptocurrencies has got a huge enemy – ignorance. The society isn’t ready for wider acceptance of the cryptocurrencies. Nxt is bringing a huge revolution in many industries, but right now it is just a toy for geeks. Nxt Academy is going to prepare the society for the Nxt crypto revolution by providing teaching materials.

Strategy
Direct marketing to Students – education
Nxt Academy isn’t only a passive website with videos and texts. It actively propagates Nxt at schools, universities or student festivals. Nxt Academy will be targeting all bigger Universities and sending its materials to their students. Students will be working on team projects with their classmates, while Nxters will be mentoring them. They could join international research teams, apply for Nxt Academy grants or Theses of the year. Teachers will be receiving teaching materials, infographics, textbooks and worksheets for children, so they could teach even young kids about Nxt. It will be easy to download all sources, printed materials will be sent to the schools or handed out after the speeches / lectures at the schools and universities.

Online Marketing and Cooperation
All content created by the Nxt Academy will be actively distributed to the other similar projects – Khan Academy, Coursera, Coin Academy,  College Cryptocurrency Network… It’s about spreading the knowledge, so Nxt Academy will try to have its courses at all of those sites and many others.

Nxt Academy will be targeting people untouched by the cryptocurrencies at various online platforms (such as Freebieservers). Nxt Academy provides press releases, news, blog posts, Twitter/Facebook/Weibo posts, forum posts, videos at multiple platforms… SEO, online marketing etc.

Translations are planned for Spanish, German, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, French and Czech.

Research
Nxt Academy will be supporting the crypto research. Database of the research/students papers will be very helpful for all cryptocurrency researchers. This side project will create a library with crypto-related articles saved at multiple platforms. With enough funds, Nxt Academy could provide student scholarships, grants or awards. The dream goal is to have a crypto theses of the year contest during the Nxt Academy conference.

Teaching - Online courses and textbooks
Before entering the Universities or Student festivals, Nxt Academy needs to prepare the teaching materials.

Online courses
Easy-to-use platform for everyone who will be able to learn about Nxt, its ecosystem, its ideas, its abilities. New fresh videos and edited videos will be followed by chosen articles and infographics.

Textbooks
If we want to get cryptocurrencies and Nxt into the mainstream, we need to prepare educational materials for teachers. Textbooks will be created by a cooperation with university professors and school teachers.

Worksheets
Even children should have a chance to learn about the cryptocurrencies. We need to prepare the world for this new revolution. Worksheets, educational programs for children will be prepared by a cooperation with the school teachers.

Infographics
Social media campaigns need well prepared infographics to reach the biggest audience.

What is Nxt Academy?
Nxt Academy is a non-profit organisation which focuses on free education of the students and children. Nxt Academy isn’t a commercial project, so its existence, form and size depends on donations from the Nxt community.

Nxt Academy Crowd funding:
Nxt Academy is a first project using completely decentralized Crowd funding via Nxt Monetary System:

Code: ACDMY
Name: NxtAcademy
Activation: block 370,000 (cca 1st March)
500,000 NXT need to be raised during February in order to successfully finish this crowd funding campaign. Details and questions: https://nxtforum.org/nxt-academy/

How to donate:
1) Click at Monetary System + Currencies section
2) Find ACDMY / NxtAcademy
3) Click at “Reserve” at the “Actions” column.
4) Buy any number of “Units” (more = better Smiley )

a)

b)


How it works?
If 500 units won’t be bought before block 370,000, all pledged NXT will be returned. If at least 500 units will be bought, raised funds will be used for maintaining Nxt Academy (= at least 1000 USD/month). More funds = more projects for students, more lectures all over the world, more external teachers, more printed materials.

They are making a point that CfB points to in a clearer way here: https://nxtforum.org/monetary-system/is-it-possible-to-create-a-parameter-to-have-cpu-only-mscoins/msg158037/#msg158037

They're not just messing about  Cheesy

This is a new idea that can stop ever-increasing arms race of mining.

It might be good for POW MSCoins... CPU only means the little guys stand a chance, which is something that hasn't existed for years. But I think I am getting ahead of myself.

Erik Voorhees recently replied on Twitter that "NXT is probably my favorite alt. Love the decentrailzed asset exchange."
