Actually it should be nxtcrypto.org - if everyone moves there, members will come. Best to use a forum that is independent.

Let's start using the forum NEXTCOIN.ORG ...

# Name doesn't contain "coin" ...

WOW, what a big problem. I am 100% sure it is impossible to change the domain... jesus let's worry about the important details! That the name is outdated definitely weighs heavier than the fact that there are 4500 active NXTers there Smiley))

What is with this obsession with having control over NXT past 1 year? NXT is supposed to be decentralized. It is not healthy for NXT branding to have a official committee etc. at all. We HAVE to have it now that we're in beta phase, but it's not supposd to be a lasting thing. Hell even CfB leaves the ship soon. It's time NXT becomes self-sustainable.

Aren't you in charge of 2+ million NXT from private founders already? What are those being spent on?

NXT is less than 90 days old. Bitcoin wasn't self-sustainable for years.  Spending all the NXT up front is a HUGE gamble that you are going to get it right with no problems, yet we are CURRENTLY FLYING BLIND.  We don't even have the final NXT system from BCNext and JLP on the horizon yet, much less in our hands where we actually understand it and how to best manage it,    much less setting aside payment for an independent review to give it credibility.  In poker terms, you are going all-in on the first hand of the tournament.  

That's what my obsession with one year is.

Could somebody check my node and Android TV stick? http://217.17.88.5:7874/
Seems to me that it is working, but in any case, check from outside world Smiley

It works!

As I understand, this is now public node, right? Smiley So I'll keep it running Smiley

Just want to be a broken record here and say that IMHO a significant proportion of this 9M should be set aside as a rainy day fund that doesn't get spent for say one year.  Otherwise I predict it will be all gone in a year.  There is certainly no shortage of people here wanting to spend it, less than 90 days after genesis block creation.

There's currently mostly an agreement on 3 stakeholders as treasurers with no rights to vote.

3 funds divided between 3 of them (each is responsible for only one account):

* development = 5 million
* marketing = 3 million
* infrastructure (can also be shared as misc or reserve) = 1 million

Then there will be one or more committees, which will actually decide how to spend these funds.

So let's focus for now on taking money from CfB and splitting between these 3 people, so he won't send it to the genesis.

Then we can focus on committees.

I propose as the only currently established NXT treasurer:

1.The 9M NTX to be split into four funds, with the additional one being a rainy day fund that doesn't get tapped for a period of one year
2. The rainy day fund constitute a minimum of one-quarter of unspent NXT
3. The committee spending the rainy day fund is to be formed in one year from genesis block formation to allow new blood that hasn't even discovered NXT yet a chance to participate
4. That rickyjames be established as treasurer of the rainy day fund

+1 I agree with you there. Keep things as decentralized as possible.

There is no official committee.

It's just a group with 10 Mio. NXT. That's it.

When the NXTs come directly from BCNext that is as official as you get it.
My point is that NXT should and will be selfsustainable and opensource. Marketing and development will become decentralized.
I predict that within 4-6 months NXT is already so big that we wont have to worry about it anymore.

First marketing thing to do should be to use a specific forum for NXT instead of creating multiple threads on this bitcoin forum.

This long thread isn't easy to follow, and now you re creating more around ?  Huh

+1^100000

I have said this for weeks now. Let's start using the forum NEXTCOIN.ORG where we have 4500 active members. Why the hell are the main decisions still being made in this neverendingthread that is more disorganized than a crackhead?

Nextcoin is independent too. Just beause the founder also owns DGEX doesn't mean it's affiliated with DGEX. It isn't
You are allowed to discuss anything there.
The point is that it already has a ton of users. Sure it could do with a design makerover, but other than that it's fine.
I don't have anything against the nxtcrypto forum either, but I want this to happen soon.

I have requested this for weeks and asked CfB specifically why he choose to ignore 90% of NXTers and only focus on thist hread, but there seems to be no other answer than "I like this thread".
I think it's dishonest to the spirit of democracy to ignore the vast amount of NXTers that simply do not have the time to follow this thread.

That's how Hitler operated, and it certainly is a straightforward management style.  I strongly urge you to get some sort of comment-based review cycle and feedback loop into your thinking.  

Folks, these committee members haven't actually been selected yet, perhaps you would like to go over there and express your thoughts on who should control this unspent 9M NXT - while you still CAN express your thoughts.

Ricky I respect you cuz you are my elder...but pls note I was a voting member of the Board at 24 years old and the operating budget of our organization was 250 million dollars....so I know how to operate in a strategic management structure.

But yes we must always be open to the idea's of others....ALWAYS.

First, it's "their", not "there".  Very important to get that right in the marketing materials.

Second, ladies and gentlemen, you can see right here and right now how the revolution to take the common heritage of the NXT community from the hands of the many into the hands of the few is complete.

 Grin that's why i'm not a copy writer....I just think up the strategy and they execute what I say.

I think it will be prudent for the community to provide an up or down vote for each slate of proposed committee members.

Voting to be done in a special voting thread with posts. This also allows selection between competing slates. I think it best if the voting was open to eliminate sock puppets affecting the future of NXT.

By voting for an entire slate, we can be sure each slate has the right mix of talents, etc. in them.

We also need to make sure that people on committees cant directly decide to award themselves NXT. Abstention rules, conflict of interest avoidance. Common sense stuff
