/r/NXT


The subreddit with our correct name finally goes live!


I hope that we can grow to something like /r/Bitcoin.



Suggestions all via PM here or on reddit.com, also if any known member wants to be moderators please write me.

Actually, Odroid-U3 is superior than most smartphones today. It has quad-core Samsung Exynos and 2Gb of RAM. I think it's more than enough for 1000 TPS.

I repeat what I said weeks ago. The RaspberryPi thing can be extremely huge for Nxt. For the network, and for marketing.

If a smartphone (when we switch to binary) can process 1000TPS, a RaspberryPi could also process 1000TPS, am I right? If this is not the case, we should look into the Odroid, if it is far superior to RPi.

Are the RPi running stable? Would the Odroid run more stable?

I have no clue about this stuff but maybe some technical guys could help with that.

If RPis are running stable AND can process 1000TPS (with binary code), I wan't to see thousands of them all over the planet running Nxt. THIS is decentralization in perfection.

I can. Create the poll plz.

I prefer to delegate that to someone else.

On the 3rd of April I'll send the unclaimed coins to the genesis block. U should come to a consensus by that time, if u need this money.

Can somebody other than me audit the marketing account please, the doc doesnt match up with the account.

Have you considered well-tested compression tools?

I know it is tempting to define our own binary syntax but it's far more error-prone than using a matured solution. Another issue is giving up text-based syntax flexibility, expandability and fast and easy debugability. Just speaking from experience, my own and of others (some of which have failed because of that).

I don't know how experienced JL and you are when it comes to software engineering but I strongly advice you to consider different solutions.

Nxt doesn't require to have sacral knowledge. Use logic.

people who know already nxt , dont really take it seriously, so we need to educate them about our "baby"
specially those that think that nxt is scAM, premined and all that crap

I thought that u were going to stay anonymous, but u revealed ur name and ur face.

PS: I didn't listen to the interview coz I don't comprehend English speech.

+1, also bothers me

From eb101 on nextcoin.org:


Can someone send them the necessary data if we want on there?

Those who are skeptical of funding marketing: ask yourself, where would NXT be without the work we've done already? People don't just randomly discover yet another cryptocurrency.
Just look at how reluctant the exchange has been about adding NXT because it requires a bit of additional work, yet we have got more to add us, which has lead to a big increase in users.

Look at all the info we have got out there which has made people trust NXT whereas just 1 month ago the consensus in the crypto world was that NXT was a premined scam. We have managed to turn this image around to "One of the most exciting developements in crypto".

We got a ton of projects upcoming and we've basically only got started.
Look at Ethereum, just look at the amount of marketing they have done and how they are repeaing attention for it. Without having really proved anything they got A LOT of people interested.


There is really no reason for the funds to just sit there and do nothing. Let's actually spend them on making the community bigger and NXT more known to everyone.

OMG!

THANKS A LOT

GREATLY APPRECIATED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ~~~~~~~~~

Bit late, but I think relevant.

I have no problems with someone being critical about funds, but as regards to marketing a critical mistake is made: it's treated the same as a technical funding.

When you fund a technical or development effort, it's easy to put measurable parameters: "If we spend X, we expect to get Y" and that is cold hard fact.

With marketing, especially at the start, this is very hard to do, and sometimes downright silly. Anyone who has any experience looking at marketing analytics knows that at some point you just can't say: "X happened because of Y".

That means that sometimes money is spent unnneccessarily. That's what bad marketeers do! And most people, I am sad to say, tend to judge marketing and PR by that standard.

The other side is, that marketing gets subjected to over-auditing.

I believe in this case, this is happening. I'll be blunt: if people want hard facts on what the result of marketing efforts like LTB minutes and conferences would be, you won't be able to get them. I can tell you that if you don't get good people out there, Nxt has a major problem.

Take the Miami conference. If you'd have audited Nifty and JustaBit up front about numbers, that would have been silly. Even now, when we know that they have made very good contacts, it's still silly. All they can say at this moment is that things are in the pipeline. If you take the hard line now, you'd say: "you don't get funding, because you don't have results". And that would mean they wouldn't be able to get those results.

I sense a large amount of distrust towards the marketing efforts from some corners. Distrust is something different from critical questions.

I'll be blunt once more: marketing at this point needs trust up front. That means funding without too many questions, based on the fact that you know some people who know what they are doing are taking care of it. I put it to you that some developers in here would get blind funding because of their reputation and there wouldn't be as many questions asked as there are of marketing.

Also, from a "division of power" perspective, I would be less than happy if the person who does the audit also is the person who takes the end decision about actual spending. That is putting jury and judge together.

I'm not going to beg for PR funds, but I do want people to know that I really dislike being put in a place where I feel I have to defend my talents and job and explain I'm not evil.

Joefox mentioned www.nxtcrypto.org and www.mynxt.org - nice

I agree with abctc. Because without applications and services around Nxt it will need a few people. I think it is necessary to maintain in the first place application developers. After all, any work must be paid, and developers spend a lot of effort and time for the benefit of its Nxt.

Here's an interesting quote from doctorevil (the guy, who cracked the genesis passphrase):


So, seems like a simple key stretching might not be enough and we might need something like scrypt to make simple dictionary attacks impossible.

It's somewhat big and complicated, but on the other hand we can then have a true brain wallet, when some relatively simple password or phrase will be enough to open your account and still be secure. This will also prevent off-line attacks on stolen wallet files.

What do you think? Do we need it or is it overkill?

Thanks, I'll have a look!
