I'd advise to put communication with NRS in seperate, non-GUI threads. That's what I do in my client, except for things like sending NXT which I don't want to go through the more complex logic of another thread.
NRS is servlet inside Jetty, so it is multithreaded by design. The only thing developer must take care - not to syncronize too much on global objects, but seems like Jean-Luc know it well. 
I tried the peerexplorer's cache system - isn't there a better way to do it than creating a new account for each cache and polluting the blockchain?
Is there any special thread about marketing?
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/nxt-marketing-promotion-nxt-forum-now-moved-to-nxtforumsorg-412243 IMO I dont think we have anything to worry about until we get to the point where during peak periods (to be profiled later, when the peak periods begin hitting) that we fill up blocks with max transactions, at a rate of every minute. I just dont see that happening any time soon. But it would be great to be wrong.
For example - consider bitcoin - we could currently take over ALL of bitcoin's traffic right now, without even needing TF. If we get to that point, were multimillionaires, and I just dont see that happening this year, But it would be great to be wrong.

+1, wise words.

I would like to contribute my skills (grafic design, website-building, SEO/SEA),
especially for announcing NXT in Germany/Switzerland/Austria for the reason my english isn't that good.

- I propose to allocate 4 * 15k NXT from 10m unclaimed fund for 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th places in this contest.
All the participants did a good programming work, and they deserve a solid consolation prizes.
why not? good idea. +1 All the participants did a good programming work, and they deserve a solid consolation prizes.
CfB can offer a minimum bound on bandwidth required for 1000 TPS (1 MBS) but can't say how many NXT service nodes that can handle the full blockchain are required.
I forgot about a very important detail. 1000 tps @ 1 Mbps assumes that we use binary protocol. Now all data in protocol is encoded in JSON, this adds 3x-5x overhead.
We have to migrate to binary protocol before switching TF on.
I guess after the migration that the API as we know it now would cease to exist? If so, how about if we did switch to full TF, but kept JSON transport? Obviously we couldnt expect 1Mtps then, but could we expect 200Ktps?
If so that should sustain us well long enough to get a testbed setup to convert peerexplorer, block explorers, and custom clients over to a binary transport protocol.
@CfB & Client Devs: I was seriously considering putting the requests sent to the NRS into a separate thread in order not to block the GUI while it is under way. With MANY requests passing back and forth, this can be a real problem, when the GUI seems unresponsive!
Do you guys use a separate NRS-request Thread? And is this still neccessary when the legacy thing CfB mentioned is droppped?

OK, so I am assuming that there is a significant majority in favor of funding NXT marketing for Feb from unclaimed NXT.
This is about funding, not about specific marketing expenditures. If you want to feedback on specific expenditures, etc. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=412243.440 is the right thread. It is an open process, best ideas win. Marketing meritocracy.
So, is anybody against funding marketing team for Feb?
I will be offline as it is late. I hope not to wake up to more debate over spending 250,000 out of 10 million NXT on Feb. But if there is debate I will debate. I hope to wake up to see CfB has transferred 250K from unclaimed NXT to marketing team.
Continuity in Marketing is important. Please continue funding Marketing. We are in critical time of other second gen making releases.

What is your problem with our marketing effort?
James
You forgot a seconded your idea for marketing fund which was released to Salsacz....so i'm very very pro marketing if I may say so.
I am glad we come to agreement.

Does anybody know how to setup a testnet? How many servers, etc.
I might need to get one setup as early as end of next week.

obtain a list of participants, have them generate new accounts from new passphrases
these particiapants will provide IP addresses of their clients that will particpate. these IP addresses will be used in wellknownpeers files
set up a network of clients that are configured to use some other 2 ports other than 7874/7875
have a member on 1 client willing to send NXT from their local client on the testnet from an existing account to all other new accounts
then we are basically running on an isolated fork with just limited people
There is already one testnet running, search the thread.
Running another one doesn't seem to have much sense

@ Salscaz:
OBJECTIVE METRICS == Number of Tweets mentioning Nxt...per. day after the marketing effort. etc
you can build on this easily per. week.....per region.....very objective.
EDIT: Did the tweets spike up in southern California region after the LTB radio show? we can track this for the next episode.
radio takes at least 3 exposures to have a measurable effectOBJECTIVE METRICS == Number of Tweets mentioning Nxt...per. day after the marketing effort. etc

Also do you care about commuters in California or crypto industry decision makers?
If you feel you can do marketing so well, then please become more active in marketing thread. The issue here is to BEGIN funding marketing with unclaimed NXT.
Do you think the marketing team deserves to get Feb's funding? Yes or No. If no, what is the reason?
Yes they should receive Feb funding....the Miami conference results were more than enough....we need to continue the momentum.
OK, CfB, please release 250K from unclaimed NXT for Feb marketing budget.
James
There is the problem. In order to get metrics on radio effectiveness, we will have to spend just as much or more to measure it with scientific polling of target demographic.
Salsacz is already tracking online media....so I think this is a natural progression.
Big spike in new accts today. Is this good enough for you? Also notice the spike at beginning of Jan, that was from marketing push around the source code release
Is this good enough?
What is your problem with our marketing effort? It is like people complaining about nexern's client's color scheme. Should we pull his funding because somebody doesn't like the color scheme? Or because he is a week late?
Find competent people. Trust them to do a good job. Delegate.
