James, how about we explore non-legal recourses first? I've suggested proof of prior art and reputation damage, any other ideas? Maybe steganography for art/video assets?

You can probably get a few minutes of free consultation from him on a call back
If he can help and you need extended time to talk, I can pay him in person if you forward nxt.. in which case pm

I would like to get some feedback about the password generator that I just implemented in NXT Solaris.

Secrets consists of 64 characters from the following set of characters: ['a'..'z','A'..'Z','0'..'9',' ','''','!','"','#','$','%','&','(',')','*','+',',','-','.','/',':',';','<','=','>','?','@','[','\',']','^','_','`','{','|','}','~']. 97 different characters.

Entropy should be: 97^64 = 1,423609878848517298732088475247e+127 => 422 bit (Is this calculation correct?)

To create the secret, I use the RAND_bytes function from openSSL. The seeding is done automatically in the openSSL library through OS-based seed initialization.

I was thinking about doing the seeding myself by asking the user to move the cursor or hit on the keyboard, but from what I read about the openSSl implementation, I fear that I might get worse results than with letting openSSL do the seeding.

Why dont you just start with delegating 2 people per conference instead of 5?

please support newby to coin logic understanding )

yes, and then when anonymous user BCNext2 violates our license, what exactly are we going to do about it?  Who 'owns' the source code you are trying to copyright??? because that is the only entity able to bring a tort forwards, and that is centralization.

  doesnt make much sense.

I won't talk about pictures and videos, I don't know how to protected them. But Nxt code is protected against frictionlesscoins. Right now if FC launched his coin based on current 0.5.11 binary, I would be able to kill this coin within 24 hours using a small java program and my notebook. This is how protection works in cryptoworld.

Funding request

We have paid for 1 minute sponsor spot at the Let's talk Bitcoin for 3 months. (http://87.230.14.1/nxt/nxt.cgi?action=3000&acc=2976219914929693803)

It cost 290k NXT for 3 months

- anonymous donator paid 50.000 Nxt
- neer.g would be willing to pay 1/3
- we are still looking for: 150.000 Nxt (they were spent from neer.g's reserv from NxtMarketing acc for now):

...

One stakeholder is willing to pay 1/3 of the NXT. Would anyone join him?

Could we spare some unclaimed coins for this advertisement?

Something wrong with all these discussions about licences. This is a world of cryptoanarchy.

Why are conferences important??

how many people from Nxt should attend conferences?
I would say as many as we could could, but 4-5 would be a good number. Ethereum had 6-7 guys walking around together which made a statement and they all had matching t-shirts on. I think if we could have a good group there, we could gain more exposure and share more hands.

should we try to attend also smaller conferences or focus on bigger ones?
We should be attending every conference, even if it is just being there to walk around and say hi to everyone and shake hands. A continued presence will be vital to keeping our name in the minds of vendors as well as see what they need from us to make it work.

how looks a schedule for the conference for the Nxter?
A Nxter should go to the conference both or all days to walk around and network.

So you think is OK for FC to copy paste and then rip people off?
I want to prevent that. it is bad for NXT to be associated with ripoff artists

Important notice regarding Let's Talk Bitcoin 1-minute spots!

Salsacz and I have been in touch about recording 1-minute spots for the Let's Talk Bitcoin network and we'd love to hear from Nxt champions all over the world.

We're asking you to record SHORT (10-15 second) answers to this question:

What is Nxt?

Here's how to do it:

• Go to http://vocaroo.com/
• Use your PC's microphone to record a message including your name (real name or forum nickname), location, and your answer to "What is Nxt"
• When you're happy with your recording, hit the "email" button and send your recording to [email protected]

FOR EXAMPLE:  "This is Come-from-Beyonce, from Belarus.  Nxt is so energy efficient that I can forge coins on a $35 Raspberry Pi computer powered by a solar panel!"

I'll be collecting these recordings and compiling them into a series of 1-minute spots to promote Nxt.  Keep your answers short by focusing each one on a Nxt feature that that is important to YOU.

They are expecting a completed ad in a couple of days, so please make a submission before Wednesday, January 29.  Record SEVERAL short pieces, if you like -- just keep each one brief.  I'll wrap it into a nice package, and do us all proud.

We need to make sure people understand that NXT is currently evolving very rapidly. The fact that it can even evolve will probably be news to most people. We don't want people to get disappointed that not all of the promised features are there yet. I think we should talk about the incredible TPS, but in a future tense.

Join NXT as we enhance it to the point where it can handle thousands of transactions per second.

That is something that nothing else out there, first or second gen, can come close to. We need to solidify this in people's minds before April, when the attack of the klones begins.

With a minute spot, I would suggest getting a couple of different people to read different spots.  You could have somebody doing mythbusting spots but I think it would be better to instead focus on the really cool features built into next and helping people imagine the reasons why they would actually want to use it.  People are very creative once you point them in the right direction, but the metacoin layer thing is a tough sell at first.     If you focus on the negative stuff people think about NXT, you come off as defensive but if you just talk about why your project is neat and why you're excited about it, that will attract more attention because people think its a good thing not a bad thing.

The perspective YOU bring, going into talk to people about NXT will be reflected in how they react.  If you think they'll hate it, they're probably going to hate it because you'll couch your words in such a way to make them prepare to hate it.  

You guys don't need to be defensive, you have a major advantage - a product that's out, and that seems to work with a development team that doens't have the legal liability of your competitors or some of the jurisdictional risk.   Your disadvantage is NXT appears to be a bit headless, with a few self-appointed organizers but no real structure besides stakeholders acting in what they feel is their own best interest.   It might be interesting talking about that, how NXT is a *real* decentralized org in that there is no formal company at all doing the development or paying for anything.
