+1. There's a lot of people watching the ZeroCoin project with great interest. If we can officially release NxtCash as a joint venture with ZeroCoin, that would be a big endorsement, and we'll get a lot of attention from everyone who is interested in anonymity/fungibility.

this is a joke right?

+1

Would be great if community could hint developers on which license to use!

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

+1. Zerocoin's approach is not simple mixing, it's something more. And if the SNARK thing will hold, it will allow all sorts of applications.

The ability to prove that you've executed some code might not seem like much, but it's actually very cool!

Update #1
I left you yesterday with his first update that he had been speaking to Cryp2cash.com.


“I just spoke with James and Josh from Cryp2cash.com about adding Nxt to their offering. They appear very interested with our dev team working with them to make it happen. What they do is similar to localbitcoin.com with their escrow service, but they work with a debit card provider to offer instant transactions. This would allow us to get Nxt in the hand of everyday people, which I think is a huge deal.”


Update #2
Leetcoin – “Compete in your favorite games for Bitcoin.”

“The first person shooter we saw looked good (see screenshot) I spoke with the CEO. He is very open to the idea of adding in alts such as Nxt, I let him know we have a number of talented developers that could assist with getting a wallet to work.  He’s agreed to do a conference call with their CIO, we’ll follow-up early next week.”

Update #3
Texas Bitcoin Conference

“We spoke a bit about the conference and they are shooting to be the largest Bitcoin conference in history. I think we need to get a speaker lined up and get them to this conference. Having this contact should help us get our foot in the door and really spread the word about Nxt.”

Interlude

“- Met with Paul from Cryptsy – Met with Kraken – Spoke about an article with Bitcointalk magazine – Talked to an ATM that will accept alts – Justabit asked a panel question and helped plug Peer and Nxt and Gocoin gave a plug back“


Update #4
Cryptsy

“I had a chance to speak to Paul over at Cryptsy. Paul seemed to be very familiar with Nxt and is interested in integrating. This is not a confirmation but as close a possible. I understand their concerns, we need our development team to help show them the way ASAP.”

Update #5
Kraken Exchange

“I had a change to talk to the team from Kraken Exchange. They seemed very receptive after explaining the tech (thanks to JustaBit for helping out with the initial conversation starter). I have the CEO information that I will follow-up on when I get back home early in the week. Peercoin did a great job of presenting their case, there were people in the Kraken eco-system that were already talking about it. Nxt was an easy transition talk with PoS.”

Update #6
Bitcoin Magazine

“JustaBit (who has worked with Bitcoin Magazine in the past for Peercoin and Feathercoin) introduced me to Bitcoin Magazine’s Elizabeth. She was very receptive to Nxt, JustaBit spent some time outlining it’s importance. They have a new head writer and wants us to follow-up with the Coindesk article. JustaBit will make this happen.”


Update #7
CoinFlash ATM

“Had a great conversation with the guys at CoinFlash ATM. They encouraged us to swarm the website to add Nxt, I will handle this early in the week. Great open source system that facilitates an easy way to add additional currencies. Once we end up on this ATM, we will use it as leverage to work our way on the rest of them.”



Update #8
GoCoin

“This might be one of the of most exciting updates. Justabit introduced me to the GoCoin (payment processor) team. We had an opportunity to talk about Nxt PoS and what separates it from the onslaught of other coins.  JustaBit is passing on final information for Peer…  once we have a solid wallet, GoCoin will be ready to look deeper into Nxt This was a great step and feel we opened up another door today.”

Up

Update #9
Bit Angels

“We sat down for lunch with one of the managing partners of Bit Angels. They have raised over 10 million dollars and looking to fund decentralized applications regardless of the platform. This could be a great funding opportunity down the road… in fact, there’s a crypto shark tank that we’ll talk about shortly that’ll appear at Bitcoin Vegas. Had a great time talking about Nxt and look forward to following up on this initial meeting next week.”



Update #10

“eB101 arrived early this morning, we’re walking around… shaking hands and make final Nxt pitches at the conference. Had an opportunity to talk with the guys over a Bitshares, we talked about everything ranging from PoS to encouraging communities to continue to be extremely civil and educating people that either misunderstand (intentionally or not so intentionally) PoS and next gen systems.  It was a great contact, we are eager to build relationships with other innovators in the space.”


Update #11
Hive

“I spoke with the guys at Hive today. They have a pretty slick OSX wallet that is super easy to use. They are about to expand to android as well as looking for a colored coins type of implementation to accept all cryptos.  I spoke with them about our Asset Exchange/Colored coins feature and they are wanting to get in contact to figure out our release time frame as well as the possibilities of using Nxt for this.”



Update #12
International

“eB101 and myself have been walking around shaking hands today and we started to discuss community organization on the international side. eB101 is heading to France very soon and has a couple meetings lined up to discuss Nxt and see if we can get some traction in that market. I feel like we could use someone that is in charge of international initiatives so that we can have a coordinated and uniform marketing across all countries. eB101 said that he would be willing to step in that role and help out the community.”

I am not a lawyer. Need a lawyer to figure out how to make it so we can prevent klones that blatantly ripoff NXT community's hard work.
For graphics, text we write, etc., it should be easy to put copyright and that automatically limits theft.

I don't need this 3M. Let's do the task in parallel, spend this amount for the development of another mixing algo and then we'll use the best one.

If you are going this route, it might be a good idea to figure out what open licences are compatible with a usage restriction.  A usage restriction is GPL-incompatible (section 6 of GPLv2, section 10 of GPLv3).  Don't know about the other OSI licences.

I will only authorize funds for new things. If you see anything that has already been compensated, please let me know. You can be the NXTfund auditor! I am serious

All projects funded by the NXTfund, needs to be open source. unless community objects, I want all NXTfund projects to have a license that does NOT allow usage outside of NXT and NXT testnet. It is one thing to publish source and allow testing. Another to let FC just steal it.

We should have some sort of animal/human hybrid creature like a centaur, for instance. It symbolizes that Nxt is something that has never been seen before.

please exclude projects that already received 1,2 times bounty, everyone should have a chance to get some.

thx

Pouncer adds 1 million NXT!

The fund aldrin started now has 1.5 million NXT, maybe it should be called NXTfund?

Please post a specific project you can do in less than one month and how much you feel it is worth. All projects funded by the NXTfund, needs to be open source. unless community objects, I want all NXTfund projects to have a license that does NOT allow usage outside of NXT and NXT testnet. It is one thing to publish source and allow testing. Another to let FC just steal it.

I want to get a list of all potential projects and get community feedback.
