I gotta say this, even though the stats can be skewed (you never know if big stakholder
doesn't just send his nxts no another accout) I really like, what you're doing.

What is current block guys? Is it?

Of course I'll volunteer as treasurer.  I'm from Tennessee, the Volunteer State!

500,000 NXT!
aldrin is currently dealing with personal issues and is not able to follow NXT as closely as he wants to. However, he is very committed to the success of NXT and has asked me to coordinate how his NXT is distributed. As a proof of concept, he wants to start with 500K NXT. If this works out we will continue this, hopefully for a while.

The first step is to get a trusted person to handle the funds. I hope Anon136 or rickyjames or joefox will volunteer as treasurer. The treasurer would be responsible for creating the NXT acct and making disbursements. I would be responsible for coordinating spending decisions.

I look to the NXT community for ideas on how best to spend the 500K. This is a big responsibility and I want to make sure the best ideas that are currently not getting any funding gets funded. If you are able to work fulltime on NXT, PM me how much NXT it would take and what you will be able to do if you were working fulltime on NXT.

Amen, brother, preach on!  (That's what they used to yell in the little Tennessee church I attended as a boy).

I use World First to transfer money to and from my UK account for poker and have been very happy with them.

It's ridiculously difficult and expensive to do this thru a US bank.  WF worked with me to get their New York Citibank account listed on my list of "approved" bank accounts I can send money to online from one of my personal bank accounts (BB&T, Wells Fargo).  

All thanks to new managed VPS member farl4bit from NXTCrypto Forums we have another public hallmarked VPS that I am managing.

may i ask here for the latest block targets?
i have some strange things here. just updated to 0.5.11 and have had an error on checksum pass block 30.000.
blockchain was built from scratch. what targets we have atm?

What about making it concurrently readable by other processes and not doing a low level API at all.

network effect, especially if it goes mainstream could support DOGE for a long time. Think Microsoft Windows.

JUST RECEIVED FROM PAUL SNOW, ORGANIZER, TEXAS BITCOIN CONFERENCE:

Ricky,

We are being buried under content, which is a good thing for a conference!  We will be sending out formal confirmations to all speakers by Friday.  I can tentatively say we will have you as a speaker.  If I have to reverse that decision, I can give you a discount on the conference ticket at the $250 level.

I hope that helps!

-Paul

The undeclared war on bitcoin/crypto is escalating. In america if you want to sell crypto to the masses, you need to get licenses in all states you operate in. For internet based, that is 50 states. Each with their own burdensome variation on a burdensome set of forms, bonds, fees, etc. Estimated cost in the millions BEFORE you can even sell the first crypto!

This explains why coinbase is the only place to convert fiat to BTC and they just lowered the limit from 10 BTC/day to $3000. Expect it to continue to shrink.

In July USA is planning capital controls regulations making it super difficult to get any USD outside of america. This all happening around the time the interest on the federal debt cannot even be paid. My prediction is that this year, next at the latest, USD will cease to be the reserve currency of the world. Oil won't be denominated in dollars after that, along with pretty much everything else.

The fact that dollar has been reserve currency for the world (international trade denominated in dollars) has allowed america to do one thing no other country could. Print money to get stuff from other countries. Nice advantage that allowed deficit spending for so long.

well if nxt wants to 'smash it' so to speak it really needs a next gen client that's simple to use and ready to go. It's all well and good showing what nxt can do compared to bitcoin but to show its next gen it needs the client no offence.

Texas Bitcoin Conference Strategy Discussion

Hey everybody, I want to start talking about the Texas Bitcoin Conference in Austin on March 5-6.  

http://texasbitcoinconference.com

We made some initial contacts in Miami about this.  I have written both the official request-to-be-a-speaker email address and also Paul Snow, the conference director, and have heard nothing back at all about getting to be a speaker to introduce NXT.  I think I may be getting deliberately ignored.  I sent another email this morning asking for a thumbs up / thumbs down statement from them about doing a talk for NXT, I'll let you know what I hear - or don't.

Whether or not they let me stand up and talk, I am going.  My jet ticket has been bought and I have reserved a car and hotel room about 5 miles from the site.  Now the question is, what do I do when I get there?

Do you want me to just walk around trying to hand out stuff or do you want me to sit behind a table that says NXT?

It's $2500 for a 2X2 foot square floor space (roughly a half-square meter, for an unmanned display) and $4000 for a seven foot long (two meter) skirted table with two chairs in the exhibit area.  

http://texasbitcoinconference.com/images/docs/Exhibitor.pdf

If we get a table - then what?  I REALLY like the idea of running Salsacz'a Iceland video on endless 90 second loop if an NXT user in Austin can loan me a HDMI TV for two days.   What else can we get ready in 30 days?  2000 business cards?  2000 plastic 3D keychains?  2000 giveaway brochures?  What do they say?

If we are going to build off the great start we got in Miami to do even better in Austin, we need to start NOW !!!

New exchange probably won't change price much. Bter was a special case, as at the time dgex was the only high volume option. Now there are several, so adding another exchange isn't expected to change the price much.

Something strange:

Node » | Next Block: 6633862138064872456 | Blocks: 54091 | Transactions: 109466

While NRS 0.5.11 last block showing 54082

uff, yes, can see. will switch over to .11

ps: really need to finish the last features on block explorer as soon the client is done...

if we had voting here we could decide on a unicode char for PERCENT.. and then we could RULE THE world

Why the hell the guy uses "pc" instead of "percent"? If only there was some short code for it...
