How much longer is discussion about 5 separate topics going to occur in one thread? Am I the only one who thinks this is an ineffective way of communicating?

Probably forever.  I like it.  This place is like a noisy and boisterous pub, a fun place to be.

Don't you think it would be more effective and productive to discuss individual, big topics such as the voting system, asset exchange, marketing etc. in their own threads? Wouldn't it be easier and more timely for people to catch up on things that are of immediate interest if they can be found in dedicated topics rather than having to page through 20 pages of a mixing pot of client problems, voting system discussion, Too Damn High memes, questions about when NXT is going to hit $1, etc? Come on Ricky James, you're one of the more sensible people around these parts.

why not lobby the bitcointalk mods to add a new section on the front page below bitcoin discussion.. have a nextcoin discussion?? Smiley



Because I'd rather talk to people in the community about it. Why do people think this is the most effective way of discussing and solving problems? With the amount of back and forth discussion about the intricacies of a voting system, surely people must have better reasons to keep discussion of multiple issues in one thread other than tradition.

The mods already showed to have negative attitude to Nxt. At least one of them.

Since the main exchange is NXT <> BTC, you should see some form of price adjustment when one or the other loses or gains value.

Each trading pair has its own Market.

I understand, BUT  Grin

BTC has a value. When NXT came to life BTC was worth let's say $900 (don't know what it actually was). It looks like THAT price was the starting point for every other trade ever since... It hasn't moved up or down with BTC.

Would be cool but I don't think they'll agree, they've been constantly pointing out that this is a "Bitcoin" forum.

To be a Nxter you first have to be prepared to wade through 1300+ pages and then you need to keep reading another few pages every day.

I have no problem following all topics. If anything, it's convenient to monitor only one thread instead of 5.

Yes, for now, but as the complexity of the NXT ecosystem grows (and it seems like many here are expecting some sort of exponential growth), this will be a poor form of organizing and sifting through information, no?

Once it becomes too much of a mess people will naturally head over to the NXT forums. The infrastructure is there, it may be used any time.

Don't you think development and organic project growth could be streamlined through focused discussion in dedicated topics?

Once I receive Nexern's email address, the next step with Cryptsy takes place. The email is written, waiting to go out.

Great!

Do you have any information as to how good the chances are to add NXT @ Cryptsy?
How long might that take?

Changes are very high (given their responses). It's more a matter of when than if.

When exactly can not be answered by anyone but Cryptsy themselves.

One can always head over to the NXT forums, eh?

This thread has a different purpose, it's indeed a mix of everything (which makes it so interesting).

They can but it's lacking a network effect and support from core devs.

@ Guys who developing Asset Exchange clients:

Cooperate and send me what API calls u need, plz. I don't have time to read thru all posts, too much work to do.

Just read the summaries!  Cheesy - http://www.nxtcoins.nl/50-2/

I don't include requests for API calls in my summaries, though. Smiley

This might sound like a n00b question, but I have no answer.

As we all know NXT price seems to stabilize around 0.00008500 BTC.
Why doesn't the price increase as BTC loses value? This doesn't make sense to me.

It's like a currency exchange rate. When the Euro gains value, the Dollar gets cheaper and vice versa.

How come we stay on these prices then?
Since there is no direct NXT <>fiat conversion (yet) available, this makes it even weirder. Am I right?

Then when NXT seems to lose value you get LESS BTC for your NXT, but when BTC loses value, you do not get MORE NXT...??

What am I missing?

just a guess but ppl might be selling there nxt for btc and btc for usd... thus both being sold at the same rate... if btc is falling in value your not just guna stop when you get to btc.. you will trade out to usd and make more btc and then be able to buy more nxt..

Actually there is direct NXT <>fiat conversion available, and the fiat is CNY. You can find it in Bter.
As to the price, I don't think BTC is losing value, the BTC price is just fluctuating a little bit, nothing more.
So is the the price of Nxt, 0.00008500 or 0.00009000, no big difference.
Once thing you might notice is that the trade volume in DGEX or Bter is declining sharply, about which I am curious.

That's true there is a direct CNY/NXT conversion, but even before Bter NXT did not move when the value of BTC changed.
At the moment BTC is losing value compared to fiat, doesn't matter if it's called fluctuation, it losing/gaining value.  Wink

Since the main exchange is NXT <> BTC, you should see some form of price adjustment when one or the other loses or gains value.

I understand what you are saying btc for usd, but that is not correct. That BTC <> USD has no relation to NXT <> BTC.

Let me put it like this: when BTC crashes to $100. Would you still sell you NXT for 0.00010000? No, you would want a LOT more. Because now you see that BTC has lost it's value.

Well - that block explorer does *look* a lot more like blockchain.info - and does have a few nifty features - kudos to the creator(s)!


abuelau created it Smiley

Also runs quite a few public nodes: http://mynxt.info/server_status.php

Yeha I was more talking about the domain then anything else.

The http://www.mynxt.info site looks really good indeed. Smiley

And your right that there is an enormous amount of work in the blockchain.info site.
NXT can duplicate any function in much less time than Bitcoin took to create that function in the first place.  

They have the advantage of first-to-market branding and innovation.  

We should take advantage every chance we get of next-to-market reduction in effort required to achieve equivalent functionality.
