Speaking about voting. Can we just make it possible to choose method when one starts a voting? And maybe even edit parameters?
Yes, we can.
For all the people discussing voting (and I appreciate it!), let's not focus on whether it's 1 NXT = 1 vote or 1 account = 1 vote - it's neither.
If we want to solve it we need to find a clever, unexpected, original solution.
So start throwing here your crazy ideas, like "voting with your car" or "voting with your cat", instead of going in circles.

1 vote 1 human is impossible because of all possibilities of cheating...
So:
Rule 1: There should be a census - minimal amount of Nxts owned on account to be able to vote.
Rule 2: Only enough experienced NXTers should be able to vote (because of possiblity of exploting Rule 1 and level of user maturity is important)
Precise numbers are up to you. I would say minimum of 100 NXTs and a month of owning it.
/edit
Rule 3: Quality of vote makes differece (like shares in stock company) - more NXTs more power of vote - not proportionally of course... maybe 1 vote for first 10 NXTs and 1 more for each next 1000 NXTs ?
3 rules should be enough. You can't make it perfect after all... nothing is perfect...
/endedit
This is logical that only owning certain amount of NXTs for a long enough time makes person a real member of community with bigger probability that he actually knows anything about it...
That's basicly how greek direct democracy worked too...
I would even say that there could be something like a 2 grade votings. Less important stuff decided in majority voting and these really important decissions made in smaller, elite, arystocracy-like type of voting with higher requirements.
Direct democracy works only when there is up to 100000 equal people deciding.
In all democracies there is elite which show nation a direction to mass less interested in politics.
All today democracies aren't direct and people doesn't really decide and they passivly agree that minority rules them... and in many cases there is no real aristocracy to show direction but only bunch of thieves trying to steal as much as possible before next election...
I would also put into voting a possibility of choosing 1 good person for a NXT King
Kingdom can be good or bad depends who is a King but demoracy is always stupid and ends badly
I will repeat it in future when NXt will face inevitable problem of populistic votings (if voting wil be without 2 requirements above)

1 NXT = 1 vote
Power to the few screwing majority... good luck with that. Nxt is already enough olygarchic... you want voting monopol too? a sneak peak to my idea about a green Nxt video:

Thanks pabloangello, it's my Nexus 7, comes up fine on my laptop....not to worry.
This will be the next big milestone in NXT history. This may happen soon I guess.
NXT has got the biggest future ahead with all new fresh technology. People getting adopted to nxt.
Litecoin was like $0.1 last year and skyrocketed in no time once people started believing and accepting altcoins. So no wonder nxt gonna stand tall among all other altcoins and be a real good competiton atleast to Litecoin.

Just out of curiosity guys, but are there any plans to have exchanges trade FIAT directly for NXT?
This is feel is really necessary to get NXT to stand on it's own two feet and make the market more accessible to the average joe. A big part of me really feels that as long as this never happens, it's going to be much harder for NXT to provide any real competition to BTC and/or any other altcoin in existence right now. If NXT was one of the first to adopt this sort of thing, I think it would be potentially huge for this rising currency.

I love this community.
I found a few things in getGuaranteedBalance() that don't make sense to me, but I don't know which are bugs and which are a part of the Transparent Forging design.
Can you post a listing of just that one function?
Maybe the collective brain here will be able to figure it out.

I'm not saying to get rid of any BTC>NXT transactions, just saying that as BTC is valued on FIAT, so should NXT should it wish to stand on it's own stage - instead of being valued directly towards BTC.
TLDR;
My view is, as long as coins are bought or traded with BTC, BTC will always be dominant. It just seems entirely counter-productive to the whole "Second gen" theme.

I need to know the precise definition of guaranteed balance before I can provide a fix. I wrote an alternative implementation of Account.getGuaranteedBalance(), but it is giving me different results than the original getGuaranteedBalance() which CfB wrote. While trying to track down why that is, I found a few things in getGuaranteedBalance() that don't make sense to me, but I don't know which are bugs and which are a part of the Transparent Forging design. I cannot continue with that problem until I know how exactly it is supposed to work.
I am waiting for a response from CfB. In the meantime, I will continue my work on 0.6.0.

Thanks for the update! Bummer...

P.S. By the way I didn't know there was a rule on using caps in this forum.
There is no rule. We are a self-organized community, so just let's try and be better at things we do.
Bold is for something really important, like an announcement, that you don't want people to miss.
Italic is commonly accepted for emphasis, it doesn't "jump" at you from the page like bold.
Anyone else get VERY SLOW responses from the API? I use it on http://nxtra.org faucet - which now loads very slowly since updating to 0.5.10 - any ideas?
Edit: never mind, redownloading the entire blockchain seems to fix this issue.
Edit 2: actually, as soon as it comes to block 51xxx it starts to massively slow down again... Anyone experiencing the same?

Same here. It's unusable after block 51.000. I have to stop developement on my client until this is fixed.

AGREE ....I wouldn't even call it marketing but EDUCATION.....we have to EDUCATE THE PUBLIC.
WHY ARE PEOPLE OPPOSE TO THIS.....WE HAVE ALREADY SET THE MARKETING BUDGET AT 3 MILLION.....lets use some for PRINT ADDS & RADIO SPOTS TILL APRIL.

Would you people stop speaking in caps? What is it, a teenage girls chat room?
I personally don't read any posts with this kind of text.
You want to emphasize something, use italic.
fine that is your opinion..what about bold??..do you think that would work also?

Where is CfB?

Miners(?) are now stronger than in the previous vote ...
It's not only miners.
I had a civilised discussion with someone in DOGE who posted this vote to reddit yesterday.
He basically was worried about Nxt, mostly because anytime he asked a question about it, or uttered some criticism he got swarmed by people shouting him down.
That doesn't give a good impression.
I just linked to some more recent facts and kept at it without trying to convert him and he rather quickly turned out to be a smart guy wanting to listen and exchange ideas.
Sometimes overzealous people can be a big turnoff. If someone doesn't like Nxt, that's their business. (I feel)
It's up to us to keep feeding them facts in a polite manner, even if they become rude. Be better than the rude people.
Edit: and yes, where ís CfB?
