NXT is the future
Hi everyone.

How about these for a couple of proofs of concept?  Two one-minute spots I recorded this evening:

General Nxt intro: https://soundcloud.com/whatsupnxt/nxtminute-0001
Nxt minute: https://soundcloud.com/whatsupnxt/nxtminute_0002

I welcome feedback.

It's great. You sound like a pro.

Joefox, go ahead you are the voice of NXT.

don't make it more complicated than that. One community member with a great voice and knowledge of what he is talking about.

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?

Me too,  very very very slow when call the API "getState"

I read the following link in a previous post:

http://wiki.nxtcrypto.org/wiki/Account_Control

This would be a really brilliant feature!

It means almost theft-safe accounts, provided that you can set a control as not reversible

I would do this way:

1) I create a "safe" account A and a "spending" account B
2) I set that account A can only send Nxt to account B and only a limited daily amount

If someone stole my passphrase for account A he could do nothing, if he stole account B he could steal my Nxt but the damage would be limited. If I found that account B is compromised I can create account C and lock account B in the same way as A   Grin

I wonder if such feature could be implemented in bitcoin? Probably it requires some great change in the protocol


+1.  This is a great idea as an option that should be implemented and offered ASAP, if for no other reason to give my caplock button a break so I don't go off on a rant about account freeze codes.

Seems to happen to everybody; very slow responses;

http://node1.nxtbase.com:7874/nxt?requestType=getState
http://nxtra.org:7874/nxt?requestType=getState

Please fix this ASAP, the faucet can't function with such slow requests.

IDEA TO SPREAD NXT

I am a member of the biggest (huge) bulgarian forum for poker. We have 10k+ members visiting the forum. I have bean spreading the nxt idea constantly there.
I know the owner of the forum very well and he offered that he can organise a freeroll poker tournament where the prizes can be in nxt.

Would you guys be interested to donate some here: 11118780392910028070

I will put the account in the faucet later too need to go do some other things now.

Please please let me get some nxt so I can get the poker players interested in it too. You know they talk with other poker players that are not only bulgarians although bulgaria has a lot of poker, its something like 50k people playing it!!

Also it will be fun presentation of nxt and they know my nickname in their forum so I will be able to chat while playing with them and explain what we do in nxt.

THANKS!!!

They are doing a survey if they want a tournament with crypto... lets do it guys donate something

It seems like the poker tournament will not happen. However I received 1000 (+ 2 from the faucet) for the tournament.

I will transfer back the coins to the donation account this evening. (not at my nxt computer at the moment)
 

you mean it will not happen, because 1002 NXT is not enough or for other reasons?

Natural talent. Great!

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.

Quotable?:


It's really interesting watching this community - you guys are the only "headless" metalayer, lacking a founder or team and yet delivering with real working software.  

Keep up the good work Smiley

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.

Great advice!

I would love some type of NXT podcast   Grin

Get both male and female NXT podcasters along with maybe a live stream and chat feature Smiley

Who is NXT's most prominent female NXTer Huh

i hate to sound sexist but it would be difficult to find a female who was capable of sounding authoritative.

why? take the girls from nxtgirl.ru
I love this russian accent.

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?

what do you mean by 'slow'?  - I have been seeing respoonse times of 1 second or 2 seconds on my raspi since I first started querying it ... testnet has 150ms ...

IMO the best way with voting is to make the fee for the vote proportional to the stake.
