leave us some work for Berlin

Update 6: Bitcoin Miami Conference


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.

after the account is activated for forging every NXT in that wallet is eligable for forging, no need to be in the account for 24 hours.

Source: I transfered 1 NXT to a fresh account and after 1440 blocks i sent 50000 NXT there and was able to forge with all instantly.

very useful.

Re-posting my Public Service Announcement:

If you are new to Nxt and don't want to read through 1249 pages of posts, come to the wiki:
- Learn about Nxt
- Get started
- get basic questions answered in the FAQ and common problems pages
- Learn how to set up a public node on a VPS
- read up on the Nxt high-level API, which you can use to build apps, games, clients, utilities, and more
- find additional resources for programmers, including suggested methods for handling transactions, a PHP library, and more.
- check out the current draft version of the Nxt whitepaper, which is being built and refined by top community contributors (it's still rough, but there's lots of great content already)

Also remember there are great forums with lots of info and support for beginners. Many of the best Nxt wiki articles are based on information originally contributed here:
- The nxtcrypto.org forum
- The nextcoin.org forum

Wiki contributors pull information from these threads every day to keep the wiki up to date. You can also help contribute, or translate.

This thread is long and daunting for new folks, and most of the conversation here is not helpful for beginners.  So don't get frustrated -- come to the places where new folks are welcomed and pampered!

Maybe just because it CAN'T forge, None of the Nxts stayed longer enough to forge.

Great news. Cryptsy must hurry up.

Do you guys think it is ok that Bter does NOT forge?

20% increase in price seems to reflect the Peercoin presentation.
(Imagine if we get the chance to fully present the Nxt potential to a big audience)
That's really good news for Nxt however, nice to have someone at the conference

Update 5: Bitcoin Conference Miami
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.


Kraken team were great to talk to.

For anyone who's interested, I've updated my draft of the letter to Mark Cuban, replacing the sentence that so offended NxtChg with:

"We believe that if you are confident in the Nxt endeavor, others will follow your lead, thus furthering our goal of widespread adoption."

Again, this is not something we should send until we have a well-tested full-featured client. When we're ready, I have some thoughts on how to reach him.

Yay, Vircurex ! x10!
Did Cryptsy have a date for NXT?

someone is squatting all the Bitcointalk forum nicks:

http://87.230.14.1/nxt/nxt.cgi?action=50

\o/

Just in case was interested to see this, emailed Vircurex and got response 25th.

Yeah, I would just ignore that idiot, he offers a paid service for crypto advice, he's obviously a miner and not worth our time to discuss.

It seems the author got all his/her ideas from NXT thread of https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=397183.1140 and took the issues without context. NXT community has discussed almost all the issues in quite details in that thread.

You'll see miners claim they support cryptocurrencies as a movement, but then do a 180 when they are told they cannot mine a particular crypto. They only accept shitcoin-clone-cryptos they can mine early on then dump for BTC, because they know that these coins will never overtake Bitcoin. When a coin that does come along and does something different, well... they don't like it because it threatens their investment. (Even though they can just easily transfer BTC -> NXT)

It is not a surprise that a majority of miners stifle competition. People and companies have been attempting to stifle innovation that hurts their bottom-line ever since money was first invented. As PoS becomes more and more popular, miners and ASIC companies will continue to fight PoS coins, as that is the only way they can maintain their profits.

@ the bruteforce password issue.

Is it possible to make a client side wallet.dat type file, that uses a password that is secured with BIP38 similar to BTC cold wallets? It takes about half a second to try a password, so the bruteforcing would be nearly impossible. The wallet.dat file can contain a random password with the highest bytes of entropy possible, that way we could also keep more Addresses in one single "wallet".

Possible or am i dellusional?

Hey, NXT peoples ( and actors)

Just read the last 30 pages, lots happening in the world of our favourite crypto-currency.

Firstly, my personal news:
Spent much of my crypto time in the last few days off on other threads, fighting valiantly with the multi-headed FrictionlessCoin beast, who seems to have finally STFU'd. Nice and quiet for a change on his threads, especially the self-modded one ...3 pages.  

Having just said that: I'm currently under threat of legal action by the FCs, so I'm behaving myself a bit, until I've had time to lawyer up and get some advice (Monday) about my position vs the FCs. I don't expect that he/she/it/they will actually pull the trigger on a legal action, but if it comes to it, I would like to take the opportunity to turn the trial into a fun-filled media event and opportunity for NXT promotion and laughing at the FCs.
Anyone wanna come to Maryland ?
(If u have no idea wtf I am on about, check the recent posts in my profile)


Other things:

Yay, Cryptsy!. Thats good news, to say the least.

Salsacz: its a frame-up. Any idiot can see that. Investigate further....

Cryptmarketcap...voted! Looks like we are winning by a long way...

Miami:...good job so far, guys.


That is a good idea. Maybe get a NXT custom case made up for RaspPi/Cubie, preload it with 500 NXT and all software.
It would be a superb high-end promo item.

Passwords/hacking/security:
This seems like a very good idea, now that I've had it very slowly explained to me. Any dev feedback on it or on increasing password hash strength? Or another way to protect the people (ie almost everyone) who choose weak passwords?


Thats my input, just like to say thanks for the great work from everyone over the last few days.

Onwards and upwards.....and upgrade to 5.10, please.
