Usually it is a good thing to have a new member or competitor in the area, which is new for customers. That increases the total volume of the area and also the customers will have more alternatives. That "concept" is from more common products like cars, consumer electronics, ... why couldn't that work with currencies, too.

In general people dislike whatever they don't understand and haven't taken the time to investigate.
Tiring, but true.

I give it a few months and then a lot of people who now are against it will pretend to have loved it all along.

yes, one just must have patience. The same happens with actors or artists: when they just continue their career, doing the things, which they see important, then finally the "customers" accept them.

Can anyone techy look at this?
There is someone who says 0.5.10 doesn't work well on Win 8: https://nextcoin.org/index.php/topic,3525.0.html

Might be a problem if it's true.

That sounds like a swear from a '50s television show.

Greater Impact maybe could result of what user graviton asks in the same thread over there:

"Will all pre-0.5.10 clients necessarily fork? DGEX is using an earlier version because 0.5.9 does not work stable for us."

Please go to http://www.cryptmarketcap.com/ and vote for NXT to be listed there in the top right corner.
There is a concerted effort to keep NXT from being listed but we can out vote them.
If NXT is listed on that site and their android application, it will bring more recognition to NXT.

http://www.cryptmarketcap.com/

The concerted effort only gave them 10 extra votes in the last 30 minutes.
We got about 80 more in that time.

I'd say that's fairly effective Smiley

Let me understand this....
The guy who created this thing started with 1 billion coins.
Let's assume that he shared that 1 billion coins with 99 other people

He made a public announcement that lasted for weeks where anybody could invest up to 1 Bitcoin to receive a proportional share of the 1 billion coins generated.  73 people did so.  You or I could have done so had we known about it.  As he said himself, he could have gotten a million people in the initial distribution and the other 7 billion people on Earth would claim foul.  

NXT has its challenges to overcome but shame over the initial distribution of currency is not one of them.

Hey CfB,  are we at a point where still more public vpss are useful?  Some donors are wondering if we should be good with what we have

I don't think it would be too pressing to get more at this time.

Both my nodes are in the Top20 of weight as long as they are active, and barely have anything to do most of the time. I see 10% maximum baseline link saturation, with rare short peaks above that.

Ah, I see.
In my app messages are sent to the app Nxt ID. But if messages are sent between user Nxt IDs then, yes, we have a problem.

Well, in the spirit of simplicity we could agree that the first 4 bytes is a unique tag for each protocol/application.

Not sure how well such gentlemen agreement would be honored, though.

Isn't the case more like so that all cryptocurrencies are on the same side and USD, euros, pounds, etc. are on the other side?

The Nxt ID can be this UID, right?
But I agree, we need some sort of standard (or a recommendation, at least).

Your app uses a particular address as I understand, to create this "mini-google", right?

But what if there are several apps that use user accounts? Encrypted messages, plain messages, reputation system, receipts, what not.

EDIT:
And even with your app you already have a problem of type and need to create those tags.

Miners cannot mine NXT. Their investment in asic miner and GPU cards are useless with POS systems. Asic miners cannot mine NXT so they become hate generators. Very understandable here because for some mining and mining industry is where their professional jobs are.


mining industry ...  yes, if someone is just trying to get his bread from mining, then he may think so. If he has already done his fortune with BTC or others, then he might try also other things instead of hating.

Yes, it is understandable - though not acceptable ... to vote No  Smiley

Question about transaction costs...

Is this going to be a problem in the future, is it always set at 1 NXT per transfer.

If the value of 1 NXT ever reaches.. let's say $8 USD.. wouldn't that be too much for a transaction cost?


It will be lowered once Nxt rises more.
This is already planned Smiley

The community will decide what it considers a good amount for costs.

Thanks!  That's great to hear..

Is there any more specifics of how it gets lowered?  Does this mean a new binary is released that has lowered transaction costs.. or is somehow the network able to adjust itself?

Hm, still quite a lot of nodes that haven't upgraded to 0.5.10.
I even spot a 0.4.9e. :/
