You want to make it simple and easy? I repeat myself: Get rid of the "deadline" field and put it in the settings or at least replace it with a "select list" with one standard value.

Otherwise: Keep up the good work!

I've been following Nxt for a little while, although it's hard to keep up with this thread!  This is my first post.

I've seen several questions and efforts at characterizing aspects of the blockchain.  I've been doing some exploratory analysis and have several plots to share.  I've posted what I've done so far here:

http://brosephus.github.io/nxt-explore/

I've learned a lot and hope this might be useful for others.  I'm happy to look into anything that might be of interest to anyone.

Yes you are right, my opinion is, answers are not much relevant.
It is the same if you ask me how old am I and I answer you the wheather outside is really nice ....

What am I suggesting? well, I dont know, I am not creator/developer
I am not critisizing them - It was their decision.
I only wanted to express my opinion, which is, if I ask someone why he suddenly stopped and he answer on different topic, answer is not relevant.    But of course, BNCnext doesnot have duty to answer our qestions.....

Yes I think genesis block could have been generated later, perhaps in December, perhaps on Jan 3rd and source code could be revealed also later in February or so. NXT is definitely based on strong ideas, however during first 2 months it looked like someone just tried to sell coins from genesis block and places like Dgex didnot brought much more seriousness to this.
My opinion is when you are building something what could compete with bitcoin you should not do so obvious "strange " building blocks on which you want to built the whole new project  

another thing crossed my mind: (from http://nxtcoin.blogspot.com/2014/01/nxt-myths-2-very-fair-distribution-of.html )

Q: „Do you think the unequal distribution of bitcoin / big gains of early adopters / will be a deterrent in a more widespread adoption of bitcoins?“
A: „No. Early adopters get bigger gains (as they should) because they take on bigger risk. A bitcoin can be divided into 100 million pieces, so I don't see divisibility or distribution as a problem.“
Cameron Winklevoss

Winklevoss is just a *********
I respect people who are clever or has achieved something like salsacz, Come from beyond or BCnext (but it doesnot mean that I agree completely with them) or many other....
I think cryptocoins should serve better to people and if someone is hoarding the money its sad.
If winklevoss twins loose 99% of their bircoins they even dont recognize it and still can live comfortable life. But if someone poor in China or elsewhere gets just a fraction of bitcoin it could change their lives.
Should not we try to invent better distribution of coins? and not just saying that distribution of NXT is 10x better than BTC and thus we are proud of it?

People should bear in mind that it is forbidden to take anything with them to grave. What they would do with all that money after they die??? I cannot understand them.

I've made a few other edits to my draft letter. If you decide to use it, please copy from my original (updated) post.

There are so many posts here, I didnot have time to read them until now...., thank you salsacz for detailed introduction to NXT http://nxtcoin.blogspot.cz/2014/01/nxtmyths-1-nxt-is-not-scam-it-wasnt.html

I am not saying anything about fairness. it is only a psychological label but if you use common sense, do you think questions were answered appropriately?

Q:  Why was the initial funding cancelled suddenly with few people?
A:  I wanted Nxt to be launched by the community, not by a single person.  Success of Nxt is supposed to be achieved by work of a LOT of PEOPLE.
we asked why he cancelled it suddenly, and even if we could get anything meaningless we only got what we already knew. sorry this question was not answered. He could make a cap of 0.1 btc for investors and IPO could lasted longer. or many other things.
The thing is, and I know you dont like to hear it, it looked like someone just decided to let half or more of coins for himself and pretend there were some 73 "investors"


another question&answer:
Q:  How would you solve problem with scam accusations according to "unfair" distribution Nxt to 73 big stakeholders?
A:  This problem can not be solved.  Even if we had a million stakeholders the rest seven billion people would call this unfair.  A world with the money can not be perfect.
this is not right, there are many possible solutions already proven eg. in IPO of existing real companies - eg. reveal your identity etc - I work in a bank at credit risk and I can tell you for sure/guarantee that if you dont watch and track people every single moment while working with valuables/money the people will steal money (sometimes all the money) (doesnot matter when and where, people are and were same in US or Asia or Europe).
So even I know that you perhaps delete my post and ban IP, I am sure that there were not definitely 73 different people, maybe 10 or 15 and I assume that one of them was the founder your "holy"  BCnext.
Again I am not saying its good or bad I am only saying it but thats how the things are, like it or not. Just use your common sense you dont have to be oracle ...

isnt the best way to contact this kind of persons with linkedin ? buy the premium and then you can write him directly a message

One edit. I think the letter should start "Dear Mr. Cuban," instead of simply "Mark", which might be too familiar. I've edited my original post

Np! I'm happy to help with any kind of writing/promotional material as long as I have the time!

Someone here who could send me 6 or 10 NXT for tests?

9766724040954748493

This is much better.  Thanks bithic.

I agree. We should wait for a well-tested full-featured client before contacting him.

Nxt doesn't even have mature client software (correct me if I am wrong). Don't present a half finished product to a big guy like Mark.

Please correct/suggest if anything I said is inaccurate.

Also, I noticed that the first draft always had two spaces after a period. That convention is old, one space is the standard now.

I wasn't so sold on the first draft of the letter to Mark Cuban. Here is an alternative:


Dear Mr. Cuban,

You tweeted in November that you want to invest in the next generation of cryptocurencies. We are the users and developers of a brand new cryptocurrency called "Nxt:: descendant of Bitcoin", and we think you should know about it. Nxt uses brand new software. It isn't a fork of Bitcoin's source code. Nxt is the first 100% Proof-of-Stake (PoS) currency. This, together with some game-changing innovations built on top of it, gives it some major advantages, including:

- lightweight, highly scalable network, capable of eventually handling transaction volumes comparable to credit card networks
- planned support for near-instant, secure transactions, thanks to its "Transparent Forging"
- no risk of 51% attack
- the environmental issue of wasted electricity required to secure the network (and high mining expenses) is entirely resolved

Nxt is also leading the charge with many of the more commonly talked-about 2nd generation features, such as a decentralized asset exchange, "aliases", coloured coins, and more. Unlike other currencies with PoS mining, Nxt's PoS implementation does not cause monetary inflation. Coins are earned solely by charging transaction fees, and, due to the energy-efficient nature of the network, these transaction fees can be sustainably kept to a minimum. The total amount of NXT in circulation is 1 billion. Nxt improves different features of Bitcoin, removes some disadvantages and adds new features, some of which would be very difficult to implement on the Bitcoin network without a major re-write. For these reasons, along with our head-start in the "Nxt Generation" race, we think Nxt will distinguish itself in the coming months, and will eventually compete with Bitcoin itself.

We would like to give you a token 1000 NXT so you can participate in the Nxt big thing in cryptocurrency. We believe that if you are confident in the Nxt endeavor, others will follow your lead, thus furthering our goal of widespread adoption. Nxt is entirely community driven, is not backed by venture capital, and will always be decentralized in operation. Development is progressing very rapidly, thanks to its team of talented developers and fast-growing community.

You can read more about Nxt at NxtCrypto.org, wiki.NxtCrypto.org and forums.NxtCrypto.org.

You can download Nxt's software here (Link to NRS).

If you have questions please contact us at (contact).

Thank you,

The users and developers of the Nxt generation of cryptocurrency

I like the idea of sending peconfigered promo-raspberrys to people
Its way better than just throwing money at somebody yelling "RESPECT ME!!!1"

I got the same error twice today...fix it pls.

with a easy passphase with instructions to make a new account and transfer the 500 nxt to his new account with 30+ characters that would be a fun exercise for him and wouldn't take more then 20 minutes...i'm sure he would enjoy the hands on experience also.

We are a grassroots movement.  I believe technology should empower people and that anyone should be able to participate regardless of their socio-economic status.

I think the term for this guy would be 'multiplicator'. Getting him on board may have great benefit, only the way how to do this is delicate.

A completely configured cubie with 500nxt would seem a very good idea to me.
