Mark Cuban would not invest in NXT in its current state. I think those funds would be put to better use in development.

The goal behind contacting Mark is to inform him about NXT.  Hopefully once he knows about NXT, he will let others know about NXT.  This is no different than me or you telling our friends about NXT.  Mark just has broader exposure.  The goal is to empower individuals.

I give NXT to my friends all the time.  I'd be willing to give Mark some NXT as a friendly gesture.

If the goal is exposure then by all means, but people talking about sending him 100k+ NXT are being foolish. That's NXT that should be spent on development.

Give Mark a token Nxt account of 500 Nxt so that at least he can start forging and not have to buy from an Exchange....his time is limited..the guy is a billionaire and could cover Nxt whole marketcap if he wanted to.

so give him token wallet with 500 Nxt so that he can at least START FORGING.
Or send him preconfigured solar powered cubie
I think he likes gizmos
He is pretty smart technically, as long as he is told we are in beta he will not expect everything to be perfect
He understands tech development
My guess is he thinks mining is a big waste of resources

Send cool solar powered nxt computer. That will have a lot more impacf than nxt acct, of course send him small amount so he doesnt have to buy it on xchg. But he needs to make acct first

James

solar might be bit difficult but a preconfigured raspi cubie that would be cool....he just has to plug it in then unlock the account....it should be simple....he is still a very busy person and we don't want to frustrate him.

Guys,

Don't worry - the big difference I have seen between Nxt and the others is that:

i) It *doesn't* have VC capital backing.

ii) It *doesn't* have "slick sales guys*.

iii) It *does* have smart devs and an increasing following.

iv) It *is* delivering its promises (more or less) on time.

There will always be "the next* conference - stick to what you're doing well - people are watching this space with interest.


These are good points.  We are a grassroots movement with the aim of empowering people.


Grassroots my ass, Bitcoin is quoted in Forbes and Bloomberg and NXT wants and aspires to be alongside it. How much money have you got in your account, a few million worth or more, grassroots and empowering my ass. You can't be all underground on a forum with a million memembers and an account with a few millions dollars.....stupid.

Honestly though a full explanation and include the info graphic someone made here is all you need, I wouldn't give him a crappy client we are using at the moment or he might see it as not user friendly for the masses to invest or promote.

Our infographics are embarrassingly biased.  I wouldn't trust the credibility or judgement of anyone sending them to me.

Update ClieNXT

version 0.0.2, codename: Phoenix


Redesigned whole GUI, tried to simplify it as best as I could...

I think, we have to consider every human being will use Nxt one day and we need to start implementing reasonable easy and accessible software.
My hope is that very smart people on this forum help each other to build wonderful products...
An interesting article about the topic: http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-needs-accessible-visually-impaired/
Never done this before in any of my small projects, but I think with help you guys, possible we will implement accessibility in our GUIs
 
=========
Changelogs:
=========

* new layout/design (simplified new design)
Easy to adapt for Bitcoin and other altcoin users

* cross platform bug fixes
Support for Linux, Mac OSX, Windows

* simplified Send window
Send NXT and Arbitrary Message from one window (using Unlocked accounts)
1. for sending only message, fill "amount" 0
2. for sending NXT and attach Arbitrary Message by referencing same transaction to it
3. for sending only NXT, uncheck attach message checkbox

* Better account manager (account numbers offline)
Receive window with Unlocked accounts (have access to) and Watchlist accounts (curious about),
save table locally (only account numbers and latest balance)


* simple alias manager
get/assign/create alias

* home/overview window (market price, total available NXT across all owned accounts)
Total balances from all Unlocked accounts in NXT, BTC, USD.
Market price for latest NXT/BTC, NXT/USD (bter, bitstamp)

==============
Current objectives
==============

so give him token wallet with 500 Nxt so that he can at least START FORGING.


EDIT:
prepare a link to NRS client & Solaris client...make an test account holding 500 NXT with a easy passphase you can send to him....let him start playing....make it as easy for him to begin....he doesn't have the time to figure stuff out but let him at least experience NXT.

People here are idiots. Of course its worth sending this guy some NXT with a full description of the project. You only need to send 1000 or less for him to see how it works. That many followers and someone who is reported in financial pages is a damn better seed marketing investment than 99% of the FB crap ideas on here.

Anyway, I have almost no NXT but i'll send 100NXT if that all you need to show him the system just a complimentary amount for him to check the system. Asking him to wade through buying NXT from BTC on some exchange you will proabably already lose him in terms of being a high profile supporter/investor of NXT. People are beyond stingy without any understanding of how the real world works. The guy is actually asking to know about what is being done with NXT, why the hell would you go out of your way to be antisocial. He's just a guy who wants to know about NXT.....

Don't offer Mark Cuban free Nxt, but do offer to answer any questions for him and offer technical assistance if he'd like to purchase some.

Also I think these points should be added to the draft (if true):

Yeah, right. Actually there is a true possibility for advertising straight in the heart of crypto maniacs. Paid ads in one (unnammed Cool ) weekly show. We would need 2,5x more NXT (than you were here speaking about) for 3 months for that.

For a decentralised currency why spunk in ur pants over some interest from him. If he likes he invests like other people if not see above. jesus.

The draft looks okay - but I would not be giving him more than a "token" amount of Nxt (say 1K at the most).

The guy is rich so if he has any real interest he would simply buy on an exchange and then promote it to easily double his money so a token amount should suffice.

Don't be so "desperate" to "look desperate" guys. Grin


My sentiment exactly. Idea is great - choosing wrong amount can backfire badly! consider toads like frictionless - we don't want to deliver such creatures any ammo...

Here's a draft of our letter to Mark.

Mark,

We saw your tweet that you're interested in the NXT generation of cryptocurrencies.  We are the users and developers of a brand new cryptocurrency called "NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin".  NXT uses brand new software.  It’s not a fork of Bitcoin's source code.  NXT is the first 100% Proof-of-Stake (PoS) currency.  Unlike other currencies with PoS mining, NXT's PoS mining does not cause monetary inflation.  Coins are earned solely by charging transaction fees.  The total amount of NXT in circulation is 1 billion.  NXT improves different features of Bitcoin, removes some disadvantages and resolves the environmental issue of wasting electricity to secure the network.

We would like to give you (some) NXT so you can participate in the NXT big thing in cryptocurrency.  It's our hope in by giving you these NXT that you help us spread the word about NXT so others can also participate in this revolution.

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).

Thanks you,

The users and developers of the NXT generation of cryptocurrency.

like the draft.

- Pleas consider my argument about the amount and the strategic aspect. Doens't look good if nxt distractors and enemies can point to 'oh LOOK, they gave the big guy 100k, so they have to bribe him .. not so sure about how good their thing is , or WHAT??'


The community can come to a consensus on the amount we should give Mark.

Another one of Mark's emails is [email protected].

Why don't we use the 10M fund to send him 100k NXT? This is marketing and promotion.
What would be the best info to send along with the 100k?

because that should be used for development

Is that what was decided?

just my opinion

also not just development, we need a code audit and a whitepaper

Honestly - Mark Cuban is Billionaire! Good for him - but trying to bribe him with 100k Nxt from the dev account is so wrong in so many ways. DON'T DO THAT!

It's not a "bribe".  It's advertising.  We're trying to spread the word about NXT, so people can be empowered.
