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?

Is anyone actively trying to contact Mark Cuban in regards to his tweet that he is interested in investing in the "Nxt Generation of Cryptocurrencies"?

Giving him some NXT would help us inform the masses about NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin.

ill do it if no one else wants to

I'll help you come up with what to say.  If we could collect 100,000 NXT to give him that would be great.

What do you think would be the best way to contact him?

Is this guy really a big shot? how many twitter followers does he have? if the cause is right i could perhaps dedicate 100k from my promotion fund.

yeah. It would do wonders for NXT if we got Cuban interested and backing it. The guy definitely seems to be coming around to the idea of crypto-currency.

for those that didn't see someone posted earlier...

I was reading this Thread for a long Time now and considering it is about that time to join the conversation.

Maybe i got some News for you to have a look:

Bitcoins tries to copy NXT Features - New Features are announced for Bitcoin have a look: http://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/2014/01/24/4-new-bitcoin-features-revealed-mike-hearn/

Especially the "Attachements" aka Messages, and the "Privacy Buying" aka aliases seems so familiar let me take a guess where did i heared that before?

What you Guys think? In my Opinion THIS is just a compliment how good NXT ideas are and we are definitely going big soon, but we need to work hard all together for it! And maybe hurry up a little bit  compare to all other competition scam coins Wink

I already posted this on another Forum, What you guys think? Is this good or bad news?


It's definitely good news. Anything that makes Bitcoin price higher is for good.

Little has been talked about the reason why BCNext went with 64 bit. When Nxt is accidentally sent to a random account # and is unrecoverable, its referred to as darkNxt.  This darkNxt has no use to anyone, and sits in an account that is inaccessible.  BCNext wanted to make it possible for powerful computers to be able to mine darkNxt in the future, so it was not lost forever, as all regular Nxt will be protected by 256bit private key accounts.
A horrible solution worse than a hypothetical non existing problem. Great.

The proper way would be to wait for the address to claim its first transaction, for a year or something like that...
maybe some nxt clone will fix all these little quirks

The problem I see with having to confirm the first transaction is that an attacker can simply spam the network an infinite amount of times because A) These transactions are not being accepted and B) and these unconfirmed transactions will just sit in queue until they expire, which can be short as a minute. He doesn't lose any NXT if he doesn't confirm on the other end, and all the money comes back to his spam account, ready to spam again.

IMO, this is not that big of a deal people are making it out to be. Unless there is a large amount of darkNXT, people are not going to spend resources trying to crack 64bit addresses. Also, anyone with any significant amount should know to send a single transaction out to secure 256bit protection.

EDIT: And what joefox said.

This guy obviously isn't impressed with NXT.

In Depth Analysis of NXT  -  http://cryptolife.net/in-depth-analysis-nxt/

Regarding NXT addressing. "If you were to generate an offline address and send coins to that address, you do not have explicit ownership of that address. Someone could come along with a passphrase that has a collision with yours, announce his public key to the network, and then have explicit ownership over your coins. This means that to claim ownership over an address, you are forced to expose your public key to the network. As mentioned before, doing this decreases the overall security of that address. You just can’t win. NXT is inherently less secure that Bitcoin. It is a total step backwards in that department. Also worth mentioning is that Bitcoin addresses have a 4 byte checksum that prevents you from sending to an invalid or incorrect address. NXT addresses do not."

Does anyone have an answer for this?



The short, glib answer is that it's an open problem for the community to solve, and not in any way a showstopper.

Another easy answer is the new address format initiative, being worked on by NxtChg and others.  It includes error checking, and as a side benefit it also generates very QR-code-friendly addresses.  I think a link was already posted, but see: http://wiki.nxtcrypto.org/wiki/New_Address_Format

Yet another response is that a bounty has been created (100K Nxt, I believe) for the implementation of a very fast client-side Javascript library for offline signing.  Once this is finished (I believe CfB is reviewing FOUR submissions, created by the community, this weekend) you will be able to generate transactions without transmission of your keys.  At that point a client can very easily build in an automated one-time transaction, during account creation, that secures your account with a 256-bit key.

A final nail-in-the-coffin response is that BCNext has demonstrated through his actions, on countless occasions, that his "stub" idea for Nxt has many, many PURPOSEFUL "open ends" that the community is able to solve through its collective power.  Evidence of this (and only one example of many) can be seen in the genius stroke of creating bounties for injected flaws in the source code: it has driven an excellent debugging effort, has led to the creation of a team of developers who have almost completely cleaned up and refactored the source in a matter of weeks, and has created a small community of coders whose deep understanding of the source code has driven the creation of novel client applications on multiple platforms, TWO block explorers, FIVE online exchanges, and advanced applications like a Twitter-type public message system, games, faucets, decentralized torrent seed storage, and a PoW currency built on top of a PoS blockchain.  

All this in eight weeks since the genesis block.

So: any other questions?

*EDIT*  I just read the rest of that fella's post and realized I only scratched the surface of his "in-depth analysis".  I welcome the debate, because criticism is healthy, but his accusations of Nxt being vulnerable to Sybil and DDOS attacks show his knowledge is quite shallow.  Some of his accusations are fair (distribution will always be an issue, but it's a tired old argument in the face of data like this, which shows Bitcoin faces the *same* issue) but on the whole, it's just ignorant.  And I'm not using that word in a "mean" way -- he just isn't as "in-depth" as he claims.
