Topic: NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information - page 1417. (Read 2761645 times)

either way, it needs to be planned and prepped for, not just throw a guy on stage and letter' rip

I disagree.  Having someone there who understands the history, current main features along, and differences between the other coins would be helpful.  Just don't hype the future plans too much as who knows if they will turn out to be vaporware or not at this stage.  A little mystery about Nxt isn't bad, it's intriguing.

It's unfortunate that there's no one in Nxt right now up for the challenge of appearing in Miami.

I agree though, that to be absent is better than to be present and keep repeating "I don't know. I don't know."

Let's Talk Bitcoin is hugely influential though, and this is a critical time when several 2nd gen crypto implementations are just coming on line. It will be a shame to have to pass on this opportunity.

I'd just like to say to anyone that could potentially fill this role...I have been listening to Let's Talk Bitcoin for a long time and I've never really heard them ask hard questions of their guests.

Even more questionable people like BFL Josh and the Mastercoin Willet guy get coddled...so if you're on the fence about going, you should probably do it and count on softball questions.

I agree. Only C-f-B or BCNext could do this. NXT would come off badly in a beauty competition right now. Mastercoin, Ethereum and Bitshares would make NXT look badly organised, which would be unfair.

Publicity is always good, but dangerous when your rival is standing next to you with a coherent message & a credible messenger. NXT has neither.

Please have a read, and contribute ideas to this. Thanks

Ok, any of you guys willing to take a break and step into the limelight?



I think you guys (Anon and JoeFox) are too hard on yourselves. You've demonstrated a keen understanding of the key features and vision behind Nxt. Certainly more than enough to satisfy 99% of the viewers. If someone asks a question you don't feel qualified to answer I don't think it would be damaging to admit your limitations and direct them to where they can find the answer.

I'd say BECAUSE of the undefined qualities of NXT, the things that CfB hints about but are not yet reveled, That any one outside of the Dev Team is going to get themselves in more trouble than its worth on stage at a Q&A like this, and will only let the FUD spread.

People like answers to questions before they spend their money. better to not be involved than to be on stage saying "i dunno, i dunno"

I am technical and articulate and have been slowly sifting through source code to understand things better, BUT I don't feel like I could field questions from cryptographers or software engineers without imploding.  I can talk about Nxt, and some of the challenges it faces, but the CfB-BCNext filter is a little too opaque to be useful for understanding the deep fundamentals (after only two months of this stuff, the exhaustion is overwhelming: "the source code is the whitepaper!", "community must decide", "Enigma!", "Tease!", "u are incorrect check thread for answers plz", "wait for third part of plan", "many riddles in the source if you look", etc.)

I'd say some nice things about Nxt, and then one guy would raise his hand and ask "can you explain the rationale behind basing a cryptocurrency on a mix of Curve25519, EC-KCDSA, and SHA-256 when no papers exist that assess the semantic security of that particular Diffie-Hellman key exchange algorithm, and it is has only traditionally been favoured for its calculation speeds?", and I would suddenly smell toast and collapse into an apoplectic heap, muttering "just ask Beyonce it all comes from Beyonce" and weeping.  THEN watch the price.

It's a real Catch-22.  Getting a chance to take part in a panel that would be included in the (always awesome and SO VALUABLE) Let's Talk Bitcoin podcast is *exquisite*, but the person to talk about the advent and future of metacoins is currently living in Belarus and busy until April.

MY VOTE would be for someone like wesley, ferment, opticalcarrier, rickyjames or ricot.

nonononono no way. you would not want to put me on a stage in front of people. i would singlehandedly bring the price down to 0.00001 by the time I was done.

Are any of you technical and articulate folks able to make it for Friday if funds are not an issue? This is such a huge opportunity, and I would love to see someone like Anon or JoeFox there. I bet we can pull together some funds to get one of you there if you're able to clear your schedule. I would gladly chip in a couple hundred $-worth of Nxt, and I think others definitely would as well.

I'm working on my marketing project, will present for funding request soon

From the angle I've been involved with, seems to be going well. We've gathered dozens of address of writers at gawker, bloomberg, forbes, etc who've written about Bitcoin in the past. Justabit has already started a campaign of sorts with these folks. EDIT: campaign is probably much too strong of a word, 'introductory email' is probably a better phrase.

Also, a pretty cool tangent: Bitcoin at Burning Man

Does other people has also trouble with the client? Its slow and cant login...

wrong topic

BTW: how is marketing doing?

are we ready to drop the bomb when the client is ready.

wait a little longer and THEY will beg to pay 20 BTC, asking to review it.

Looking really good!

someone is probably better than no one and its almost thursday already. spread this around to everyone you can and lets just see if we can get ANYONE there by friday.

I understand. That's why I only say that it's possible. Like it's also possible that BTC will cost $20'000. Unlikely but possible. For example there is no chance for QRK or ZET to reach $1. But there is such chance for Nxt. It's unique and might become the second most popular currency after Btc within a year or two. It also may not happen.

For example I sold all Qrk and Zet and bought Nxt. My brother and my friend followed my advice, sold all other currencies and got into Nxt. A bit late but still had a nice profit. So money flows from other currencies to Nxt.
