Hehe, that's true. But I hope noone will accuse that Nxt was created by Belarusian KGB.  

latest news: an exchange in China called bter will add Nxt to their platform

any detailed infor?

I understand you a little better. I think the increased concern for his anonymity (or CfB, etc) is their working knowledge of the software. Maybe I'm too paranoid, but CfB is sitting in Lukashenko's back yard.

So your point is -- these 10 million are the last thing linking BCNext to Nxt. Once the 10 million are distributed, he's free of any responsibility or affiliation. Correct?

you know what we could do with a few millions..
Reward the true Nxters for their work. You don't have to see them here often, because they prefer working on the project instead of chatting....



Btw if anyone missed it, the chapter 2 is little short:

Nxt Myths 2: The unfair distribution of Nxt

I like wesleys's idea much more than the idea of having 10 separate account controlled completely by 10 people. To summarize,  I going to put forward this proposal:

1. BCNext create a completely secure account holding 10 million fund

2. BCNext choose 9 trusted password holders who pledge 1. to never reveal the password or his names; 2. to follow the rules of funding; 3 to act expediently when the his password is required

3. Following wesleyh's proposal  

3 get the first part of the password.
3 get the second part of the password.
3 get the last part of the password.

4. The funding for a new project would follow my concept  of "open bounty" outlined here

Anyone can step up and present his/ her idea, propose a bounty and let the community decides. So we continue the tradition of asking for bounties in a decentralized fashion as we have been already doing in nextcoin and nxtcrypto forums so far. But now funding would be a bit easier to come by since we have common pool in addition to private donors's fund.

This will work easier when we have the voting system in place. A person presents his/ her idea, propose a bounty and action plan, and set up a vote. Community can ask questions in the meantime and when the voting is over, the project will be funded if the vote passes the majority. A democratic and decentralized method of funding projects.

We can even implement this type of "open bounty" even when the voting system is not yet in place. In fact, we actually did it one time already with the case of Maco's android app as the overwhelming majority refused to fund his 500K NXT request for his app. So we actually had a precedent in place already. Let's continue the funding process in this type of decentralized fashion instead of giving one person/ or group the authority of giving out the funds.

5. When a project get funding, a time will be set so that the pass holders can coordinate and send the necessary fund to the project with funding. Make a script that allows input of the password parts and then executes it.

6. A guideline could be as follow (credit nxtberry)

I would also like to see an efficient donation/reward/funding program approx like this:
* 10 NXT donation to new nxters for basic testing
* 100 NXT reward for minor NXT promotion
* 1000 NXT graphics, branding, major promotion etc.
* 10000 NXT minor development, larger graphics work, applets, wide media promotion etc.
* 100000 NXT larger development / significant projects funding, milestone events

That's the proposal to deal with all the funding issue and all the unclaimed coins. Please support this proposal and end this debate in consensus. Please suggest modification as needed.    

There's no reason why he could not change his sourcecode while he is not running (by community/member consensus).

That's great I think. And as more forks as better for Nxt.

If you use start.bat, edit it and add "pause" in the last line. You should see some errors in command window.

well, a real autonomous agent in my definition is an entity able to modify and
enhance itself. you can't do this with classical imperative languages like ethereum is
doing by providing a simple C subset, declaring this as a dsl*.
a real agent is able to change it's own sourcecode[1] and persists it's current state
without the need to store additional endless vars lists to archive this.
the agent i am talking about can search the blockchain for properties he need and than
adding these properties into it's own sourcecode. after usage the agent can hibernate again
within blockchain until his services are needed again. this comes autonomous closer
in my definitions. not perfect but a good start.

*domain specific language

edit: [1] while he is running

By anonymity I meant that he's not revealing himself at all. We're not being beholden to him. These 10M is the only thing he controls. After he gives it he'll be just one of us. You won't be concerned if I disappear, right? ) So don't be concerned about him too.

I can choose 10 people, but:
1. They should be anonymous, so I can't name them )
2. I don't have the passphrase to the account with 10M

Greenpeace never cared about environment, they care about money. How do you think why protesters magically stop to protest?

That being said, we can pay them. In NXT ofc.

I hope u won't create Skynet

Yess this would make NXT more popular in the mining community, but not by greenpeace

If you want him to have a say, what's the problem with him stopping in here and stating it?

Where did I say I have a problem with his anonymity? He can post here all day under his name BCNext, I'm not demanding he post a driver license or anything else. I think it's unwise for anyone in his position, or CfB, etc to reveal themselves. I'm totally cool with anonymity.

I'm not cool with being beholden to someone that doesn't participate here. He's not the Wizard of Oz. Come out from behind the curtain.

I mean this with 100% sincerity -- why don't YOU pick the names? I would trust you before I trust him. Who are your 10 names?

Are we still going to be conjuring BCNext's name a year from now when we need our hand held?

Each will pay 1/10 or 1K NXT.

No. It's just my project for the AM contest.
