Bitcoin network hash rate is at 16,500,000 GH/s. Split it up on countries (USA, Canada, Germany, Russia, China,...). After you know how much GH/s each country has, check out how much a kW/h costs in this countries. Now calculate how much watt (W) you need for this GH/s and check the prices for each kW/h in each country.

Yes, mining is really 2000 and late. Forging FTW! It's unbelievable how much electricity we burn at this time for generating coins. I hope this will end as soon as possible.

+ lots.

On the marketing side, we do need to play on how efficient and eco-friendly NXT is, in comparison to certain other cryptos that seem to want to eat all the electricity.

I have an idea for both PR, the unclaimed coins and being green :

Figure out how much energy the NXT network uses, then set up a carbon-offset project using some of the unclaimed coins.
NXT becomes the worlds first carbon-neutral, tree loving, planet-saving crypto.

If any one has the time to pick this up and run with it, feel free.

its not just some nebulous environmental cost either. that cost is baked into the coin in either the form of inflation or unnecessarily high transaction fees.

6 months down the line from now, general advertising may bring us big gains, but if we go all-out now, we will just get a lot of pissed-off people who can't get the tech to work reliably and they will probably not be telling all their friends to go out and buy some NXT.


nobody says to go up now.. 6 months is a good time to get prepared

BUT - Bitcoin is famous because it was first. So if there will be any other PoS / fork with huge marketing asset, they will be the first because of the media attention

Salsacz, dont get me wrong, mate, I think u (and the rest of the PR guys) are doing a brilliant job. Keep on going...
But I don't want us to do a DeLorean and bring something brilliant, but not exactly finished, into the spotlight.
If NXT (or any competitor) goes large too soon and things go wrong because the tech is not quite ready, there will not be a second chance to get it right.

NXT is in a good position right now, and I think that one of the few ways it can go badly wrong is if we try to force it to grow too quickly.

Yes, I agree, let's wait on marketing until we have a solid client and feature set.  At that point, you may find that we don't even need to market Nxt.  I think we need to offer more significant bounties in development for the immediate future.

+1

I'm glad we are starting to see a consensus on this point. Like someone said earlier. Lets please not be remembered as the delorian of cryptos.
