The more de-centralized this gets, the more coordination is paramount.

Decentralization in theory is not equal to decentralization in practice. Projects need leadership and direction.

see the marketing thread OP in my signature
I will explain this all in my Nxtmyths paper (with sources) and video

I wish to thank the community for the trust in me.

Unfortunately I am not a marketing guy, I am more a hands on people/project manager 

But I would like to present Damelon for this job, he/she is a professional in marketing.

I am sure he/she will do much better in marketing stuff than I am.

What I don't get is people want all these things and no one seems to put effort into making these things happen. We need an easy client, ok sure, fine, someone program one, if you don't program, reach out to people who do. Find the people who are already working on native clients and offer to beta test. The API is well documented on the wiki. Parse through this thread and the others and fine people who are working on things or have won bounties. Create a wiki page for it. Create a thread here for it, post it in your signature, whatever.

The whitepaper needs help sure, but I count only 10 of us working on it Add, contribute, research, learn!

Edit: We are less than two months into this project. The initial funding BCNext asked for start in October, it's only been 4 months! since then. This stuff takes time, we are charting new territory here.

You click to that little tab at the top of the page that says My Messages, you click on the tab that says New Message, and where it says "To:", you type in "JeanLucPicard"...

I see it as exactly that.


Successfully applying the proposed social concept to the development of innovative software would indeed be brand new.

And an exceptionally smart and committed community.  We will figure this out.  I will continue working on whitepaper as best I can.  Ricot's NXTXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX address scheme will get implemented.  Everybody will add their ingredient to this NXT "stone soup" and it will go to the moon.

But making sausage can sure be such a mess...

+1 I do not believe in crowd decision making, first thing that comes to mind is 1917.

Yes!


And I'm afraid there won't be any of the above without this.  Cfb and BCNxt have refused.  How can we contact JeanLuc?  For me, everything hinges on this.

Pessimist......

The tech is not a paradigm breaking leap into the unknown. As i see it, NXTs strength lies in the refinement and unification of existing tech
into one over-arching eco-system.

The social organisation side is, again, nothing new.....u ever tried to get a bunch of anarchists organised ? I have....  


No gods, no kings, just NXT


Hello, Dutch guy....

The Dutch Guy was at a sales meeting in Germany for two days and is at this moment collecting all data from over 80 pages 

I'll post a summary in an hour or so

Hang in there!

This was profetic }

Could not say it better. Especially the middle part.

I have 300k, Mining Ratio 0.0334 % »
Theoretical [235.8413 NXT]   
Actual Blocks Generated:   15   
Actual Fee Earned   :   21 NXT
Over the past 30 days, with blocks forging at least 90% of the time

+10000000

+10,000.  I would add JeanLuc to this list.  I see us going on for pages about voting.  I see us going on for pages about aliases.  I see us go on for pages about selling NXT for BTC outside Dgex, then CfB saying no more NXT will be sold below 0.001 BTC because Wall Street is coming to look at peer-to-peer exchange.  

We don't need features yet, we need plain vanilla user-friendly functionality to hold and transfer coins.  We need a one-click client that Joe Sixpack can install and use.  We need a dead simple API that other exchanges like Cryptsy can easily plug into and get us in the ability to trade with ease.  We need a whitepaper that focuses with laserlike intensity on NXT's (1) PoS forging, (2) mini-blockchain (c) 1 minute transaction time and (d) 10,000+ transaction per second capability promoted as MAJOR SOLUTIONS to the looming disasters that are about to befall Bitcoin over their ludicrous PoW mining arms race, bloated 16GB blockchain, sluggish 10 minute transaction time and maximum 7 transaction per second limit.  And we need a stated deadline for when full open source code will be released.

I vote for centralized leadership and vision and effort to get us to that launch point.  A flurry of decentralized service providers working on open source code will take us to the moon from there.

And on top of all that, that Dutch guy stopped posting daily summaries of this thread.  So now I'm ever farther behind.

I could see it as being a nice feature to gauge the communities feeling about something but i dont think the voting its self should effect anything other than conveying information to interested parties. it could just be like a type of polling.

This is so vague....what does "decentralization and community involvement" mean to you?

Apparently, it means voting on Nxt-related things.

So how many people need to vote to satisfy your criterion of "community involvement?"

Would 20% of NXTholders be enough? 50%? What if voter participation was almost completely from the top 10 percentile of Nxt holders, and the people holding a couple thousand NXT just sat out the election?

I think part of the problem we're having with voting is that info about this project is scattered over 3 forums (here, nextcoin.org and nxtcrypto.org) and there is no organization.

As I said in a previous post, I've been following this with some effort for about 10 days now, and I still am ignorant of a lot of important things.

• Who is Jean-Luc and what does he do?
• Is BCNext still involved in programming and development.
• What do Utopian Future, Klee, Anon, 2Kewl4School and other prolific posters do? Do they program stuff? Write articles?
• Where do you go to get reliable technical answers about the protocol?
• How many developers are there currently working on the full source code? Who are they?

Information is too fragmented, or scattered through this 900-page thread. I got interested in NXT in late December, and there's really no way to get caught up on the status of the project.

Yes I have read the wiki, white paper, and I hang out in #nxtalk, but I am still uninformed.

And you want me to vote.

I would vote and participate but really, there is no way to get caught up on the project for someone coming on board now and that hasn't been here since the beginning.
