Topic: NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information - page 1612. (Read 2761645 times)

Please try to understand what I am saying. I saw someone overnight who said they were interested in investing in NXT. OK so he turned out to be a troll, but this is a very real possibility.


Somebody hears about NXT somehow, decides to investigate, finds this easy to follow thread, invests a few minutes reading all the pages (or goes to a forum that is being Ddos'ed) and then decides to purchase NXT using our fabulously user friendly way of buying NXT.


I AM TALKING ABOUT CREATING A PATH FOR POTENTIAL NEW NXT STAKEHOLDERS THAT IS A USER FRIENDLY WEBPAGE, instead of what any new NXT'er has to go through now.

This will work. We already have 90%+ of people who bail out somewhere along the way from finding out about NXT to finding out how confusing it is to find out about NXT.

P.S. My understanding was that NXT was already awesome (as soon as new clients with Asset Exchange are out)

Why do not you add me?

Ask the committee

And then what? So I am a new guy, I bought some NXT, what can I actually do with them now?

Mostly watch the price ticker and hope it goes up. And it will, thanks to your efforts to bring in new folks.

It's as clear a Ponzi scheme as it gets.

We need to build something first, then motivate people to join and use it.

Is this the guy who has the original?

I heard back from Steve Weis, he doesn't have the free time to review, but he is talking to several colleagues about the review.  I've sent him all the info pertaining to crypto aglo.

I must not be communicating clearly.
Where do I suggest that we trick people? Where do I suggest we sell "shares"

I am suggesting we make a page oriented toward getting someone on the fence about NXT to taking the $25 (or more) plunge to purchase actual NXT. I am not talking about tricking, but using the truth about NXT to get someone to buy actual NXT.

I did not suggest 7 million NXT for advertising and advertising shouldn't be all of a marketing budget, but it needs to be some part of the marketing budget. 3 million NXT for advertising sounds about right.

The marketing and PR gets people interested and curious, but  why not have an advertising page that converts 10% of the interested people to actual purchase NXT and get invested, instead of the current conversion rate, which I estimate to be less than 1%.

I am talking about increasing tenfold the number of people that we are getting interested in NXT actually becoming a stakeholder.

No tricks. No shares, actual NXT, actual stakeholders.

We are working so hard on the tech and getting PR, but there is no streamlined path to convert the interested person.

It is like optimizing software. Why not spend a little effort and make it go ten times faster? Why not spend some resources on converting 10 times more people from the same stream of interested people and of course add to that stream of interested people. 3 million NXT compared to whatever amount we have already spent on dev is a pretty small percentage.

Oh well.  I did thank him for his time. after I got this

It's a bad thing only because it won't work.

I keep hammering on this, but it's the truth.  Nxt isn't a product or service so you can't put it in that category.  It's a currency/ecosystem/protocol/whoknowswhat.  Paid advertising/marketing works really well with products and services.  You serve ad impressions to potential customers, a certain percentage click through to your landing page, a certain percentage of those convert and pay up.  It's lovely.  But it won't work like that with Nxt because it isn't a product or service.

Can you really imagine someone seeing a few Nxt ad impressions, clicking through to the landing page, reading a little, and entering their credit card info in exchange for some Nxt?  C'mon.  That will not happen.

It has to grow the same way Linux did.  The same way Bittorrent did.  The same way Bitcoin and Litecoin did.  First we need to build something awesome and then we can use clever tactics to get the word out.  Mass-marketing through paid advertising will not work.

@spud3861: Actually this is a false positive. You forged two blocks on your account, so you do have a public key in the blockchain for this account.

I'll need to take a look at my code...

Second key sold in real life. Three keys left.

If u see this error having 22K then it means with 99% chance that ur blockchain is not up to date.

So what does "error generating block" means? As I understand, everybody having NXT in account 1440 confirmations old, has a chance, depending on NXT quantity, to forge a block. If server is running and everything OK, block should be forged. Am I right? So what prevents to forge a block? Sorry for dumb questions, but I, as ordinary Joe, want to understand the problem. I want to be sure, that my PC is OK and that is just the algorithm matter.

Let's the discussion going on. We have a long journey head 

How do I send a message from my account?

this mirrors my thoughts about that topic.  

Marketing and Ads are very important.
But I'm not sure if its the right way for nxt (its not an company with defined process structures) to define a budget first and than define what to do with it.
This only leads to consumption without prove content.


I like the idea to define a team of responsible members.
And I know this competent guys come up with very good ideas!
All others should contribute to an open discussion and include ideas.
This will lead to success automatically!
