Thank u. Keep us updated, plz.

From Ittay just now:

I'm afraid I won't be able to do the code review for you. I would have to learn the details of the elliptic curve algorithm you're using, and I won't have enough time for that in the near future. I'll try and send you a name of someone who'd be perfect for the job (if he's interested, I'm waiting for his response).

Nevertheless, I thank you for the offer, and I would be glad to advise on the distributed aspects of your protocol, if you are interested at some point. Looking forward to seeing a white paper with the details of your architecture. I'm very glad to see novel cryptocurrency with actual innovation over Bitcoin.

Best,
Ittay

Well, hopefully his guy will work out. At the very least, we've most likely got the academics and professional community talking about NXT now. will let you all know if this other guy he is referring will work out

he wouldn't have to review the elliptic curve algo.. all he would have to do is copy the algo from the nxt source code, hash that code, copy the algo from the original source, hash that code and then compare the hashes. That code has been reviewed by cryptographers already, no need to do that all over again.

I am selling five untouched keys for Battlefield 4 (PC). Each key 1250 NXT.

First sold. Four left.

Is this the first videogame sold for NXT? Historic moment?

James

maybe it is !!!

maybe its strategic Marketing ;-)
(suggest a closing opportunity which triggers requirement)

Yes, this is a historic moment. Be part of it and get your key!

I really think about it!
Would be a symbolic moment I could tell my grandchild's...

Voting is for getting a range of opinions. The result is a suggestion, what COULD be done. Not what will be done no matter what...

Has there been a vote or poll which yielded a consensus and was not acted upon?

Also, who owns these kind of addresses and how: 100000?

no one owns that. i guess who ever did that put it there for the miners some day. idk why they would though. thats a lot of nxt.

Why does nobody own it? Somebody had to create it?

Apparently who made that transaction to account "100000" is 12968364353024827435 which seems to be "Aysyr": https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/aysyr-86187

right but no one made a transaction out of the account. its highly unlikely that who ever did that has the private key to it. Perhaps it was done by someone who realized that he has to distribute some of his nxt for the health of the network and so is doing it in such a way where everyone knows that the nxt has been genuinely given away by the original large stake holder and not traded back to a sock puppet account. Another advantage to doing it this way is that it will not drive the price down.

In my experience, whenever there is a crowded market, marketing and advertising is required to achieve top positions. How many alternatives are there to NXT? I am talking about from a non-technical end user's standpoint. As far as they are concerned, NXT is one of 100+ altcoins. With the strong bias against proof of stake coins, do you really think that NXT will achieve its full potential without marketing or advertising?

If Nxt can't be successful without paid marketing and advertising, then it can't be successful.

Quote

Please name me a single product in a crowded market that rose above all the others without marketing and sales.
Ripple is getting placements in top rated TV shows. Apple got placements in dozens of movies. I am not talking about any "shove", just a way to get on thousands of websites and getting value for money spent.

You're using the wrong model to look at this. Nxt isn't a product or a service. The Ripple example you brought up is perfect. What has the TV spot done for them:

Quote

What is wrong about speeding that up? The first proof of stake coin that gets to 100,000 users and 10,000 websites will benefit from the network effect and nothing else would ever be able to catch up.

Nothing is wrong with that and nothing is wrong with online advertising, but it won't be effective in this case.

Specifically, what type of advertising and marketing are you planning?

I think in the time being you should organize the marketing committee...maybe it could be a separate branch in your Foundation model.

ALL FORMS OF HUMAN SOCIAL ORGANIZATION HAVE WEAKNESSES....even decentralization.

Since we are getting ~200 new accounts per day down from ~500 accounts per day, NXT is clearly in a crowded and competitive market. That being said, advertising works. With the right type of pay for performance advertising to supplement PR campaign, I can see us getting 2,000+ new accts every day.

That would be 2 months to 100,000 users and over 500,000 users by year end.

We do need to wait until NXT clients are solid before such a big push, but as soon as it is, I would like to be able to push the big red launch advertising button and boost NXT converts tenfold. Is this wrong of me? Somehow impure? Sorry, just trying to ensure NXT success.

NXT is competing with all other forms of crypto and even fiats to some extent. That is definitely a very crowded market. We need marketing AND advertising. Not TV advertising, just website affiliate program
