I know there are a lot of people following this thread who would like to contribute, but with it being so technical, not sure of how they can.

I have an idea that will let pretty much anybody contribute to NXT, but it will require someone to manage a bug tracking system. Not sure what the best bug tracking system is nowadays, but if anybody is familiar enough with it to set one up, that would be fantastic.

This way, people can report API bugs, usability bugs and everything in between.

Me and CfB already use Jira to track issues in our private repository on Bitbucket. It will be most convenient for me to have all bugs related to the nxt-client package there, where the code is, not to have to go to other websites.

I enabled Jira for our public repository too: https://bitbucket.org/JeanLucPicard/nxt-public/issues and suggest that we start entering bugs and feature requests (such as API requests) there. I allowed anonymous issue submission for now, if spam becomes a problem I will change it to require Bitbucket login.

I never we realized we had a bug tracker!

Pin, maybe you can put a link to it in your sig? How do we get the URL out to people? A bugtracker nobody knows about is a bug!

Whoa!

I have no idea how to use this. Is it any good? Why do we need to pay monthly? I have a bunch of dedicated servers, if there is an open source bug tracker, then someone can install it on one of my servers.

We need open source bug tracker without pesky fees.

a nice article:
A New Wave of 2nd Generation Cryptocurrencies: NXT, eMunie, SkyCoin, EarthCoin
http://alunacrypto.blogspot.cz/2013/12/a-new-wave-of-2nd-generation.html

Found some distressing news about emunie developer https://ripple.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=5399

Seems he is a known scammer, but it is all third hand, so best if you make your own conclusions. Seems to be very suspicious that the presale was closed based on the reason that trolls took up too much of his time. Huh?

If anybody knows of a serious competitor to NXT, please post about it. Need to know what the competition is up to. At this point, I am putting emunie in the potential competitor category. Until there is an open beta and/or open src, it could all be vaporware for all we know. Has anybody here actually used the beta of emunie?

Can someone tell me why all these thread are opened here on BCT, and not on our own forum nxtcrypto?

I mean this seriously and as an open question. I'm fine with it, just a bit surprised.

JIRA is probably the best, but it's not free.

A friend of mine has used http://www.redmine.org/ before. I could have it up and running later today, hosting isn't an issue. Not sure what I should use for a domain.

I guess we already have one though?

the one that can guess exactly when we will hit page 1000 gets 100 NXT the ones who publish on page 1000 get also 10 NXT each

Maybe if you guys chill a bit this thread might become useful. Seriously, go AFK for few hours and come back to witness just insane
amount of crap added here in the meantime. You are spamming out important stuff like problems with NXT wallet and so on. It could
be that IS the reason behind such stupid contest but long-term you are not really helping anyone.

I agree 100% about this... these little games, sweepstakes, ask BCTnext a question, etc are very gimmicky n completely unnecessary to promote a supposed "next generation" crypto.

we have no "working" product yet... so the only thing a new user has to base his decision on whether or not to use n adopt nxt is forum post like here...our community posts here n future promises of what nxt can do is what helps new users n investors put money n faith into nxt.

I propose we leave out these little gimmicks n games n focus on nxt development related materials so new users n investors can have faith in putting their money into nxt.

Sometimes I believe people are reading a totally different thread than I am...
Apart from some light heartedness, mostly I see people thinking and working their asses off and showing the products.
This takes time, so yes, "nice" interfaces and ease of use is still weeks/months in the future.
This has been said by more than one dev.

The target group of new users at this moment is not the mainstream user. I'd be horrified if someone actually proposed to try and go to market with the current client.
At this moment it's for people who are interested in the inner workings and not the mainstream user.

However, apart from hard work, sometimes it's nice to have some fun.

today I have posed several important issues to solve do you think that someone reacted?

2 people have answered on the discussion about the unclaimed coins, apparently not important.

Implementing the voting system how to implement it, no one reacted on that one.

Don’t tell me when to be serious mister

Now I don’t think someone is seriously reading this thread, might as well close it.

And mister pepper, please read about NXT in the wiki and learn!

Hi guys, just been reading up on NXT.

Is the only way to get into it to buy some NXT?

I see I can get a few NXT for free, but i'll never earn NXT over time with just 10 NXT in my wallet will I?

Gets hard to keep track of that here on bitcoin.. Wouldn't it be better if these threads were hosted on http://forums.nxtcrypto.org - they could even create a separate category for it. Makes it much easier to follow up on.

Keep in mind the concept of redundancy and decentralization. The more diverse the better chance an eco-system survives.

Bookmark each thread to keep track of them.

Important info hopefully is being pulled out of this general thread. works are in progress

I think we need to open some threads based on functionality instead of another thread when everything stays in the same place which is the same as this original thread.
We should have at least some more threads like this:

1. NXT full feature clients - progress tracking thread here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/nxt-full-feature-clients-progress-tracking-thread-412138

2. NXT security and user interface improvement - progress tracking thread rickyjames will take care of it

3. NXT arbitrary message and mobile application - progress tracking thread someone should open one now

4. NXT promotion and marketing thread - progress tracking thread here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/nxt-marketing-promotion-nxt-forum-now-moved-to-nxtforumsorg-412243

There threads will run parallel with the main thread here and the NXT source code report here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/nxt-source-code-flaw-reports-397183

This will at least bring some organization to grass-root development we have here.

Someone should do the same for other threads and keep them updated. The updates should be a decentralized effort by everyone. Aslo remember to bookmark all the parallel threads.

Also NXT API 1 thread https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/nxt-api-of-nxt-313082
NXT API 2 thread https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/nxt-api-2-brainstorming-406839

What about a thread for other service providers such as block explorers, online wallets (non-full feature clients), other tools...?

You can make one. Make links to all other progress tracking threads. We want all of them running parallel.

Done: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=412516.new#new
