I like that the  tracking threads staying here just for now. There will be links to forums. When this thread and developers move to a forum we will all move together.

Bookmark each thread to keep track of them.

We have one but nobody listened.

Hello!

maybe you can try this one
http://www.mantisbt.org/

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.

I tried to find out some info about emunie, but pretty much failed

They are in some sort of beta test, but it is closed to new testers, no way to try anything

Their wiki is down, no whitepaper, no source code. The feature set appears to have a lot in common with NXT feature set.

What I did find out. It is written in Java (I think). It is being developed by one person (I think). It is designed to be like an electronic fiat, meaning that as more money comes into emunie, more emunie is issued. Some "central bank" authority algorithmically (arbitrarily?) decides what the right equilibrium price is and changes the emunie supply to reach that price.

It also seems to be a LOT more complicated than NXT. Just using a block-tree instead of a blockchain makes my brain hurt imagining all the evil bob scenarios ricot could come up with to game the emunie system. In my experience, such a complicated design will only work when there is significant software engineering team behind it. Not sure a single person can get all the bugs out, especially when they are having a mini-tantrum and cancelling the emunie IPO?

emunie community is about 10% the size of NXT

However, the emunie client does have some nice screenshots.

The above is mostly deduction on my part as I could not find anywhere that had an actual explanation of how exactly emunies are issued, hatched, whatever. It's total dependence on a single stressed out developer also makes me a bit uneasy.

I am pretty sure emunie has some decent tech behind it, but unlike NXT, it is always being delayed. This is common with complex software projects. With NXT there has been only one delay I am aware of and that was delaying the TF due to the mess the Ddos attacks made.

+100  As additional people join the mix through these threads, they can easily be directed to activism items on the Nxt forums.

I am on 8th year in my PhD economics program. So I am not going to change my dissertation But I am going to write something more academic NXT related soon.

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.

I added my idea: University projects (dissertations, masters, bacheleor thesis). This is a long therm thing, but if we have got here any teachers or even university attendants, it would be wonderful if you write your project based on Nxt.

There is one guy who writes his Phd about some Nxt app... There can be many thesis where you programm some Nxt app/add-on..., but I would like to get to the enomical/ecological areas too. There might be serious works based on the PoS, on Nxt, how it could change the world

Woohoo! forged my first block. Feels good, though it was only 1 NXT fee

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

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

Excuse me people this was meant to be a joke,
substrata board is all yours. Go ahead

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

wow

If you have any opinions about PoW mining vs. PoS non-mining, I created a thread:

Why is mining so important for all Bitcoiners/altcoiners?
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=411279.new#new

- I am using it as a source for the Nxt myths paper+video (I will use a lot of citations)
- it is a nice discussion and very helpful for the demythologisation

Important info hopefully is being pulled out of this general thread.

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.

think he will answer community has to vote

my RPi running 0.5.3 nearly 4 days without a problem - very stable!
18:35:04 up 3 days, 22:41,  1 user,  load average: 0.92, 0.96, 0.95


yeah, what will happen then?
