Nxt is in dared need of a 100% trust forum. Im wondering how long it will take until we get one. I believe community fund should fund a forum to get thing structure a bit. It good to be decentralized, but not desorganized.

I'm setting one up now and if opticalcarrier agrees it can be the new forums.nxtcrypto.org:

http://107.170.117.237

Can we get an SSL cert for it?  They are actually very cheap, I believe even free for a single server cert wwith startSSL.  If you order it with nxtcrypto.org domain then I will do the email part when it comes in.

But I wish I could get a domain-wide wildcard cert donated from infrastructure committee.  But they refused the request. So, JLP/CFB, please tell me your opinion on these light clients with client side signing, when they connect to VPSs, are SSL connections needed?  If so I will just disable SSL on all my VPSs and we can just forget about SSL altogether.

Except for forums  And also I wish we could get one for wiki, but the infrastructure commitee deems it unnecessary there as well.

BTW, sent both you and ^[GS]^ a PM on nxtcrypto. You've both put a lot of work in there, as have the language specific subforum mods! I would not want to let that go unnoticed!
Please respond to it when you have time and inclination Smiley

think of the poor little girl who wants to incorporate her lemonade stand. she literally has 1 dollar worth of assets. or the poor african who wants to buy a shovel and doesn't even have enough to do that. sure if the advantages are great enough than im willing to say screw um. but it just isnt anymore, the advantages are VERY minor at this point.

I wasn't able to read the end of ur post coz of tears in my eyes.

I'm working on market-set fees code.

PLEASE give us a write up of the overall design/operation

If you can get me a short description of the activities of the IC (and maybe even TechDev) I'll put it there, too.
Just the names is not enough, imo.

Thanks, makker.
Yep, I'll post an InfCom mission statement in a while, want to get a bounty announcement ready to go as well, so that's first.
Well, coffee is first, then I'll put the bounty ann. together, then post it and an introducton, so u can leave it in my capable paws.

Whay aren't u in bed, btw?

Heads up marketing team...This is the second time I am repeating this, Just a pointer for a more effective marketing strategy, other than the guerrilla marketing we have been limited to. The other crypto 2.0 platforms are doing it right.

Solution: Create campaigns marketing directly to businesses who will IPO on the nxt blockchain, each of these businesses will then partially serve as autonomous marketing vehicle for the nxt platform

1) counterparty has got it right: They have got 7+ businesses plus Adam b Levine ready to go on their platform

2) watch the video bitshares video..Their main focus is to appeal to businesses http://bitshares.org/

This is why platforms like Apple app store, Amazon and ebay are so successful...The sellers and affiliate marketers on these platform actually work to promote their product listed there, which in in turn brings greater exposure to the platform. I have yet to see any consensus on a similar strategy..So if you are a key decision maker on the NXT marketing committee please think about this post, I should know I studied a bit of marketing in college and made a living working in the field for a while other than just writing code...

Just my 2 nxt..back to work.

Nxt's Achilles heel at the moment is marketing. Big time.

I have to disagree, it is divided on parts based on the tech stage where we are. We aren't still prepared for mainstream guys

I created this:

Journalists and crypto enthusiastics:
http://justpaste.it/nxt-introduction-4-journalists
- sent to:
https://i.imgur.com/HzoRQQ9.png
+ 50 journalists via emails (I won't reveal their email)
- thanks to our efforts we have finished scientific papers so we can finally show them to journalists

Exchanges and shops:
http://justpaste.it/accept-nxt
- sent to:
https://i.imgur.com/36PESUM.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/0GIBHfl.jpg
- but here it was too soon. We need worpress Nxt plugins, plugins for eshops. Then we can continue with this.

prepared:
Academic researchers
http://justpaste.it/nxt-intro-4-academics

in progress:
A letter for businessmen
- We can deal with them after we have easy working client + we need to show them some articles about Nxt in mainstream media

other stuff: http://107.170.117.237/index.php/board,31.0.html

since we are doing non-unique names we may as well lower the price of issuing an asset down to the same price as any other transaction. (0.1nxt as it stand now i think right)

can anyone think of a good reason not to?

I suggested this earlier no one responded.  I definitely think it should go down to 1, or to .1, if fractional NXT comes before AE.

Quote
The market cap of a currency should be seen as roughly proportional, all things being equal, to a currency’s liquidity, which refers to the value that can be bought or sold without significantly altering the price

Quote
A more liquid currency has an advantage over a less liquid one because it can support more trade. Furthermore, liquidity in a currency is self-reinforcing. The more that people buy a currency, the more liquid it becomes. This naturally tends to promote the success of a single currency over all the rest.

Quote
Bitcoin and the dollar have very different properties, so it is possible to explain Bitcoin’s success in competition with the dollar despite the network effect of the dollar in light of those different properties

Quote
Altcoins are not viable because they cannot reproduce that which gives Bitcoin an overwhelming competitive edge: its market cap. It is unethical to create an altcoin with the purpose of making money off of it for this reason

makes sense what he say.

A possible strategy for Nxt

"The Bear Hug. Nxt Decentralized Exchange"

Encourage the maximum utilization of the "Nxt Decentralized Exchange" for Bitcoin Trade
Encourage the lower fees to the market. Nxt is Green. competitive advantage is this
Use always Nxt coins to pay fees in  "Nxt Decentralized Exchange"

I do believe we should allow alisases to expire.  Consider that AM's will be purged periodcally, as a spam prevention.  Well, RIGHT NOW, its better to spam blockchain with alias reassignment, and this is PERMANENT.  So not only will alias expiration more ably counter spam, but it allows reuse if owner dies with no plan for continued usage of alias.  Of course, we should allow a time period for owner to be able to renew before others can grab it.

And whenever DNS comes around, those records should expire as well, as well as with the ability of the owner to renew before any one else, if the owner is still alive.

Even though I own a LOT of aliases (spent some exciting nights back in December searching and registering them  Grin) I see the wisdom in this and would not mind at all.
Just registering and then being able to "sit" on them indefinitely is not good business practice and would put a lot of people/businesses off.

If only for the fact that I may go away of die of even lose the passphrase to an alias owning account, this is wisdom, or even common sense.  Smiley

A "renewal window" would be good though. I wouldn't want to sit behind the screen and do this feverish run again.

no, non-unique names is a trolling thing, that make as go in yet another circle - as perfectly shown by wesleyh.  Bravo, wesleyh!

I only have 1 forum member on ignore - I think that might be about to increase to 2.


please dont, he may make other bad ideas we need to argue against.  As having unique names WILL make it easier for scammers to scam, Its quite obvious that anyone wanting unique asset names must only want ability to squat them if they are willing to force the unique issue tht will let so many users get scammed.

When users see multiple asset names for "Microsoft" they will naturally be inclined to do their due diligence.  If you wanna-be-squatters get your way with unique asset names, then some scammer who is squatting "Microsoft" is more easily able to scam people out of ther NXT.

So you people arguing for unique asset names, or any kind of unique ID/tag/etc for assets are, for all intents and purpose, for all I am concerned, are considered not only squatters but also SCAMMERS

I do believe we should allow alisases to expire.  Consider that AM's will be purged periodcally, as a spam prevention.  Well, RIGHT NOW, its better to spam blockchain with alias reassignment, and this is PERMANENT.  So not only will alias expiration more ably counter spam, but it allows reuse if owner dies with no plan for continued usage of alias.  Of course, we should allow a time period for owner to be able to renew before others can grab it.

@EvilDave
There is an error in your post, I did not made the forum, it is wesley, the quote is not good. Damelon is an admin too. However, I have post my concern about missing a forum and wesley seem to have take very nice serious action by creating the forum shortly after. That explain why my name get on your post (I was quote by wesley). You might want to edit your previous post. I therefore cannot edit the board name on the new forum.

I am very happy with the creation of the new forum. Or course that will speed up the development of Nxt. I'll try to push people to use it when I see the opportunity.

@Damelon; all of the above, please.

@sebastien...ooops. Roll Eyes
Have to give my props to wesleyh, then. Anyhow: keep up the good work with the forum promotion.

Hmmm. I just accidentally sent 25k Nxt to this account: 760220816713461210

Stupid bter remembers the last account you sent to and I forgot to paste in the new account. Anyone know who this account belongs to? I can't recall what I used it for.

Just FYI, that payment was supposed to be a "thank you" payment/donation to a valued community member, so it would be much appreciated if the account holder would come forward and PM me so the payment can be directed to the intended recipient.

I have about 10 projects I'm working on in the user-created-asset space - If I were you guys, I would set up a long term, outcome oriented bounty program.  Here's what I suggested Invictus do with their 10% of their 5 million US dollar warchest to build the comunity

https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=3448.msg43334#msg43334

If you guys had something like that, it would be more compelling for people building projects to pick your platform and compete for the prize.  It also is in their best interest to start building as soon as possible because its a race that's already started.   There are a lot of options out there, if you create a predictable, rewarding environment for people to build on you'll be very attractive.

Hey adam. I really like that idea. We should put our commitees on that!

It makes a ton of sense to me, you guys have lots of funds right now but don't know how to spend them.  This lets you use them as medium and long term incentives, happy to answer questions if you guys need any ideas for how this should work.  [email protected]

+1. We have 3 committees in place, for Marketing, Technical Developmant and Infrastructure. the original remit of all 3 was to simply react to plans proposed by the community, but I think that the committees could take a more active role by setting bounties for specific projects.

If I ever stop posting here, I'll be putting up a bounty announcement shortly for papers on NXT security and attack vectors, in my role as InfCom spokesbeast:
