Hey CfB... would really like your opinion on my concerns earlier:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=345619.msg4198196;topicseen#msg4198196

...I have had my wallet unlocked non-stop (aside from downtime from attacks) for a FULL month until today...

The issue u r talking about belongs to client side. I don't have opinion on that, sorry.

Turned out it's the DGEX reserve account with 75 mil  Cool
What is your source for this statement?  If true, it totally invalidates salsacz's video claim that 30% of NXT has changed owners in 21 days or my analysis that 20% had done so thru Dgex in 30 days...

why would it invalidate anything?
reserve account doesn't mean DGEX necessarily owns all of NXTs in it, it's just users of DGEX store their NXTs there, it's their trade money.

Same goes for bitcoin exchanges, some of the biggest bitcoin wallets are actually exchanges' wallets with thousands of users owning bitcoins in those wallets.

If it's still in storage at DGex it hasn't changed hands yet on the exchange and still belongs to the depositor.  It can't be counted as NXT that has found a new owner yet until it's actually sold.

We don't know what fraction of that 75 million belongs to buyers and sellers. If I deposit 1 million NXT, sell it on dgex, and the person who bought it hasn't withdrawn it from the exchange it will remain in the dgex reserves. Yet the 1 million NXT is now belonging to and controlled by the buyer not the seller. etc

This is true.  It can only be "positively" identified as being sold when it is withdrawn from Dgex by the buyer.  That's the criteria I was using to say "20% had changed hands in 30 days at Dgex".  I was assuming 200M had been WITHDRAWN.  Now I find out that 75M has been shuffled into a Dgex storage account.  This means only 125M has been withdrawn, or around 12-13%, not 20%.  This matters because salsacz has a very bold "30%" claim front and center in her video.  That number needs to be researched and corrected a single time now, not explained as an error to critics a million times a month from now.

The real solution here is that Graviton and salsacz need to have a talk.

as there are many volunteers who are putting in a lot of hours
For their_own_future_benefits (NXT's value in pocket and/or near-ideal payment system). Called profit. Concept: rational egoism.

This account was hacked. just recently got it back
Are there any plans on redistributing the roughly 61 million USD in NXT ? The current distribution seems so far off, it borders on being ridiculous. Basically all founders are now millionaires. Before it is even usable as a payment system?
I tried to gather some NXT but it seems almost impossible, I got more free BTC doing less work (not mining, but faucets, ad-clicking, etc).
This all seems a bit too greedy for my taste to be totally honest.

Why not hold 80% of all NXT in the genesis account and release that as transactions fee's in the coming 10-30 years? Seems a LOT fairer to me.

If there would be a better way of redistributing it, I think its the best way one can do it.

So that the 20% Stakeholders would forge it anyway?

I sent my NXT from DGEX to my "wallet" but it is not appearing. It shows on the blockchain (was confirmed two days ago).
Where the hell are they?

Cheers for any advice
Olimpiata,

try restarting the client, if the blockchain website shows it, it is probably there, the wallet lost sync

James

Restarting the wallet didn't help.. No idea what's going on :/

not the book of genesis, the "block of genesis" Smiley

0.01 BTC is simply the point where NXT market cap and BTC market cap are roughly the same. Actually it is trending toward 0.02 BTC as more and more BTC gets mined, but I use 0.01 to have some room.

NXT is better than BTC in many ways.

NXT is extensible. BTC is like compuserve. It wasn't extensible. NXT is like the internet, very extensible. How many of you remember compuserve?

NXT pays a dividend and allows for a calculation of lifetime future cashflows,which in turn allows value investors to consider NXT. BTC will never pay a dividend, BTC is for speculators. NXT is for intelligent investors.

BTC is established, NXT is not established yet. By communicating the truth about NXT and BTC, smart people (who tend to have a lot more money than people not so smart) will invest in NXT. Speculators will start selling their BTC to buy NXT.

I see it more as an inevitable shifting of assets tied up in BTC to NXT combined with new smart money coming into NXT.

For all android users, by installing "meta widget" on android,you can easily create a widget showing the price from www.dgex.com. I did it on my phone, took only 5 minutes, unfortunately i cannot copy it and post it, need to be done individually.

Go to church. Really.

And without jokes:
1) Why stakeholders took risk, but much more people'd be granted for this? No sense.
2) That action'll turn Nxt to MUCH less secure system. Every second there'll be the risk Genesis account's owner can compromise whole system, forging bad blocks. I prefer to not give such unhealthy potential to any man. U suggest center, but most of cryptoguys strongly disagree including me.

I do not understand why I am being attacked here. Go to Church?? Is that your response to legitimate questions and proposals?
jl777 thinks I want NXT for free and without doing work so he surely is not reading what I am writing.
I will stop this discussion as I am clearly not meeting the intended audience here.
