Hey guys,

I see there is a lot of info here, but I can't find what I am searching...

I want a NXT mining calculator. There is such a tool?

If you have an account with some NXT on it, go to this URL, replacing the last chunk of it with your account number:
http://87.230.14.1/nxt/nxt.cgi?action=3000&acc=XXXXXXXXXX

Have a look at "Mining Ratio" - it estimates how much NXT you would mine with your account by now if started at the very beginning.

Another way of saying this is that if you run a forging node (open wallet) with 1000 NXT with everyone else online, you will earn only 1 NXT for every 1 million NXTs that are charged as fees.  Thus you will "double" your 1000 NXT initial forging stake only when THE ENTIRE AMOUNT OF AVAILABLE NXT has cycled through once not as transactions, but FEES.

U don't take into account compound percentage.

Which is why my next sentence says "It's a little more complicated...".  I understand better (though probably still imperfectly) about the forging system.  To me the key point is there's a random aspect about it (you get all the transaction fees in a block you process and who knows what those fees will be) so you can never accurately predict what you will make via forging.  There is no formula.  

To summarize forging in a single sentence to an outsider, I think you have to make a Louis Armstrong statement ("If you have to ask what jazz is, you ain't never gonna know") - if you care about how much you're going to make via NXT forging, it won't be enough to motivate you.

Marketing...

There will be a Bitcoin Conference in February in Berlin.

http://www.mediabistro.com/insidebitcoins/

Since I am from Vienna, I would love to represent Nxt on this venue. I would fly over to Berlin and use the 2 days to spread the word, let others know about Nxt.
I believe in Nxt and am sure that we will benefit from it having someone around at a venue like this, that´s why I will fund the whole journey myself, but

donations to buy the tickets, pay for the hotel and flight is much appreciated!

There is no mining in NXT.  If you have your wallet client open, you occasionally earn a minimal fee for processing a block ("forging") when it's your turn.  It isn't your turn very often.  The more NXT in your wallet, the more often it is your turn.  From a previous post of mine:

"Another way of saying this is that if you run a forging node (open wallet) with 1000 NXT with everyone else online, you will earn only 1 NXT for every 1 million NXTs that are charged as fees.  Thus you will "double" your 1000 NXT initial forging stake only when THE ENTIRE AMOUNT OF AVAILABLE NXT has cycled through once not as transactions, but FEES.

Maybe it's just me, but I gotta say that forging does not seem to be a very good motivation for running a node."

Actually it's a little more complicated than that, but trust me, you're not gonna get very far on NXT with a miner mindset.  NXT was designed as its key feature to totally eliminate mining.

That's great, you don't understand what the discussion is about, and yet assume I deleted it, and I'm trolling. thanks. Wink

btw.  I'm the one that said I would be accused of deleting my post, which I did not. But good on you for picking up those reins.


Okay, maybe you didn't but who would delete your lousy post? It was just ordinary post like thousands of others.

I just feel that NXT absolutely has to run on 512 Mb with no issues, and openjdk-7-jre-headless seems a better choice vs openjdk-7-jre.
It is not there yet, but I agree, it takes more memory than it should now.

The memory leak that I fixed is not related to headless/headed differences, if any. I have only used the Oracle JVM, can't comment on openJDK.

There is still room for optimizing the memory usage, we create a lot of objects unnecessarily which even if not a leak puts an extra load on the garbage collector.

Maybe CfB can comment on the dev team's desire to manage a NXT marketing campaign?

Ask Jean-Luc, he is the captain.
Manage? Not me, I have no time and abilities for that. I hardly have the time to catch up with the posts here. Developers should do coding, marketeers should do marketing. Otherwise yes, I agree the marketing campaign is very important.

Come-from-Beyond, developer of NXT.. and not actually answering the questions or joining in the conversation (not only me) on how a system so weighted for the founders and high stake holders, it creates a no-loss system of block rewards for those same founders and high stake holders, only, while maintaining their majority stake.

I proved u wrong by providing a link to a very small stakeholder who had found a block. Sorry, but I don't have time to explain u why u was wrong. Start from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistics and google the rest by urself.

Could be. But the headless JRE has all the required libraries to run NXT, correct?

I don't understand what's all this discussion about. Who would want to delete his post. The guy just accidentally deleted it and stated screaming here and there. There are lots of stupid posts from trolls which are not deleted, so why the hell Graviton would delete such ordinary post. Calm down people.

I do not delete valid posts. I know nothing about this and don't have time to look at it right now. I need to prioritize forum rumours / paranoia / discussion mishaps from individual persons rather low. Thanks

Thank u. That guy was trolling, maybe he deleted his own post...


No thank you..  for continuing to call an investing person of NXT a troll ..2nd time? Come-from-Beyond, developer of NXT.. and not actually answering the questions or joining in the conversation (not only me) on how a system so weighted for the founders and high stake holders, it creates a no-loss system of block rewards for those same founders and high stake holders, only, while maintaining their majority stake.

I will say I find it interesting that my post count still reads as 6, but only 5 of my posts actually exist in that thread (not including the one that has disappeared).. Mmm.. If I had deleted my own post, which I clearly would not, wouldn't it only say... 5 posts?  If you go into my posts you can still see it in fact..  How did I somehow "accidentally delete it" but somehow create a way for it to still exist in my post count?  haha  

https://nextcoin.org/index.php?action=profile;area=showposts;u=4657

Thanks for pretending to be interested in what happened, and then flipping to call me a troll, again, immediately after though. That's rich.

it seems others have been enlightened by the forging, and they seem interested, and that's a good thing.
really, bye now.

hey, guys, just wanted to say, I've been running NXT on openjdk-7-jre-headless package in Debian instead of openjdk-7-jre, on 512 Mb, and it seems more stable, less memory consumption, hasn't got stuck yet. So if nobody has objections or bad results running it on the headless JRE, I am going to update the Setup guide.

DDoS is not that heavy as yesterday. Maybe that's why nodes run more stable?

I gotta confess, I voted but through clenched teeth - my apologies to the entrants, who I'm sure gave it their best.  None of those logos turn me on and I bet the whole logo thing gets revisited before we go a year.  NXT is too important a program to limp along getting introduced to the public via a confusing or uninspiring logo.

Is anybody familiar with the marketing concept of positioning? It is what big companies spend millions of dollars to achieve the top spot in a ladder of products. I say cola, you say either Coke or Pepsi. There are probably dozens of other colas, but those are the two that people automatically respond with.

This is no accident. Hundreds of millions of dollars have been spent and sometimes misspent, remember New Coke, just to get people to remember their product.

NXT needs to establish the top position in a strong positive category. I have a plan on how to achieve a very powerful position for NXT that will allow it to eventually exceed bitcoin's market cap. I would think that most people reading this forum would kind of like that. However, I get the sense that maybe the community wants to just focus on the tech and not bother with messy marketing stuff.

I would love to be able to work 100% on NXT, but it seems that the community doesn't feel like it is important or maybe I am not the right person, then somebody else do this. NXT needs marketing focus or it will be the best crypto that the public doesn't want.

James

P.S. utopianfuture, following this thread is taking up all my available time. Unless I am able to spend fulltime on NXT, I doubt I can expand my scope.

following this thread is a little waste of time for marketing people, because it we belongs to the tech guys. We had moved to the nextcoin.org and then we will move again... Anyway welcome to the marketing sheet:

The source is here, I only remember that in first days, there were more than 50 millions sold, in the forums, for a bargain prices Cheesy

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.4107001

+ Bitcoin data come from the web

I think you need to do more research and make sure this is right before you distribute your video.  Give me a few minutes to research something and I will get back to you.

I am very surprised.  I have just run a rough "audit" of the first month of dgex.com based on the (433 pages!!!) data at http://87.230.14.1/nxt/nxt.cgi?action=100 for the dgex account of 6635869272840226493.  I think the data pretty conclusively shows that right at 228,000,000 million NXT coins have been deposited by around 810 deposits there since the exchange opened on November 28.  Since roughly 28,000,000 are still on deposit at the site, the rest or 200,000,000 million have indeed been withdrawn by around 3500 withdrawals.   If 50 million were indeed sold here in the forums outside of dgex.com, then it is a fact that within the past 30 days at least 25% of all NXT in existence has been exchanged to a new owner.   This is a nearly amazing number to me and something to throw in the face of anybody that calls NXT a scam.

Let me crunch the spreadsheet numbers some more and I will post some more interesting facts.  

In the meantime, salsacz, not only have you made an excellent video, it is going to spread some very important truths and facts about NXT.   I say distribute it as widely as you can!!!



That is such an misleading statement. I can make 100 deposits and 100 withdrawals on DGEX and it's still the same person. You gotta check the unique addresses, and verify that they actually belong to unique individuals. I'm not saying that the number could be close to that, or higher, but you can't make these assumptions based on number of deposits/withdrawals alone.

I agree that I have not made an airtight case.  That's why I said "rough" audit, and after cutting and pasting for the better part of an hour I think a better "audit" needs some better automated tools - or at least access to more than 10 blockchain items per page.  

I am indeed making an assumption - that if a group deposits 200 million NXT on an exchange website, then it is sold to somebody else.  That's not a bad assumption, I think.  Before the data went out for some reason on Dec 26, there had been over 250 million NXT sold at Dgex.  That low deposit-to-net-trade ratio seems to indicate buy-and-hold a lot more than speculative trading - and certainly supports the contention that all 200 million NXT deposited and later withdrawn were actually sold to someone else and not withdrawn by the original depositor before a sale.  

As for tracking individual account ownership - good luck with that.  Rough audits are all we will ever get to some level.  Technically you can set up new accounts and launder money from a genesis block through Dgex right back to yourself and nobody will ever know.  So it's possible that there is zero NXT outside the hands of the founders - except for what I got on Dec 19 for myself.
