Coinsumm.it Public Relations would like to know who I would like to interview. What does the Nxt community think? Should I interview Vitalik Buterin or Anthony Di Iorio of Ethereum or should I interview Kashmir Hill of Forbes or Shakil Khan of CoinDesk?

If you're interested in tech details, interview Vitalik.  If you're interested in Ethereum's philosophy and plans, interview Anthony.

Guerre? je ne suis pas d'accord.

You cannot fight with knives against tanks.
hum, with AT we will have weapon for fight against ethereum. We cannot ''underestimate'' them power for attract people. i see 3 weeks ago a lot of young people really happy to mine ether in their testnet.  They have a really good public relation and ''show them face to public'' .So public can associate ''real human'' with this project.  Maybe we need to do ''our coming out'' and go out our confort zone. All nxt group of java developper stay in shadow (me too also), this is only reflexion : can we stay like this Huh.  Ether is now your main competitor.

The ethereum guys are VERY effective at appealing to peoples emotions. Watch the high production videos and the way they present themselves. They are able to speak very fervently during presentations. That is currently their strength that Nxt lacks.

There would also actus be analyzed . actus open source smart contracts.

This software Ethereum is based

The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation awarded Stevens Institute of Technology a grant to work on the proposal entitled "Creating a standard language for financial contracts and a contract-centric analytical framework". The standard follows the theoretical groundwork laid down in the book "Unified Financial Analysis" (1) - UFA.The goal of this project is to build a financial instrument reference database that represents virtually all financial contracts as algorithms that link changes in risk factors (market risk, credit risk, and behavior, etc.) to cash flow obligations of financial contracts. This reference database will be the technological core of a future open source community that will maintain and evolve standardized financial contract representations for the use of regulators, risk managers, and researchers.
The objective of the project is to develop a set of about 30 unique contract types (CT’s) that represent virtually all existing financial contracts and which generate state contingent cash flows at a high level of precision. The term of art that describes the impact of changes in the risk factors on the cash flow obligations of a financial contract is called “state contingent cash flows,” which are the key input to virtually all financial analysis including models that assess financial risk.

ethereum - for example here: http://bitcoinexpo.ca/ they have 3 speakers, that would be fine, but they are also Platinum sponsors - they paid $35,000 for sponsoring this one small event..

You forget to mention that Anthony Di Iorio -- the man who is helping to co-ordinate Bitcoin Expo -- is an Ethereum co-founder, and also operates the bitcoind space in downtown Toronto where Ethereum's main office is.

And you wonder why they don't want Nxt at Bitcoin Expo?  <-- EDIT: Removed. Statement is misleading and inappropriate.

I don´t really get it. You will make an interview with one of the guys, or you will attend an interview with one of them as a counterparty?

Hey, new version at http://nxtra.org/nxt-client/

Great! Grin

Hey, new version at http://nxtra.org/nxt-client/

Great work.

One word about more code in common: run for it. I think JL is open for that.

About the non-uniqueness of assets. Well, nice idea of having a branding via an alias, but I still do not like it. It is just a feeling.

Maybe, somebody could give me a good feeling of non-unique asset names.

As others have mentioned, the "original" asset name may not be the "real" asset, so the original name has no real meaning. Also, it solves the issue of different issuers selling the same product. Because their alias is unique, no one can fake their brand.

We need guys in the marketing of Nxt who are native english speakers. I really appreciate the work of salsacz, but in some of his writinigs he uses phrases that can be misinterpreted or that are simply not appropriate.
We also need speakers for Nxt. Speakers with technical background who are able to represent Nxt in videos, interviews, people like rickyjames and Anon. But more of them, and also ones who are ready to travel to conferences.

I am in talks with the Vienna Bitcoin Conference guys, they already offered me to talk about Nxt, which is great, but I won´t be able to tell them more about it, than how cool it´s features are, because I have no clue about the cryptographical, mathematical or coding aspects. So here, for example, I would need someone to get with me on the stage and take over where it is getting more techy.

I am no programmer! But how about something like this:



Each forger determines who will forge the 10th next block. When creating the block he takes the data from the previous block to create a hash. From this hash he also determines the 10th next block forger. To make this strategy not predictable, we will have to implement a random variable that can't be predicted. Any ideas for this?

So now lets say we are on block 1000 and Forger A is the creating this block. He determines that B will forge block 1010. Now we know block 1001,1002,1003,1004,1005,1006,1007,1008,1009 and 1010 but we can't predict 1011. Only once Block 1001 is forged we will know that.

Is that idea retarded?

Nxt Automated Transactions, once developed, will provide the same "Turing complete" functionality described by the Ethereum group. Nxt is currently developing AT just as Ethereum is in process of developing their "Turing complete" capability.

Ethereum has not released their currency or their main net. This presents a very large financial risk for Ethereum to attempt to implement contracts in the blockchain.

Haven't given up yet.  Is there a reason this wouldn't reliably get random numbers into a decentralized network?

3 forgers at once, first 3 from the list of next forgers in line to forge.

A picks a random number, signs it, and sends to B
B picks random number, signs it, and sends to C
C picks random number, signs it, and sends to A

Who decides who are A, B and C?

Hint: you do not know if an account will forge even when it is due to do.

Looks like ByteCoin agrees with me, after writing this up I did some poking around and something like this should indeed be a way to generate an agreed upon random numbers within a decentralized environment: http://crypto.stackexchange.com/questions/1858/is-there-some-way-to-generate-a-non-predictable-random-number-in-a-decentralised

Hmmm, Cryptsy is at it again...

Deposited 7500 NXT, 22 hours ago and it is still not added to my balance.
It arrived, minutes after sending, at the correct address. After some e-mails back and forth this was their final response:

------
Thank you for providing the information needed.

NXT deposits and withdraws are delayed. NXT is a new coin that we have introduced. There will be some delays as our technical team along with the developers of this coin are working hard to make this new coin run smoothly. Please bear with us as we work to improve your trading experience.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

You mean Craptsy Smiley
They suck big time!!

I got the same message when I had some issues with them.
They solved it within 24 hours, so only patience will help you in this case.

why wasn't this here? It is so cool of him Cheesy

Selling all my (a bit less than 90 dont know the exact number but I will count it if you want to buy all) bitcointalk account all invested during nem IPO:

Altough I invested during the whole IPO period, all accounts invested different ammount of btc or nxt, I'm selling every one
account for 0.25 bitcoin / acc, no matter how much did I invest with that acc address, 0.008 or 0.075, all acc have the same price.
For those who want to buy all, im selling for 0.15 bitcoin / acc.

I know some other big nem sockpuppet stakeholders some with 1-5 and some with more than 20 acc, but im think I one of the biggest, 90 is a nice stake if you see the total is about 3k only.

The accounts were all signed up with different IP address, I used my Ukrainen VPN provider with Ukrainein IPs, so there are no 2 account where I logged with the same IP, every one have a different unique, I did this because afraid the bitcointalk admins can bann my accounts if they see many new created with the same IP, so all accounts are bann free.

There is no connection between the accounts and not in their addresses, I withdraw all the invested moneys from several exchanges to unique address, so even you can't find connection with taint analysis, maybe just find a common exchange address, but nothing more direct connection.

All acc have fake email, I dont have access to them, after you buy it you can change with the password, if you want to buy only a few acc I will give the username and password details via pm, if you want to buy all I uploading a text file.

With the 0.15 BTC price for the 90 acc, dont know how much one acc will get, but maybe calculate with 1 million nem in each.
So all with this price is 13.5 bitcoin, and you will have 90 million nem.
This will price 1 nem to 0.00000015 bitcoin or 0.00009$ (if you see 600$ / btc) this is a fair price for a new starting coin.

The last stakeholders paid 0.075 bitcoin, the higher price / acc is because now the IPO is closed, so the only way to buy nem stake before it launches is by buying accounts from who joined to the IPO, and almost nobody selling it.

For the haters: Yes I made sockpuppet accounts, but all of you reading this thread had the same opportunity to make more accounts, if you didnt than it means I took more risk than you, I invested a lot of time (1 week / constant 6-10 hours a day) and money to this IPO, and the OP post at the time the IPO started said if somebody invest that much time then he deserves it because believing in this coin.

Im living in Ukraine, so for personal reasons i need some fiat money instead of nothing now but I keep 5 or 10 btctalk nem accounts, because still thinking this coin have a future.

Write a PM to me!

Well, I am lucky that my brain is quantum compatible.

What about yours?

After I started working on Nxt my IQ went from 68 to 83. I hope this will be enough.

I assume those numbers are hexadecimals...  Grin

Whenever anyone observes your IQ then their act of observation will be altering it...
Is that a good thing  Huh

A picks a random number, signs it, and sends to B
B picks random number, signs it, and sends to C
C picks random number, signs it, and sends to A

No machine can pick a number based upon the numbers picked by the other two machines because they don't know them all.

All forgers wait until the other machines have picked a number and have heard from the other machines that everyone is holding onto their digital signature for some data they don't have.  All every forgers knows is the signature of the machine that passed it data.

Now they send their actual data to the next machine, that machine double checks the signature against the data and sees that yes, this is the data that was signed by the last machine.

They sign that data themselves and broadcast it to the network.  Now all forgers know that A has signed that it generated this random number as well as the random number and they have verification from B that B is saying A is telling the truth.

Now every block has a truly unique random number attached to it.

If either A or B are found to not match up, you'd probably want to flag them as suspected liars or manipulators, it could be either one that is lying about the other one, most likely one of them is being honest but there is no way to tell which one.  If they are found to be lying, ditch the random numbers that are disputed.

Every block sum the last 10 minutes worth of random numbers along with the account balances from 1440 blocks ago (or much sooner with this scheme?) and use that to determine who will forge next.

Please attack it!

Edit: actually no reason A should only send his signed copy of the data to only B, send it to both B and C.
B should send it's signed copy of the data to A and C, and C to A and B.

Hey guys, http://hashrate.org has had a bit of a facelift.
Yesterday we paid out 0.008 BTC/MH/day equivilent in NXT - why mine anywhere else?


Great job on this, I'd really like to see a layman's guide on your page as well, for those that want to mine a little bit;
