a transactions's fee should be tied to its byte size on the blockchain

...

There is another possibility.


Dynamic fees. byte size on the blockchain Vs Nxt coins market so that in order to if you want to forge you can provide a nxt per byte minimum price you are willing to offer to forge.
everybody have the possibility to make their numbers to see if it is profitable or not to forge.
if the price reaches a very high value should nevertheless have a minimum VPS nodes to ensure network.
in order to forge more attractive can be charged other services like;
leasing of computer

and so on


I think this solution solves;

fee is adjusted automatically
fee takes into account the costs of the nodes always updated
fee is charged per byte size on the blockchain
the concept of instant transactions is not broken
prevents spam

Can someone who has the know-how explain the in-and-out's of this "NXT mining" and if it's really a big deal?

I'm seeing news all over the place and suggestions that it's quite a "boost to NXT".


Overhyped marketing again or something more?

It has nothing to do with Nxt itself. You join the pool that mine other altcoins, dump them on exchanges in return for nxt. All this is done automatically (bots) without much user input.  

I am sure the volume is really small, but it keeps the "buy" side ticking on exchanges.

It's a way to siphon the "value" of other coins into Nxt.

Basically a pool that pays out in Nxt instead of BTC. Smiley

I would like for us to try and come up with a "NXT Mission Statement".

http://www.norcblueprint.org/uploads/File/Mission_Statement_Guidelines.pdf
http://www.fastcompany.com/1400930/how-write-mission-statement-isnt-dumb

From the links above:

"A mission statement defines in a paragraph or so any entity's reason for existence. It embodies its philosophies, goals, ambitions and mores. Any entity that attempts to operate without a mission statement runs the risk of wandering through the world without having the ability to verify that it is on its intended course."
 
I suggest two rules to this exercise.  

First, posts containing your personal vision of the NXT mission statement contain no elaboration, explanation or follow-on text.  The whole point of a mission statement is that it is short and self-contained, and is supposed to stand alone.

Second, say or post NOTHING about anybody else's NXT Mission Statement, only modify and resubmit your own based on what you see others write.

This is a brainstorming exercise.  We will probably end up with several variants of a mission statement.  This may help us identify and understand different "subcultures" in our community and who belongs to them.  

Or this may just be an exercise in futility, I dunno.

Here's a first draft of "My NXT Mission Statement":  

The mission of NXT is to become humanity's most widely used blockchain-based currency for the purchase of goods and services online.

Think there needs to be more?  This mission statement is a blockchain of sorts - add to (or fork) it!

I'm working on this with QBTC, after the "branding" fell through.
I already collected surveys from Nxt members for this, but more are welcome.
The survey can be found here. We will collate this into a unified and understandable (ie. not all over the place) mission and vision.

QBTC is a professional in this field and I am very happy that she wants to help out with this as far as her time allows her to do.

For those who want: the survey can be found here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.5487600
Answers can be posted in the marketing thread. I will then get them to QBTC and we will work on this. Smiley

Hi, i have a webdesign-agency with 5 employes. How can i helping the NXT-Community (for free)?

We are fokused on Screendesign, UI-Design, Responsive Design. I will help to make a clean and structure corporate design, a better and consistent cover over the NXT project. More idendity is more professional and more trust building.

we need a website similar to mynxt.org, but still better, for nxt.org

it could be similar to this site: http://www.tectonica.co/

Also right now I use a one page for different kinds of people. I am sending this page to journalists: http://justpaste.it/nxt-introduction-4-journalists
and this to shops: http://justpaste.it/accept-nxt

So it might be implemented somewhere, but with simple design around..


+ others >

Thanks for input. Keep it coming, I'll gather it for the dude. Smiley

Thats because of all the "every type of altcoin going" pump and dump mentality. People are starting to realise nxt has never been a pump and dump coin. Now all you see is pumping and dumping of the alt clones to transfer to nxt. If anything Nxt has given a purpose for the alt clones and thats is pumping them to dump for nxt. alts are a way for people to obtain nxt without putting up fiat. imo any ways. i personally mine alts to swap for ghs at cex or buy nxt with em and thats it. nxt is my gold stash lol

And now we have 2 pools www.hashrate.org and www.nxtp00l.org i dont even have to handle to alts lol

+10

We should support them (with better designs, developers) and market the hell out of them.

I'm working on the newsletter (had to take some time off Nxt because of my "real job" Wink )

Please check if the info here is up to date: http://nxter.org/nxt-mining/

If it is, feel free to share. If not - let me know, and I'll update it immediately.

Could be a deadcat bounce. Still a lot of selling power.

Once the exchange goes live a lot of new people will show interest in NXT. There are some people worried about paper losses too much IMO. It's only a loss if you sell for less than you bought. I'm sitting on paper losses too, but I'm not going to sell until at least 1 NXT=1USD. The deadcat bounce is Auroacoin IMO

I agree. It's amazing how jittery many in this young community seem to be about price. The alt coin world is so spoiled with the idea of instantaneous profits. Not many think long term and amazingly even long term is defined most of the time as <12 months.

who runs the p00l site? why do most addresses end with 3 zeros? might this be a bug and he pays out to invalid addresses?

Great idea! This'll be fun Smiley

Don't forget the most made mistake about this; people often claim they have a good Mission Statement, but actually it is a Vision Statement.

Maybe we can have both. But it's important that we can recognise which statement belongs to a Mission Statement.
