Will we be given some kind of heads up regarding when the asset exchange is opening?  It'd be nice to let everyone know so we all can plan to be sitting at the computer and try to reserve our favor assets instead of these assets being taken lottery like based upon the first people to realize it's been released.  It'd probably also distribute them a little bit more fairly between people trying to pick off the good names.  Because I can think of a couple asset names that everyone would love to own.

Anyway, owning assets names to never use them sucks.I bought many aliases ,which could be speculation, but i find assets a more serious thing that should only be taken if you are really issuing the asset. What do you want, to have 10.000 assets which are really nothing??That would kill asset exchange, if you have to dive into thousands of assets to find something is worth > 0.

In fact, i would try to give jl777 preference to create first all the assets with a gateway, so people could knew all assets with coin name in account XXXXXXXX are safe.This exchange letting trade all the main coins is what NXT needs!!!! If you get hundreds of people trolling asset names,it will be a mess no one will want to touch.

I'd be fine with that too.. maybe something where if you want a specific highly wanted asset name you must submit a plan for using that, they will wait for 30 days to allow competing plans to come in, then assign it to the person they deem has the best plan?

But I have a big and very good for Nxt plan in mind, it just involves snagging up a specific asset name (or something very close to it).

In fact maybe the first week could be run like this for all assets?  Give a deadline, people say they want this asset, prove they have Nxt they are willing to pay with, and submit a proposal for how they intend to use it.  I really dislike the way all the aliases were snapped up for what 0.1 cents each or whatever Nxt was going for at the time?

I don't really come from outer space.
Quote
Rather than beginning your sermons with a quote from Sun Tzu, begin them with nifty little tricks which the laity can investigate later. For example, did you know that `strings -n 20 /.bitcoin/blk0001.dat` dumps ASCII art portraits of both Saint Sassaman and Ben Bernanke? This art was encoded as fake public keys used in real transactions, and it can't be removed without undoing all Bitcoin transactions since it was inserted into the chain. The entire Bitcoin economy depends upon the face of the chairman of the Fed not being removed from its ledger! Isn't that clever?
-- International Journal of PoC || GTFO, Issue 0x00, a CFP with PoC (http://openwall.info/wiki/_media/people/solar/pocorgtfo00.pdf)

Actually, this is the code to dump ASCII Sassaman and ASCII Bernanke from my copy of the blockchain:
Code:
strings -n 20 blk00003.dat

Just heard back from the ATM guys:

http://www.coindesk.com/mexicos-first-bitcoin-atms-will-also-deal-altcoins/

"Hi,

Thanks for your suggestion. Its bookmarked and noted. Right now we have other priority, but my first look at your landing page looks interesting.
I would like to discuss things further with you to a later moment. Please write me in a couple of weeks again.

Best,
Alec"

On vacation for a few weeks in Thailand, will work on some other initiatives (including meetups) when I get back in early April. Again, not looking for any type of bounty, just protecting my investment.

Doing my own thing... we'll have a section in yBitcoin. Check out their demographic:

This is what I did for Peercoin for quite awhile, I'm about reaching out and making the phone calls.

Well, im glad its 1000 nxt  to issue an asset,it solves a part of this problem.But still, i think we need to focus to have all the main coins gateways ready with their assets,and let people know how to get to them fast and easy when we launch the AE!

So when they first use the AE,they see they can do something useful with it, instead of logging in and just click buttons and see how colourful it is.(no offense wesleyh,we all love it  Grin)

I am really glad that the first Nxt financial and economic analysis was finished,
so I can present you a 15-pages paper from one very smart guy:

What are the economic parameters of Nxt?

his Nxt ID for donations is:

1820734801611231561

Comments will be post to: https://nextcoin.org/index.php/topic,4433.0.html

Good afternoon USA, maybe there is someone who could understand this text and left some feedback Smiley much appreciated

The plan is to have a marketing campaign about it, yes.
But right now we are still undecided about some parts of it's technical design, but this'll get resorted in a couple of days (I hope), then we need to workout any bugs and then we can set a date and build up hype

You are a fucking stupid idiotic retarded moron and thief.

me emule Cheesy

welcome on my ignore list, congratz you are in company of emule there.

wow, quite a reaction there, must have really hit a nerve, and now you are calling him a thief, just like emule has, after admitting to dumping, after emule has

Well, I would be angry if someone accused me of being emule, although I wouldn't use that language.  Not sure why Pin is being attacked here, did I miss something?

not sure you get how pin was 'attacked', it was just a few musings and coincindences.  what he did certainly was attacking though.

It is not nice to mention psychic disease in a "joke". Diseases are not any subject of jokes.

Well salsacz accused Pinarello of being the biggest troll on this forum based on nothing but him not praising NXT. That's pretty much as close to North Korean thinking as you'll get.
I think Pin is 100% entitled to call him a fucking retard for that.

As for political correctness of "joking" about mental illness, well we joke about everything and anyone can be offended by anything.
If you call some stupid, that is also referring to someone who was born with a lower than average IQ (not their fault).
So unless you want to censor everything there is no reason to discriminate against the word "retard". *Everyone* knows he isn't insulting people with mental handicaps.

I meant the "I DONT USUALLY" picture.

I think micro-payments/tips are still cool and could be useful for Nxt

Gamers? I would like to show a link to an article/report about last Starcraft Showmatch, how many people were there etc, but I cannot because after month you still didn't deliver any

Could suit next not because it is a meme but because transactions are cheaper with nxt than with bitcoin (if you substract bitcoin's value increase due to demand increase covering its shareholder dilusion through paying miners with new coins). Or am I wrong in that?

@ Passion_LTC.Thanks for the help, bro. All sorted now.

Moving on to my usual summary and thoughts on the last 30 pages or so (while ignoring the whole Pin/emule/salsacz thing):

Good summary:
All this hand wringing the last few days has been because one or two big stakeholders have sold some of their stockpile. Maybe they wanted to buy a car or something, who knows? The progress of Nxt has been excellent. Wesleyh client is awesome. Asset exchange being tested and will be functional within weeks, Transparent forging and big increase in TPM capability coming in April. Adam B. Levine says Nxt looks like the future Bitcoin and he's very excited about it. Tons of other good news. Don't let the price or the trolls get you down!
+lots
BTW; any one else notice that there seem to be a lot of new guys/girls/things posting here ? Another good sign....


More work for me, thanks,  bidji29:
I think after the April 4th, NxtFunds should be the leading force in this community.

I propose to the 3 Funds to make an annoucement after that date. Each on a separate day to spread the info load.
Since the 3rd part of the plan is released the 4th, i think a week is needed to organise if needed . So something like 10th, 11th and 12th April.

April 10th : TechDevfunds Announcement
April 11th : InfrastructureFunds Announcement
April 12th : MarketingFunds Announcement

In this annoucement, they do a clear roadmap for this year. Not just some fuzzy goal, but clear one. What direction and goal, How the money will be used,  How much exactly for each goal, etc..

I don't think devunds should just be passive, like just rewarding someone when he do some good work, or announce a bounty for a potential project.
They should be active. It mean search for people to work on NXT, make Job offer, going out of the way to find the most efficient to spend the funds, etc...
I sort of like the idea of a roadmap, but it shouldn't come directly from the committees.
Stop looking for leadership. Really, it's the human love of being bossed around by assholes that causes most of the trouble in the world.
If u want a road map, create one yourself and then throw it open to the rest of the community to debate it.
I'll be happy to help, but not as a leader.  No gods, no kings.....

Which brings me to:
Excellent news , thanks CfB! Are you being paid for the extra work?

No, but I have some NXTs, so I'm a little interested in success of Nxt. Smiley

Good point!! Are there any people working on NXT who don't have a big enough stake to stay motivated? If there are we need to help them get a big stake. Maybe give them an option to buy in at a fixed price down the track.

Just give me all the NXT. I am feeling a little bit unmotivated today.....


Talking about motivation....good decision, CfB.
I thought CfB and CIYAM are working on TF to make it 100% deployed, aren't they?

I am not working on TF at all - but I do think that CfB is going to proceed with it as originally planned.


Aye, I became tired of all these useless discussions (what and how to do) and going to stick to the initial plan. I'll quit a little bit later (not on the 3rd of April), coz I can't complete all planned tasks by that date.

Damelon has almost got a woocommerce module ready to go, when its released, let's start getting NXT in use as a 1st gen currency, for example:
A NXT paywall?

Offside the great technical stuff which is developed right now we have to consider, which features NXT should have for the Joe Doe, thereby he will pay with our currency in the internet.

I thought alot about at which places micropayment is used until now. There is flattr.com, for example. I have no idea how succesful it is but there is at minimum one point to critizise: It is not anonymous at all! The flattr-company knows who is paying/donating the money because you have to register with your adress, etc.

Then I remembered a topic, that at least was discussed by a great public in germany: Content at the internet is not free & the "mass mortality" of printmedia. In a row this discussion caused the development of paywalls.  Some small and some big newspaper (resp. their online-branch) implented paywalls between the user and their content.

So, in this field micropayments in the internet shall accepted by a great group of normal people.

Should'nt we focus on these paywalls and

1) try to convince the providers to implent NXT as one of the various ways to load your paywall-account?

2) try to provide our own NXT-driven paywall-client FOR FREE for all the smaller websites and businesses? If we compete with the big paywall-providers by offering the service completly free (except the transaction fee, of cause) I personally think some smaller businesses will use the service and they'll promote automatically NXT to a wider public.
And I also suggest that we look at major online games as potential NXT clients. Perfect fit for our current market demographic, and will get NXT on the log-in screens of millions of gamers. EVE online, World of Tanks.....pay & play with NXT!

Ok, thats more than enough for now.

After your manipulative smeartactics i decided fuck it.
It had over 7000 viewers, more than all your articles combined and it cost 25K NXT + some thousand from my own pocket.

You clearly don't understand marketing. You are good at being active, writing articles and contacting people.
But not ENGAGE people.

Also I don't get why you think I don't like tipping on reddit. I have nothing against it, but I am saying that tipping was not what made DOGE popular.
It was a meme, infact it was several memes tied together. Yoda on crack grammar became a meme. The dog was already a meme. The name, how you pronounced it.
DOGE was a perfect marketing stunt in every way and it was launched perfectly to match the height of Bitcoins popularity.

I don't see why the community is so "stumped" on marketing. It's a very explored and researched field of science, perhaps one of the most studied in business and social science.

     We need something that will make NXT relevant, a flagship application that people aged 16-24 (the ideal target audience of a crypto-currency business, or at least mine) can't resist.

I'm working on that right now. Digital Goods Store that could be used to sell pornopics.

Where can i find more informations about it ?
