I proposed an option for "mining" Nxt. Technically, this isn't mining, but if someone were to do this, we could all use our SHA-256/Scrypt hashing power to acquire Nxt.
I first posted this over at the Nextcoin.org forum (see here). Please join the discussion and if anyone who reads this knows of an experienced pool admin who might be interested, please refer them to this topic.
The really cool thing about this approach is that people will most-likely not mine Nxt to dump it. They will mine Nxt and the process will pump it, rather than suppress value!
Practically any way you look at this approach is a benefit!
Holy fuck! I love this idea! What do wo need to make this reality?
Someone to do it. I work full time and I am experienced enough to know that this type of project takes time to do right. I've worked with the client code but I have 0-experience working on a pool (plus I'm not a web developer.)
So, what we need is a motivated pool manager to do this. I wish it were me, but it's not. This is why I'm willing to start a bounty. However, I won't be able to get that going until a little bit later today.
