Topic: NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information - page 355. (Read 2761650 times)

Maybe it is because a lot of people dont understand things as well as I do. That is the lack of respect I am talking about. I addressed the concerns raised, logically. However, instead of accepting my assessment based on knowledge of ripple markets, NXT AE, coding nodecoin, etc., all that is ignored and some unsubstantiated claim about nodecoin destroying NXT becomes accepted by a vocal minority, ignoring my track record of being right about things.

Now I am childish too. Great. Maybe I am an irresponsible moron, idiot, etc too. All things I have been called. I am complaining about hostile work conditions. If that is childish, then I am childish.

I am beginning to understand why BCNext disappeared. Why jean-luc just pretty much only posts release notes and Cfb selectively answers everything with cryptic one liners.

Would you all prefer I do something similar? Disappear, release notes only or cryptic oneliners.

Up until now only BTC was able to provoke in me such feeling(s)...

Familiarization/investigation phase should be rewarded too - this is not a bounty fund, it is for covering expenses & salaries!
Other big stakes should fill the completion fund too (asap)!

Pay the guys and your self for f@cks sake!!  

EDIT: Just do it in a transparent way so no one can say anything bad for the management of the funding..

I read everything. I have no opinion on node coin. Nobody has disrespected you. Is your idea of respect loving node coin and not stating
their opinions as to why they feel it is bad for NXT? You have childish tendencies from what I've seen in this thread. Just because you
work hard for nxt does not mean you are doing the right thing. If your ideas receive a lot of negativity where others do not, think about why that is.

Total NXTcash operating fund spent to date: 0 NXT

Bloodyrookie and marcus03 put together a proof of concept version. With parallel chains a possibility, it really affects the project path, so that needs to be clarified. Though marcus could start work on most of the client side changes as they are pretty independent of specific server side details.

i am designing nodecoin and multigateway and NXTmixer and NXTcash to share the same codebase and even same set of server infrastructure, so it is hard to allocate my time based on project as they are all interconnected in my mind. It just seems like doubledipping if I am getting paid from neer.g and to claim NXTcash payments on top.

James,im sure you dont think community is not supporting you.Most of it does,and we cant thank you enough for it.I dont know if we would have the asset exchange without you,things would be different..

But with nodecoins there have been some doubts.It is something totally new and we still dont know everything it implies.So no one is attacking you for it,we are just a bit afraid of something new that changes our idea of Nxt. Debate will help to take better decissions.

my nodecoins address in my sig

it already has damaged
this is the third day I have lost due to negativity in the last few weeks
worse is, each time I find it harder and harder to get back in a groove

Would you peoples be treating CfB or jean-luc this way? I know I am nothing compare to them, but dont I deserve at least a little respect?

Ah yes! Thank you again, that was during the peercover mess. I ended up covering peercovers' development losses of 135,000 NXT personally (>20% of my holdings at the time) and the 10K from you reduced the pain to net 125,000 NXT outlay for trying to ensure we all had a place to trade NXT in a relatively decentralized way. For my troubles and outlay I was accused of trying to hurt NXT by suggesting that we use ripple.

Sorry to have forgotten, I had lumped that whole episode together.

To correct things, to date, other than neer.g's sponsorship, I have received less than 12,000 NXT in donations and have paid to peercover and several people directly:

http://87.230.14.1/nxt/nxt.cgi?action=2000&tra=2908061711788780811 90000 NXT
http://87.230.14.1/nxt/nxt.cgi?action=2000&tra=11922435045177123841 10000 NXT
via ripple:
rnMYMVrB1wo4u9n7aepenEFBunQ89B9L9d - 20500 NXT
rfxABqhGSqiX7PMAx4fJ44tME4m9pUBwfJ - 15000 NXT
rMm2eTsNaG2iABgqTVYqM8UdZGwL2vfZCV - 2000 NXT

So after working for three months at 80+ hours per week, I will get to a breakeven point. All during this time constantly being accused of doing horrible evil things. It is not like I am asking for fanboys who cheer everything I do, but the constant second guessing and arm chair quarterbacking of my efforts is really discouraging.

People complain that there is no incentive for small NXT holders to forge. I implement nodecoin to address this. Now people complain nodecoin will somehow magically destroy NXT

People complain that stakeholders arent doing anything, even though there are >10 million NXT in bounties in addition to unclaimed coins. Which by the way, if I didnt push really hard, would be getting very close to being vaporized.

I tried to get people to help figure out NXTlayers. I was shouted down and my ideas were equated to a Ddos attack and most seemed to agree. i was told not to come up with new ideas, and to just wait for other people to finish what they are working on before I do anything.

I propose automated crosschain transactions. I am told to stop dreaming of impossible things. Of course, a few weeks later a 5 million NXT bounty appears to implement automated crosschain transactions.

Lacking any help, even though I had funding, I started to create my vision of NXTlayers. I proposed automated gateway. Again people said gateways are centralized. I came up with multisig gateways. People complain it is not perfect.

The big stakeholders are not the problem. It is the constant negativity that is the problem.

Take today. I have spent all day and all my energy fighting with people that somehow nodecoin will destroy NXT.
My track record of saying we should do XYZ, the community calls me all sort of names and says XYZ is a bad idea. Then a few weeks later, everybody is gung ho about XYZ.

This has happened quite a few times and I am getting tired of it. If you are a developer and can help me implement nodecoin, multisig gateway, NXTmixer, NXTcash, then help me. If you are not, then ask questions I will happily give you my thinking on a subject. That is a lot more interaction you have historically gotten with any dev other than wesley. But unless you are sure you are right, please no more unsubstantiated claims about, well anything. If you are going to make a claim, substaintiate it. Dont just state as fact some fear you might have. Other people reading this forum could easily misinterpret and is that really what you want?

To implement the "impossible" takes a positive mental attitude. Which I have totally lost, at least for today. When this thread becomes less negative, I might get the inspiration to do some more coding. until then I am on vacation.

Congratulations anti-nodecoin camp wins.

They seem intact - why don't you pay yourself & others, you are investing your time in this?!?

CfB:

Can we get devs from "the outside" to work for these bounties?

Why? This was supposed to cover whatever expense you might need to, including salaries for everyone involved, including you (at least part of them)!

The completion bonus fund should be higher but I don't see why not to cover your manhours (and others) from my donations.

Can we have a clear picture on the status of my donation? Where they have been spent? How? We need transparency in this I think..

James

I appreciate what you are doing, and I'm sure most everyone else here does as well. I'll send you some nxt when I get to a trusted computer - what's your preferred address?

Your ideas and work are going to receive criticism, because everyone here is financially and emotionally invested in nxt. I just wish that people here would not resort to claiming that nxt is doomed if their ideas don't win out. A community of people that is constantly at each others throats will ultimately damage the nxt experiment.

Yes, that is the budget for NXTcash operating expenses, but the NXTcash completion bonus fund http://87.230.14.1/nxt/nxt.cgi?action=100 has 33,000 NXT in it.

I am assuming I cant pay myself anything from the NXTcash operating budget, so it falls into the same category as the NXTcommunityfunds (other than neer.g's setaside for me)

James

On january 3rd, I donated 10 k to you jl777  if i remember correctly

Keep up the good work

I'll just continue to ramble here….  I don't usually drink this much coffee.

To get Nxt into people's hands, we should offer them stuff that they can ONLY get through Nxt. That's more important than getting my grocery store to accept Nxt right now, as I see it. Nxtopia is on the move. They just don't post everything here. Salsacz is taking good initiatives too, nontransparent though.  

I propose, that we bring some personal visions to the table. Some ideas have been posted, but most are lost in the thread. That's why I started the newsletter - to keep Nxters updated, but also to make us remember what we have. Let's give the new committees some ideas to work with. Not that they should just fund them, but because they have to tie it all together (good luck!! ), and because by talking about where we want Nxt to go, AND HOW, we might just be able to get it there, and get Nxt over the ramp.

I've noticed that "cloning" others'  work seems to be very popular in this crypto world, but let's remember that we are sailing this ship up river together, wanting it to succeed. Right now, Nxters may be sitting in each corner of the world, programming the same services, because we don't communicate very well, and that's a pity. It happened with the clients. And the websites. And the social marketing. It will happen again, and it slows us down.

Various discussions in this thread have shown, that we are very different people. This can be seen as the achilles heel of our Nxt Community, but IMHO it's our greatest force too, if we choose to use it as such. Every single stakeholder should have a vision for Nxt. We all see different opportunities. But what binds us together is that Nxt can make it (all) come true. If we take action, that is.

1M NXT for zerocoin implementation

+1

It's like putting an extra engine on a Prius to please people who like burning gasoline.

I have no RL income, all my income comes from crypto. I am currently working on a three month contract funded by neer.g for $2000 USD/month paid in NXT. Based on the number of hours I work, it is about minimum wage, but that is all I need to cover RL expenses.

If my performance is insufficient (or I inadvertently destroy NXT) I dont imagine my contract will be renewed after May 12th

My charter is to do the community's will, so when the community is divided, I need to figure out what to do instead of coding.

I am in the curious position of having authority over millions of NXT, but since there was nobody who would sign up to do the bounties fulltime, I decided it was best if I just implemented what I saw best for NXT. Due to conflict of interest concerns, I cant authorize payments to myself for my dev work, not that I have actually formally released anything yet.

James

P.S. There have been some kind donations to me personally, but I think so far it is less than 2000 NXT total.
