Surveillance. Physical pressure. Threats etc.

Yes...  they do use such methods...  but we are talking about a whole network here.

Cryptocurrencies do not change that when you come back to the real world.

Are you referring to exchanging crypto for fiat?

We are talking about the whole network, that's correct. But the real world is patient. Theses methods can be performed step by step. Very slowly.

I was referring to everything. Cryptos solve a class of problems. The issues mentioned above not.

Anyway, I would like to see such an analysis.

So has anyone researched the potential regulatory problems that we have for Asset Exchange and/or Cross Chain Transactions? That is, do we run into issues in the US for being a MSB, and do we need to do KYC and AML stuff.

I'd be willing to do the research and draft up a whitepaper if people would find that helpful or informative. My hope is that we can find a loophole that doesn't kill AE before it ever takes off, and the whitepaper would be the community's position on the issue(s).

my guess is that as long as the people maintaining the systems for our temporary coin exchange arent in the jurisdiction, and that the systems arent operated in the jurisdiction, then theres no issue.

when true full decentralized CCT comes though, I dont see an issue at all.

This was my first thought as well. But why not letting him digging up something. Maybe, there is more than we can imagine.

So...  how exactly will you/they/it get me (or anyone else for the matter) to shutdown the Nxt server in order to kill the AE?     Huh

I would like to see something like this.

Maybe, you could additionally explore the issue enlightenment regarding gambling addiction. I consider the AE as a place where many people can loose their money. We actually do not need regulation but ways of how to enlighten participants about gambling/loosing money etc. as some countries (e.g. Germany) require such thing in case of financial instruments.

Da F*ck are you talking about?... Yeah, I imagine we will run into a few regulatory problems lol.

But seriously, my impression has always been that cryptocurrencies themselves were the loophole.

ATTENTION!
The following roles have to be filled in order to speed up the AE development (Atomic Crosschain / AE Gateway) of James!

JAVA Developer
- with knowledge about Bitcoin protocol (or a really fast learner)

Tester / Power User (up to 3 people)
- we need at least one full time Tester / Power User (but part time would be also ok)
- with some technical knowledge preferably
- experience in writing testcases would be great

I haven't touched Java for years (I prefer Python/JS nowdays), but I can wear my "power user" suit and set up / maintain a Gateway, as well as test the network.

OK, so the "e" doesn't necessarily stand for experimental...
atm 0.8.5 is experimental and we should test it on test network (this corresponds to what is displayed on update.html)...
but, new and inexperienced users should still be pointed to the 0.7.6 download?

I don't know. The 0.7.6 will no longer be maintained, 0.8.5 has bugfixes, but also new features relative to 0.8.3, so it may have other bugs.

We need a QA team even more than we need java developers. There is only so much testing that I can do myself. Even when we have unit tests one day, we will still need functional testing. At the end, it should be the QA team that declares a release stable.


Hi Jean-Luc,

The Nxt is a brilliant product, and support multi-language and easy deploy will make it better, yes there are many third-part "easy use" client, but a one-click setup client is good to see on official website:), you know 80% people in this world has no linux experience even bat file on windows Sad.

About multi-language, I see languages are hardcode in html file, is it possible to support multi-language in future version? I can help on Chinese translation:)

Thanks.

+1

I think there needs to be someone assigned to newb outreach. I can only imagine what it would be like for someone with only basic computer knowledge trying to stay up to date with the updates, editing batch files, troubleshooting, etc. Hopefully the new Marketing person will allocate some funds towards this end. By the way, I voted for brooklynbtc for marketing comittee as he seems like someone who recognizes this problem and will address it.

I think I don´t have to explain why this feature is needed and what it would do with the price of Nxt... Smiley

Any volunteers in the community?

Please let me know about your thoughts!

I'll probably be able to participate soon ...

Same here. This should be in the swarm thread on nextcoin.org
Another note: in most of websites we see nxtcoin or nextcoin. Rarely just Nxt or Next, reserved for us nxters apparently. This will get more and more confusing as it goes - at some point we need to clarify and make decisions (already done for "Nxt" I believe), and communicate to every website where our community is mentioned.

Nxt is an ecosystem, yes.. We have Nxt messaging, Nxt asset exchange, but also just Nxt coin. I don't see what's wrong with that.

Me either. From that perspective nxtcoin totally makes sense, I agree. I still think there is some confusion between nextcoin and nxtcoin. Surely this is not a big deal, but maybe an educational bounty to formalise and list the naming conventions in an official manner would not be that bad.

In Search of a Stable Electronic Currency  Nxt? Grin

ROBERT J. SHILLER is Sterling Professor of Economics at Yale.



http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/02/business/in-search-of-a-stable-electronic-currency.html?ref=business&_r=2

Mark Karpeles, second from left, attended a news conference after his company, Mt. Gox, filed for bankruptcy.DealBook: Erosion of Faith Was Death Knell for Mt. GoxFEB. 28, 2014....

With electronic software in the background, we can improve on the Chilean idea and make it more useful. First, we should use more evocative words and avoid jargon. I’d suggest calling the unit of account a “basket.” A basket is a simple description for something rather complicated. In its basic form, it is the equivalent of one day’s common consumption items, like the local marketbasket of typical purchases that already underlies the Consumer Price Index. The value from one base year would be chosen so that, with inflation, the price of a basket in local currency terms would rise.

+1. Considering the diversity of the geographic markets, we could need more people in marketing committee. I wonder if we can have 7 persons in the marketing committee instead of 5.

I think we are all waiting so much! Very exciting, but we need at least an official ann few days prior to launch, so as to be prepared or at least available. I want to live that excitement again, that we all had during AS - can't wait

Gimme Date and I fire up the countdown Grin www.nxtcountdown.com

If you can shoot some awesome screenshots of the AE on a client that'd be great. Put the pictures underneath the video.

A question;This is what I see when I open the website; https://i.imgur.com/uWWu4nn.png

Could you remove the text "Nxt developers are.....Live date not determined"?

Lift the countdown and video a little up, so the video is not cut in half when you open the website (see screenshot). That would look better.  Wink

For the screenshots of a client I would make a small/medium horizontal smooth line under the video and put 2 or 3 screenshot next to each other.

Maybe it's also a good idea to add http://www.nxtclients.org/ somewhere

  I understand that NXT is bigger than the market price and bigger than a few mentions on podcasts.

 I understand that NXT can radically change the way the global economy works, cut out the fat cats and the government and let people trade freely and affordably amongst themselves.

 BUT NXT needs help it get there!

 I live in New York City, and I understand marketing with no budget. I have worked and managed in Michelin listed restaurants for almost 10 years now, and understand how to get the word out.

 I want to create awareness based on features and functions, not by following what DOGE did, podcasts, or hoping our Memes make it big on Reddit.

 I have connections with real honest to goodness Wall Street bankers, not that they are honest or good... I even sold one $10 worth of NXT at a holiday party!

 I am currently involved with the NXTopia project, creating a roleplay style sandbox MMO where you can buy, sell, and CREATE items in NXT. We have a great team and think this is going to be huge.

 I have been in NXT since mid-december, through the DDoS, past the Alias Auction, and into the future. I went all in on NXT and currently personally hold 340,000 that I have purchased, earned from bounties, and traded from LTC mining.

Thanks, and looking forward to the MOOON!  -jefdiesel
