Topic: NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information - page 639. (Read 2761629 times)
Is anyone of the german guys willing to work with me on an article about NXT for Wikipedia (not for our nxt-wiki)?
Now we should focus on more important things, because that´s the future.
I bet BCNext would approve this.

Q: Why was the initial funding cancelled suddenly with few people?

His answer is not convincing.A: I wanted Nxt to be launched by the community, not by a single person. Success of Nxt is supposed to be achieved by work of a LOT of PEOPLE.
It is if he set 21 BTC as a trigger. Coz Mastercoin collected 4000 BTC, it's obvious that 21 BTC is not enough to get enough ppl on board. Even VisaCoin collected 100+ BTC.
Maybe, BCNext wanted to say, "It's not what you start with, but what you make of it."

U could add that he skipped NRS 2.13 and released 2.14 right after 2.12.
Nice: NXT is mentioned in an article about crypto-alternatives on Germanys biggest online-newspaper:

close but not the same
but there's always a way... I thought that might be the reason.
Now, what does the number 21 symbolize?

Satoshi chose 8 decimal places after the point coz he expected that one day 1 BTC would be worth 1'000'000 USD. In such the case 1 satoshi would be worth 1 cent.
BCNext chose 21 BTC coz he expected that one day 1 billion NXT would be worth the same as 21 million BTC. In such the case we would see 1'000'000-fold growth.

By the way, the *real* irony here is that we have a guy putting references to 1984 into his Genesis account and here we are willing to take his word without proof.
That doesn't reflect bad on BCNext, but on us!
To wax philosophical: people create their own chains.
If we want Nxt to be succesful, we need to lose the God-complex.
I am grateful for Nxt having been created, and also would like to have the talented person that created it on board. But just waiting for him to bail us out (and this is not meant as a criticism for all the people who *are* working hard!) is self defeating.

Good point. Maybe, BCNext is intentionally being vague, because he wants us to be independent and think for ourselves.
Maybe, the "fatal flaw" is our reliance on him.
It wouldn't surprise me in the least.
For a "decentralised" project to depend on a central figure and even create some kind of "myth" around him is not needed.

What do you think about limiting max forging power to anywhere between 1% to 5%
I didn't come to a conclusion yet.
** Cryptsy Update **
I just heard back from Paul (met him at the Miami Bitcoin Conference), they are looking to implement Nxt in the next few weeks.
I talked with Big Vern @Skype and I introduced CfB to him - he said he will talk to Paul about it (to get help from CfB if needed).I just heard back from Paul (met him at the Miami Bitcoin Conference), they are looking to implement Nxt in the next few weeks.
Fantastic. I did a virtual introduction with all the different devs including CfB and Jean-Luc a few weeks ago as well... they have the resources, now it's just a matter of finding time to implement. Nxt keeps taking another step.
Let me make a suggestion to keep this ball rolling. We should ask the Cryptsy folks to document what was required to get NXT plugged into their system. Then we should turn right around to allwelder or some of the other Chinese NXT members and see that this info from Cryptsy gets communicated to BTX38.com in China. We need to be on both of these exchanges as soon as possible. It is the only way we are going to get exposure to a new pool of capital to buy NXT and get our exchange volume back up.

BTC38 choose coins from their database to put it into trading system.
So we need first to let Nxt be added into their database.
I have contact with them,there will be another vote recently.
So now,we first need to register on www.coin38.org,fill personal profile,prepare for the next voting for adding Nxt to their database.
Come on,Nexters.
I don't understand what I have to do here. Can you explain it more?
you can follow my visions about Nxt:
Decentralized internet and Nxt solutions

His answer is not convincing.
This is the same bullshit like "he wanted 21BTC to get invested so he lost his chance in the IPO".
If he wanted a lot of people to start Nxt with, he hadn´t stop the IPO so suddenly.
But that is history. Now we should focus on more important things, because that´s the future.
Symbolism is very important. BCNext has a reason for doing everything. Do not ignore what he is trying to convey.
2kewl4skewl, we are usually in agreement here, but on this topic I have to disagree for a couple of reasons.
The arbitary 21 BTC limit has been the biggest headache for all of us and a tumor on our marketing abilities. EVERYONE uses it against us. I just had to write long ass paragraphs to defend this YET AGAIN over at reddit 30 minutes ago.
If the reason for choosing 21 BTC was some sort of pseudo-numerological symbolism then I am genuinely scared of what else he has planned.
I respect him and therefore, I try to understand him.
I respect him too, but he's obviously not immune to critcism.
Anyone who has spent time in the community knows how much of a headache the "cut short IPO" has been for marketing. I'm sure I hear that attack several times a day and have for over 2 months.
Even PROMINENT crypto players stay away from NXT because we have got this "premined BS" label all over us, JUST because the IPO was cut short.
All I am saying is that if his reason for this was nothing other than symbolism, which he didn't warn people of pre-IPO, then that was a very, very poor move from a marketing / getting people to adopt NXT perspective
EVERYONE UPVOTE
I have already sent out a SWARM to my SWARM group, but since this is a reddit swarm (algorithm put preference on new links) for a rare occurence I think it's best to involve the whole community.
We need to try to get the news of Klee's NXT donation to the frontpage of the /r/futurology subreddit.
Don't create more than 1 username to vote and comment as reddit detects several upvotes from 1 computer and turn them into downvotes instead.
Simply upvote and comment something positive about NXT and the research (if it interest you): http://www.reddit.com/r/Futurology/comments/1z2f4p/cryptocurrency_enthusiast_donates_1_million_nxt/
