With respect: this is a glib, bullshit answer, and you can't prove the "most of us" part any more than you can prove the "BCNext did math analysis" part.

Three months in and we have no Whitepaper, no documentation of algorithms, and no modelling or statistical analysis.

The greatest irony of the great decentralized Nxt Ecosystem is that its core is centralized in an opaque, anonymous identity who only communicates to the world through a Belarusan Java programmer on contract.

One day soon, Nxt will be called out for this. It is Nxt's biggest flaw.


He found the fatal flaw and he is right.

BCNext likes the path Satoshi chose... Probably he'll leave the project in a couple of months staying anonymous forever
(I would do the same thing btw.)

As for the documentation, algos, etc., I don't agree: NXT is already open sourced enough,... maybe BCNext gives us more features, maybe not...

The real problem is the lack of guys that can understand the code, not just java syntax but the crypto currency specific voodoo

We need to recruit successors - we need young BCNexts, little Come-from-Beyonds (figuratively speaking of course  Grin)

And we need whales that give them enough incentives (=payments) to develop full-time.

To me that's the biggest flaw!

Has anyone seen this yet? If any of you are like me, the rest of bitcointalk pretty much gets ignored simply because this thread is a time drain.

I don't like seeing much about other cryptos here unless it's relevant to Nxt. XCP has been mentioned here more than a few times. It appears they had a major attack involving 150 BTC:

Quote
As many of you know, about a week ago, a hacker found a major security hole in the Counterparty protocol that enabled him to send XCP from anyone's address. He used this to send 35,000 XCP from the Poloniex wallet to himself, which he then deposited into his own Poloniex account. He then sold the XCP for 150 BTC and withdrew 115 BTC. Following that, he explained the security hole and offered to return the BTC. He has still not returned the BTC, but my correspondence with him is ongoing.

Users have asked to see the correspondence and the Counterparty developers have all given the OK on publishing it, so here it is: https://poloniex.com/correspondence.pdf

There was more to his message from today, which I have not included because it arrived after the developers gave the OK.

Poloniex was hacked using a bug in XCP, which is solved by now.

U have source code. It's enough to get the rest. Don't u think that one needs IQ > 200 to do the analysis?

It seems we have trouble analyzing TF. There are slightly different opinions on how it works. Can't you help us a little here? Is TF fully implemented?

what kind of font best matches the nxt logo for things like the the text on my silver bar that will say "10 troy ounces of 999 fine silver"?

*edit* rounded letters because the nxt logo is made out of circles but it need to look professional at the same time

Try Gill Sans, it is the font used in the logo.


rofl. no way. this is a process. im working on a final sketchup of my mould. then i have to hire a cad expert to interpret it into cad. then i have to find a machinist to mill the mould for me. then i have to buy silver and a forge. then i have to pray to jesus that it actually works!

The problem right now is purely the handcrafting. It has nothing to do with the actual silver gateway. You might consider getting help from professionals to not 'waste' your precious time on this? Or just have fun figuring it out  Wink

We need a probability distribution for these streaks. Absolute numbers are irrelevant.

To be blunt - why don't you just fix it then (instead of asking me to do more work on it)?


No time right now. Sorry.

Although the algo still doesn't match what is really going on (if anyone else can make it more correct then please modify it and post the updated results and source) I thought I just do one "slightly more realistic" 10 year analysis:

best_streak( s ) = 19
best_combined_streak = 2
(combined the first 6 accounts)


Thanks for the new model.

What now. Wait for CfB to explain, what the magic in TF is we don't know yet? Get another guy trying to make your code even more realistic? Talking about consequences if your result is the reality?

I am scheduled to speak on the Decentralized Applications Panel with Vitalik Buterin of Ethereum.org and David Johnston of Mastercoin on a panel moderated by Adam Levine of Let's Talk Bitcoin.  I will be prepared to discuss and/or debate various aspects and use cases of
Decentralized Applications and Decentralized Autonomous Corporations while emphasizing the competitive advantages of the NXT cryptocurrency ecosystem.

Wait, mintpal aren't adding nxt? But we had the votes... I put money into that. Have they stated that they have no intention or are waiting for some kind of guidance or instruction?

I put money into it too and I've told them add it or give me my BTC back - each time I tweet them they say they are going to do it but "I aint seen nothing yet"

They say they are going to add or pay you back?

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/
- done!

Done. everyone should do it.

Anon, are you close to 'firing up' your silver bullion gateway?

I would like to remind you all that PeerExplorer.com runs a great program to award nodes and makes it an incentive to run public nodes.
 I am constantly creating some new caches to encourage nodes' owners.
How are the incentives set up exactly?
- there is small FAQ at peerexplorer.com under the "I am a sponsor":
Quote
Register a account.
Create a new cache. (click small seet near "Created caches")
You can fill in a sponsor message if you like (url, advertise etc...).
Now transfer to the NXT account the amount you like  (min. 2 NXT).
Cache should be automatic activated in 5-30 mins.
Now you can enjoy how someone is earning your reward.

Later your "caches" would gradually become "Rewarded".

Agreed (minus the vulgar language), we can market AE when it's finished with testing and we are happy with it.

Btw, who is really testing it? I got only a few bug reports.

I don't really need AE working (I'm not a trader and don't need to IPO anything), so I can wait till April. The community should focus on testing if it does need AE.
