Topic: NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information - page 677. (Read 2761645 times)
It's been great over the last couple of months to see the Nxt community continually come together and innovate this crypto. Now, we appear to be moving foward towards improvement, promotion and adoption, sometimes, separately. So, I asked myself, what could be done to perhaps encompass all of the above and it came to me.
In my spare time, I am the president of my local Rotary Club. Yearly, we offer 2 $1,000 USD scholarships for prospective college students. You would be amazed at the response our community and the participants show in receiving such a trivial amount in the grand scheme of things. At best, it's enough to pay for books. This kids don't just get good grades, they also participate in extra curricular activities, volunteer and follow our process to become nominated and finally chosen to receive the Scholarship.
Nxt is not a charity, but we are obviously charitable and in fact are looking for ways to improve and promote Nxt.
Hence, I would like to propose a Nxt Incubator/Scholarship Promotion.
The purpose of this project is to foster Innovation and Promotion from participants. The basic concept is participants must develop some type of innovation that adds real value to the Nxt Economy. I won't waste my time giving examples simply because, what we are possibly looking for, has never been mentioned, and if so, perhaps not implemented. So I would leave it to the potential participants to make their proposals.
The basic requirements of accepted proposals would be as follows:
What every project they submit, must follow a certain path, which includes;
1. Develop
2. Implement
3. Promote
4. Adopt
Which I will refer to as Nxt DIPA
It is one thing to come up with a great idea, it's even better when you can build it, but what really makes a difference is when the former is done and you get individuals to actually adopt your idea and share it with others.
So, we are looking for a multi-faceted approach to innovating Nxt and encouraging those not necessarily aware of Nxt to participate in a scholarly and social manner. We can obviously begin the campaign by promoting on a myriad of forums ranging from Angel Investor Forums to inner city tech schools. You'd be suprised what a difference a couple of books or supplies can make to an impoverished business or education facility.
We would need to come up with a committee to foster the projects and provide guidance and feedback to participants as they move from the application process towards to the development process and reward decision.
I believe there should be clear guidelines of expectations, deliverables, guidelines etc....
How much and how often, is not really important at this point. I am just looking to guage the communities interest.
I will personally donate 25,000 Nxt towards this venture when it becomes a reality.

People, please don't use third party websites to check hashes. It defeats the purpose of the hash.
If you're using Windows, download this to check the hashes easily and quickly. It's open source and free:

http://onlinemd5.com/ is recommended on the download page of nxtcrypto.org and until now it worked. Anyway I use ubuntu and with the command from the terminal the sha256 do match

oh, i only checked the title. i get the same as yours: B0A036C7D07F4583400BF3D218F635A78508E83B0E440DEB7B35BCA9A8933150

http://localhost:7876/update.html wouldn't work for some reason on both Chrome and Firefox... so I used http://onlinemd5.com/.
you are supposed to calculate SHA256 , not shA1. Also update.html didn't work because worker_256.js was in the wrong folder (which the new 0.8.2e fixes)
Yes... there is an option to calculate SHA256 and I got the above.

I got 5 NXT from 16228559550138619285 - thank you for whatever that was,,,, if it was a mistake PM me and I'll send it back...

It fails the check for some reason. Your problem. I'm fine.

Thank you dear Mr. Stackeholder, what a generous move!! 
This is so cool!
I think we would all appreciate if more big stakeholders did what 7017504655955743955 has done today, especially top 50 accounts which are all from 5 million to 50 million NXT.
To them to spread 100,000 like 7017504655955743955 did would be nothing but this would show even more greatness of this community and this project.
In the end, doing something like this would just raise the worth of NXT in a long run and paradoxically their main stash would be worth much more than this little part that they have possibly disbursed to this hard working community.
Just something to think about.
Once again BRAVO for 7017504655955743955!!
It seems everyone received that except me
I didn't either... but I did receive a mysterious 50 NXT from 5439682670021714056 about 5 days ago. It's definitely appreciated! I'll probably use the 50 to buy some shares in the new Nxt mobile IPO, or to tip a project.
Ahhhh, every day is like Christmas morning in Nxt world... mysterious gifts, client updates... lots of shiny presents to unwrap.

It would be nice if there was a multisend feature in the client. If I could line up all the addresses of hard working nxt'ers and one-click send a given amount, say 1000nxt (as in each would get 1000) I'd be very inclined to give more regular donations in just this way. Sitting at the computer and putting in 50 or how ever many transactions is a PITA.
If you're using GNU/Linux you can use this:

Just tested it out and it seems to work.
Excellent. Will have a look. Would be nice to bookmark and assign identities to accounts within the client too. Then we could really get this donation party started! lol.

I need suggestion for iNxt (iPhone app) what di you want to see next?
A good UI
I will need someone that can make the UI...
Someone interested?
Announcing the first online NXT Wallet
https://wallet.mynxt.info
Features:
- Easy to use
- Access your NXT from anywhere
- Responsive layout: works in PC/Mac, Tablets and Phones
- Send/Receive NXT
- See your balance in NXT, USD and BTC
Is it safe?
We made it as secure as possible, keeping in mind that as we all know nothing in the online world can be claimed to be 100% secure.
If you want the details: All accounts are 50 random generated characters long, we use AES256 to encrypt each account address twice (once using a site-wide key and once using your master password). We also only accept SSL connections and hash all passwords (salted).
There have been discussions on the main NXT Bitcointalk thread around possibly making it even safer by doing the encryption/decryption of the account on the client side (as opposed to the server side) and we are looking into this.
Launch Promo
To make things more exciting, as a launch promotion we are giving away NXT in the following way:

Launch Promo
To make things more exciting, as a launch promotion we are giving away NXT in the following way:
- The first 100 people to create an account at https://wallet.mynxt.info and post their NXT account ID (from the mynxt.info wallet) here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=477526.new#new will get 10 NXT.
- In addition, ONE of these 100 people will get a grand prize of 1000 NXT. The winner of the grand prize will be determined by the last 2 digits of the NXT Block ID of height 75000 (you can check the latest blocks here: http://www.mynxt.info/blockexplorer/)
AND THE WINNER IS....
Samx
Block 75000 ID was 2732552389739142879
Congratulations to Samx and thank you to everyone that created your online wallet and those that participated in the promo. I will deposit the 1000 NXT into the winner's account in the next couple of hours.
