Topic: NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information - page 774. (Read 2761637 times)

Hey... I would like to know your take on the following... would it be a good idea for those getting prepared to establish a Nxt Asset to get funded through crowd funding platforms like https://www.startjoin.com/projects/discover/all?  
Think of it this way... if one issues a Nxt Asset and offers shares directly to the Nxt community... he/she would only be able to get funding from people that are already active in the Nxt community and/or from people that already own NXT.  What if Nxt Asset Exchange projects were to be introduced on platforms like StartJoin?  It could be clear in the terms that the gathered funds would be exchanged for corresponding shares of the respective Nxt Asset (which would be valued in NXT of course).
In other words... there will be conversation about Nxt Asset projects... ability for people to participate with Bitcoin but also with fiat (StartJoin accepts PayPal)...    
Edit:  Even if it is not a good idea for Nxt Asset Exchange projects to get funded through such platforms... maybe it would be wise for a marketing push for NXT to be added as a form of pledge.

I'm fixing bugs. This is not very fast coz I'm doing other things in parallel.

no problem, I understand, but at least there is some kind of reaction.

how far are we from decentralized P2P exchanges?

means difficult to come true instant transaction ?

Anyway, we need 3000 votes asap. https://www.mintpal.com/voting

Paying is OK, the bidder contest is wrong.

´What's unethical about paying for services?  If an exchange wants to list it and the payment amount is reasonable, why not?

I'm happy to announce that TwinWinNerD has just bought some of my lovely stickers.
Yay!
77 NXT for 5 stickers+postage, its a bargain.


Which made me think: Is this transaction the first time someone has purchased a physical item in exchange for NXT ?
I can't believe no-one has done it before us, but I don't remember seeing anything earlier on in this thread.

Woah, woah, woah.  I want to call a time out here for a few pages.

I'm not trying to be the Grinch here, but I STRONGLY think we've got to get a better handle on this whole process before we just start handing out NXT left and right to ANYBODY. 

The infrastructure spending thread has been open for all of about 36 hours.  Already we've got 9 projects in the queue and only 23 posts in the thread - less than 3 per project.  There is NO WAY we have given the proper amount of deliberation to what is being proposed here.   And a vote is being called for already if we haven't achieved agreement as a committee? 

Um...what's wrong with this picture?

I am a big believer in spreadsheets to collect all the data in one place and if ever there was a need for them, it's right now.   We need to generate a standard spreadsheet listing who is asking, what their project is, how much they want, and a link to a thread that talks about their individual project.  Just for starters.

We need to establish a rule that nobody gets a vote on their project for at least a week after they've proposed it to avoid the exact kind of rush to judgement that is happening here.  I would personally prefer at least two weeks, but I don't want anybody to think I'm TOTALLY crazy...

I also sort of thought there was gonna be some kind of vetting of people putting their names down for committees, where they would have to put in at least one post describing why they thought they were qualified to serve on a committee, what they wanted to accomplish there, blah blah blah, and um....we might actually VOTE IN A POLL to pick the top 5?

Instead it's just put your name down as a candidate and you're in?  On as many committees as you want?

So how is voting for funding going to work in a group of people like THAT?

Hey, I'm all for rapid progress but we've got to establish some kind of initial setup and standards here and PACE OURSELVES FOR THE LONG GAME or this bounty of NXT is going to be gone in a FLASH.

I say forget about voting NXT out of the treasury for at least a few more days and lets go back to setting up the committees themselves and the "paperwork" that defines the process we are about to embark upon..

...
Bribing exchanges to list NXT is a very short sighted (not to mention unethical) strategy.
We can better spend our hard-won NXT on getting a package together to help exchanges with NXT integration. I have a feeling opticalcarrier was going to look into it...... it should be a priority, anyhow.
If we make listing NXT as simple as listing any one of the zillion scrypt coins, then exchanges will come 2 us.

how do i add a pic on this? just downloaded dotnxt client and a error message came up saying report this to the devs? took a screen shot of the message but i dont no how to add it in a msg here?

I'm glad rickyjames is being conservative in distributing the funds.  The allocation of the community Nxt fund should be done with great care and thought.  Don't blow through all of it quickly.  The longer the funds are held the more valuable they will become and the more projects you can fund.

It's my belief that dollar parity is going to be here sooner than we all think.  Remember no more Nxt is being created.  We this happens the community will have $9 million at its disposal to fund projects.

Regardless of the USD value of the community Nxt fund remember, "You can only spend a dollar once."

Sometimes, we have to push things a little bit. But this "pay to be on exchange" smells a little fishy, yes.

Well, don't wanna take the wind out of your sails, but that doesn't sound to me like they decided to add Nxt. To me that sounds like Nxt is under consideration among with other coins, but has good community support so thats a plus.

Although I'm relatively new to the cryptocurrency scene and am still on a steep learning curve, I rate NXT very highly, first because it is cheaper and faster than Bitcoin, second because new coins can be built on top of it (making it an economic platform) and last but by no means least, the very strong community behind it.
