Is there any way to purchase larger amounts of NXT?
I have failed to do so, and I will most likely give up  Sad

I have signed up on DGEX.com, which looks awfully retro.
Anyway, I have learned that I can only withdraw 3 BTC per Day which is a no-no. Also, NXT withdrawals are made manually and may take up to 48 hours.
This is not a place I feel comfortable with.

Any serious alternatives, besides BTER where the Volume pretty much sucks?

cryptsy? Or trades here in trading thread.

Cryptsy also has not enough Volume. The complete order book doesn't even have the amount I want to buy.
Could you give me a pointer to the "trading thread"?

Perhaps post here

https://nxtforum.org/trading-exchanges/

and do trade with a well known original stakeholder

IMO the smart money trades off exchange, preferably using the bitcoin-otc web of trust. Using this forum's trust database is a distant second, considering how many people stay logged in all the time, and how many times bitcointalk itself has been hacked.

The exchanges are better suited for weekend warriors that fancy themselves day traders or small retail purchases.

Mt Gox is only the latest in a long line of cryptoexchanges that have lost significant amount of user funds.

Until the crypto economy is bigger, we probably won't see an exchange that does security and oversight correctly because the space just isn't big enough to afford a reliable service. The exchanges just can't come up with the capital needed to do it properly.

Instead we still have a bunch of pikers that take advantage of the low barrier to entry. They open an exchange and only realize they are in over their heads after their users' funds are stolen.

But who knows, when the floating point decentralized asset exchanges start cropping up, maybe centralized exchanges will be rendered obsolete. Decentralized exchange may be here before a well-funded and well-run centralized exchange emerges.

Cryptsy is pretty low volume too tbh. i sold 125k over a couple of days over there. granted the btc withdrawl took minutes which is always good.
Lophie on here seems to sell the odd chunk of nxt on here maybe worth speaking to him

If I did *criticize his code* then here is what he would do:

"I quit".

Then the "fan base" will say:

"James, we need you"

and he will come back without changing a line of code (proof of point his continual use of *binary floating point* despite *all my warnings* and even *my proof in code*).


Really? is he still using floating point? I thought he agreed in the end. Oh well...

(snip got knocked out from forging)

Yeah, sucks. Donate to the development fund and live happy ever after.

All those 50 million nxt aren't worth crap without continuous development and marketing guys.
He won't donate anything. He donated less than 0,1% of his stake to nxt development. Less than 1/3 of what he has forged.
He's a selfish dead weight, and won't see that if he helped his stake would worth much more, it's a sort of investment

nope, he is our fund for the future - he will be able to save Nxt when we will need to transform Nxt into the third phase of transparent forging and when we will have established some dev jobs for our future development. He already promised 10 percent of his stake for some development.

Yes, he also has a 3-5mil bounty out for Atomic CCT.  I believe he will distribute when the time comes.  No reason for him to go on a selling spree at this point.

So we have a machine making huge progress and has brilliant ideas. An important part of Nxt. But he uses floating point.

How do we handle this without blood?

wtf he still uses floating point?  Shocked Shocked Shocked

Indeed he has *bragged about it*.


wtf.... the techdev committee should just come out and say that nobody gets any unclaimed coins bounty from code uzilizing any kind of float data type.

I mean, I appreciate james' dedication and his skill in all the work hes doing, allbeit on no-quite-so trustless-systems work, as most likely they will be replaced by fully decentralized and trustless systems, but we just do NOT need any floating points running around

It would be nice if the tech committee came out and said anything at this point.  Haven't heard squat.

St. Louis Federal Reserve mentions NXT as a competitor to Bitcoin in their talk yesterday on slide #33 near the end of presentation. LOL... that tickled me...

Enjoy!

Everyone keep up the good work!

I get a "Method not found" error for "getrawtransaction"
Since I am using rawtransactions throughout, if PPC supports multisig in a different way, I will need to do some custom code for it to support it and forks of it, unless it is a simple typo?

edit: http://www.reddit.com/r/peercoin/comments/1uh7mu/multisig/ confirms no multisig with peercoin yet

Forget PPC for now.  Check out CGB https://github.com/cryptogenicbonds/CGB/blob/master/src/bitcoinrpc.cpp#L258

Code:
    { "getrawtransaction",      &getrawtransaction,      false,  false },

and https://github.com/cryptogenicbonds/CGB/blob/master/src/rpcrawtransaction.cpp

getrawtransaction is there it seems.  Nice.


Hey that would be nice, thanks for the heads up. I know that CGB is made from some knowledgeable devs, so it wouldn't surprise me if they "upgraded" the code,  but I don't know for sure.
Lets see what the lead coder of  CryptogenicBullion says, I wrote him a PM and am waiting on his answer.
