Hmmm....

I remember somebody raised this as a possibility last week, but was booed off the stage and told to work on stuff that is more near term.

Oh, that was me

So, I am not so crazy to believe that we can get fully trustless gateways and even automated DACs that can do cross chain operations. I wish you were there last week. I guess I should have reiterated that I got the idea about indistinguishability obsfucators from Vitalik butern's reddit page. I'm not smart enough to understand the maths, but I am smart enough to recognize the potentials of new algos.

Anyway, I hope nobody will get upset if I suggest that the NXT VM team make sure that they design things so DACs that do crosschain, offchain operations and just generally external to NXT actions are possible.

My point with the NXTplugins is that by putting outputs of plugins into the blockchain in a way that doesnt require trust, we can expand NXT to incorporate whatever we can design the NXTplugins to do properly. My guess is that with a constrained set of operations and strict requirements as to how the NXTplugin is implemented, we can eventually get a secure architecture that allows for submission and verification of thousands of NXTplugins that will all be listed on the NXT plugin store.

By creating the infrastructure that allows easy creation of third party plugins, including validation, source release requirements and whatever else is needed, NXT will indirectly be able to reach ANY market segment that a NXTplugin can be created for.

All of them secured by being in a decentralized NXT blockchain.

Sorry, can't do that now. This would require much more fundamental changes, new block and transaction versions at the least.

I will think about it tonight and will improve it. Thanks.

Made me laugh, as I have been talking with James about a "Federation of Gateways" today.

I mean, the way the current javascript client is doing it, whatever this technology is called. I didn't plan to touch that part myself, I am not familiar with HTML5 push.

How does your client currently work, only by making javascript calls to the http api? Is it just a bunch of html and javascript files that need to be in a directory served by jetty? Because I am considering switching to embedding jetty in 0.8 or later, but of course need to plan how to accommodate your client.

If it's anything like the *real* Roman voting system, this means most people would have a useless vote, the fatcats would always win, and you would have to keep buying votes to get things done  

Roman "democracy" was a total and utter sham.

reminds me of Bioshock Infinite...lol

Haven't read latest posts so sorry if it has been answered already:

Anyone knows what the dgex investment opportunity is about? They were not very clear. I sent an e-mail but I'm a bit hectic lol I have money (not BTC/NXT though but guess it can be sorted) but ofc need so much more information before deciding anything.

Thanks

Vox populi actually makes sense, at least to me.


But I like many suggestions.


Also "Totum maior summa partum."  The whole is greater than the sum of it's parts (because NXT has many features and because it's has a community that works in synergy)

this is much more interesting than it seems at first. having private data sections within code would solve many
problems, e.g. to create real smart software agents and also fully trustless gateways.

I am proposing that once wesley's client is finished it should be the standard client for every new Nxt release!

It looks brilliant, wesley you did it.  

** Big News **

Nxt (along with Peercoin) will be one of two official currencies at Trekcon Springfield:

http://www.trekconspringfield.com/

We will have access to quite a bit of media as well as tie-ins with Star Trek actors at the event. I will be working with local companies prior to the event to help support Nxt.  More details to come, still working on the logistics.  Here's a video we put out when we added Peercoin:

Yes, that's me in the video. The guys are already lining up interviews with local tv and radio stations, we'll also be able to take part in that promotion.

** Update **

This isn't a small event, they've rented out a huge space at the expo center. The realistic target is 1500+:

Please Mr. whale, one more dump, fill my order!

CURSE YOU! 

The future is NXT is nice, because I already bought that alias a month ago 

I agree 100%!

I posted a topic about the PR and promotion of Nxt: https://nextcoin.org/index.php/topic,3983.msg37576.html

I guess that we can solve the "latin issue" only by voting.

Are you serious?

I took control of the subreddit on 2. February and made the design on 3. February.

It's only 10 days since then and there are already 175 subscriptions and currently 16 NXTers are online. Alone in this month we got 1400 uniques and over 8000 pageviews (in just 10 days!).

And this without ANY promotion or marketing effort. (This will come ones Nxt has a nice and finished client and a good starter website)

Direct links would be a huge help right now.  As I'm walking exchanges through Nxt, this allows them to play with the different options.
