Amsterdam: looks like McJavar is a coder too. He also wanted to represent us in Berlin, so he also has got the funds he got in January. Then he said he will spend them on trip to Amsterdam conf. He also said he will make business cards etc. So he could be the speaker guy.

Thanks to everyone that has filled out the survey so far!
I will be compiling these and sending them on.  Smiley

For those who haven't, or who just haven't seen it, the survey can be found here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.5487600

Treat it like a game, and don't make it too heavy Smiley

If nothing else, your thought might spark someone else's ideas.

Please would you also recommend Russian cryptowebsites where such texts could be published? Once I was trying to find them, but found only some financial
xakep magazine
I was tried to contact the administration for publishing the articles, but they do not answered to me


Also, http://bitnovosti.com
Their specialisation is Bitcoin in general, but I saw some news about Ethereum few days ago.

Anyway, good job.

This is a little slap-dash, so I apologize if it's unclear!

What is, in a few sentences, the "vision" behind Nxt?
An evolution of the Bitcoin concept, focused on agility and utility, that is born out of five years of Bitcoin blockchain evolution.  Nxt is a far more flexible "building block" for advanced decentralized systems that more accurately realize Bitcoin's vision than Bitcoin does.

Nxt addresses issues related to the hashpower race, "mining culture", and centralization of mining power (all related to Proof-of-Work implementation); transaction speeds/rates; and energy efficiency.

Nxt is not a cryptocurrency.  It is a cryptoplatform.

What is the purpose of Nxt?
Nxt demonstrates that lessons have been learned from Bitcoin, and that improvements can be made.  Its purpose is to serve as a "low-level" crypto platform.

What are the goals of Nxt?
- Displace all other "bitcoin-fork" altcoins by demonstrating Nxt's superior implementation of second-generation cryptoplatform features
- Serve as the foundation for the creation of truly decentralized applications, communications, and value exchanges by providing an application-agnostic system for building any number of applications
- Foster a community that functions as Nxt does: in a fully-decentralized manner

Where are we now?
In many ways, still at step one.  Until Transparent Forging, Account Control, Asset Exchange and Voting System features are fully implemented, Nxt is still "pre-1.0".  Moreover, the community still needs time to build:
- robust clients that value user experience and security
- toolkits for Nxt integration into other systems (for remittances, exchange, etc.)
- recognition and acceptance from key members of the Bitcoin community

What are the key issues with Nxt at this point?
1)  Much of the current work on Nxt is actually centralized, with BCNext/CfB as the source of that centralization.  Both people have suggested they are frustrated with this situation, but their inability to communicate clearly (for whatever reason: language barrier, paranoia, Yoda-syndrome, etc.) has kept it from evolving.  The fact that source code is now fully open should help attract new devs and cryptographers to the fold, but this will take some time.  

2)  We still lack a full slate of rich clients.  Several are CLOSE, but as long as major changes are still being regularly made to the Nxt core (changes to port numbers, configuration file formats, data storage formats, HTTP GET vs POST changes, the low-level API) it will be difficult for all of these clients to "catch up".  As a current example: almost none of the currently-available clients work "as-is" under Nxt v0.8.4e.

3) We lack respect, recognition, and buy-in from the Bitcoin community.  This cannot be underestimated.  Those of us in the Nxt ecosystem know that Mastercoin is easier under Nxt; that Protoshares is easier under Nxt; that Bitalo is easier under Nxt; that Ethereum is easier under Nxt; that Zerocoin is easier under Nxt.  We just need to convince the folks who are building those platforms.

What are our key target groups? Define at most three.
- The existing cryptocurrency community; specifically the core Bitcoin team and teams working on "Bitcoin 2.0" services
- Anyone who can reliably operate a Nxt node, hopefully as part of providing a service built on Nxt (remittances, applications, DAC, etc.)
- The greater user community.  Only a small fraction of average people know about Bitcoin; only a small fraction of those know about Nxt.

What are the current strategies to engage these groups? Name at most three.
- Build connections with key players in other cryptocurrency spaces
- Continue to build Nxt clients and services
- Leverage a framework of stakeholders, media outlets, and user communities to help disseminate information about what's new and exciting about Nxt

Name a few of the employed tactics in these strategies.
- Press releases for new features
- Involvement in charity fundraisers

What strategies and tactics aren't we using and cóuld be used?
- Evolve past the "swarm" method to build a communications framework for Nxt: a network of key contacts, identified by their areas of interest, as well as a system for generating appropriate information (press releases, coffee-chats, face to face meetings, etc.) for those audiences.
- Reach out to the technical community FIRST.  Get them to buy into Nxt and then spread the word to the rest of the world.  "Average Joe" should arrive at www.nxtcrypto.org to find a complete system ready to use; not the promise of one.  In other words: stop putting the cart before the horse, and start feeding the horse.
- Continue to maintain lists of Bitcoin and crypto conferences and meetups, and get real human beings out to those events armed with good information and tools

Well spotted. Can't believe I didn't check that myself, as I did some of the proofing work on that folder. Mea culpa.... Sad

The new2nxt needs a re-direct, or a full re-build, but I think a re-direct to nxtcrypto.org is the best short-term solution.

Right, to include everyone in this:

Quote
I would like some extra input from all of you, so I can forward it to my guys.
They are simple questions, but with big implications.

There is no "right or wrong" in these questions!

Quote
Quote
What is, in a few sentences, the "vision" behind Nxt?
I'm not looking for the right vison, but for what youthink is the vision. We don't need to agree, but we dó need it out in the open for now.

It is the vehicle to move from a centralized economy to a decentralized economy.

Quote
What is the purpose of Nxt?
Again, no right or wrong.

It is the instrument to move from being passive actors in the construction of our collective reality to become active participants

Quote
What are the goals of Nxt?
Same

removes trust points
low energy network

Quote
Where are we now?
So, basically, at what stage do you think we are at? I'm not looking for a good/bad judgement here. Just an honest appraisal of where we are.

in beta

you have to be technically minded to operate the system
have to simplify things for a less technical profile are interested

Quote
What are the key issues with Nxt at this point?
This will no doubt be connected with your earlier answers. Define a few key issues that really need to be addressed. Be honest!

assets exchanges. nxt must turn as the reference currency. nxt must convert in the nxt gold standard coin

I propose that for nxt can see as reference currency we must promote nxt utilization as a measure of consumer price index by country.

we must go to Statistics offices to invite tu use nxt for to reference price shopping basket.

In Search of a Stable Electronic Currency  perhaps Nxt?

ROBERT J. SHILLER is Sterling Professor of Economics at Yale.

Bitcoin, an experiment with a radically new kind of electronic money, has exhibited many of the characteristics of a speculative bubble. That was clear long before the collapse of the Bitcoin exchange Mt. Gox last week.

Bitcoin’s future is very much in doubt. Yet whatever becomes of it, something good can arise from its innovations — even if the results are very different from its current form or its numerous competitors. What I have in mind isn’t another wave of price speculation. Instead, I believe that electronic forms of money could give us better pricing, contracting and risk management.

Quote
What are our key target groups? Define at most three.
Keep it short. We could talk about this for hours, but I just want a short easy list.

some small country

some collective. eg I have an idea in my mind. small cooperatives selling green energy using the currency with customers who only want to consume green energy

some sectors like university center that use the currency to its internal activities

some casino gaming company

Quote
What are the current strategies to engage these groups? Name at most three.
Strategies are conceptual. "Reach out to the main public" Show that Nxt is fun

generate a coin on top of nxt specified for these examples and promote its use. for example lowcarbon energy coin

Quote
Name a few of the employed tactics in these strategies.
A tactic is an action you take to execute the strategy. "Organise an online show match" "Get articles published in big newspapers/sites"

do seminars, meetings etc to explain how to use nxt

Quote
What strategies and tactics aren't we using and cóuld be used?

have several cases in real life where nxt is used to demonstrate its utility

we have to create several working groups to create new business formed by developers, marketers and specialists of the proposed business and create useful things with nxt

Quote
One of the first things my people told me is that these aren't explicit. We need to get them explicit. That way, we know what we are talking about. We don't need to agree, but we dó need to be clear.

I will post this over on the forums, too.

Please take some time to fill it out, so a) we ourselves define these and b) my guys don't have to come up with something that really isn't what we want, but we can't tell them why. Have fun, and thanks for your input! Smiley

The great looking Austin Trifold Brochures that went to the press this weekend (for good money) has links to incomplete web content.  The http://new2nxt.com/ is NOT READY for primetime AT ALL.  Is rickyjames the webmaster at http://new2nxt.com/


Can http://new2nxt.com/ simply be redirected to http://www.mynxt.org/ or http://www.nxtcrypto.org/ immediately please until adequate content is at http://new2nxt.com/


This is the kind of stuff that deserves attention as Nxt presents a more cohesive marketing front moving forward.

I would like to match the business cards I make for Coinsumm.it with the blue Nxt logo on the Trifold Brochures unless anyone has any other suggestions for logo use.  

However, Black cards with round large embossed gold Nxt logo on reverse with gold rectangular Nxt Logo on front with contact/web info would look slick too, just would not match Trifold Brochures.

- please begg for the speaker positions Smiley
- Contributing sponsor is probably our best choice, ther is probably some deadline here

- Every person inside now costs 12k Nxt. This could be worse or better by the time.. Cheesy

- I paid 300 Nxt for Business cards, 200 Nxt for stickers and infographic.

Nxt T-shirts was a gift, now I have got them so I can send/bring them
Raspi could be sent too Smiley

There might also be a chance to make a Nxt gathering during the event. Not everyone would buy a ticket, but we can get all Dutch, Belgium, British or even French/German people together, chat in the pubs on the evenings, but also: create some flashmobs / viral videos. And interviews. It could be done with 10-20 people...

I'd also like to have a relatively professional video maker/reporter blogger film some NXT reports from the conference, particularly if a serious NXTer is giving a speech/panel.


I didn't mention this before, but I have a very good friend who is a film maker for Dutch television. He also does one-man reports for television.
He has his own gear, and would probably be willing to do this for just food and drinks.
I'll send him an email tomorrow and report back.
