We have the statistics... but since it is for 20 languages, this job will be always very underpaid

I would say check with joefox.
He can give a better opinion on how much work was put in.

I translate the wiki myself, so I am bound to be biased

What is Nxt?
2.   Right now, Nxt is completely decentralized digital currency. It is very fast, secure and green. All transactions and accounts are stored on the network.

3.   As a second generation cryptocurrency, Nxt has a lot to offer. There is no such thing as Bitcoin mining in Nxt, which means control of the network cannot be centralized in a data centre in Iceland. To maintain the Nxt network, users are rewarded with fees in return for generating blocks of transactions. This is how Bitcoin will work once all new coins are mined in 100 years.

4.   Nxt’s code already supports colored coins, which is method for designating specific coins and tying them to physical property. This lets Nxt run a decentralized asset exchange that can be used to trade Nxt for other goods - everything from other currencies to physical objects.  How does this work?  You send your asset to the Nxt exchange gateway and the gateway issues the asset on the Nxt network by creating colored coins to represent it.  Your asset is then transferable on Nxt, and can be traded with anyone. You can already use it as a kickstarter for crowdfunding projects.

5.   Nxt also has many social features. The Alias System can turn your Nxt account number into almost any name you want. You can use secure, private mechanisms for sharing DNS names, phone numbers, account numbers, and more. In addition, you can use the distributed, peer to peer network to chat and send messages to other users from the Nxt client interface. Nxt also implements a decentralized Voting System, so that users can collaborate to make important decisions, such as releasing the source code for the Nxt project to the public.

6. Nxt's Arbitrary Messages feature leads us to the true decentralized web.  A “ essage” can be any small piece of data, so it has broad potential - for example, torrent files have already been sent via this network. In the future, With multiple parallel blockchains running side-by-side, Nxt will be able to provide cloud storage and file sharing apps. These applications will be able to use different blockchains for different purposes: one for file storage, one for messages, and so on. Each app will use only a specific blockchain(s) and won't be spammed by the others.

7. Very soon the first game built on top of the Nxt network will be published: a decentralized Poker game. Nxt will provide a platform for easy creation of new currencies. They will be maintained on Nxt blockchain, but they will have their own environment. Nxt also supports integrated, peer-to-peer exchanges so you don’t have to pay high fees to service providers. It is very simple to create new applications for Nxt. it is almost like Lego. Developers can build anything they imagine on top of Nxt.

8. Currently, Bitcoin and Nxt are only pseudonymous, but additional functions based on Zerocoin and coin mixing services , built on top of Nxt, can provide a completely anonymous infrastructure. With the Zerocoin algorithm integrated within NXT, it will be mathematically infeasible to link the particular coins used by each user.

9.   Nxt is not a copy of Bitcoin!  Nxt builds on the ideas behind Bitcoin, but does it all with completely new code, written from scratch. Why? Analysis has shown that Bitcoin uses 2,900 times more energy to power the network than Nxt and that Bitcoin costs 820 times more than Nxt to power the same network. As a result, the Nxt network is very energy efficient. Nxt doesn’t require massive amounts of computing power, so it's very low in power consumption.  You can even run Nxt on iPhones, Android devices, and $35 computers like the Raspberry Pi.

10. Nxt is one step ahead of all other decentralized platforms thanks to its start as a cryptocurrency. It is now ready to become a completely new decentralized network. Nxt provides a powerful and flexible platform for developers, allowing them to easily develop new applications for Nxt. Thanks to great community behind it, as evidenced by the thousands of pages on the Nxt Bitcointalk “pub” thread, Nxt has achieved an unbelievable amount in very little time. Anyone can join this fantastic group of open minded individuals and make a positive contribution. For more information see nxt.org

whole wiki for February

Good news everyone.

Last but not least: Now on mynxt.org and nxtclients.org

Good point, Uniqueorn. You've articulated well a concern I've had. How specifically can we get NXT into more hands without giveaways or easier clients. We need to identify the market barriers and generate some fresh ideas!

The idea is great, but I think NXT is still too much in it's infancy too get "NXT accepted here" at Tesla.
If you look at the trading volume for a 24h period, it's basically 1 single Tesla.
If Tesla suddenly started accepting NXT then the big hoarders would all suddenly put in a order for a Tesla or 5 (for resale in fiat money), which would leave NXT's price dead.
How do I know this would happen? 99% of all merchants that accept Bitcoin INSTANTLY turn the money into fiat, Bitpay does this for them automatically. It works for Bitcoin because it has hundreds of thousands of users, but for NXT it would crash and burn instantly...


We have to work on getting NXT into more hands first before big merchants can accept us.

redsn0w: this is 4th time you post this text in this topic. Are you author of the text? I already prepared a little bounty for you in the gdoc yesterday

Good idea. Maybe we even should get in contact with them and tell them about our system with Raspi and solar energy where you can forge with for free.

Tesla is building a huge solar park at the moment for themselfs to create new batteries for cars.

I think we match with Tesla also. Let's try to make it official. Or is that too expensive?

I have a friend working there as an engineer.

If we cannot be a sponsor maybe we can talk about a NXT payment system to buy a Tesla car from their website.

Moving on quickly....back to marketing.

Just had an idea, so I'm gonna quickly post it, then run away for an hour or 2.....

NXT promotional vehicle.
Beg/borrow/steal/hire a nice vehicle (I'm thinking Tesla roadster here, tbh)
http://www.teslamotors.com/nl_NL/roadster

Get some NXT stickers/magnetic signs made up for it, then park it outside a conference.
Perfect for Toronto, considering how much money they want to let people inside.

Might work for Amsterdam, but I have a feeling parking spots could be a problem.
But, Hell, I like go-fast, I'm gonna see if I can find one.....the Tesla is such a perfect fit for NXT, I'm loving this idea.
