Topic: Nxt marketing & promotion :: Nxt forum now moved to nxtforums.org - page 47. (Read 78026 times)

I want to do something, but want to run it by you guys first.

I'd like to start help Nxt move out of the "trade coin" stage towards a "spending coin" by setting up something like an auction site or a shop.

The inspiration for the auction is basically https://cryptothrift.com/, and I think we all know what a "shop" is .

However, I cannot run such a thing by myself. Such a site would need more people. Also, I cannot implement code for payments etc.

Basically, I need partners who would be interested in setting something like this up.

I am good at the customer and support side of things, so I would bring that (and of course the domains nxtauction.com and nxtauctions.com or nxtmerchant.com) to the table.

Would anyone be interested in joining me? My first gut feeling is that an auction site would be best as the sales side and shipping side would rest with the actual auctioneers.

Any input welcome. This idea is still very much in conceptual phase, as people to do it WITH are a condition for it to work.

Why do you talk about your parents?

Team,

It's time to let the exchanges know it's time to add Nxt. Please do the following:


1. Visit the Google Doc for a list of exchanges and their respective email addresses

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AuputZyRQ5-5dFY4RlBTdFJWWnhTRUp3SWdiMlBpb3c&usp=sharing#gid=0


2. Email each exchange

- Let them know why you think they should add Nxt (marketcap, features, community etc..)
- You could easily use the same email for each exchange


3. Record your results here:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AuputZyRQ5-5dFY4RlBTdFJWWnhTRUp3SWdiMlBpb3c&usp=sharing#gid=0


Don't wait for someone else to do the work, let's show the exchanges we're serious about Nxt.

Peercoin Newsletter - Issue 7

Introduction

Thank you for joining our official Peercoin Newsletter. Lots of great content this week so let's get started!

Bitcointalk thread - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.4742044

The Peershare Project

"Peershare is a way for businesses to manage publicly held shares in a decentralized fashion. It uses the Peercoin network to automate the distribution of associated dividends in the form of Peercoins."


The Peershare Project has received major funding - roughly $500,000 - now HIRING C++ developers and QA experts!

http://www.peercointalk.org/index.php?topic=527.msg4249#msg4249

"Terms of compensation are negotiable and will be dependent upon the reputation that an individual has. We are open to either hourly rates (for people/personas/pseudonyms with developed reputations) or a bounty approach where payment is given for delivering software that meets certain specifications. Later other types of positions/roles will be opened. There will never be an office for this venture, so people in any part of the world can participate. Compensation will be paid through the Bitcoin network, while rates and bounties will be set in USD.

QA will begin with the task of testing Phase One development, which is complete. Developers will start with implementing Phases Two and Three. There are descriptions of these posted earlier in this thread, but updated and expanded specifications for these phases will be posted shortly to this thread. To acquire this dream job, start by sending me a Bitmessage at the address in my signature telling me why you are interested and qualified to participate."

nxt has reached more in this 65 days than any other crypto before.
for the client i can tell you the same. currently there are three
desktop clients in work (hopefully i don't forget one, many action here).
minusbalancer creates a one-in-all version running without server part,
marcus03 writing a rich feature client including quoting, charting and
more and i am writing a lean account centric version.

client dev is a serious matter, user funds are involved and therefore
you can be sure, even with pressure, i don't release something half just
to satisfy your or any other quick demand and i am sure the other dev's
looking at this similar.

in all respect for emunie and dan (developing this in c++ must be a horrorshow
for him and deserves attention) but nxt is playing simple in another league.
i absolutly don't see emunie as competion because both are totally different
animals. the other way around, emunie could be an interesting additonal
gateway provider for nxt.

How about an Nxt thread that's only for posting concise, point forn info on client and code developments. Notify everyone working on nxt related projects to update with progress there. Then we have a simple source to glean info from.

We could then bundle this into a "client/feature" article. We focus the tone of the article on the community development aspect, which in my view is the best approach to make us stand out from other 2nd Generation systems anyway.

That way we cán say something, doing our job, but without giving out info that might prove wrong. Could we make this a segment in the newsletter?

Exactly. Your or any other platform (except Pinterest..) must be based on articles. When we get to the stage when we have those texts, we can decide where to publish them. Now we have spanish, chinese, russian and dutch translations of "What is Nxt" prepared for anyone to grab. German version is already in the process of publishing. I went throught news about Bitcoin and altcoins and I was choosing topics that were published in the past. Anyone can also come with his own idea
