Very nice article in German:

"feature, feature, feature"..."theoretically the possibilities of Nxt have no limits"

Even though I daily meticulously trawl through the main thread, it's very hard to get confirmed data with an ETA.
That makes it very hard to offer definite statements to the outside world.

However, I propose we gét this information by the time-honored method of "asking"

Here is the link to the client thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/nxt-full-feature-clients-progress-tracking-thread-412138

I think we are too focused on nexern's client. Nexern himself has said that he would be glad if ANY client that is fully functional made it before  his.

We have NO official client, but any of those (well, marcus03's once he gets to the open source stage, which his is working very hard on) can be plugged.

I propose to contact all these developers (also wesleyh, by the way, as he is dropping a pure MacOS client in favour of cross-platform https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.4823794) and GET info.

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?

+1.

We cannot sell vapor, we can and do work in infrastructure, keep building up an audience, and have everything ready for intense promotion as soon as we have a client for the masses. Then spread the news like wildfire.

In the meantime, I'd be careful to not waste moves that might draw people's interest. A decent viral video or a paid commercial campaign will pay off much better once we have a software product that won't put off people. In this I agree with Pin, we need to gather materials to spread, and plan coordinated moves (if any, other than the starting shot of the client release).

Let's pick a hashtag that we all can use for twitter once the moment comes, have a mailing ready, etc.

Agreed:


Pin, do you know something about the Emunie launch and client that we don't?
You are talking loud now, is there something we should take into account that we don't know about?

Pin, there are loads of talented people in here, but since we have no real solid info on the client and what it will be able to do, it's hard to provide PR for it. See the reasons below. We cán, and do provide as much information on what we cán really say something about.

I have contacted nexern, but heard nothing back.

What we cán do regarding the client is basically repeat what nexern himself has said in the main thread.

However, that information is pretty limited, and I feel uncomfortable bringing out information that may not be correct. That will only hurt Nxt ánd all the work that nexern has put in the client. if we announce a feature of the client that for whatever reason doesn't make it in the first release, people will complain. Not fun.

I am a bit at a loss how we are supposed to go ahead on the client front. People keep asking us to push it, but without info, no PR. For me, it's as simple as that, for the reasons above.

What we can do is keep our eyes peeled for the client to come out and then jump on it and all our collective sites and post updates within a few hours.

What do you people think?

Can somebody please take over here and get a campaign togheter to launch with the clietn release.

I am so sick of them stupid ' I have article here and there", I have video here...

we need a campaign ! mobilize people swarm!

talented people step forward.

Pin

WTF! you have NO idea how important the client is right now, who cares about features?

Good Idea, we can add him to our list, where is Kim Dotcom, Edward Snowden, Wikileaks and Julian Assange. It means if you already write to Branson, you can do the same about these guys

7. Rich get richer - coming soon

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

And these articles are important. I would choke on some of them, that's why I have to put it in the context mentioned above.

Maybe it will all sum up, and what I want for the mag is just the same articles that you are looking for. Is that what you mean?

I would like to see Nxt becoming a movement. A revolution that starts with the people.

Right now we are mainly going for the crypto investors. That's necessary and all good, but my belief is, that most crypto investors couldn't care less about no revolution. They analyze Nxt and hope for it to get adopted mainstream for one reason - price will go up.
I wish them all the best of luck. But to be honest - and it might be because I'm a shitty trader - I couldn't care less about the price. I care for the features, the network, people running clients and nodes, people developing it all and I want everyone to see, use, and spread it. I want that revolution!

We must surely tell the crypto community and all investors out there that we are better than any altcoin or soon to be launched 2. gen. crypto. That effort is invaluable to Nxt, and we all back it up. But still, without real users we risk to be mistaken for being nothing but some clever code and a vehicle of investment. What the mainstream press wrote about BTC last year was mostly about bubbles, a commodity, risky investments. Because BTC had not been put to proper use yet. I believe, that to keep moving as fast forward as we do now and to avoid suffering the same destiny, Nxt should do it differently.

The idea of the movement could turn into a great sales point, imho. Join a worldwide community who wants to change the world to a better place. They have the long awaited tool, and the tool is Nxt. Go see for yourself. Let me tell you this: Your parents will NOT understand! You should convince them, because you - and the network of Nxters to whom you belong - are right about this one. You don't pay large fees, your parents do. You earn interest by forging, your parents don't get a dime from their fiat savings account. You are on top of the privacy-game, you parents still babble about the NSA. Your parents worry about the threat to copyright and patent laws - you tip people, and you get tips in return for what you create. Shouldn't the patented cure to AIDS be uploaded to the blockchain for all to see? Of course it should. This is just the beginning. The world is at a tipping point, and we are here to push it over, because the 1% will not.

I would like to add this entry to the marketing plan. I would rather spend money on promoting Nxt in a youth magazine than on LTB. Reason? To create news. If we can push stories to the media about a NXT Movement spreading around the globe, reporters will have to dig into Nxt. Then they learn about PoS. Transparent mining. Solar cells and raspi. Alias and decentralized exchange. Even crypto media may realize that they have overslept, giving tons of space to bitcoin addons and altcoins while paying too little attention to Nxt.

What I create comes from me. If it doesn't, I don't do it well enough. That's how I function.
So when I am setting up nxter.org, I am aiming to realize what I described above, which is - of course - just a want and a vision right now.

NXTer.org will serve as an article base and a magazine. Newsletter included.

This weekend I will set up a "Writers Room" on nxter.org. Chat enabled.
This is for the "Newsletter Crew" - and of course anybody else interested in contributing is welcome to join in!

I have a meeting with a graphic designer, who will work on logo and flyers.
I have set up a meeting with the chief editor of a Danish magazine in order to get general advice.

I hate writing budgets. I'll write a budget and my thoughts on project structure too.
A certain income must be generated in the long term, and will be paid out equally to the people involved.

I believe realizing the ideas above will give the "human face" to Nxt, that I agree with Damelon about.

We won't go out all too techy, but link to details. Analysis of code goes elsewhere. Analysis of Nxt as a solution to problems in the world, and pushing Nxt as a movement and a revolutionary tool goes here. Will you add this to the "decentralized effort to promote Nxt"-list, Salsacz? I hope it fits in.
And I hope that you can use the idea and the site in the overall marketing effort. Some articles should fit. What's your take on this?

I'm asking for both, as both info on the client ánd info on features is interesting.
We get a lot of hassle over our in browser client, so I disagree that a client won't be big news.
Features are also important.

I've PMed nexern to just fill me in (if he has time of course) on both and also the thing hé is excited about.

Any news is news at the moment.

We can't keep promoting a system without giving at least some concrete information indefinitely, so if there is something coming, why not promote it?

I also asked nexern which parts shouldn't be promoted as "coming soon" as we don't need to promote something and then not deliver.

NXT, EMUNIE, ETHEREUM: Stands BITCOIN before separation?

http://zuercherin.com/nxt-emunie-ethereum-steht-bitcoin-vor-der-abloesung/


- blah blah blah... - The coin has gained a lot of attention in the cryptoscene, also has many followers ( ) , if you look at the Bitcointalk.


- a nice comparison of Nxt and Bitcoin, both have anonymous developers

hosting a starcraft or league of legends tournament is a really great idea

From an investment point of view, a little while ago I outlined some of the main reasons why I'm in Nxt for the long haul here:

https://nextcoin.org/index.php/topic,2909.msg28541.html#msg28541

Since then, lots of exciting things have been happening, and even more is coming. Here's a good way to keep up with latest news/community activity without wading through the huge main thread:

What do you want to know?  It's kinda a big topic.  I can lay out some info but it would help to know what your areas of interest are (e.g. are you an investor, a programmer, a politician...?)

you MIGHT want to start here:  http://wiki.nxtcrypto.org/  or here:  http://mynxt.org  or here:  http://nxtcrypto.org/

Ok, so I might be interested in getting started with NXT. Convince me.
