I am in talks with the administrators of the free internet chess server (FICS) about having 4 chess tournaments open to everyone with a first prize in NXT.
Handing out prizes is rather unusual on this server, but it seems they are open to the idea.
Either I would be acting as a tournament manager or I would just provide them the prizemoney in NXT and they set up the tourneys.
Of course I would do the advertising and give general help for all questions regarding Nxt.
Until now I am prepared to pay the prizes from my pocket, but they can't be high as my account in my sig will tell you.
I know the server very well, since I play there for over 15 years and I would judge the impact from the marketing as pretty good. Right now there are 1554 players online. chess players are similar to poker players open to new stuff and trading in general.
The number of participants and the quality of the players will depend on organisation and prizemoney.
My estimate for 4 weekly tournaments is:
500 NXT first place: 4x 40-60 participants
1000 NXT first place: 4x 50-100 participants
Everybody would read about Nxt and many will try it.
Don't underestimate how much talk on this chessserver is in various channels.
There is even a trading channel.
I would want to know if there could be a contribution from the funds you manage.
All will be documented and researchable (I guess some from BCT will take part) and I could pay from my pocket in front and get compensated for my expenses afterwards!?
possible?

Hey all
I read apenzl post and I agree with most but I think a real important aspect is
KEEPING PEOPLE IN THE LOOP
These forums are so fractured. We could be like the NYTimes, simply by pushing a report out every day
Example for this weekend
Price breaks $0.10 on Bter, Dgex
-------------------------------------
NRS 0.5.9 holds steady and stable
-------------------------------------
NXT Voting initiatives being worked out
-------------------------------------
One Click client expected April/14
-------------------------------------
etc..
and once we can roll this into AM and distro it through the blockchain, all the better. but for now a mail client would be best

Agree there are two main type of information we can provide:
1. collect and organize all current information as brooklynbtc described
2. more in-depth and new information such as: interviews, analysis etc.
We should set up a separate site which could have an independent life later on. No need to bloat the block-chain unnecessarily.

Nxt - innovative crypto:

Nxtcoin contrary to many of the altcoins coming out these days did not copy/paste bitcoins source code. It uses a 100% proof of stake system to complete transactions. There is no mining involved here. It uses a account system instead of a wallet one to move coins. Because of this it is much easier to use then Bitcoin but must be used as a brain wallet by design and there is no way to store coins in cold storage away from the network. Nxtcoin has faster transactions then Bitcoin and makes it easy for you to access funds wherever you are on any device. Very interesting. https://nextcoin.org/

Personally I would love this. I get it from fb, twitter, and Damelon's blog to some extent.
If we are to create a newsletter, then all of these announcements should be backed by an article?
As I see it, for now daily announcements like that could be run in a "breaking news"-widget on the site, and the most important news should be followed up by an article asap. Brought on site, and in the weekly mail.
Even bitcoin media can't keep up with NYTimes. On the other hand - perhaps NXT can. We got lots of features coming. If we continue at this speed, let more people in and keep the site open to news from all nations, it might work. Only NYTimes is not free.

I just made this website about NXT;
http://ilgunf.wix.com/nxtinfo
It's mobile compatibale. I will work on the blog very soon.
First I will translate the test to other languages.
If I could get donations, I could also host this website with a better domain name and it would be faster.

Can somebody "sell" some NXT on ebay that is first class free advertisement.
BCFrex
Hi salsacz,
BCFrex is right. The firt time I recognized Litecoin was at eBay. What do you think about the following Marketing Act:
Everyone which shows as a confirmed Ebay sold Nxt-Amount, receives 100 Nxt from our Markting Pool?
Only once per Customer. And probably it make sense to help them with the Auction Details, that it looks nice with all proper information
What do you think?

NXT Newsletter
Hi Pin, NxtChoice, utopianfuture, brooklynbtc, Damelon, allwelder, fmiboy +
I'm sorry that I haven't followed up on the Newsletter-issue before, but deadlines on my job are brutal right now, and I have to sleep too. Which doesn't go that well, but I guess I am not the only one here having good and bad dreams about NXT at night.
Let's get that newsletter together. It's important that we are on the same track. To reach some consensus about content, let me start with my own idea (cleverly attached to the magazine-idea by utopianfuture) :
NXTers can be divided roughly into 3 categories:
1. Following all NXT threads on btctalk post by post + active in the forums.
2. Following prices. Following cryptos. Maybe following Damelons daily reports.
3. INTERESTED. Don't get it. Wants to get it. Be part. But this NXT thing is so hard to understand!
Cat. 1 will read the same sources as cat. 2.
So we are targeting category 2 and 3. Or should it be 2 OR 3?
2 and 3 are 2 holds different mindsets, and should be handled accordingly.
Articles for cat. 2 will bore and possibly be rejected by cat. 3 and vice versa.
The newsletter can be a mashup, and balance the content for both groups - or it could just aim for one of the two. In what box would you file the peercoin newsletter? Cat. 2., I believe.
Most important when choosing angle, is where our own interest lies. Writing articles we don't get anything from ourselves will kill us. I know that, I work on a shit series right now, that many people are gonna love, but me - I just hate writing it.
First thought is, that the crypto community (cat. 2) is the most obvious place to start. Not so much explaining to be done. Just references to bitcoin. Many features are not developed and implemented yet, but they will understand, they will see the potential, they have money to invest, and so on. Sure. They will make the price behave like crazy.
Cat. 2 will soon read more about NXT in other crypto news. Also in Bitcoin Magazine.
They want more? Damelon does an amazing job summing up the development in his daily resumes of the bitcointalkthread. They want more? They will go to coinmarkedcap.
We need to break features to the world. Therefore, we got press releases.
We need to push all the great NXT press-links to people. We got fb and twitter.
So who is our main target?
We don't wanna commit ourselves to writing a weekly article if it is wasted time.
We, the "veteran" NXTers are able to write the best articles. No doubt.
We go for category 3 and make it include journalists. We tell them what NXT is.
What they got to tell to people who don't get it. Why they want to get it and be part.
We educate. We look to the future. But we don't go into crazy details about code and votings in the community. Just results. Links to further information, that a few will follow and get.
Our newsletter #2 will link to #1. Oh, don't you get this? I understand. Read #1.
I have nxtmag.org registered for the archives. Simple wp-installation for starts, and go.
We need to brainstorm on how to get the word out.
Getting emails for the list should start immediately. Signup-link on nxtcrypto and nextcoin, in signatures, in forum threads and so on - just great. Newsletters posted on torrent sites > but how to convert the readers then? It might be a good idea to hand out NXT for signups - like the 100 first or for EVERY signup!
Receivers read the newsletter and check out the features as they read. Buy more.
Donations for this is welcome. Newsletter account is: 7849037285621103550.
If we should advertise, this could be it. Join the newsletter. Get free NXT. Click it.
The main btctalk-thread is a treasure chest. I gathered quite a bunch of links to posts, that could be the basis for articles and stories, and on top of that there is the wiki and all that is common knowledge to most of us, but all new to the world. We should present it in a form, that allows people from the outside world to get in. Lucky they are, that they found NXT. And please contact us, if you got a story to tell. Maybe there are more "NXT saved my dog"-stories out there. I am sure that there will be. Or "NXT ruined my life". - Who will be the first to get an in depth interview with Frictionless Coin? Bounty for that, right?
Just a little comment on Bitcoin. And myths. When introducing NXT to the world (Average J), let's not forget, that the mainstream media didn't cover Bitcoin much before last year. This meaning: Let's not assume that everybody knows everything about it. To most people it's still just some "internet cash", possibly used for drugs, a commodity, something new and dangerous from the darknet and hard to get. Remember that most articles and news hosts on TV still have to implement an explanation about what bitcoin is, before the news come. Leave it be. Let's tell them about NXT instead of constantly making references to BTC. Or telling what NXT NOT is. It is not a scam. No of course not.
Why introduce NXT like it's something that could be a scam when it is not?
In the history books (coming out in about 1 year, right?
), the trolling and scam-accusations will be funny stories, and we all get our revenge, when NXT has become the very fundament of the internet by that time. But let's not give trolls the first say. They are just trolling so why bother. Let them be. Let's just tell about NXT. What is it? What can it do? How and why is this gonna change the world and become a global revolution? Now I feel I'm beginning to ramble. I guess you got my point.
What are your thoughts?
To sum up:
Let's go for signups asap. Link will be here tomorrow, just need to fill in the blanks.
I chose Mailchimp.
Let's make the first newsletter an introduction to NXT for dummies.
First articles might be used for book - we need to go mainstream, people.
Let's built on top of that introduction in the following newsletters.
Announce client and features when they arrive. Details. Links to further information.
I have to get back to work now. Got a final deadline 01.03 but I will have more time after this week. Please post your thoughts, I will check in daily. Thank you!

The principal agent problem can be overcome by proof of stake, first implemented in Peercoin. I won’t go into the full details here, but know that it is imperfect, but a way to avoid the ‘miners’ working off on their own, that doesn’t benefit the ‘owners’ (e.g. centralized pool controls and corresponding power abuse). This isn’t perfect, but it’s a start. It also doesn’t need a lot of expenditure in terms of employee compensation and can thus retain more shareholder value. Distribution is always a challenge though, e.g. NXT, but if a beneficial service can be provided, its effects are minimized.

Taking a look at the number of posts in every language here in bitcointalk and in nextcoin.org generally agrees with your list, and perhaps improves a little bit the picture of the non-english crypto community.
| Language - | IP estimates - | Bitcointalk posts - | Nextcoin.org posts |

I just did some calculations about important languages in crypto world - to know which languages are important for article translations. We know about a list of countries by IPs, but I had to put Autria+Germany+CH together etc, so here are top non-english languages: 727,357 Chinese 378,826 German (+ Belgium) 380,000 Russian 143,897 Spanish 125,431 Dutch (+ Belgium) 119,496 Poland 107,9 Portuguese 98,353 France (+ some people from Canada, Belgium) 82,333 Italy 70,168 Sweden 48,74 India January 20, 2014, 05:09:47 PM

Hey Salascz,
I'm in NYC and would like to organize a team or group of people to go to the Inside Bitcoin conference in April here in New York. We could print some cards, t-shirts, etc and move among the crowd, even giving out a faucet address specific the conference so people could collect some NXT themselves. I understand the client will be ready come April, would be great if we were really ready then. I think it would be smart to focus on PoS vs mining. I'm sure BTC conventions are full of people oohing over ASICS that they can't afford. Plenty of people would take some free NXT coins Also TF should be up and running, allowing NXT speeds to hugely improved. Imagine showing a BTC fan an INSTANT payment from device to device. Their heads will blow. Is there some funds for the marketing account to pay for conference passes, printing of cards, and maybe some other schwag give away stuff? Plus a dedicated conference faucet? Thanks and please reply via PM too January 20, 2014, 11:35:50 AM
^ done, but a lot of pacience will be needed to address the same concerns over and over again.
Leaving here the spanish translation for the NxtMyths - 1 article. MitosNxt 1. Nxt no es un timo, no es creada por desarrolladores anónimos
Nxt fue inventada por BCNext, programador de 35+ años de edad que vive en Europa[1]. Es un miembro veterano del foro Bitcointalk, pero se mantiene anónimo como Satoshi Nakamoto[2]. Aún puede revelar su identidad, como prometió[3]. BCNext prefiere trabajar creando el proyecto solo. Pagó a un equipo de desarrolladores para que le ayudaran con el cliente y crear algunas funcionalidades como intercambios descentralizados. Un miembro del núcleo del equipo de desarrollo, Come-from-Beyond, fue pagado por BCNext para trabajar en Nxt desde Octubre de 2013 hasta Abril de 2014[4]. Come-from-Beyond es un programador de 34 años de Minsk, Bielorrusia[5]. En Enero de 2014, Jean-Luc se unió al núcleo de desarrollo como programador no remunerado[6]. Tiene un doctorado, probablemente sea originario de Suiza (o Francia) y ya ha celebrado su 30º cumpleaños[7]. La tarea de Jean-Luc es trabajar en el código. Jean posee una buena cantidad de NXT, por lo que está programando gratis, para beneficio de su propia inversión. BCNext sólo fue un inventor, otros trabajarán en su legado y reescribirán sus ideas en códigos Java más limpios. Tras la publicación del código fuente, se incorporaron muchos programadores con mejoras para el código. Algunos expertos griegos en IT están pagados para una revisión del código por Klee, inversor original que lleva su coordinación[8]. Klee invirtió una parte enorme de sus NXT en donaciones, recompensas y regalos[9]. No esconde su identidad real, y está moderando el grupo de Facebook Ubiquitous Cryptocurrencies usando su nombre verdadero[10]. Los nombres de los miembros de su equipo también fueron revelados. Solamente había 8 inversores originales que pagaron 1 Bitcoin en la IPO original[11]. Cada uno de ellos recibió 50 millones de NXT, y Klee es uno de ellos. En Enero de 2014, ya sólo 4 de esos 8 inversores originales poseían más de 30 millones de NXT[12]. Hay al menos siete programadores que están trabajando en las aplicaciones de Nxt a tiempo completo: Abuelau, ferment, nexern, NxtChg y Graviton con su ayudante, que le ayuda con el mayor exchange de Nxt. Esta lista no termina aquí, hay muchos desarrolladores nuevos en Nxt como Marcus03 o wesleyh con sus fantásticas aplicaciones. Hay decenas de colaboradores, traductores y autores de artículos, pero la gente que declara "trabajar" para Nxt a tiempo completo son Joefox, Opticalcarrier, Pinarello y Salsacz. 500 personas distintas ya han estado hablando en el hilo principal de Nxt en Bitcointalk[13]. En una ocasión hubo 93 alias activos en los 3 días recientes. A mediados de Enero se alcalnzaron 20,000 comentarios en la página 1,000. Las estadísticas a finales de 2013 muestran a los siguientes usuarios como los más prolíficos del hilo de Bitcointalk: Come-from-Beyond (2005), laowai80 (460), klee (324), smaragda (304) y opticalcarrier (211). 15.000 personas tienen una cuenta Nxt, y este número sube unos 200-400 usuarios por día[14]. 500 usuarios tienen más de 100.000 NXT, y 2.000 tienen más de 1000 NXT[15]. La red de pares de Nxt tiene miembros de todo el mundo. La mayoría son de Estados Unidos, pero también hay una gran comunidad en Alemania, Hong Kong, Rusia, Reino Unido, Japón y Holanda. Hay usuarios de Islandia, Jamaica, Panamá, Etiopía e Israel[16]. Algunas de las páginas de la Wiki de Nxt ya han sido traducidas a 11 idiomas[17]. Nxt todavía es un pequeño grupo de personas sin un lugar centralizado. Nxt es una divisa descentralizada, por lo que hay diversos foros, exchanges, sitios web, perfiles de redes sociales y grupos de márketing. Nunca habrá ningún líder principal. Todas las decisiones en Nxt están basadas en votaciones democráticas. Preguntas para BCNext: Enero de 2014: P: ¿Por qué se canceló de repente la captación de fondos original con poca gente? R: Quería que Nxt fuera lanzada por la comunidad, no por una sola persona. El éxito de Nxt debería ser el resultado del trabajo de MUCHA GENTE. P: ¿Cómo resolverías el problema con las acusaciones de timo por la “injusta” distribución original de Nxt a 73 grandes depositarios? R: Este problema no puede resolverse. Incluso si hubiéramos tenido un millón de inversores, los 7,000 millones de personas restantes dirían que es injusto. Un mundo con dinero no puede ser perfecto. P: ¿Cuáles son las 5 cosas más importantes que debe hacer la comunidad para contribuir en Nxt de forma apropiada los próximos 6 meses? A: Revisar todas mis ideas, podrían tener defectos. Evitar la centralización. No prestar demasiada atención al precio de 1 NXT medido en dinero fiat. Recordar que los pasos a medias no llevan a ninguna parte. No confiar en extraños en internet, especialmente si su nombre es "BCNext". Noviembre de 2013: P: ¿Cuántas bitcoins vas a invertir? ¿Vas a quedarte tú las monedas que compres, o te quedarás con un cierto porcentaje como creador? R: No sé cuánto voy a invertir. Depende del precio de Bitcoin y de otros factroes. Estas bitcoins, como las demás, se emplearán para dar recompensas por desarrollo. No hay un porcentaje para el creador. Cita de BCNext: Se invirtió mucho tiempo en hablar, y el resultado no me satisfizo. Por eso ahora estoy trabajando solo. De este modo todo se implementa mucho más rápido[18]. Lo que otros han dicho de BCNext: Come-from-Beyond: "No creo que a BCNext le interese el dinero. Ha gastado más de lo que recaudó."[19] "Con todos mis respetos para BCNext, está demasiado paranoico con el asunto FBI/aliens/illuminati, no les interesa secuestrar a otro creador más de criptomonedas. Creo que fue un intento (fallido) de RP. Por fortuna, no le necesitamos tras el lanzamiento."[20] ¿Qué significa BCNext? Next es next. Salsa cree que "BC" viene del artículo sobre Proof of Stake y se refiere a "Beyond Cryptocurrency" (más allá de las criptodivisas). ¿Qué más sabemos de BCNext? Usa a menudo la frase "can not”. Es un genio a quien dinero y fama no interesan. A BCNext le gustan los símbolos: Sabemos de datos simbólicos escondidos en el mundo de Nxt:
[1] Esta suposición se basa en el estilo "assembler" en el código (Come-from-Beyond: "Me di cuenta de las mismas cosas, el código está escrito con el estilo de los 90.

Utilizó CET en su firma. CET se refiere a la zona horaria de Europa Central – desde España a Eslovaquia. También utilizó un email ruso, pero en Rusia y Bielorrusia no utilizan CET. La información acerca del doctorado y la edad la obtuvo el autor del artículo de un mensaje personal de Jean-Luc.
