Topic: Poll result: NXT is a proper cryptocurrency - page 9. (Read 24859 times)

Coin shuffling is just another form of obfuscation, which is a functional admission that Bitcoin is not fungible.  Monero's ring signatures + stealth addresses are superior.

As for NXT's brave decision to use a very high level language like Java.  LOL, noobs...

jl777, Jean-Luc, Thanks for all the hard work.

With Jean-Luc building the foundations of NXT, and jl777 building on top of it, great things are about to happen.

so... Jean-Luc when do you think Fact Digitizaton and Service Providers(Distributed Computing/storage)will be ready for testing? , can't wait for those features to start working.

With this cat, it might be. He's a fellow who likes "stirring the pot" because he enjoys it. He and I tangled in an earlier thread, and he ended up congratulating me for being a good sport.

This was only trolling the troll, thus the haiku style, I have nothing against Monero really. But is it really a coincidence that he went on a rage against Nxt just as it became known that our coin shuffling anonymity feature is going in the next release, thus threatening the major selling point of his favorite coin?

how can you say monero is irrelevant?

I count about a dozen transactions in the last hour. For a currency whose sole purpose is anonymization, this is offering giant amounts of privacy due to having the dozen transactions per hour. How can any sort of statistical analysis penetrate the forest of a dozen transactions per hour?

I mean that would be hundreds of transactions per day. the size of these numbers is just mindboggling. I would have to use binary encoding on my fingers to handle such immense number of transactions. I just dont see how any sort of brute forcing can be done to match up the deposits, withdraws and transactions.

P.S. plz dont mention bytecoin which has 10x the transaction volumes and is the original cryptonote

Hey @Daedelus Welcome back!!

Strong words from you, Jean-Luc.  But you certainly are right. Monero was never relevant in the first place. NXT has a strong, organic code base with talented developers like you, who can adapt to any situation. That is the most valid long-term asset of NXT and we are all very grateful.

iCEBREAKER got his named tainted with a scandal where he is accused of helping HashFast to scam customers for 50 million dollars. Not that I believe that he really did (I didn't even read that story) but I just used exactly the same trick he used against Nxt - someone said something which didn't really happen but now I treat like that was the truth and use this for baseless accusations.

Relax, iCY, I was just trolling, come back with new tricks, old ones are boring.

I don't get it. What happen?

I thought the same thing..  

It is like a reunion in here!!  



So.... SHOUT OUT TO ALL MY NXT HOMIES


(I'm still here, keep the faith tabs on the innovations released in the Nxt core and githubs of the surrounding projects)  

I'm missing iCY. I hope the customers didn't pitchfork him and he'll come back...

 

Hey, iCEBREAKER, what is that story about you and cypherdoc scamming people for 50 million USD with help of HashFast? Aren't you just trying to hide from angry customers in this thread?

Edit: Never mind, found it - https://www.google.com/webhp#q=iCEBREAKER+cypherdoc+hashfast+scam

Scam confirmed.

Just speaking my mind that is all. it's all speculation... but it would explain why they are holding the bag; Something big is afoot.

It just seems obvious to me what will happen when you give free expert knowledge to everyone and give them tools to use it. What if everyone had a 3D printer capable of building whatever they wanted? What if you had a assistant that was versed in all aspects of Law, Trade, Medicine, Science, Manufacturing, etc? Could speak every language on earth?

It would erase all barriers that we live under now; no need for jobs, economic development would be a joke; Language would be an abstract concept, merely a tool to transcribe ideas: Whatever you can dream of building can become a reality with the right resources.

The Engineers, Scientists, Business leaders, Doctors role as community advisers would be gone. We are already starting to see that, but still can't quite be sure that what we are reading is real or not.  too much misinformation going around to be useful... even getting useful cooking information on the internet can be daunting.

It's the dream of a decentralized world, information is free, new and better services are being built every day, and the last bastions of power, Finance, Business, Science, Manufacturing are being decentralized. It's only a matter of time. I think NXT is trying to build a network to consolidate and incubate those ideas within a small community. The foundations to do it are there, but we'll see how it goes.

@jdbtracker Just beautiful post 

"We are the descendants of Bitcoin. We are the continuation of the cause it started, but that perished with its centralization. Come in NXT."

NXT could have been  the next biggest cryptocurrency because of its large user base but some programmer mess it all up, and many have called it a scam because of the few holding the bags.

Monero will soon become Nomorero.   

I understand what they are trying to accomplish, it is what Bitcoin has already done, but they are building a iron curtain around it.

The design of Bitcoin was to do one thing very well, Finance, one of many uses for the Blockchain. The community was to build around it, giving each member a chance to create something great to succeed for themselves and many have. The meme of the Blockchain has spread successfully to fill in further gaps in Bitcoin's services.

NXT on the other hand is extremely ambitious, they are building it all themselves behind the defenses of the NXT Blockchain. A very ingenious thing, but no guarantee that they will accomplish it successfully. The leaders of NXT are determined and without a doubt will accomplish what they have set out to do, but they will need support to do it in a timely fashion. The development environment that they are working in is no doubt a hostile environment, they feel controlled dissemination is necessary to bring forth their vision uncorrupted.  It's a grand vision and I know for sure that even when NXT is fully built it will not be BCnext's vision, but a stepping stone towards it.  I can imagine it will be grand if it requires such careful planning.

Their ideology is NOT one that values Money but Human Capital... their monetary system renders NXT secondary to the user created assets, empowering the user to create Value & Wealth with NXT used only as a Arcade Token to play. It makes me think that it is merely a tool, an interface for enhancing users decision making ability on a grand scale, from there only Science Fiction ideas come to my mind: Global Distributed AI, Verified Information, Dynamic Job Assignment... this is a paradigm shift re-organizing the way things are done globally independent of Nations, Governments and Corporations.

A world controlled by Smart Contracts exchanging assets and commodities of all types and sizes world wide; Trade-bots allocating resources sharing dividends with investors; AI learning and adapting to global Demand & Supply with Independent Business support... Quite possibly causing the Singularity to occur through Crowd-Sourced insight of all Human knowledge verified by AI assistants.

but of course they have to finish it first. 

What a crapulent utopian heap of blue-sky marketecture, mission creep, and feature-bloat!

If more than one of those vaporware unicorns actually existed, it would be dependency hell.

NXT's near-infinite ambitions so far exceed its scam-asset-platform core competency that an apt metaphor escapes me.  I literally can't even.
