NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information

[NxtChg]

So, voting.

- The only thing we can reliably use is the total amount of money, but that is bad, because for some decisions this will be very undemocratic.
- We can't apply any "compressor" function to the wealth, because people will split into multiple accounts.
- We can't vote by accounts because they are cheap to create.
- We can't use PoW or Turing tests, because it's impractical and stupid (solving 30 captchas?). Can also be circumvented by paying cheap labor to do it.
- We can't use passport chips with challenge, because they are too rare.
- Maybe we could use what Bitcoin is trying to do with passports and zero-knowledge proof, but probably not until they actually implemented it.
- We can't use iris scans, because of privacy concerns and practical difficulties.

Come on, brilliant minds in here, think! What can we do?

Dear Mark, Nextcoin is in its final testing, if all works out then

So, voting.

BC.NXT just send me a PM.

"Here's a fun game for the community. If you can go 20 pages without discussing VS I will reveal the first character of the password to the genesis block"

Challenge, guys.

Last post about voting I found is that. It was page 1179.
Now we are on 1254.

BCNext, your move.

LoL, just curious what sort of fun can we have with genesis account after we get the whole password?

it's absolutely great to see how your guys keep pushing.
I'm rather new in coins world (used to mine some feathercoins last november),
then I saw nxt and was just thrilled. I'm an artist (sculptures, art animation, theatre....)
and don't understand how all the technical stuff works, but I see how you
all coming up with great ideas all the time. Just want to thank you and keep on.

I agree. Nxt is a unique example of collaboration hundreds of people all over the world. I spoke with a friend a couple of days ago and I said: "We've got 10M unclaimed coins for development and marketing". He asked: "We? Are you a part of Nxt?". He was amazed that every important decision is discussed and made by community memebrs.

Hello fellow artist.
Nice to see someone else who is maybe not up to par with all the technical stuff (although if you keep reading you can catch up with the general concepts quite fast!) but sees that the strength of the community is as important as the infrastructure itself!

First pic is me, 2nd picture is JustaBit giving crazy face.

I would love to give the girls JustaBit

[BitcoinForumator]

yes, joefox would like to have his own Nxt show that would be built on the Let's talk Bitcoin platform. He would talk with Ricky, Pin, me, devs, helpers from all over the world...

Then there would be 1 episode of Let's talk Bitcoin about Nxt.

Then there is a chance to be for 1 minute in every episode of the main show and present there our features to the audience, to the newbies. There is a lot of demythologisation we need to provide Here is the chance to speak directly to the 10.000 (+) crypto maniacs.

Yup, I'm developing a podcast.  First episode or two may just be me droning on, but it'll grow.  I have a list of "targets" for folks I'd love to interview, so many of you regulars should be expecting to hear from me!

Adam and I have traded email, and I'm keeping him posted as it all develops.  But this is all separate from the ads on LTB, which I think are an excellent idea.  As others have pointed out, the ad spots provide a long-term, consistent messaging platform for Nxt... and since LTB is (for now, at least) a podcast, the ads will stay in archived episodes and be of ongoing use.  

Working title for the podcast, by the way, is "What's Up Nxt" 

What about just "What's Nxt?"?

[bitcoinpaul]

I am very gratified by this immediate community response, thank you.   So I am going into full-speed-ahead mode here.  Hell, I'll even cover the 10K NXT from my own stash as my contribution to the cause just so we don't get hung up here.

I propose to get listed as a speaker.  There seems to be a January 31 deadline for this.   I would propose to get in the Technical: Development, Implementation and Infrastructure speaker track.  For a twenty minute talk, you've got to have laser like focus.  My theme would be slide after slide: Bitcoin problem, NXT solution: currency distribution, blockchain bloat, PoW arms race, 51% attack, block confirmation speed (10 min vs 1 minute), transactions per second (1 currently / 7 max for BTC, 10,000 ultimate goal for NXT), etc. etc. etc.

Here's details.

You're rockin.

Excellent strategy rickyjames!

All you need to emphasize are instant transactions, earning coins from forging, anonymous messaging, and soon an anonymous marketplace - why on earth would anyone want to stick with Bitcoin?!

the 1.3M is for how many spots?

4 weekly shows, 1 main show 2x/week, 1 minute, for 6 months

in my opinion Nxt offers enough value to be talked about on this show without any paid airtime.
1.3 MNxt is incredibly expensive in my humble opinion.

Totally agree!
1.3 Million Nxt kinda sounds too much.

[Uniqueorn]

1.3m is insane in my opinion. How many listeners are we talking about here?
Let's not forget that most of the Bitcoin people who listen most likely already know about NXT, we should aim for those who feel like they missed out on the Bitcoin train and the general population.

[Passion_ltc]

1.3m is insane in my opinion.

Yes. It's nearly 100k$ right now. I'm sure that after the campaign it's half a million..

[cryptolawyer]

Hi folks. I live in New York, and can be at the April conference.

[utopianfuture]

I am three hours drive from New York. I plan to attend but I have a small baby so need to figure out how it is going to work first.
