So 2 questions.

1) What is the tecnical term for the assets that will be issued on the asset exchange. Specifically what is the technical term for this type of financial instrument? I know they will be a type of security but they are not futures. When the us treasury issued promissory notes redeemable for gold or silver they called them certificates. Is "certificate" the most accurate term? I, with my silver bullion gateway, would be issuing "silver bullion certificates"?
Share?

2) Even if we know what the technical term is than we probably shouldn't call it that. We may solicit unwanted attention from financial regulators. So what are we going to call them?

Asset?

no a share entitles you to a portion of the equity in a thing. this is different. this is the title to a thing its self. you are the owner of the silver coin, i am the custodian, and the token is the deed that proves that you are the one that owns it.
Ripple calls it IOU, not sure if it makes sense to use the same terminology to reduce general confusion level.

By the way, the community has made it loud and clear that it does NOT want my ideas unless I have a totally vetted and complete solution. Since I was posting ideas to help get them vetted and complete, that means I do not see how I can directly help the NXT community at this point. It seems there is no perceived value in coming up with ideas, even ones that allow us to compete effectively with etherium, and no perceived value in being a project manager.

I put so much time and effort into NXT, it is disappointing to be rejected like this. How would you feel if your ideas were compared to a Ddos attack and then that was +1 many times?? Sorry but I am not Dr Evil, I am not smart enough to solve the tech issues on my own. THAT is why I posted my unfinished ideas, to get help. Anybody can say it is impossible forget about it. I was hoping someone would say maybe there was a way to reduce the problem to a simpler form.

Anyway, I dont want to overstay my welcome so I will limit myself to a most one post per day. I hope that wont be too much of a bother for people to read. i will continue administering the NXTcommunityfund. Once the three committees are fully up and running and if the main funders of the NXTcommunityfund want me to, I will disburse the NXTcommunityfund (minus some amount for rainy day fund) to the three committees or hand over trusteeship to whomever they choose. I dont want anybody to feel like I have so much centralized power that I might actually hurt NXT.

If anybody has actually started on any NXTcommunityfund bounties, let me know. I know of only the tipbot project and acceptance of NXT on websites project. Unless somebody posts that they are actively working on any of the other bounties, I think that it is best that they all be canceled. Wouldnt want to distract anybody from doing things that are actually important by working on my bounties that everybody feels is worthless.

Oh, rickyjames, please pay Zahlen and salsacz 500 NXT. I believe that concludes any current pending NXTcommunityfund business.

I have to pay my bills and at this point I have to either work on my ideas by myself since nobody will constructively help me or accept some external projects that I have been offered.

James

Edit: I hope people here will think I at least did some good by helping getting the unclaimed NXT released to the three committees. I feel that was a big positive, but then again I am probably wrong about that too.

That's a shame, you're always coming up with with good inovative ideas.

Hey man, don't become discouraged.

You generate a lot of ideas.  My suggestion is to keep a personal journal of your ideas.  As they become more fleshed out, post about one of the more mature ideas here or in the wiki.  This will allow people to concentrate on a single strong idea at a time rather than be overwhelmed with many vaguely defined ideas at once.

You do good work, and if you keep the focus narrow I think people will be more willing to contribute with you.

James, I like your thoughts, ideas and energy in this community.

This was in response to your last posts:

I'm no IT project manager but right now, brainstorming some ideas and projects could actually be quite healthy. The problem is maybe that notevery idea (and the interaction/interference) gets discusses here. We have no overview right now of projects, ideas, developments, developers right now.


After that, http://wiki.nxtcrypto.org/wiki/List_of_Proposals was created with the idea that maybe this could be the hub for all (your) ideas.

I hope you don't get discouraged by the poor resonance to your ideas in this thread! Stay with your brain and energy - Nxt needs you.

fuck IOUs, tis is why we are in deep shit worldwide ,

you need to join nxtorg , to get in to brainstorming before posting something, thats why there's the saying "that two brains are better then one, or three then two..."

first analyze then post, think , build , ... here in this topic its all at once ... its cool, but takes much more time...
and some times doesnt works.

if you're asking if negative input is legal, yes it is.

To simplify it, it's similar to how modulo operates in C.
If you do:
Code:
int x = (1-3) % 5;    // -2 % 5

you'll get "-2" as a result, but what you're actually interested in is:
Code:
int x = (1-3 + group_order) % 5;    // (-2 + 5) % 5  = 3 % 5 == 5

group_order == 5, and you'll get 3 as a result...

Yes, I know.

So, the problem is that -2 or 3 is processed further and we are not certain if -2 behaves differently than 3 does. That is certainly a problem.

EDIT: we are not certain if the 3 resulting from a -2 is process the same way as we would give it another try.

"-2" is passed as input to verify() which was expecting to see "3" not "-2"...


But it is not sure, if -2 in form as a 3 would result in the same outcome as it would be a 'real' 3 from the beginning.

In math  -2 mod 5 equals 3.   Is that the result, which is wanted?    ... in that case C implementation is wrong there and should not use % with negative numbers. (change to positive by adding 5)

well .. it is 20 past 1 in th emorning, and I'm about to go to bed ... tomorrow will be tough to get the AE client ready. I am wiring the final sigs, and there is a good chance that it'll be out on tuesday.
In fact, when the Conference is on the 12th and the client is out, I'll be needing a break anyway. But I won't be good for much re-presenting, because I'm a bit wrinkled right now ..

no a share entitles you to a portion of the equity in a thing. this is different. this is the title to a thing its self. you are the owner of the silver coin, i am the custodian, and the token is the deed that proves that you are the one that owns it.

Sorry but I am not Dr Evil, I am not smart enough to solve the tech issues on my own. THAT is why I posted my unfinished ideas, to get help. Anybody can say it is impossible forget about it.

James, I +1 with pin because what he said was exactly what I was thinking lately. I respect your ideas and amazing ability to articulate all

your ideas. But it also felt like you were derailing the direction Nxt is taking naturally. Nxt is absolutely a community driven project

but I believe we need the core ideas that have not been implemented yet to take its course before even thinking about going with your many

ideas some of them being a bit radical. I can say honestly that you are an absolute asset to Nxt. I just want you to use your obvious talents

and enthusiasm in a way that concentrates in one or two important improvements to Nxt at a time. You may very well have the foresight

to see our future problems with competition and are eager to fix them now. Its just too soon too much with a lot of your ideas. Please continue

to be who you are, but just concentrate your efforts more to the natural flow of the community.

As treasurer of the NXTcommunityfund, I will disburse 1000 NXT per your directions above.

James, buddy, listen to me.  Nobody here is your adversary or enemy.  You are obviously a very smart guy.  Every single one of the ideas you have presented has great merit.  You were given sole control of the NXTcommunityfund because several people believe in you and your ideas and still do.  You are held in great esteem by everybody in this thread.

But this thread is a crazy roller coaster ride.  It strains everybody's abilities just to hang on for the ride.  We all do it because if something interesting about NXT is going to pop up, it's probably going to pop up here first.  But it takes everybody's personal mental bandwidth just to process these posts. 

You are so prolific that we just can't keep up with you in this kind of an environment.   Other, more appropriate environments elsewhere have been suggested where we CAN keep up.  Before you bail out on us and NXT, PLEASE try them. 

Everybody has a bad day/week/longer sometimes where things don't go their way and the path ahead looks bleak.  If it's your time in the barrel for that, don't make a huge swing of the pendulum to "limiting yourself to at most one post daily".  Go with the flow and try to adapt.  Talk about one of your ideas and keep talking about it.  See how far you can go with it.  Nobody here is expecting you to solve all NXT's problems tomorrow all by yourself.  Don't expect that of yourself either.

Relax.  Don't panic.  Stay calm and carry on.

You express visions for Nxt. If just 1/3 turns into reality, we've come a long way. Thank you!

Unless somebody posts that they are actively working on any of the other bounties, I think that it is best that they all be canceled. Wouldnt want to distract anybody from doing things that are actually important by working on my bounties that everybody feels is worthless.

Oh, rickyjames, please pay Zahlen and salsacz 500 NXT. I believe that concludes any current pending NXTcommunityfund business.

I have to pay my bills and at this point I have to either work on my ideas by myself since nobody will constructively help me or accept some external projects that I have been offered.

James

Edit: I hope people here will think I at least did some good by helping getting the unclaimed NXT released to the three committees. I feel that was a big positive, but then again I am probably wrong about that too.

As treasurer of the NXTcommunityfund, I will disburse 1000 NXT per your directions above.

James, buddy, listen to me.  Nobody here is your adversary or enemy.  You are obviously a very smart guy.  Every single one of the ideas you have presented has great merit.  You were given sole control of the NXTcommunityfund because several people believe in you and your ideas and still do.  You are held in great esteem by everybody in this thread.

But this thread is a crazy roller coaster ride.  It strains everybody's abilities just to hang on for the ride.  We all do it because if something interesting about NXT is going to pop up, it's probably going to pop up here first.  But it takes everybody's personal mental bandwidth just to process these posts.  

You are so prolific that we just can't keep up with you in this kind of an environment.   Other, more appropriate environments elsewhere have been suggested where we CAN keep up.  Before you bail out on us and NXT, PLEASE try them.  

Everybody has a bad day/week/longer sometimes where things don't go their way and the path ahead looks bleak.  If it's your time in the barrel for that, don't make a huge swing of the pendulum to "limiting yourself to at most one post daily".  Go with the flow and try to adapt.  Talk about one of your ideas and keep talking about it.  See how far you can go with it.  Nobody here is expecting you to solve all NXT's problems tomorrow all by yourself.  Don't expect that of yourself either.

Relax.  Don't panic.  Stay calm and carry on.

james, just chill man.  please.  you have lots of good ideas, unfortunately, just as you cannot implement them all yourself, neither can the most of us.  I dont know about you guys but NXT is one of my 'hobbies' - they are supposed to be fun.  If it gets to the point where its not, then maybe you do need to reevaluate though.  chill dude, and try to get some perspective here.  yes there is lots to do but there is lots of time.  just deal with the decentralized nature of the beast.

yeah jl777, this thread is too big and too fast to be able to efficiently concentrate on your big wall of text.
They are valuable but probably not posted on the good place.


I think this thread is cool to read and I like to read it. And i would like it to stay as the a common thread.
But honestly, it's not the best place to make NXT move forward.
Here, everything is diluted, so we are talking more lightly. But very serious talk that need lot of brainpower have to take place elsewhere

Ricky: It is 37 days since McJavar collected 15k Nxt to the Berlin conf so I was hoping he will organize at least something. He did nothing and decided he probably won't go there, so he is sitting on his 15k now. There will be 4 guys - bitventurer lorrie and me + admiral.fu, but he will also be attending sessions. Other stuff is on nextcoin and in 3 hours I am leaving to Prague so good night now Cheesy

node17.nxtbase.com      node17.nxtbase.com      7'000      96 B      453 B      NRS (0.4.9e) @ 22k

Did this person leave nxt in the closet and only coming back in one years time to see the price change?  Grin

That one had a config hang up. Fixed and all nodes upgrading to 0.6.2.

By the way, the community has made it loud and clear that it does NOT want my ideas unless I have a totally vetted and complete solution. Since I was posting ideas to help get them vetted and complete, that means I do not see how I can directly help the NXT community at this point. It seems there is no perceived value in coming up with ideas, even ones that allow us to compete effectively with etherium, and no perceived value in being a project manager.

Hey man, don't become discouraged.

You generate a lot of ideas.  My suggestion is to keep a personal journal of your ideas.  As they become more fleshed out, post about one of the more mature ideas here or in the wiki.  This will allow people to concentrate on a single strong idea at a time rather than be overwhelmed with many vaguely defined ideas at once.

You do good work, and if you keep the focus narrow I think people will be more willing to contribute with you.

Yeah. The community HASN'T made it loud and clear that they don't want your ideas. It's the information overload that they don't want. You generate a lot of information, which is a good thing, it just needs to be better managed. We also all need better tools to help us manage that, the wiki could be such a tool, until salsa finishes his platform.

Maybe there is hope for the raspberry owners after all... let's see what they report.

whats the point if no API for forging?
But you can still unlock your account from the browser and forge, right? And when we decide to remove the web interface, I will add an unlock account API, and also I hope somebody comes up with an alternative web interface by that time too.

There API to forge, only that it is not known. Wink

0.7.2 is more acceptable! Smiley


there are any complications known if used in VPS?
