NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information

[Anon136]

also this helps to protect against domain squatting. thats a really big deal since the person who acquires a domain is the monopoly provider meaning he has the leverage to charge outrageous prices as soon as he knows that someone wants it. if we didnt put a price on it than people would go crazy and reserve every domain imaginable and anyone who wanted to issue an asset would have to pay CRAZY prices. The net effect of making asset registration cheap would be that getting the asset you wanted would be orders of magnitude more expensive than if there was simply a cost for registering to begin with.

*edit* incidentally i really like the idea of having tiers of asset classes. that gives us the best of both worlds.

You're looking at a squatter here. Neither proud nor ashamed to admit it. Ok, maybe a little bit of shame, but I'll take that up with a future therapist if NXT ever goes lunar.

I'm not sure if there are different 'types' of squatters. I've squatted aliases because 1) I see an opportunity and 2) I really have no other feasible way of expanding my NXT hodlings. None of my aliases were registered until after Dec 25, and some of the ones available were amazing.

How long have we been talking about Auroracoin? I registered AUR this morning. Squatting? Or people walking past a metaphorical bag of cash on a street corner? I'm asking this sincerely because I have mixed feelings about registering things I have no plans to personally use. With that said, on anything I have no plans to use, I'd never ransom them for exorbitant fees, or would simply give them away.

I'm torn on the AE fee of 1 vs. 1000. A fee of 1000 will stop people like me from issuing an asset; on the other hand, it will stop people like me from issuing an asset.

It will definitely limit the number of assets I will issue (I hodl about 7900 NXT).

Having a fee of 1000 won't stop squatting. Mitigate, but not stop.

The fear, I think, is the people who are squatting will control assets to further their self-interest vs. that of the community/ecosystem. Hopefully, people that do sit on an asset/alias will realize that the strength of Nxt is in their self-interest and act accordingly.

i never blame people for responding rationally to incentives. if assets were free to register i would probably register as many as i could as well, while still disagreeing with the general premise. its just another example of the tragedy of the commons. my interest is not in blaming people for being rationally self interested, but in crafting an incentive structure where rational self interest leads to outcomes that maximize utility.

I am soooooo exited. Just now, I managed to forge a 22 NXT block :O

THIS IS SO SICK

Well that is ~$1 and you have 219'934 Nxt (~10491 USD) in ur account  

Sick and "exited" => the most unprofitable "coin" ever where forging isnt even an incentive for securing the network...?!?!

Isnt nxt forging completely flawed?

You don't get it? Right?

If i had invested 10.000$ into mining hardware i would end up with about 11.000$ bitcoins (if you are lucky ) somewhere in the future with worthless mining rig.
Now i invested 10.000$ (actually way less) and profit from all the appreciation of the currecny. Also i get about 0.5% intrest, all i have to do is run the java applet in the background, it uses near zero resources.

which is why we will see things like nodecoin v2.0 and stuff in the future to give incentive to help secure the network. For the people that want to gain something by doing it.

Forging is a good-deed. I do it because it costs little power and I am helping to do good for NXT.

  God I dislike forging.  My hundreds of thousands of Nxt earn wizen peanuts in stake as well, my VPS costs me way more to contribute to the network than I can earn. We are just those who host the network for the greedy 50M+ stakeholders forging all the blocks.  I have to rethink this, considering that I really love(d) Nxt.

Fuck forging $0.1-1 with 200000+ Nxt. This is ridiculous.

I simply setup my node on a VPS, and I've forgotten about it for a week or so. It's really not that much of an hassle, the devs have done good work to make it really stable (anyone remember the early days?)

Instead of staring at the "Time to forge next block..." timer, I think you'd be better off (and less frustrated) by thinking of bright ideas that will take advantage of features NXT has to offer, like the Asset Exchange.

Arurra is good example of how human behave. When they see big "+" on coinmarket they buy even more.

This is something that Nxt users should keep in mind. keeping prices low or negative deliberately doesn't mean people are going to buy more. They buy it when prices are way up in last 24 hours.

Let's declare monday evening as "BCNext says" time

What if a next Silk Road is hosted on the blockchain?  No servers required, no owners existed...

# Messaging to describe substances products/send encrypted delivery address
# Reputation System to see how reliable a seller is
# Two-phase payments to protect buyers

And here is proof that he must have used silk road himself

I have an idea to code colored coins with R, G, and B components, a coin with FF00FF code would look as purple in the client.  It is a good idea?

Looks like this is going to be big.

Is anyone else going to support him or is he alone there?

Probably tomorrow (21.35 here) will be ok again - I just don't want we to rely on him because this is very important.
Unless the switch will come soon (end of week) so there is no point in making a new testnet.

Currently there are 2 guys working on it, one IT (he provides us with the server) and a programmer - the problem is with the programmer, so we need someone competent to talk directly (email, skype) with my IT guy!

sound like something from someone from the infrastructure team, is there someone willing to help here so we can go on with AE?

Why should you issue an asset if you have no idea how to use it? Just having an asset is like creating a altcoin without any features.

Didn't say I had no idea how to use it.

I own three plots of land that have no commercial or residential structure built on them. Should they be turned over to the state?

If a NXTer had 'an idea' on how to use an Auroracoin/AUR alias, it would've been registered already, right?

Should the alias fee be raised to 1000 nxt to give the 'idea people' time to get their shit together?

I'm simply bristling at this notion that squatters are nothing more than vultures when the big idea people are leaving valuable names and aliases available and then cry squatting when they're weeks late.

Been reading the thread, including a search for all 'test net' topics but I can't find a description of what exactly is the problem with test net?
So that may disqualify me from helping or trying to find help because  I don't understand and its already clear.
But if its not been clearly posted can someone post  clear description and then maybe people might be able to see whether they can help?

People know how to build buildings on that land. That's why land is precious.

But: Why should I build my service on top of an asset somebody else brought into existence? I can easily create my own one.

They try to make profit by someone else's ideas. I do not see a problem with preventing/mitigating that.
