[ANN] [OFFER] Nxt to NEX - Exchange one Nxt to 50 NEX coins - LIMITED!

[FrictionlessCoin]

Is this not a worth while goal?

It is. Any ETA on client soft?

That actually is a very interesting question.

There is one group that wants a clone of Nxt.

Then there is another group that wants something better.

We can do the clone of Nxt right now... it is just a configuration of the genesis block.

But we can also do something better.


Decisions, decisions, decisions!!

Let's just clone Nxt. It's faster.

Possibly.

That wouldn't have the nice LV1/LV2 stuff though?

No just straight clone.

Maybe just the address to the way bitcoin does it..... maybe just that.

Or if easy,  replace also the persistence implementation.

Replace persistence after first release.

I just realized that 0.5.10 was release for Nxt and there is this note:

Progress Report: The refactoring of 0.6.0 is going well. The Nxt project now consists of 86 java files instead of 1. I will proceed to work on persisting blocks and transactions in a database some time next week. I do not plan to release 0.6.0 until absolutely necessary, because it does not contain any new user visible features and at this point is likely less stable than the 0.5.x series. Urgent bugfixes and new API's, if needed, will still be added to 0.5.x. Any Nxt clone projects that have been eagerly awaiting the 0.6.x series, so that they can benefit from my refactoring work for free, will have to continue waiting, while we make progress.

Should we wait for the refactoring to be done for the clone?

We've already refactored the decompiled stuff ourselves.

Would you like to trade refactorings then?

Let's stick to ur version, I'm looking forward to start trading NEX on MtGox.

Does this mean you're going to make the code available again, the one on github that you took offline recently? I think you promised it 2-3 days ago:

No,  that is old cold.  

The clone will just be the refactored version,  removing all legacy Nxt code from earlier blocks.

So changes are very simple.

(1) Change address mechanism
(2) Change how money is handled
(3) Change persistence
(4) Remove all old Nxt block chain code

That is all that is needed.  

If I really work on it,  I should be ready by the weekend.

I think I will rename this project NIX.   Give it all to the community.  You will need to register your own domains to promote it.   I will just maintain the code.

U forgot:

(5) Remove the trap that doesn't allow to use another genesis block

Please increase my contribution to 10 000 NXT

edit: giving it to the community would be amazing - and would get NEX off to a good, ethical start.

Sorry, Frictionless Carlos but "NIX" is taken already, I always(*) told you this name would be great, and now I claimed it...


Besides I think this is a wonderful idea, all to the community, no buy-in with NXT, no stake for the devs/you, all free!
That would prove how much you rock!

PS:
I wouldn't mind this famous flaw, nobody has found it until now (probably nobody ever will), and C-f-B is your friend now.

PPS:
Think it's best to start a completely new thread, golive this weekend, great news, so excited!



(*)first time here

...
PS: might consider changing the name from NEX to NIX?

[aTriz]

My contribution put me down for 10,000 NXT

(I posted in other thread but ill post here as well)

Here is the current distribution plan.

420,000,000 will go to the VisaCoin folks. 

The remainder 640,000,000 will go to those who reserve here.

The name for this coin will tentatively change to NIX.

I don't like NIX, sounds like "New iXcoin".

Okay,  VIX then.

So, 1.06 billion coins split 39.6% VisaCoin scammees, and 60.4% bought using NXT? Any allocation to the dev team? What about those registering for interest on the other thread, is that for VIX/NIX or NEX? I imagine those scammed by NEON will feel a bit left out.

[luckygenough56]

Count me in for 1500 NXT  

Like the forging protocol !!!

[LiQio]

Okay,  VIX then.

Is VIX not trademarked ticker symbol?...
I wouldn't risk it - coins are too close to finance.

After some thinking I would pass on NIX though, you could use it until further notice

Keep it as NIX, mate, VIX is a cough medicine.
NIX is much better.

I disagree. NIX = New iXcoin = premined coin. VIX is not very good but still better.

Okay, see your point.
Hmm, what about GIX then?

DIX ?

PRIX ?

[luckygenough56]

How about FIX ? this coin is a NXt fix after all 

[Come-from-Beyond]

Well, I changed my mind. NIX is fine.

[Come-from-Beyond]

We could use MIX to show that this coin is a mix of all best features from other coins...

Edit: No, I changed my mind again. NIX is the best coz we could use NXT graphics.
