Nxt global corporate design

Ideenfrische has started working on a design to get our visual appearance together:

The Main idea is to be the one and only cryptocurrency with a professional global brand. The Logo is strong enough to show without the text. I think most people like clean design and loves dark and white colors. Doesn’t matter if he/she is a housewife or a scientist.

 

I know that NXT is more than a cryptocurrency, we know it, because we are nerds. But to catch a normal mind, to catch the critical mass, you must eyecatch the basic, the easy thing. The money. Not by Colored coins, asset exchange, dark material & worm holes. Not everybody would love it, but one Design over all is the priority and it is more important to Overall with a (maybe ugly) design in one and only Brand than inconsistent on every piece of things

Nxt Speakers wanted

Damelon (MC):

We need people who are willing and able to talk on single topics, Nxt in general and who can sit on panels. These need not necessarily be the same people! Some people can do very well on prepared topics, but don’t like to sit on panels where questions can be sprung on you. We will not let you go without any backup. We should aim to help any speaker to the best of our abilities and I’d like to set up a structure for that, so you can get the info and knowledge and skills you need.

 

Let’s work on this together!

Automated transactions

The code is completed.

Is NXT worth 30M at the moment, yes.

Will NXT be worth 500M in a year? I don’t doubt it for a fucking second, I am reviewing CIYAMS complete AT code and I can tell you this is just the beginning.

AT is a “Turing complete” method of executing code to do useful things 😉

My bitbucket account has been hacked, all my project files are gone… I still have eclipse backups though.

Someone is trying to hurt NXT…

Nxt Phaser

Phaser splits processing of transactions into phases. Sorry, I’m not a native English speaking person, so I just added “er” to “phase”. 🙂  This feature will make obsolete cold storage, escrow and few other things. Phaser includes Account Control. This is a big step to true decentralization.

Tom Waits:

What’s he building in there?

Eberon:

Hey community, I have some parts arriving the next days to build 5 RasPI-Solar Nodes. Pls remember, the RasPI is a dev board, also is my RasPI-Solar setup! It is not a customer product!

 

Price will be ~200€  had no time to calculate correctly. Marketing people that need one for the conferences will be prioritized. 1 Order already accepted! For Amsterdam conference. If you are interested, pls send me a PM. If I accept your order, I will PM you back. If you need everything setup like Raspian, latest NRS and Wlan configured, it will cost some NXT extra. 😉

Nxt nodes can be run on Raspberry Pi’s, so you don’t have to pay a cent in the summertime.

Mining Nxt

Hashrate.org had a facelift.
And the statistics: To this date 54.903 NXT has been paid out to 109 miners. Congrats!

Yes, you can “mine” for Nxt, the 100% PoS crypto.

BCNext’s plan, part 3

Genesis account / BCNext / George Orwell, 1984:

It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen.

BCNext has sent the final part of his plan/wishes for Nxt to Come-from-Beyond.

JackNeedles:

Anybody interested in understanding the motivations and rationale of BCNext:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=152600;sa=showPosts

Read the first 2 parts here:

1: Transparent mining, or What makes Nxt a 2nd generation currency
2: Transparent mining 2, or What part of Legacy should be left behind

And here it is:

3. Transparent mining 3, or What way to choose

BCNext (through CfB):

Bitcoin was a genious invention but implementation became corrupted by people whose aim was to make money, not bitcoins but dollars. BCNext was working on a project that required special conditions for its existence, he hoped that Bitcoin would change the society and prepare ground for the project. Half a year ago it became crystal clear for him that Bitcoin, as an idea of trustless money, had failed. A fix was required and it came in the form of Transparent Mining. “Transparent” is the key word here, it changes focus from “trust no one” to “don’t let to cheat”, because any cheating becomes obvious very soon (as soon as allowed by network latency). Nxt is just a work-around, it was launched to win more time and to conduct an experiment that was supposed to show if the society is ready for the main project of BCNext. He thinks that society can’t be completely decentralized, and Nxt will let to measure level of decentralization after which a society can’t function as a whole. Bitcoin relies only on math, but math can’t solve problems arising because of illogical nature of the man. Mining in Nxt relies on cooperation of people and even forces it. Without cooperation Nxt becomes weak and can be easily attacked. It’s like a system in unstable equilibrium, if people stop to care about cooperation then Nxt will fail very fast.

Now, when you know why Nxt was created your should choose what way to follow. The easiest one is to repeat the history of Bitcoin in hope that something will change. The alternative is to implement Transparent Mining and try to handle people imperfection. The latter can’t be done with pure math and even if you manage to find some laws you can’t be sure that these laws won’t change in the future. BCNext went for good, he doesn’t feel himself responsible for the future of Nxt, he implemented an idea that was obvious but noone tried to do it (maybe because creation of a Bitcoin clone was much easier). One day he will come back with his main project under his real name. Don’t try to find real identity of BCNext, he intentionally copied style and ideas of different people, if you think you found him then you are likely wrong. BCNext has never existed, this sockpuppet was created only for Nxt and will never appear again.

 

The plan always was very simple – to show the way that very obvious but avoided for some reason. BCNext doesn’t pretend that he possesses sacral knowledge and knows what is awaiting in the end. You are left on your own. Good luck.
