utopianfuture,

While it is probably pointless to spend time debating the yuris of the world, think of him as the public perception ddos equivalent. The college prank ddos hit us and hit us hard because the network was so small. Did we ignore it and say, there is no point in beefing up our servers? Hell no! They attacked us, we defended the best we could and now our network is much stronger.

So, when the yuri's of the world attack us are we going to just take it and say there is not point in defending ourselves? Hell no! We MUST defend against this type of attack because it appeals to people's emotions of jealousy. Very powerful and it overrides logic. People will make up their minds emotionally and then find logical reasons to support their decision.

If someone like yuri can attack NXT's very core creation and success and twist it into a plausible "greedy 71" story, then we are in trouble. Since the key part of the story is BCnext's multimillion dollar giveaway, why aren't we pushing that storyline?

Mystery man gives dozens of strangers millions of dollars and disappears!

Isn't that MUCH better for NXT? I want to know how yuri will ddos this

I'd just split the money between Cfb's team and other programmers who did hell of a job. They'd find right application: buy more servers, pay for pr and other stuff. It would way better for Nxt future than just sell it to random people who'll resell all coins the same day on Dgex.

well, that's for ppl who want to sell nxt.
In my case, I already have XRPs in my wallet, and I want to buy nxt using these XRPs,
How do I let your system know that?

Did I send you my "first document" ? If not I am going to.

Maybe CfB can comment on the dev team's desire to manage a NXT marketing campaign?

I've programmed a lot of C code, from an entire C compiler to a realtime forex trading system. The NXT team is doing quite well and even though I could probably contribute in some minor ways on the technical side, my strength is more on the strategic marketing and finance side. I play chess at 2200 FIDE level. This means I can easily beat 99% of the people in the world at chess, but I get crushed by 1%. the NXT dev team is full of world class grandmasters, the last thing they need is some weak master slowing them down.

If we all had a 100% technology focus, we won't maximize the value of NXT. We all need to do the things that we can do well that will most leverage everything else that is going on. That means server people can do servers. dev people develop tech. communications people communicate. people who just want to help can support newbies. Everybody can contribute and each contribution makes NXT more valuable for all of us.

I am sure I see a gaping hole in what NXT is doing and that is in the strategic marketing. The wiki, videos, etc. are all fantastic starts and we just need to tweak the message to create a positive image for NXT. Companies that have nothing positive to offer manage to have very positive images. NXT is so positive in so many ways, it won't be hard to obtain the positive image it deserves.

However, we can't ignore it.

The "greedy founders" rhetoric is one of the few potential stumbling blocks that I see and I want to fix it so instead of being a negative or at best neutral story, it is totally positive. The unclaimed NXT represents potentially millions of dollars that can be painlessly given away by the founders.

Please some founders, can you provide some feedback?

newcn,

If you want to just purchase NXT via ripple, you don't need to use peercover's site. I work with them, I am not actually part of peercover.

In ripple you can type in any currency combination in the dropdown, so type in "NXT/XRP" and select peercover as the issuer.

There is no need to go to peercover site until you want to withdraw.

You don't know what to say because you don't know anything about me - my age, my skill level, my life commitments, my domestic circumstances. You don't know what I'm doing to help NXT, but it sounds like you have made some assumptions, and some judgments too.

I offered some feedback relevant to genuine concerns people have raised about big stake holders hoarding, and the damage it would do to NXT.

  Only 200 aliases... I feel I should have at least twice that. Some are registering hourly,,, some others are not adding though. Could it take more than 24 hours to update?

See someone locked in Sakura in all 30 plus ways it can be written   Still got an alt of it in 1337

It will be something like this, but I don't know when they will launch it. Maybe 3rd january?
Can you confirm CfB?
