not at the start. Once AT will be enabled, someone can create such a pair with NXT in the background

A strong new today for cryptocurrency, and a strong argument especially for nxt which have a faster transaction confirmation than bitcoin .

visa and mastercard have block credit card operation of some russia vip.

this fact is very interesting :
Our french national radio (not only me), pose this question :
 How we can trust this 2 money transfer network if european are totally dependent of the ''goodwill' of USA, especially for the future of europa

this is a great change of paradigm.    

The US shut down SWIFT wire transfers years ago see source http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/16/world/middleeast/crucial-communication-network-expelling-iranian-banks.html?_r=0

and forced the Iranian oil trade to move to gold settlement.

Now the US shuts down banking services for international Visa and Mastercard customers highlighting the weakness of a centralized payment system.

Nxt and Nxt AE is evolving out of necessity for a secure decentralized payment and trading system.

The problem with the alias thing is that it's a hack, I show this as a proof of concept and hope that we can get another field added to the asset exchange table format. (unique suffix). That's the only purpose that the alias serves, and could just as well be integrated in the asset table itself.

Same for tagging, which should follow a similar approach to the DGS.

honestly i think it would be best never to let that happen for a couple of reasons. it forces people to use nxt which inflates the value and strengthens the security of the network but also it forces the markets to be deeper and more liquid thus reducing volatility and generating more accurate and reliable price signals.

Well, I do not agree with you Anon, really some market need to not be tied to the value of Nxt. Just think of the USD link to the Oil industry. This is great example, and this is really problematic for the US right now. USA have a huge responsability concerning this matter. In the end, pegging everyting to Nxt will put too much pressure on the Nxt devs or the Nxt network. I think it is better to let the market choose what best currency a thing need to be denominated to. Most thing could be value in Nxt, but not everything. Better to let free will. In the end, Nxt is the platform 2.0 ecosystem. Denomintaing everything in Nxt will focus NXT to be to much of a 1.0 crypto. To much centralization toward Nxt is not good either.

I don't think Nxt need to be inflate, Nxt ecosystem value will come by its ability to solve real world problems.

Please detail more your opinion on this matter. I know you are talented to express your thinking.

@TwinWinNerD Hopefully, I hope only Nxt fee will be involve in the background.

I just typed out a nice response and got a 502 Bad Gateway.  Here it is again.

If Nxt AE does not allow people to choose any pair they like then another 2.0 platform will deliver this free market. Nxt currently has the most efficient blockchain available and the strength of NXT will be in the massive free trade made possible by the ecosystem. Nxt AE limits it's usefulness if it attempts to have NXT a part of every pair. The price of NXT will rise from the use of the Nxt AE; the network will grow. People will initially want to trade in pairs that already exist. Nxt AE should facilitate this ability. Nxt AT extends these capabilities to enable "dead capital" to be titled and traded.

In the long run, Cross Chain Transactions will allow seamless cryptographic trading (likely from smart phones) allowing instant atomic trade of any cryptographic pair completely outside of the Nxt AE.

+1
I hope that Nxt will FIRST deliver this free market. Only Nxt fee should be include for any transaction happening on the Nxt network. Nothing more.

I wouldn´t, but who knows.

agree
