Hey Aaron,
I'm putting on a debate about Metacoin layers on FRIDAY in miami, will anyone able to speak about NXT be able to attend? Mastercoin, Ethereum and Bitshares will be there. This will run on LTB as a full episode next week.

Oh how I wish I were in Miami. Or anywhere even close.
I don't know how I feel about Nxt being described as a metacoin, but since Ethereum is also on the list, it's not so bad. I have noted that Andreas has mentioned Nxt a few times as "a layer on top of Bitcoin", though, which bugs me.
I've been thinking about a few topics lately that Nxt proponents should address, because they're also hot topics in the Bitcoin world: fungibility, transparency vs security, counteracting centralization, the "mining economy", numbers of transactions per block (and how they change over time) as a measure of value, maintaining strong consensus on the network, and "scarcity" (which I am beginning to think is simply a myth in the digital realm). I think Nxt has some interesting solutions for these issues and think we should be documenting them in the whitepaper. I swear I'll get to it one day.
I'm also wondering where we are with finding someone to take the 10BTC fund for a cryptanalysis on Curve25519 key generation and EC-KCDSA signing...? I stumbled upon this guy, from Amsterdam, who proposed a Curve25519 cryptanalysis in 2009, and am wondering if any of our Netherlandic friends (Damelon??) might want to poke him: Cees de Laat
Interesting event there. Could Niffy present NXT and talk about technical stuffs ? I don't think any technically strong guy plan to be in Miami yet.
What's a pity. could someone go ? It is a excellent chance to present NXT. Ferment ? wesleyh ? Cfb ? how much would be a Belarus-Miami flight ticket ?
How about Ola
Nifty is a great network engineer, but not a developer. Guys, it would be worth putting some of that bounty toward flying one of our developers to the conference. Getting in front of the movers and shakers is one of the most important PR opportunities for Nxt.
someone is probably better than no one and its almost thursday already. spread this around to everyone you can and lets just see if we can get ANYONE there by friday.
