any great coin to invest?which coin will go up in value?

i have to agree NXT is a shitcoin... as it is quiet worthless... thats if you only care about the coin itself.... But the NXT platform and ability for devs to tap into the system is going to be the game changer.

Besides that obvious fraudulent nature of the whole NXT operation from the start up to date, the endless vapourwares and pathetic assets on their "exchange", NXT offers nothing that is not possible to achieve with Bitcoin and for that reason the operation makes no sense whatsoever in a market where the lead status of Bitcoin is pretty much established.
Even Bitcoin is having serious problems with acceptance from real world users, after 6 years we have less users than a dating site. As we see, it will be hard work to achieve a wider acceptance even for Bitcoin. I am not sure what makes think NXT users that a shady scam operation can win over users which Bitcoin couldn't.

Before I invested in NXT I went over the still manageable amount of NXT threads on this forum for many hours, time and time again.
I checked the incoming transactions on 1BCN1ugdKdWd9pQ8Am9hMhtHZfmbXzxE8a and tried to find out who-is-who. Many founders could be identified easily and many after investing some investigative work.

There is still a lot hidden or unknown to me, but calling NXT a scam founded by a "handful of people who created the original 73 shill accounts" actually insults my intelligence.

NXT is an interesting experiment and I salute the experimenters.  The question in my mind is: what incentive is there for stakers to secure the network?  It seems the coinbase rewards are nil.  So, it is a combination of altruism and simply the desire to keep the network alive to maintain the value of holdings.  Is this enough?  We will find out. 

This isn't true 2FA. In 2FA the code is generated dynamically, so it changes every 30  second and can't be reused.

What you describe here is static password in the phone that you are scanning instead of typing.

That isn't 2FA

Nxt client never saves the password  anyway, so if you don't like typing that password, you can write an app that scans it instead. Same thing. This isn't 2FA

I don't understand NXT, this coin can be mined by miner or not? Simple question.

I know there have been thousands of knock offs of Bitcoin but I want to make my own coin. I have some ideas which will hopefully make it a distinct coin and a legit coin which will actually be worth something. Unfortunately, I don't have the skills as far as programming and other things to make it and I was wondering if anyone was willing to help

glad Im not the only one who saw that.  and with the way BTC seems to be foundering on the subject, my guess is MS will come out long before sidechains do

Would have saved me some BTC (I knew I was gambling so it didn't bother me much)

How customizable will MS coins be when it goes live on testnet?  I know we have a few set options like POW and Coin Mixing, but will we be able to add advanced features via API or will more options just be added by devs in future releases?

That is true. However as with every decentralized currency (which those Nxt Currencies will be), they start with a social contract. That is, people will only have faith in the newly created currency when they can trust the stability and adherence to the social contract of the currency.

Currencies of the MS are not supposed to change once they are created AND in production.

Only new currencies would enjoy new properties later introduce than those initial ones.


But yes, people are free to suggest and to shape the decentralized nature of the Nxt economy platform.

Because you can set a block height so if your target crowdfunding Nxt goal isn't reached, the MS coin isn't created and everyone gets their money back (called Reservable).  With Assets, people buy the Assets and their money is gone regardless if the target is reached. 

Did someone say decentralized crowd funding platform?

You can say that again! 

Crowdfunding in completely transparent and decentralized way? Sounds like a great use case to me, more ideas will come, I'm sure.

I don't really understand the PoW minting inside PoS currency, but hey, old habits die hard I guess.

We're still working on that, and actively taking suggestions. The core ORA team have been brain storming for quite a while, and it's like our holy grail, "what will people use ORA for, what problems does it solve, how does it make people's lives better?".

We're working on the assumption that we don't necessarily have to have all the answers before we proceed, as long as it's really really obvious to everyone that we're NOT a scam or joke, and so investing time & effort into ORA isn't going to be a bad experience. I think after more than 6 months, with no IPO/ICO etc it should be obvious that we're serious about this project, and our invitation to everyone and anyone to join ORA is sincere.

We don't have ALL the answers (or even the majority of them) but we have built a decent community framework so far, and that gives me confidence that over time new people will join ORA, and some of those people WILL have great ideas!!

ORA is a starfish, no leader, just a trajectory

We decided that MS system has everything we needed, and no real disadvantages.

At the moment we're working on a proposal suggested by coinsolidation (bitmark dev) to let holders of dead & dying alt coin 'burn' their coins in exchange for ORA coins.

ORA has been trading on the NXT AE for some time now, but ORA stakes were initially distributed for FREE or in exchange for people contributing effort, and we want to continue with that 'vibe', and letting alt coin holders burn effectively worthless coins in exchange for ORA lets us increase our community size, and it doesn't require us taking money from people, but does offer a method that prevents abuse. It might also compensate some people in a small way for 2014 losses.

There's still a lot of details to work out, and we welcome opinions from ALL comers!

ORA community is very small, but still active

Chuck, am I right to think that other properties can be added in the future? Depending on what people want/dream up?
