For the public record: The issuer of NxtRoad has sent unsolicited assets to my account. Upon return of said assets with a note asking that no more unasked for assets be sent, another set of Nxt Road assets has been issued to my account.

This action and the behavior of the NxtRoad asset issuer to others who have tried to get rid of these unsolicited assets (continually sending more) compels me to keep these assets and any others he may send. I will not sell them or burn them or return them. I will hold them and share this account with any law officials that may investigate this activity in the future.

This note is to reiterate that I have not asked for or purchased these assets and will never knowingly participate in illegal activity. And for the historical record, I restate that these assets were sent unsolicited to my account and to the accounts of many others in the Nxt Community.

1.  I want to let everyone know that myself, QBTC, Uniqueorn, and Damelon have been on video conference with John to investigate this matter.  The others will confirm what I say when we finish the talk with John.

2.  We are trying to be as neutral as possible to investigate this matter.  So far John has answered all our questions and has been very cooperative and has not been evasive in his answers.  He has been open to volunteer access to his personal emails, computers, etc for forensics review.

3.  We will figure out what we need from John to investigate this matter further and he is being cooperative and open to give us access to his personal accounts because he wants his name cleared.

Please give us some time so we can review and research this matter.

Thanks for your patience.

I see Graviton has added it to dgex and I worry that this might all just be a ridiculous joke at this point.

new video - The future of money, speech and internet - Nxt: http://youtu.be/H4HW-TP9RD4

Here:

And here:

http://youtu.be/LGrwcsy7-UQ (yours)

We need this video removed immediately. It is plagerism - and there are serious repercussions.

If nothing else, the loss of reputation as a trustworthy community working to create a unique crypto platform. How can we be believable about our "built from scratch" if we steal other people's hard labor to promote it? 

I will not condone or endorse this.

Please remove it for the sake of Nxt!

Fixed it (I Think); If not, can someone send me the font?

Great work.

I tried to make it slightly different.

Utterly agree, thats sweet.

I'm going to wait another 12 hours or so, if no-one has any objections/better designs let me know, otherwise I'm going to go with QBTCs logo above.

@QBTC; thanks, mate. U r a star!

Bitcoin2014 Conference Amsterdam 15-17 May Update....

I would like to request a logo and maybe a short intro text.
The conference organisers need to have a high-quality NXT logo for their conference website/guidebook/app:

http://bitcoin2014.com/
(Scroll down to "Contributing Sponsors" , 70% to bottom of page, for examples of other logos)

We already have some logo resources, and I'll post a few here soon, but if there is anything I miss, or if someone wants to create something new (keeping within our current branding material, no major changes, please) please post it and help choose the best.

A short introduction text for NXT would also be useful. 2 or 3 lines of text that completely cover what NXT is....get writing.

There are a lot of other interesting developments on the conference front, but I'll let Damelon cover the RHOS story.
My contact for speaker slot organisation wasn't available today, I'll be trying again tomorrow (thursday) to get her on the phone.
I'd like to have some more info from Damelon about RHOS, if possible, see what needs to be added to our conference package to cover their activities.

Anyway:
Logos, please....that is my current priority for the next 12-24 hours.

 

I wasn't aware that he was designing the house style and new nxtcrypto.org website. We did have contact, but I thought he was designing stuff for himself  Good to know!

Not primarily, but we have to be realists here: we want NXT to grow, for that to happen NXT first has to prove that it has value. Bitcoin had to crawl that road for years.
And also regarding GAMBLING: what is wrong with gambling? Especially things like poker that is a game of skill and statistics and not a game of luck? I see no ethical or moral problems there.

As for "silkroadish" types, I already said I am not for anything illegal. Marijuana is legal several places, but the MEDIA attention these things get is worth millions of dollars in advertisement.

And I would think the thought of being of help in terms of remittance would be more important than both those things combined?
Remittance = immigrants money being sent back to their families in impoverished nations. Today they are getting robbed for 12.5% of this money, in NXT all the money would go directly to the people and (not exagerating) save thousands of lives.

There are infinite uses for NXT, but I am outlining the biggest current markets that cryptos is entering.

I'd love to discuss the topic with you so you can explain what you find wrong with gambling/legal marijuana

What are our key target groups? Define at most three.

1) Remittance: 550 billion dollar market which is currently monopolized by Westernunion with it's 12.5% fees.

2) Gambling: the vast majority of Bitcoins market is gambling due to there being restrictions in several countries, denying it's citizen the right to spend their money on gambling games.

3) Silkroadish: regardless of what you think about it, Silkroad basically made Bitcoin and I am not advocating anything illegal, marijuana is legal several places now. (This gives media attention more than anything)

Bonus: 4) Libertarian types who hate all things regulated.

I have some WWE fans that follow my Twitter stream. They must be completely confused 

Damelon,

Sending more Nxters to Bitcoin meetups to educate Bitcoiners and gain new users is one of the great ways Nxt can gain traction.
Thanks for donating 500 NXT to be distributed in paper wallets in Ireland.
We need more of this type of activity.  Hence the Swarm Request.  We can Swarm the Bitcoin meetups, ethereum meetups, and schedule Nxt meetups and give away NXT Paper Wallets.

QBTC, Great work on keeping Nxtcrypto up to date on web, FB, and Twitter. Thanks!

Allwelder, thanks for all your Nxt web work.  I haven't looked at your search rankings.

Mario123, please add some Nxt NXT Cryptocurrency  etc.  KEYWORDS to the metadata of your sites. 

Currently Nxtcrypto sits at #4 on Google Search and mynxt.org is not on the first page of results.  Nxt needs better search ranking.

Nxt Search Engine Optimization is needed.  All Nxt Webmasters please update your html metatags.  Thank you.

High Search Engine Rankings are a good way to add Nxt interest.

QBTC maintains the maind page, the main FB page and the main Twitter account.

I believe Uniqueorn is already heading a Swarm, but I don't know if this is social media aimed.
Justabit also heads a swarm.

Allwelder heads all Chinese social media and already has a big weibo community there.

Meetup sounds like a nice idea. I just gave an Irish guy 500 Nxt to spread at his local Bitcoin meetup: https://nextcoin.org/index.php/topic,4272.0.html
Seemed like a good investment, which hopefully brings a few people in.
