On the NXT AE you can currently trade BTC, LTC, BTCD, DOGE, VIA, BC, with others in the pipeline.

I myself have had enough dealing with the risk of centralized exchanges.

I believe when abstream refers to bitcoin 2.0, he means decentralized exchange. I have tried Counterparty, Mastercoin, Viacoin, and NXT. I would recommend everybody to actually use each of these. I have found that the NXT Asset Exchange is by far superior.

Re: [ANN] BitcoinDark (BTCD)--Sha-256/PoW-PoS hybrid/Bounty Opportunities

The problem with these automatic purchases will be that the spread of the low volume coins will usually lead to a rather large hit upon conversion... any idea how that will be solved?

That was the one problem I could think of. It may be a far fetched idea, I was just throwing it out there.

What I don't understand is why oh why would I want to hold any actual BTCD token? That is great that it is providing the highway but when I already own Nxt and Bitcoin, both will be able to use this highway no problem, I cannot understand the benefit of owning any BTCD. The risk/reward just doesn't seem to be there for me to bother making such a purchase.

BTCD holders also receive dividends from SuperNET.

In order to send money anonymously, you must own BTCD - even if temporarily.
So must everyone else. So there will be demand for BTCD. The same could be said of gold - some people like to transact in it or use it store value. Maybe not you, but if you think more of those people are going to exist, then maybe there's a case for getting some.
Then you have the 5% stake, and the SuperNET dividends going to BTCD, which are separate from the SuperNET dividends going to holders of SuperNET.


So in order to use teleport you will require some btcd?

Now here I'm a little hazy. I think you may not have to, but BTCD will be involved at some point along the way. So although you may not directly own any yourself, if you want to send BTC anonymously, it will go through a BTCD transaction, and will have a fee attached too.
People that want to use Teleport will need to have some BTCD for the fees, which will be paid in BTCD telepods.
I also think we might need to have some bandwidth usage fees to prevent spam attacks, again to be paid with BTCD telepods

James

Any way for a purchase of BTCD to be made automatically in the background to cover the Teleport fee? I think it would streamline the process.

is the teleport still going ahead

To quote James...

"The SuperNET tech is being tested with about a dozen live servers and while it is not working perfectly, the bugs found so far do not seem so serious. As soon as the low level networking is solid, it will be possible to complete the higher level applications like Teleport, Tradebots, etc. Also, the API can be opened up for other coins to use and to implement their own special features."

Re: Can NXT be a real Crowdfunding Platform?

A friend of mine came with the idea, to fund a movie via nxt:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=802883.0

The market cap should be sufficent for crowdfunding like that. Don't you think?
I mean. Not only funding crypto coins and more cryptocoins but also other real business.
I think, that could really give a boost to NXT, if we put some placed advertisement in a movie.

Love the idea. Any info on the movie?

I guess there is quite a lot of information in the link.

I overlooked that...sorry. Good luck

Slightly OT, but my main gripe with NXT is the high transaction fee (1 NXT).


The current price of 1 NXT is $0.0283, so one transaction would cost $0.0283. The current price of BTC is $388.90, a transaction fee of 0.0001 BTC would cost $0.03889.

I really like NXT, but i also agree that the fee is too high. comparing to bitcoin is a bad idea. nxt is supposed to be a 2.0 currency, so obviously it should have more attractive features than bitcoin.

Transaction fee should be related to the total amount of coins in sensible manner, agree that dollar nominated comparisons are not meaningful, as are not PoW mining fees and PoS transaction fees . And in PoS like NXT, there will be whales in the beginning to whom the transaction fee does not mean anything, and interested new comers who get 2 nxt from the only functioning faucet, use 1 nxt to send 1 nxt to some address to get a public key to be able to start forging, and then happily forge with account balance of 0 NXT. Not most inviting newcomer experience, I can tell you Wink.

PS: FIMK has same total as NXT, but our transaction fee is 0,1. On the other hand, for some reason FIMK asset creation costs 1000 FIMK which is preventive for newcomers, and apparently we can't change that before before we make a major client update (totally new client with programmable plug-in interphase, which btw will make NXT jealous Wink).



No doubt crypto-currency technology will rapidly advance. The question is...how many bright minds are involved in the NXT community vs the spin offs? User base is very important, time will tell. The beauty of open source technology (and satoshi's creation of bitcoin) is that clones can be created and improved upon...from existing code (or not  Wink). No need for jealousy from NXT community...if your platform is superior, you will see a migration.

In the mean time, perhaps FIMK can try duplicating what's going on here...

Crowdfunding = pretty word for IPO

i would never get involved with any Crowdfunding / Kickstarter type of crap !

and in crypto it's a way to get Bitcoin to pad your bank account and don't tell me otherwise lol
when you have 400 grand in your bank account and your movie needs 200 grand trust me you will keep taking donations Wink
money.
corrupts.

take the recent BFL FTC court case for example.. they could so they did because people will.
staff asked BFL management why they don't do burn in's on the test-net and the boss said "because that doesn't make them any money"
the FTC has frozen their business operations and they have admitted their guilt.. the mined for coins with IPO'd asics.
because they could..

you want something ? get a job and pay for it.. don't ask me to pay for it for you .

Let us say Crowdfunding = pretty word for IPO. The average IPO costs around $500,000...creating a NXT asset or ("Crowdfunding" as you say) currently costs $28.40=1,000 NXT.

stealing is only stealing when you steal more than $1,000 ?

sorry if you suffer from down-syndrome i don't mean to whale on retards hahahha

edit:
i just don't get the lengths people go to TRY and justify pathetic scammy BAD behavior around here  Roll Eyes

1,000 nxt...not $1,000...quite a big difference. Your use of math and language says a lot about you. Good luck in your endeavours.

I think there are a lot of people that invest in NXT and just leave it on a centralized exchange.  I am guilty of this. The problem is they do not visit the NXT forum or try out the decentralized NXT asset exchange. You have to actually use the service and stay up to date on the progress taking place in the NXT community (which is quite a lot to keep up with Wink). Piece of mind comes with having my funds on a decentralized exhchange that actually works...and works fast.
