Texas Bitcoin Conference Strategy Discussion
Hey everybody, I want to start talking about the Texas Bitcoin Conference in Austin on March 5-6.
http://texasbitcoinconference.com
We made some initial contacts in Miami about this. I have written both the official request-to-be-a-speaker email address and also Paul Snow, the conference director, and have heard nothing back at all about getting to be a speaker to introduce NXT. I think I may be getting deliberately ignored. I sent another email this morning asking for a thumbs up / thumbs down statement from them about doing a talk for NXT, I'll let you know what I hear - or don't.
Whether or not they let me stand up and talk, I am going. My jet ticket has been bought and I have reserved a car and hotel room about 5 miles from the site. Now the question is, what do I do when I get there?
Do you want me to just walk around trying to hand out stuff or do you want me to sit behind a table that says NXT?
It's $2500 for a 2X2 foot square floor space (roughly a half-square meter, for an unmanned display) and $4000 for a seven foot long (two meter) skirted table with two chairs in the exhibit area.

If we get a table - then what? I REALLY like the idea of running Salsacz'a Iceland video on endless 90 second loop if an NXT user in Austin can loan me a HDMI TV for two days. What else can we get ready in 30 days? 2000 business cards? 2000 plastic 3D keychains? 2000 giveaway brochures? What do they say?
If we are going to build off the great start we got in Miami to do even better in Austin, we need to start NOW !!!

well if nxt wants to 'smash it' so to speak it really needs a next gen client that's simple to use and ready to go. It's all well and good showing what nxt can do compared to bitcoin but to show its next gen it needs the client no offence.
I have a UK account but wouldn't use it. .. Mine was blocked just because I went on a online shopping spree. Had a phone call claiming to be the fraud team ...
That happened to me too, yesterday actually
.The banks in both the UK and the US are implementing creeping de-facto currency controls, they are in big trouble with liquidity now that the Fed is tapering off QE.
Well my post wasn't to discourage you rickyjames with regards to using your uk account for bittylicious but to highlight what uk banks are doing to restrict personal accounts. HSBC recently had a limit on how much cash you could withdraw unless you had a explanation for it (like a receipt from a builder etc) but this has been reviewed.
I have known for a long time that my bank has similar restrictions but it was always a case of notifying them in advance of a large cash withdrawal. Though never had to explain what the money was for but now im sure I would have to.
My feeling is for a personal account accepting money and sending money to various accounts via bank transfers is just going to get you a lot of interest quite quickly. Even though its not you're main account I can see it might worth a try but for a persons main account no way lol, it might be froze for the bank to look into and that might take a while. To long for a account that's in use for daily things.
Any UK Nxt holders? We need to position ourselves to get on Bittylicious to increase liquidity. The ability to purchase Nxt without Bitcoin is a big deal and one we should put some energy towards.
I was hoping somebody else would step up to the plate on this one, but since they haven't. here's my two cents, er, shillings worth. I have a UK Barclays bank account I use to fund my online poker adventures. It's a totally legal one in my own name, no funny business; I've filed the correct paperwork on it with the IRS and Department of the Treasury here in the US and even voluntarily gave up the number for it during my last security clearance interview. I go thru a proxy and look like I'm in London since the online poker sites block me otherwise coming from an American IP address block. All of these gyrations are due to the 2006 UIEGA anti-online-poker act that was passed here in America, land of the free; but I digress...
Bottom line, I've got the UK bank account but I have no desire to sell any of the NXT I've accumulated. However, I understand the importance of getting NXT hooked up to Bittylicious so I'm willing to try and help. If I've got enough public trust built up here, maybe people could dump NXT they wanted to sell into one of my toy NXT accounts, Bittilocious could take it out of that account to give to a buyer, send GBP to my Barclays account, and I could send that back to the original NXT holders via Moneybookers/Skrill (I've also got accounts there, too.)
This would require me to be a trusted middleman, which I'm OK with if you are.
If we really want to pursue this, let me know, I'll do my part to get NXT rolling in the UK.
I have a UK account but wouldn't use it. Banks really don't like unusual transactions (which these would be, although you could explain what they are for, a person in the bank would have no idea) and will block your account pretty quick. Mine was blocked just because I went on a online shopping spree. Had a phone call claiming to be the fraud team at the bank and I was yeah right "fuck off". Phoned up the bank on their number and yep it was genuine. Though it would depend on volume and amount banks are very paranoid at the moment.

hmm seems legit.
who gives a fuck about Mark Cuban?

The issues all come down to Dgex, which is the only exchange for Nxt and the only source for coinmarketcap stats. The site is often unavailable (ddos attacks) and subject to manipulation, furthermore, they've implemented outrageous fees causing many to shy away from trading.
Which is why we should move some trading over to Peercover. Not all trading, but some of it, just to test the waters. There aren't any fees and you don't even have to deal with XRP save for the reserve which comes down to less than a dollar's worth. Don't know why people are still hesitant to moving over there.
The reason i don't trade there because I don't like NXT-XRP exchange, trading for bitcoin via XRP giving me a headache. And you don' have a BTC-NXT order book.
well common theme but as I have been following this for ages main gripes are -
Its slow - I read its done manually
Fees - omg what a bastard!
Trust - Has he ripped any one off? No? well put a price on that while u scan about the alt coin landscape.
Obviously he will run away with millions when I post this, but dgex has been about at start and say what you want, slow, useless etc its not really regarded as a scam for your coins.
ok. so why wasn't every account active given a public key rather than having to make a transaction.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=345619.msg4352067#msg4352067
yeah appreciate your time to answer but il ask a question as simply as I can in the hope I can get a answer as simple
1 at start long password needed.
2 very long password needed 70+
3 as above with public key - as accounts with out public key seem to be called darknxt and have a 64 compared to 256 thingy. ok why?
that's it. my question from start
But how does my super long password become stronger with a public key? I can only think it has to do with the blockchain and the information it contains. So is this assumption correct? When was this implemented, and when was it made a necessity to have a public key as this seems to be only after new year I read about this.
I think it was wrote a lot of times, but I write it again 
You password is private key. It is used to generate public key. Then public key is used to generate hash. Then part of the hash became your account ID.
Until you get any transaction, there's no account in blockchain. You can "unlock" any number of accounts in client software - it doesn't mean anything for network.
So when you get at least one transaction, blockchain store you account ID.
But until you send any transaction, it is only account ID, and nothing else.
When you send transaction, it is signed with your private key. At the same time public key is send, so other nodes can verify this signature, and verify that you send coins from your own account.
So when you send at least one transaction, blockchain store you account's public key.
It is by design, and the same scheme is in BTC too for years, except that BTC account ID is 160 bit length, while Nxt uses only 64 bit now.
When some thief want to steal your money, he need to find your private key.
When you have sent transaction, thief need to generate private key that match you known public key. It is almost impossible.
When you have no transactions out, thief need to generate private key that match only account ID. It's hard now, but will be possible in some years.
Btw, in Nxt you need not to send coins to make public key available in blockchain. Simplest and cheapest way is to create some alias with 1 NXT fee. Or if you have some amounts of coins just wait until you account forge one block, even empty one.
thank you mate
I can read that and go ok. I kind of get it but yeah I see what it means. cheersactually why don't accounts that get sent nxt have this?
ps 'When was this implemented' I mean with regards having a long password not good enough and having to have a public key as well. clarification.
This was implemented in NRS 0.0.0
ok. so why wasn't every account active given a public key rather than having to make a transaction.
Im quoting you James as you have laid out a post that has the most elements for my questions. Thanks.
Ok been reading about this 'darknxt' in a few posts. Read some rather agitated post's wanting to ban them and others saying its accounts that have not sent nxt at all. Righteo got that when I tried to get my public key (local get public key)- didn't have one, but sent a nxt got a public key wonderful. I feel so secure.
Enough background im curious. pubkey, the one I log in and out with I take it yes? I mean if I fly over to any one else running nxt say hi and bash my password in I would get my account? Is this correct? I am going to assume this the case and ask why it is insecure until I send a nxt so making a public key?
I am totally un-technical so im going to take a stab at trying to understand this. All accounts are in the blockchain. Unless you're account has a public id in the blockchain it has a vastly inferior encryption method (ie need to make a alias, transaction or mine a block to get this public id). This in beginning or middle even was never explained and im only hearing this recently (well as far as posts keep expanding rapidly). So was this a bug or a fault found, because it sounds like it. I am going to assume this is an attempt to stop people trying to mine/crack the blockchain (which is d/l by anybody) and was added in after the release? Because this sudden need for this makes it seem so. But..
As i say, I am not technical so if anyone could explain it in simple, start, why, because, manner I would be grateful, as to a layman when I read posts about people wanting to ban accounts that have made no transactions and not reading about any valid reasons to do so makes me question even more this concept.

Well I thank you for your time to take to answer this but this does not answer my questions
Yes I am aware what a brain wallet is in regards to nxt. But how does my super long password become stronger with a public key? I can only think it has to do with the blockchain and the information it contains. So is this assumption correct? When was this implemented, and when was it made a necessity to have a public key as this seems to be only after new year I read about this.
As to the last 2 post's you posted I did specify im non technical as stated.
regards
ps 'When was this implemented' I mean with regards having a long password not good enough and having to have a public key as well. clarification.
I don't think that is a huge issues. The 250m are most likely from people that don't even know that you have to make a transaction to create a public key.
Hell i didn't know until 7 days ago and i have 6 digits of them...
Hell i didn't know until 7 days ago and i have 6 digits of them...
It is not clear to me (and possible to others). What is the difference between accounts with pubkey and without? My digits are also worried.
Accounts without a pubkey are only protected by 64bits. It is a first used, first gets basis. Basically even if you created the account by funding it, if you never associate a pubkey to the acct, ANYBODY who stumbles onto the 64bit key will control the account with their 256bit key.
The risk of keys being intercepted online is the usual reason people have for sending funds to an acct, but never using that acct. This backfires. Best to do one transaction. Any transaction and get 256 bit protection which is not projected to be cracked for at least another 8.957 years. Just kidding, 256 bit passwords with high entropy that new clients will enforce (hopefully) will be safe until further notice. Need some giant breakthroughs in crypto busting algorithms or hardware (quantum computers from the future) to even have a chance at breaking 256 bit keys. 64 bit keys, not so strong. Dedicated banks of ASICS could probably become a threat in as little as 5 years.
For significant holdings I recommend a fragmented wallet, eg. 10% in 10 different wallets each with different keys.

So for this has been a utter joke. Alpha status at start. Client hacked no trustworthy d/l available. Main dev off to make his own coin at some point in future. ah comon what is this shit?
I don't now if I should cry or laugh. But this is total comedy central. It is better than TV shows.
We pulled 21 bitcoins, because nobody else wanted, so we rule. Go buy now NXTs for 0.10 US cents now!!! Go!!! Get alsiases from us, extensions to web browsers. Cool thing, then you can spam them Russian style /viagra-cialis-casino/, We traumatized google with this for about the decade and made money. Also we have some secret projects going on...
....600 pages about how things cannot be done, because of "this and that"....
You are free to sell.
oh thanks didn't realise that. I will just sit tight and observe community development. I think stuff like this needs a big stick looking at it. Still I like the concept but needs control over it rather than community 'efforts'
This is harsh there have been some really good ones like blockchain site. But I still stand on my point above.

So basicly NXT has nothing. 
nothing at all, not even within on month you talk about more then five weaks! In the meantime eMunie is launched and there r others starting as well.
this is a major set back and I shall have to review my investment. I am not a DEV I want results and no delays;
NXT had a good chance to make it but lost it here.

The Revenge of the Trolls!
no not a troll. been following this from the start. and like all start ups it has its own good points and bad ones. bad ones way outnumber the good ones so far. This is a good concept but is undercooked from the oven and needs more thought to make it right rather than the ad hoc method so far.
If the concept was to make the community dev the project as it goes on like a true decentralised project then I applaud it but the reality has been different so far.
I fucking hate cheerleaders who declare any one with a negative opinion 'trolls'. get a grip debate.
