How to get the linux wallet working in ubuntu?  it does nothing when I click on it.  Thanks for any help.

I'm a stakeholder and am ready to send some as well.  And I have NOT sold nor intend to in the near future.

How about this - a WOW type of game in which weapons are forged in limited supply (and controlled by their very own block chain!)  those weapons gain power with use and time thus increasing in value and can be sold and traded in the game?

I can't immediately grok the game balance implications, but on its face it's a brilliant idea. RND would determine if a block would forge coins, a weapon, a spellbook...

How many 'variants' can (should) be forged in a block? Would tx fee in the block affect the RND or what was forged? What's the game logic behind an item gaining power with use? (most mechanics use durability, which isn't quite the opposite of what you're talking about, but close).
At what point do I/we/the voices in my head move this off-thread and over to a nxtopia web forum?

Been thinking about this more and I came to the same investor/player idea, but a little differently.  The source of weapons and accessories could be investors who put, for example, 10 nxt into the blockchain to make a basic sword. Game play would be free and a new user would get this sword for free - as this sword attains higher levels of power it gains in value and can then be traded (all game items that can be traded are items in the blockchain) - but it is forever linked to the initial investor who gets 10% of all future trades of the item.  It would be enforced by the blockchain itself.  Win for the player - free game and can make money, Win for the investor, win for the developer as they could be among the earliest investor - and the "premine" idea is a good one too I think to get the initial funds going.

I cant get it to run on my linux machine, but I run win 7 in virtual box and the wallet works just fine - no new equipment needed.

I'm a stakeholder with 20K - have not sold and have decided to buy some more UTC - things are looking good!

Interested already - anything actually happening?

Thanks for clearing that up for me!

I heard on Lets Talk Bitcoin a few nights ago that the Zerocoin protocol is being developed for NXT.  Does this mean that NXT is developing a Zercoin-like protocol or have the Zerocoin developers decided to build on top of NXT?  Are the developers working together?

Stakeholder - have 20k and have not sold not intend to sell for quite a while - and will never dump when I do - like making love - do it slow and gentle.

Also a stakeholder of 20K - no intention of selling either soon either - and when I do it will be in small doses - why dump? - thats just shooting yourself in the foot.

I've not sold any of mine - not for a long time

Hold your coins, don't drop below this price for a while - and when you do sale, do it in small amounts over a period of time to keep from crashing the market.

Thats the smart way of doing it.

I'm on chrome and the sites working great - try rebooting and using a couple differnet browsers.

I still prefer no government intervention in the exchanges - Fresh Market was a new untested exchange.  Even on the larger exchanges, I usually move money in for trade, then move it back out and store it in either a brain wallet or my secure machine.  When I do leave it in,  I leave it distributed in small amounts on multiple exchanges just in case something like this happens.  Invest defensively folks!  You want government regulation?  Watch your profits fly into the politicians pockets - it can be stolen either way - but you CAN"T protect yourself from the government!

I should qualify that $0.30 to $0.50 - I am talking the immediate future - and the closer we get to the feb 7 the more people will buy in anticipation of a price rise we could get close to that - and when it opens on the bigger exchange approaching a dollar could be possible.  I've thought of mining coins, but the reading I've done says that even is mining is mostly speculative - mining is usually a close to break-even endeavor that only becomes profitable when the coin increases in price - at a later date.

I've also been buying BTC since 2011 - and things have changed radically since then.  There was no competition, there was no general knowledge of crypto-currencies and they certainly had no (or very litte) value.  Today there is a plethora of coins, intense competition and the knowledge that they can be very valuable.  There are people invested in coin A that look at coin B with contempt and/or jealousy and people angry they didn't get in "early" enough or make enough money who would like to damage a new coin.  With the dangers involved in establishing a new coin, I think hiring a team of people knowledgable in SEO and marketing and such is a good idea.  How much are coders going to know about these areas?  So I am not upset that an initial investment was needed to get the coin goin.  If it doesn't work, at least they tried - and thats the risk we take (I'm an origing stakeholder).  But I think this coin probably will do well.  (my definition of well is $0.30 to $0.50 per coin).

I said it before and I will say it again "I Am A Stakeholder" with 20,000 coins - I have not sold and will never "dump".  I am a long term investor, I invested cheaply in many coins and am waiting several years to see where they go.  Even then, I won't "dump" as that drives the price down.  I leave my funds in crypto - don't like fiat - and I only cash out in small amounts when needed as I am already doing well financially.

As for the trolls - look at the flip side of this - a lot of trolls is actually a good sign - these are people who desperately want more coins, but they are trying to drive the price down before buying by bad-mouthing the coin.  If there was no demand for the coin, there would be no trolls.
