Moved to marketing but clueless on the editing part . @Ben maybe ?

I want to edit the original post of this thread to alter the title and add some marketing resources to the list, but I’m unable to.

Give it a try now. There was an obscure setting that may relate to being able to edit posts. I made a change to it but as an admin I’m not able to confirm the exact same access that you have. The setting made it look like the edit window for posts was one day, but that doesn’t sound right based on what I’ve seen.

In any case let me know.

That worked, thanks. I shortened the title a bit and added in a link to the history. Let me know if I should add in any more links.

I know it’ll be quite some work, but shouldn’t the white paper be updated as soon as possible? It’s an official document that interested people will definitely use to get a proper impression of our project. Not saying it’s overly important, but I like things to be on point.

It would be useful, but I suspect it is a low-priority item among the development team. Luckily we’ve taken care to update our Price Stability page with all the recent network improvements, including variable transaction fees, NBT burning, and liquidity pools: https://nubits.com/about/price-stability.

That page serves as an excellent resource for newcomers to the Nu network who are curious about how everything works. We’re always looking to improve the page if shareholders feel certain critical information is missing too.

I think it should be high priority. It’s outsiders’ first go-to document to learn about Nu.

Recently, there have been these buzz words -

Permissioned Ledgers
Private Blockchains
Blockchains Without Bitcoin
Consensus-as-a-service

Well, Nu (thanks to the Peershares template) is a private blockchain where shareholders/users are allowed actions only if they pass motions or provisioned motions.

HydraChain is an extension of the Ethereum platform which adds support for creating Permissioned Distributed Ledgers.

Needing a token to operate a distributed ledger is a red herring

As for volatility, the only way bitcoin will ever shake it’s toing and froeing is if it is pegged to the dollar by some powerful organization. Not likely. Nor will increased participation flatten out bitcoin’s screaming ups and downs. Unlike stocks, gold, or U.S. dollars, bitcoin lacks a non-monetary stabilizer (see here and here). Put differently, its price is indeterminate. More buyers and sellers participating in bitcoin markets will not change this fundamental fact. So contrary to hopes that Bitcoin will become more cuddly, its future is destined to be a frenzied one. Unless consumers are compensated for bearing this volatility, or shielded from it, they’ll keep using cards. If they can, retailers and payments processors should be trying their best to subsidize these costs. Without such subsidies, bitcoin is unlikely to ever achieve liftoff.

Hey, if anyone gets a chance, somebody asked a question here…

B&C Exchange is an upcoming decentralized Bitcoin exchange that allows users to...

Hey I know this is an old post, seems like a good place to ask though. If you get a minute could you explain how the peg handles the payouts from liquidity pools? I don’t understand how the NuBit liquidity can more than double every year without harming the peg.

Digital currency is not leveraged, nor is it created as debt. Digital currency is real money; your money. It is available the moment it is requested, and can be withdrawn regardless of local political or economic turmoil. When you hold fiat money, you bear a risk of not being able to recover the funds in your account in the event of a bank run - the speed at which one happens being the only changing variable depending on who holds political office. Fiat money is mere fantasy money; money promised to somebody else, money you are just taking care of, a number on a computer screen, a number without guarantee.

Nubits has a lot to say here.

@Coingame already found it. The rest might follow

Just saw this…

I hope we don’t overexpose ourselves on r/cryptocurrency. We don’t want to annoy people. Also, let’s make some posts in the actual article.

i sent bitpay a tweeter about Nubits

I responded to the scam accusation in the last article.

[Sentinelrv]

The Zapchain article needs attention from people. There are negative comments claiming there is no innovation in Nu.

[masterOfDisaster]

If I create crapchain.com and post negative comments about things you like, that lack even the slightest research, will you waste your time there, too?
Research that’s on the “Oh, I’ve found a reference in the source code to Peercoin, so it’s nothing but a clone” level will barely be beaten with facts as it will be called marketing - for the source code never lies!

Do with your time as it pleases you, but I think fighting unfounded claims is a little bit like fighting windmills - especially if there’s no broad audience.
Maybe I’m completely off with my assessment about zapchain’s audience - I for one have never heard of them…

What I read in the comments there is superficial to a degree that I think it will be very hard to really educate those people about Nu. I doubt they search for education - they already have a prejudice.
Convince me of the opposite!
