• I think We need a couple of moderators to look over the forums when admin is gone.
• Maybe we could add some translations to get more people to NXT
• This forum could be bigger if more people from around the world join in.

Just 3 from the top of my head.

We should strive to get Nxt onto www.coinmarketcap.com to show how it stacks up against competing cryptocurrencies.

This is the coinmarketcap thread on bitcointalk - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=199685.0

As far as I see the requirements for a listing are to have an "Abe (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Abe) based block explorer" and a means of determining the current Nxt/BTC exchange rate. Would a simple API on dgex.com suffice?

From poster huyha123 recently in coinmarketcap thread:

specify these 2 to be added.

1. block explorer
2. one market where it trade

[kevinkms]

I can do some translation in chinese

Yea maybe you / someone can go ahead and inquire what's required, we already have simple market data at http://dgex.com/ticker.cgi and will soon add buy and sell levels API.

Does the NXT block explorer comply with the Abe requirements?

Other parts are progressing nicely, we now have the mods here and there is a DGEX charts bounty on the new bounties section on this forum.

I just realized that coinmarketcap probably wants the blockchain explorer to determine the number of coins in circulation! We will only ever have 1 Billion - so that's taken care of already! Your ticker page might be sufficient. Excellent!

Edit: The current market cap right now (Latest Trade: 1 Nxt = ฿0.00001099, ฿1 = $1073.05) is $11,792,819.5! We'd rank 11th on www.coinmarketcap.com right now!

Quote from Gliss on Bitcointalk who is the creator of coinmarket cap:

What's the criteria for new currencies to be added to the list?

1. It's a crypto-currency
2. It's traded on an exchange with an API
3. There is a URL somewhere that shows the total supply of coins in real time

Should we set up a Reddit page for Nxt? In the style of the following http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/ and http://www.reddit.com/r/peercoin.

If nobody else wants to do it, I'll have a go.

[mcjavar]

Great idea Alias!

I think this is a great idea Alias. If you would like to get it going, that would be great!

Great job Nifty. This is exactly what we need to get moving in the right direction on all fronts.

Thanks Nexthead! Glad to have you here to help out!

Another user set up the reddit page here - http://www.reddit.com/r/nxtcoin. The name "Nxt" was already taken as a subreddit name too. I have contacted the owner of /r/nxtcoin to see if I can be allowed to be a moderator and I will further develop the page.

I'm waiting on a reply from the creator of coinmarketcap.com, Gliss, to see if we already have everything we need to get set up or if we need to wait for Graviton to develop the dgex.com API further so that Gliss can grab the price of the latest trade to calculate the market capitalization (simply by multiplying it by 1,000,000,000). This might suffice - http://dgex.com/ticker.cgi.
