let me re-introduce myself

i've been absent, but not absent from the going ons of the crypto sphere. I want to reintroduce myself and give clear understand as to my involvement eh. I am here temporarily as need be on behalf of an anonymous donor to see to the organization of the first lucrative decentralized autonomous organization: NxtPoker. My job is temporary as an executor to facilitate the organization of Nxtpoker board, workers, devs and to see that everyone involved in working together to improve experience of future users and protect interest of NxtPoker token holders, bringing value to the Nxt platform in the long term. I hope to be replaced by a more competent savvy business and technically oriented leader who can continue to work with ola, the devs, board and improve on the vision which ola has provided thus far. I initially halted my involvement pending clarification on how to proceed. Learning from hypothetical talks with counsels, I feel confident that I could carry out my intended purpose. Now on to business


My position

as my temp position with NxtPoker my duty will be to
Have acèss to one of the keys of the multi-signature accounts to pay:
   Devs
   Marketing fees and agency fees
   Board and token holder initiatives decided by token holders
Send token to rightful owners, escrows and admins to be distributed to rightful owners
Acting board member and executor, Temporary, to be replaced by a long term executor


P.s most of the problem-solution and market analysis were worked on by myself with a great deal of help from ola, who had been researching and developing for a couple of months now. Any additional insights are welcome



About Nxt

In my personal opinion, to say Nxt is extremely undervalued at the moment is an understatement. There are several reasons why. You could speculate that there are unseen forces systematically stealing critical moments by sabotaging key stages of Nxt development thereby stunting growth. But in more concrete reasons, the greater crypto community have been at bay in their involvement with Nxt due to the propagation of inconsequential reasons i.e POS / "FAIR" arguments. We all know that that nothing in crypto or money can be fair as expounded on by Bcnext. Rather a level playing field with equal opportunity for the diligent and also having a little risk propensity should suffice for economic opportunity and freedom. But instead what do we have?  A large portion of the crypto industry saturated with intertwined communities sharing the same news and consensus (fear ?) about Nxt. Few think Nxt will grow past its current achievement, more call it a scam, some choose to ignore this powerful tech. But there is a twist, All the unfavorable opinions of the current market participants, will matter less as the proposed nxt technology advancement come into fruition. Even though the crypto market is saturated with intertwined community consensus, Nxt will most definitely not be limited to this market. In fact the current crypto market serves as a sandbox for current Nxt technology advancements.

The next stage of growth will be in the millions of users exceeding the growth curve of bitcoin, once consumer facing business have been proven to be able to thrive using the Nxt blockchain features. Nxt will grow because it has created technology enabling virtual yet transparent businesses and applications to operate using its blockchain. See bitcoin was created, without an explicit support for an economy, instead efforts have to be made to get people to accept and use bitcoin. With nxt it is different, it was developed from the ground up with integral support for virtual business operations which provide solutions to the demands of consumers naturally. This strategy will ensure that the increase in volume, demand and price will force all onlookers to include Nxt as part of their solutions. Applications and businesses on the Nxt chain is what will bring users to the Nxt platform eventually. When you provide use cases as solutions to pain points for customers, acquiring and using Nxt is a secondary action of no consequence.( assuming the Nxt acquisition process is smoothed out of course). That is why Nxt will succeed, It might surpass bitcoin in 8 month, if projects like Nxtpoker, the Supernet, Freemarket, Nxtty, Nxt MMO and other consumer facing projects gain adoption. The most prominent of these of course NxtPoker facing 100 million plus market. These poker players care not about distribution, even better they are already used to the idea of digital currency from the use of play money and experiences with gaming platforms like Zynga. The best part? These customers do not need to be coerced, spammed or pushed to participate: NxtPoker is the kind of solution they had been waiting for. The allure for theses customers is the prize pool winnings, provably fair environment and bragging rights that can be accomplished through sheer skill. Goals which seem to become more unachievable in prior centrally controlled platforms. So in short, Hold on to ya hats Nxt will thrive and NxtPoker will play a major part in it.

-In my humble opinion of course



Thoughts on NxtPoker - The Opportunity

Online poker is a part of the online gaming industry which has grown at a steady rate over the years and is projected to grow to $41 billion in 2015. Of that substantial projected growth, the online poker industry will expand from its current total + $5billion per year industry and continue to grow daily. The biggest player in the sector: pokerstars which recently sold to Amaya gaming  for $4.9 billion controls more than 45% of the player market with revenues potentially over $2 billion per year in 2014. But there is a problem; poker players are forced to deal with adverse conditions possibly from the game hosts and other players who collude to defraud unsuspecting hopefuls. All this simply because no better alternatives exist. There is a need and the time is ripe for better alternative that could provide skilled and non-skilled players alike with a level playing field, provably so and also one that is highly addictive due to a unique user experience.


That "better alternative" mentioned above from what I have seen so far and if all the cards are played correctly, could be NxtPoker. With our unique value proposition, community backing, funding and organization we could set the stage to draw significant marketshare from all entrenched incumbents to become the new multibillion leader in the very competitive poker market. The greatest part of all this is that most online poker players are already used to the idea of virtual currencies or digital money i.e in the case of zynga or when using "play money". This could put NxtPoker and the Nxt platform in a new position, mainly because poker players really do not need to understand the importance or philosophy behind crypto currency. They also will not care about the alleged "distribution" or "nothing at stake" problem. The draw for them is that they can win money in a provably fair way, without any concerns of being swindled by unscrupulous colluding game hosts and or other entities. The potential is not just high quality or high demanding use, but disruptive industry game changer, Much like what Facebook did to the myspace era or what dropbox did to file storage in its peak era. Nxtpoker will create new value in the poker industry and probably establish a larger market than what previously was. Poker players want NxtPoker because it is the perfect product market fit that resonates with their issues and gripes with major poker sites at the moment. I will describe why Nxtpoker dominance is very possible in this very competitive market in the "competitive analysis"  section in the business plan part of this board.
