New crypto-currency - NXT.
Website Twitter Facebook Press Release"One of the reasons Nxt is groundbreaking is because it gives the economy back to the people and re-establishes them as their own sovereigns over their destiny. An economy is an expression of a political ideology. Do not mistake us as just another cryptocurrency. We are a movement."-----------------------------------------
Nxt :: descendant of BitcoinNxt uses brand new software. It is not a fork of Bitcoin's source code.
Nxt is the first 100% Proof-of-Stake (PoS) currency. Coins are earned solely by charging transaction fees. Unlike other currencies with PoS mining, Nxt's PoS mining does not cause monetary inflation. The total amount of Nxt in circulation is 1 billion. Nxt is resistant to +90% attacks via its transparent mining algorithm.
Nxt improves different features of Bitcoin, removes some disadvantages (e.g. bloated blockchain) and resolves a big environmental issue. Time between blocks is one minute. This increases the rate of orphaned blocks, but makes it more convenient for the users.
Nxt does not use so-called scripts aka predicates. This simplifies and accelerates transaction processing. Advanced features like multisig will be created on top of the core as 3rd party services.
Nxt is routable through Tor and I2P anonymous networks.
Nxt supports the following features:
-
Decentralized Alias System / DNS - Complete Register names and assign them to URIs. URIs can be anything from web addresses to Nxt account numbers. These aliases will be tradeable in the near future.
-
Basic DDoS Protection - Complete-
Decentralized Asset Exchange / Colored Coins - Done, but not yet implemented.
This allows gateways to issue assets on the Nxt network. These assets can include cryptocurrencies (BTC, LTC, etc), fiat currencies (USD, EUR, RMB, etc), stocks and other assets.

Please Run a Nxt NodeIf you can run a Nxt node, it will help us stabilize and secure the network. If you have invested in Nxt, it is beneficial to you to run a VPS to help to secure the Nxt network. Hallmarking your node helps the network, but is not necessary.

After the decentralized asset exchange feature is released, you will be able to buy and sell Nxt for any currency issued on the Nxt network.
Source code was released on Jan 3rd, 2014. The fifth anniversary of bitcoin's genesis block.
Nxt ClientsNxt clients are GUI programs that interface with the NRS server. Eventually, the web client will be removed from the NRS, and you will have to use a separate client.
Because Nxt can be run on any hardware that supports Java, you can run your own Nxt server on your Raspberry Pi and help us secure the Nxt network!
Security Tips- Do NOT use the passphrase for your Nxt account on a VPS client. Only use your Nxt passphrase on a local Nxt client. Even if you connect to your VPS securely via SSH, you are still not safe because all VPSs have backdoors.
- 7874 (tcp) is used for P2P communication, the http web client and API commands. This is the only port that needs to be open to run Nxt.
- 7875 (tcp) is used for the https web client.
