FirstRobot LEGO Mindstorms NXT - Review of the designer. Read the latest news from the world of Lego – EduCube

Project history

The first announcement about the creation of a crypto platform with PoS was on September 28, 2013. The next day a beta version appeared, and two days later all blocks were released. The price was 21 bitcoins. The funds were distributed among a small number of investors, but then given as rewards to the people who helped develop the system.

At this point, in the summer of 2020, NxT gave a strong jump, but after a day it dropped to the starting price. However, we can expect consistent growth of this cryptocurrency by thousands of Bitcoins in the near future.

Blockchain platform NXT

Blockchain is used to create a decentralized ecosystem with a wide range of functions, each of which requires the NXT cryptocurrency . However, instead of modifying the Bitcoin , as many altcoin projects have done, the developers of the NXT cryptographic platform wrote their own Java code from scratch. While NXT is based on a public blockchain, licenses for dedicated private blockchains running on NXT software are also available for purchase. The developers are positioning the NXT platform as Blockchain 2.0, providing many other possible uses beyond simply maintaining a public ledger of transactions.

Issue and stability of the NXT cryptocurrency

Developers released 1 billion NXT coins in 2013 and no new coins will ever be created or mined. To achieve consensus, NXT uses Proof-of-Stake instead of Proof-of-Work . NXT was one of the first cryptocurrencies to rely entirely on Proof-of-Stake.

Although the company continues to develop the NXT project, and NXT cryptocurrency holders even received free Ignis coins at the latest Ardor ICO, it is worth noting that the project may have problems with scalability. One is that even if you create your own tokens or currency on the NXT platform, the transaction fee will still be required in NXT cryptocurrency.

NXT cryptocurrency trading history

Below is a trading chart for the NXT cryptocurrency over the past four years.

Like all coins, the NXT cryptocurrency has experienced big ups and downs. The recent rise in price is most likely due to the release of Ardor and the IGNIS ICO, which raised over $15 million. Developers would like to use the NXT platform to produce even more ICOs in the future. In addition, NXT also provides a new product for creating blockchain. 10% of all tokens created on the new blockchain are automatically distributed to people who own NXT, further incentivizing the purchase of tokens.

Blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies. Fast start

In 2020, the network underwent a revamp and changed its name to NXT 2.0. Since then, the cryptocurrency has not received much attention compared to other projects using smart contracts and based on blockchain technology.

Not much is known about the creators of cryptocurrency. The project is being developed by Jelurida BV. According to Kristina Kalcheva, co-founder and lawyer at Jelurida, the platform's creators are focused on researching and implementing a variety of open source licensing models. The project's lead developer is an anonymous Star Trek fan named Jean-Luc Picard.

The second developer is Lior Yaffe, who is known on the Internet under the nickname Riker. The leaders of Nxt and Jelurida have attracted various specialists to their ranks for several years in a row.

Current active work on Nxt does not prevent Jelurida from continuing development of Nxt 2.0, known as Ardor. This project was created to find ways to achieve scalability. It is based on a similar blockchain technology as Nxt, together with the creation of “child chains”.

According to Nxt web design and marketing manager Travin Keith, Ardor uses a block sizing system. This approach is able to overcome the scalability problem by separating transactions and data that do not affect the security of the network.

Jean-Luc Picard and Lior Yaffe are listed as lead Ardor developers. Despite the development of Ardor, Jelurida remains committed to the development of Nxt and recently published a new business strategy for the platform for 2020 online.

How to mine Nxt?

The cryptocurrency is based on a proof-of-stake algorithm. This means that traditional mining , which is used to mine Bitcoin, is not involved in this case. This also leads to static emission. Initially created, 1 billion Nxt is the maximum number of coins. The creation of new ones is not expected.

The platform was initially developed with the aim of providing financial services and providing an ecosystem for creating additional applications to the main development direction. The project has made significant progress in this direction with a large number of services and applications developed and launched on top of the Nxt blockchain since its inception in 2013.

As mentioned above, the cryptocurrency was not created as a clone of Bitcoin code, but was written from scratch in Java. This gives it several unique technological features that other blockchains do not have. Nxt was the first cryptocurrency to operate solely on a PoS algorithm and initially had a block creation speed of approximately one minute.

WWE NXT Review 07/29/2020

Text Color: Background Color: Welcome to the review of the latest episode of NXT! Today, Karrion Kross will continue to make his way to a match for the NXT Main Championship, several more people will get a chance to qualify for the five-way for the North American Championship, and tag team champions Imperium will make their return to the brand. First things first.

The episode begins with a recap of the main event from a week ago and the theme song from NXT Champion Io Shirai. The Japanese woman appears on the ramp, and is immediately attacked by Dakota Kai again. The girls start a fight, with Teagan Knox and Candice LeRae joining in. This all leads to a tag team match.

Io Shirai and Teagan Knox ave. Dakota Kai and Candice LeRae

Candice and Tegan are in the ring first. LeRae puts her opponent in the ring and scores her at first, controlling the position, but a little later Nox fights back and both girls pass the tag. Io and Dakota begin their battle, in which the latter initially could not oppose anything to her opponent’s technique. The Japanese woman was able to perform a Snapmare and Shotgun Dropkick, but was caught by an Exploder Suplex. Afterwards, Kai and LeRae begin to exchange tags, keeping the women's champion away from Nox, but Dakota was not ready for the sudden Flapjack from Io. Shirai then secured the Lotus Lock, which in turn forced Candice to run into the ring. Tegan Nox saw everything perfectly and threw the extra one over the ropes. LeRae pulled the women's champion into the ringside and sent her into the steel steps. Now in the ring were Candice and Tegan, who carried out a mutual headbutt, and their partners had to enter the ring. Io Shirai has a great segment, not only hitting Dakota with some dropkicks, a double rope stomp, a 619 and a meteor, but also fending off Candice. Kai eventually breaks free and quickly tags LeRae, who still hasn't fully recovered and quickly loses after a Shiniest Wizard from Nox and a moonsault from Shirai.

Winners

: Io Shirai and Tegan Nox

We are shown the main points related to the conflict between Adam Cole and Pat McAfee, which we have already announced on the site. Next, Tom Phillips recalls the verbal spat between Johnny Gargano and Roderick Strong on Twitter, which led to their next match.

Roderick Strong v. Johnny Gargano

At the very beginning, the guys exchanged submissions. Next, Strong blocked Gargano's signature harpoon, but the latter threw his opponent to the ring side, where he hit his shoulder off the floor. After the commercial, Johnny continues to work on Roderick's shoulder, to which he responds with a backbreaker, several chops and a suplex. Afterwards, Gargano manages to get to the second rope, from where he, having fought off his opponent, performed a Tornado Flatliner. This is not enough to win. Gargano reverses the Angle Slam into a signature submission, which Strong breaks out of with a rollup. The guys begin to exchange kicks and reverses, which is why they soon find themselves on the ring side. With the help of a hurricanrana into the barricade and several shoulder strikes against the plastic glass, Gargano manages to bring Strong to the state necessary for the final One Final Beat DDT.

Winner

: Johnny Gargano

McKenzie Mitchell talks to Dakota Kai backstage about her behavior in the opening match. Kai states that she doesn't care about Candice LeRae. Now she is not a team player, but the first contender for the title. Dakota was about to leave, but Rhea Ripley stopped her. The latter clearly doesn’t care about Kai’s words, because Ripley herself is going to go after Shirai’s title. Dakota says that they should ask William Regal's opinion on this matter.

Next, the same Mitchell interviews Timothy Thatcher, a participant in today's three-way qualifying match. The latter, as usual, is determined to teach his opponents his style. At this moment, Dexter Lumis appears behind Thatcher, whom Timothy, however, does not notice.

Roderick Strong shares his defeat with Bobby Fish and Adam Cole backstage. Suddenly, Kyle O'Reilly appears nearby, energizing his Undisputed Era friends with a motivational speech. Next up is the match between Mercedes Martinez and Shotzi Blackheart.

Shotzi Blackheart Ave. Mercedes Martinez

The situation immediately falls into Mercedes' hands. She beats up her opponent outside the ring for the amusement of the Robert Stone brand. A little later, the action returns to the ring, where Shotzi Blackheart manages to make a successful counterattack and roll up Martinez for a one count. Shotzi performs a Sling Blade Bulldog, Switchblade Kick and Cannonball, which is not enough to win, and then Mercedes catches her opponent with a Spinebuster. Martinez throws several punches and does not allow her opponent to counterattack again. Release German Superplex and modified Air Raid Crash by Mercedes were enough for a successful hold.

Winner

: Mercedes Martinez

We are shown a short promo video dedicated to NXT UK wrestler Ridge Holland, who, as it turns out, will make his NXT debut next week.

NXT Champion Keith Lee appears in the ring. Keith, with all seriousness in his voice, addresses Karrion Kross, who decided to do some unnecessary “shit” with Dominic Dijakovic in order to attract the attention of the champion. Lee argues that none of this means anything unless Carrion gets in the ring for a face-to-face meeting, thereby calling out the bully. However, instead of Cross, none other than Camern Grimes rushes to the ring, taunting the champion along the way. Keith Lee is not going to tolerate this. He dragged Grimes into the ring and performed a powerful lariat on him, after which the lights in the arena went out. Scarlett Bordeaux appears at the titantron and gestures to the screen. Cross's face appears on the titantron and begins to broadcast. Carrion remembers how Lee did nothing while his comrade suffered. The future challenger gives the champion a choice: give him a match for the NXT Championship or choose the worst option, leaving everyone around him to suffer. Lee tells Cross to pick a time and place where he can kick his ass, which suits Scarlett just fine.

Fabian Aichner and Marcel Bartel pr. Ever Rise

Marcel and Matt Martel begin to measure their strength, during which Aichner managed to take the tag from his friend for a good armdrag. Having somehow fought back, Martel passed the tag to Parker, who, with the help of his comrade, was able to retain the initiative in his hands for a few more seconds, but still, through joint efforts, the champions returned everything to its place. Parker landed a double Draping Dropkick, a spinebuster/PK combo, and was finished off with a signature European Bomb.

Winners

: Fabian Aichner and Marcel Barthel

After the match, the team champions planned to read a promo, but Undisputed Era bursts into the ring and, due to their numerical advantage, wins the fight. Cole yells that they run the place.

NXT brings us a mini-documentary about the first participant in the five-way match for the North American Championship, Bronson Reed. The performer talks about his hometown's colorful streets, his wife who initially paid for his wrestling training, and how he, being an underdog, was able to defeat Roderick Strong and Johnny Gargano last week.

Finn Balor is warming up before the main event, and Lumis appears behind him, like Thatcher. Next, Williamy Regal tunes in from his home to inform Lee and Cross that the opportunity to fight in the championship match still has to be earned.

Isaiah Scott Ave. Jake Atlas

During the release, Atlas reports that he is now cleared to compete again after injury and intends to go after the light heavyweight championship. After hitting the gong, the guys try to throw each other into the ring, and Jake succeeds. After a successful dropkick and armdrag from Atlas, we see a reverse and roll-up from Scott. Before the commercial, Isaiah also managed to successfully perform Rolling Sobat. After the break, the initiative began to flit between the performers. Scott did Paydirt with a hold, and Atlas did something like Murphy's Law also with a hold, but both were unsuccessful. After blocking Rainbow DDT from Jake, Isay performed a House Call Kick and JML Driver, which was enough for the victory

Winner

: Isaiah Scott

Next week, the NXT Women's Championship title match between Dakota Kai and Rhea Ripley, a three-way qualifying match between Damian Priest, Oney Lorcan and Ridge Holland, and a tag team title match between Imperium and Undisputed Era are announced. Today, all that remains for us is the main event.

Finn Balor vs. Dexter Lumis vs. Timothy Thatcher

Finn and Timothy look at Dexter and decide to attack each other. Lumis continues to unwaveringly look at one point. Balor pulls Thatcher to ringside, where Lumis later flies in with a Tope Con Hilo. And even though the two moved apart, Lumis landed on his feet. He began to score both and even performed a suplex on Balor, but was unable to maintain the advantage long enough and soon Timothy Thatcher began to control the situation, uppercutting his opponents and avoiding his opponents' techniques. Thatcher left Lumis on the ring side, and he began to use his inexhaustible painful locks on Balor, while not letting Lumis back into the ring. Fortunately or unfortunately, this tactic did not bring Thatcher victory. Soon Dexter returned to the ring and a full-fledged three-way battle began. Initially, Balor carried out his signature series, but when it was time for a dropkick on Lumis, Thatcher knocked Finn down and locked him in a Heel Hook. Lumis broke the submission and won a 1 on 1 battle with Thatcher, but Dexter's submission was interrupted by Balor with his Coup De Grace. Timothy decided to lock the Irishman in the Heel Hook again and did not even notice how Lumis appeared from behind in order to again lock his Kata Gatame. Thus, Timothy Thatcher lost consciousness right during his submission.

Winner

: Dexter Lumis

NXT Score: 7/10

(author)

I wasn't blown away by the quality of the matches, it was just acceptable. There was definitely a lack of chemistry in the main event (although the action with booking itself was quite satisfactory), but overall this weekly looked better than the previous ones. We finally saw the race for the Women's Championship continue, as well as the Team Champions. In general, in the team division, the situation of which has been depressing recently, at least some shift has occurred, and this cannot but rejoice. I really want to believe that Era was not brought in for a one-week confrontation with the guys from Imperium, and in the future this will lead to something really exciting. For example, to the WarGames match between factions for the right to remain on the brand, since Cole began to throw out such phrases... I can’t say that something radically new was introduced into the plot for the main title, but I’m pleased with the influence of the ending of the last episode on Keith Lee and Regal’s appeal, which should lead to either a challenger match or something more interesting.

It was a workable episode with no obvious gaps, which, despite the lack of particularly bright moments, “fixed” some of the previously stopped functioning “gears” of the brand and became a place for build-ups for several big matches next week and at Takeover.

This week the writers gave the same ratings to the episodes of NXT and Dynamite, which means the score remains the same: NXT 18-20 AEW

NXT cryptocurrency forecast

NXT is an innovative and ambitious project that strives to explore and harness the potential of the blockchain as fully as possible. The pseudonym of NXT chief developer Jean-Luc Picard is also quite interesting. The project team, like the Captain of the Enterprise in the cult TV series Star Trek, is trying to “boldly go where no one has gone before!”

Based on a number of analyst opinions, the forecast for the NXT cryptocurrency for 2020 is quite positive. Anyway, with the exciting development of NXT 2.0/Ardor, the new Ignos ICO, upcoming ICOs, and existing decentralized applications, NXT is definitely a coin to watch in 2018.

What is NXT?

NXT Block

By default, NXT test programs and many sample programs assume that sensors are connected to the following ports:

• Port 1: Touch Sensor
• Port 2: Audio Sensor - Microphone
• Port 3: Light Sensor
• Port 4: Ultrasonic sensor

Connecting motors and lamps

Motors or lamps can be connected to output ports A, B, or C. By default, the NXT test programs and some sample programs assume that the motors are connected as follows:

• Port A: Motor or lamp for additional function.
• Port B: Motor drives the (often) left wheel of a dual-motor chassis.
• Port C: The motor that drives the (often) right wheel of a dual-motor chassis.

NXT Specifications

• 32-bit ARM7 microprocessor
• 256 Kbytes FLASH memory, 64 Kbytes RAM
• 8-bit microprocessor
• 4 Kbytes FLASH memory, 512 Byte RAM
• Wireless Bluetooth connection, Bluetooth class II V2.0 compliant
• USB 2.0 port
• 4 six-wire digital input ports
• 3 six-wire digital output ports
• Graphic display, 60 x 100 pixels
• Loudspeaker with 8 KHz bandwidth
• Power source: lithium battery or six AA batteries
• Mains power: 230 V ~ 50Hz

Battery

The battery is attached to the bottom of the NXT. To install it, first remove the battery compartment cover by pressing the latch with your finger. A compartment for 6 AA batteries will open. Instead of the compartment cover, you can install a lithium-ion polymer battery, which is included with the 9797 construction set. Insert the side protrusion on the battery case into the special groove in the battery compartment and lightly press until it clicks into place.

To charge the battery, insert the charger cable into the round connector in the battery case through the hole in the NXT case (this connector is located under the input ports). Plug the transformer of the charger into a 220 V network. The battery can be charged separately from the NXT.

• The green indicator lights up when the charger is connected to the battery.
• The red indicator lights up during charging and goes out when it is finished.
• It takes about 4 hours to fully charge the battery.
• The NXT can be used while the battery is charging, which will increase the charging time.
• The battery allows up to 500 charging cycles.

When using the battery for the first time with the NXT, connect the charger for 20 minutes before use. Proceed in the same way if the battery is completely discharged. Before using the battery, it must be charged.

Other types of batteries

Low battery

Precautionary measures

• Never mix different types of batteries in the NXT.
• Remove batteries before long-term storage.
• Remove completely discharged batteries from the NXT immediately.
• Charge the battery under adult supervision.
• Never attempt to charge regular batteries (not rechargeable batteries).
