NXT Foundation has joined the Linux Foundation and Hyperledger

The NXT Foundation this month has secured an important relationship with the Linux Foundation and Hyperledger. On the NXT forum I asked Evildave what this means for NXT.

Hyperledger is a Collaborative Project with the Linux Foundation. Essentially it is blockchain technology that is built for recording transactions anonymously, leaving transaction details hidden from the public. The focus is to create an industry standard blockchain.

NXT Joins Slack

NXT has finally reached the 21st century! NXT has finally made it's own slack which is seperate from superNET. After the annoucement of NXT 2.0 it

seemed like the best time to create a new slack channel. Slack is a chat program similar to mIRC in which crypto users can chat about anything.

"It means a lot of things, potentially. Depends what we do with it....

For example, the Nxt Foundation now has something like 0.2% of the voting rights for the Linux Foundation, we have access to (and possibly even input to) the HyperLedger project and other LF projects. Joining the LF will also help with generally raising the profile of Nxt within the Linux community, and puts us in the same space as a LOT of corporate players. Check out the LF, and see what the possibilities are:

And I haven't even mentioned that by supporting the LF, we are directly supporting the Open Source movement."
