[[Image:Limitlesspotential.jpg|thumb|"The Limitless Potential" cover]]'''''The Limitless Potential''''' is an open source remix compilation of [[Nine Inch Nails]] songs from ''[[Year Zero]]'', but also includes a few remixes of [[Only (song)|Only]]. It was released as a Torrent on September 5, 2007.
It was hosted on [[Painful Convictions]]. It is composed of the fan remix contest winners. First place was Dirty Scarab with for "[[My Violent Heart]] (Prevention; Rejection)." Second was awarded to Pushing Reality for "[[Vessel]] (Losing Control Remix)."
The album was compiled through the efforts of a months long deliberation to sort through some 200 fan submitted NIN remixes, the end result being a 21 track album.
Over two hundred tracks were submitted to [[Painful Convictions]] for the juried competition, and were voted on by six judges, including personnel from Painful Convictions and [[The NIN Hotline]]. Every track that received a majority of "YES" votes over "NO" votes was included in the competition. Luckily (for the judges) there was only one voting period -- Dirty Scarab's mix was the only one to receive six "YES" votes.
The album artwork and photography was designed/shot by Leviathant from photographs taken near 30th Street Station in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Martin Place in Sydney, Australia. Obviously, the style heavily emulates the look of [[Year Zero]] era promotional CD single artwork, particularly Survivalism.
