What do you think davethetrousers, if a project with the same management degree as in NXT's case, but with a different technology and prospects will be announced tomorrow, what will be your reaction to it?
It'd have to be really, really, REALLY innovative above and beyond what NXT is doing, to be relevant and of interest at this point. You'd have to aim at something at the scale of Ethereum or higher, and people have their doubts whether they will be able to deliver even halfway on their claims.
I'm not saying that everything that can be done has been done already, just that there are really ambitious projects around and the "white spots on the map" become less and less all the time.
