The process seems to be the same on all the NXT-derived cryptocurrencies (and NXT itself, of course).

Yes, sure. So what you are learning now with HZ, you can also apply to Nxt. And vice versa, at least for the core system.

I would like to know which assets in the NXT and NXT-derived currencies already and presently pay dividends. Any experiences and recommendations?

That is a VERY good question, and I would love to integrate that into my assetparser.py
when I find the time (sponsoring/monetization ideas would accelerate it).

If dividend payments can be spotted on the blockchain API, it should be possible to somehow implement it.

My first hope that dividends are a specific type/subtype message,
was just disappointed - for HZ i.e. Nxt 1.2.9 = nope (link to localwallet),
but YIEHAH:
In Nxt 1.4.16, there is a type/subtype (type: 2 = "Colored coins" , subtypes: 6 = "Dividend payment" - link to Nxt-localwallet)

So this is how I understand it:

old dividends won't be able to be found
(because subtypes: 6 was introduced only recently)
newer dividends which still use (type: 0 = "Ordinary payment")- payments ... won't be able to be found
newer dividends which use (type: 2, subtype: 6) should actually be identifiable.

Very good idea / inspiration. Thanks Hubus!
