I saw a guy here with the same name 2 years ago... So not sure if DE is really 2K4S.
Edit: It's probably him.

You're right. It's 2Kool4Skewl.
@DE: you notice the words 'for a while' in my post ?
'For a while'......my advice was to wait and do some research, not to only invest in Bitcoin.
Bitcoin is still the gateway into crypto, and a fairly reliable short term investment. I'm giving unbiased advice there, to take some time to do research before he jumps into any alt-coin, even to NXT. People need to start somewhere, and the more people using any kind of crypto, the better. Just means more NXT users in the long term..........
So, you jumped on me for one tiny point, and blew it up into something completely distorted, for no frigging reason.
And: do not invest in anything (except Bitcoin) for a while....do lots of research first.
Don't want to scare you off, but crypto is still the Wild West, and there are some bad guys around. You have to protect yourself. No-one else will.

That is a pathetic excuse. What you're saying is the equivalent of a car salesman for Mercedes telling a prospective customer to go buy and drive a Ford for a while because Fords are great learner vehicles. Then when the customer leaves to buy a Ford, he turns to his boss and says, "Don't worry, the more people driving cars, the better. This just means more Mercedes drivers in the long term.......
"What don't you get about the fact that YOU ARE BEING PAID TO MARKET NXT!? The worst part about this whole ordeal is that you actually believe what you said was the right thing to say. I shudder to think what you have been telling people at these conferences you have attended. You have absolutely ZERO business / marketing skills and the fact that you are one of the two chief "marketers" is absolutely, completely insane.
For the rest:
Yeah, we gave the job for the www.nxt.org site to Farla for several reasons, including, but not limited to :
He's a pro, and should give good results.
He'll take payment in NXT for 80%.....
No-one else in the community stepped up to do it, and we need a better site pronto.

I think in the interest of transparency you should tell everyone just exactly how much Farl4bit is being paid for this. Let's be honest here, you didn't even take bids. You could have started a thread on Bitcointalk and attempted to solicit bids. I'm sure there are a lot of people on here who would be willing to do website redesign for a fraction of what you're paying Farla Webmedia. Imo, spending any money on this is a waste of funds. A slightly better website isn't going to draw in any noticeable increase in users.
Lastly, on Lee: we've worked with him for a long time, as you say. He's not a scammer, imho.
I've searched long and hard far any dirt on him, and all I could find is one person (possibly trolling him) from a long time ago. If you have evidence of Lee's scamminess, let's see it. All I see from Lee is lots of useful business connections, all of whom regard Lee as a mostly trustworthy guy. He did balls up TXTCoinsNow, though.

As for the allegations against Lee: I researched his Scottish arse when he first showed up in Nxt, and couldn't find any proper naughtiness.
Someone did post a list of Lee's supposed evil-doing, but didn't have any solid evidence, apart from one very old (i think 2009) post on a telecoms forum claiming that Lee was a dodgy git, again with no proper evidence. If DE can come up with some real evidence, or even semi-real, I'm happy to listen.
The ironic bit here, btw, is that Lee was pretty much the only guy who got ripped off by whoever used the (hacked?) John M. forum account to scam BTC, year and a half ago.

What exactly was the TXT Coins Now "fiasco" if it wasn't a scam? Seriously, I'd like to know. People lost a lot of money over it. You know as well as I do that the post that was on NXT Forum about Lee contained links and quotes from companies complaining about his "business" practices. I remember he scammed one company for ~$5800. I'm sure anyone willing to do a google search for "Lee Gibson Grant" will find evidence of his prior behavior. Do you really think just because Lee supposedly got scammed by John M. of Cointropolis that it clears him of any suspected wrong-doing? There is no honor among thieves. I also wouldn't be surprised if John and Lee were working together to mislead everyone.
I think you're just trying to have a go at the Nxt community in general, as a result of your ban from www.nxtforum.org.
Don't get why you chose me in particular, but, hey, feel free.

I'm simply calling it like I see it. I do think the mods over on NXT Forum are either idiots or weenies or both. I got on you because you're suppose to be one of the two main marketers for NXT, but you're on here telling people to use the competition. Yet, you don't see this as an issue. Amazing.
