Hard fork ？ nxt dead ?
No, it isn't dead that spit is about splitting mining (main chain) from the ecosystem or ecosystems (child chain/chains) but it's more like brainstorming (proposal) about the future of NXT at this moment than anything what looks like a real plan.
its just all talk at the moment. nothing solid.
its not all talk or brainstorming. jean-luc already said its going to happen. the only thing for the community to decide is to follow ot not to follow. its no wonder everything else is/was pumping, but nxt.
So if I buy NXT, I will receive twice the number of coins after the split?
What is the exact time of the coin split?
~ 1 year for the coin to split. however the snapshot to determine who receives what will be taken at another time. there is currently a vote:
