The NXT 2.0 Proposal:

NXT 2.0 in its simplest form is the splitting of the NXT token and the forging power. Using a hard fork, those holding NXT tokens will receive an additional token named "fNXT" at a 1:1 rate. Essentially "fNXT" represents a token that only forges blocks. In addition, childchains are created. Childchains are blockchains that are on the NXT network. The NXT network will not only consist of NXT and fNXT, but also childchains. Assets and the Monetary System tokens all turn into childchains. The NXT token also turns into a childchain. Entrepreneurs who wish to create blockchains on the NXT network can do so by setting their own rules, as well as using all the features that are already available such as voting and shuffling. fNXT will receive revenue from all childchains.

The Good Points:

Pruning: As it currently stands, the NXT blockchain is not ready for the wide world of finance. Everyday the NXT blockchain containing transactions increases in size. As it currently stands, the blockchain is growing at a rate of 1 GB per year even with its limited usage. This is a problem akin to that which has divided the BTC community.
Real Life Businesses: One of the biggest stepping stones for real life businesses wanting to use NXT as their platform are the set fees involved in making transactions and the little control they have over the future of the NXT blockchain. If NXT 2.0 is implemented, businesses could issue a childchain and set their own values and rules. Childchains have the ability to use any NXT features that are already implemented on the NXT blockchain.
fNXT revenue: The creation of childchains that will suit the needs of real life businesses is an exciting prospect. Every childchain will need to execute its own Proof-of-Stake (PoS) mining process using its own tokens. The asset issuer of the childchain in return will need to pay fNXT holders to use the NXT blockchain. This will lead to speculation on fNXT as a potential investment. As childchains are created, the greater the revenue for fNXT holders.
It's Time to Think Outside the Box: Ethereum has revolutionized the way we should think about cryptocurrencies. Although we, as lovers of NXT, are critical of the "real" progress being made by Ethereum, the marketing and approach is unique which is probably the forces behind its initial success. NXT provides a unique approach for the future; one that is business ready.
