So i hand over tons of BTC for a promise that i will get an unproven altcoin, that will probly be worth nothing?
Seems you didn't get the point. Let me explain again...
1] Nxt is 100% proof-of-stake currency. Why? Because this lets not to waste tons of electricity and protects against 51% attacks.
2] Proof-of-stake means that users must own some coins.
3] How to generate coins? Premine 100% and giveaway like Ripple? No way.
4] Let's transfer tiny amounts of bitcoins to my address. More you send, more you get. Looks good to me.
5] Why send coins to my own address, not some unspendable address? I need a way to send the coins back, just in case. Or fund development of services to promote Nxt, if the total amount happens to be decent.
I hope this explanation will help.
