I am thinking of setting an early adopter bonus, but I will do it after all main features are implemented and people can see it's not a vaporware. The funds will be used to develop services accepting Nxt.
Btw, I did use a vanity address (1BCN1ugdKdWd9pQ8Am9hMhtHZfmbXzxE8a).
Alright, you can plan your release anyway you want.
The address you specified isn't a good one - its FirstBits are actually
1BCN1u. Anything shorter than that will not lead to the correct address, and 1BCN1u isn't really a catchy name (e.g. compared to 1Exodus).
For the record, I think using blockchain.info messages is a bad way to proceed with this.
You should use only fully decentralized properties of bitcoin itself.
You can create an easy javascript client-side way for people to donate to this address.
BTW, why not just use the exact Mastercoin kickstarter mechanism, where the way to invest in the kickstarter was just to send money to 1Exodus? Is there a problem with that kickstarter implementation that you're trying to solve by using blockchain.info messages?
I second this, unless you have very specific purposes for those hashed messages, it is a useless complication that may slow down the people in. Also you better put an early adopter bonus announcement as soon as possible. That may give a momentum to the fundraising.
And a whitepaper before end of October is the must need and appreciated, I am curious to know which POS model will you use.
