His disappearance and making it look like a scam was part of the agreement too?
Now, reading that he was going to follow Satoshi's footsteps, I think he was planning to disappear.
Anyway, "look like a scam" =/= "is scam".
I agree. I just say that due to this behaviour I missed my chance to become a stakeholder. And it's sad, cause I really like NXT.
EDIT: Hope he gives us another chance
How about if you, and all big shareholders perform another round of re-sharing NXT to all of us in exchange for BTC?
More crowd - more spread - more attribute - more success
That's a great idea. This has been said before, but I think the initial, single offering has hurt NXT significantly. The community is good, but it will be interesting to see how the aftermath of the recent drama plays out.
I agree that the early stakeholders should be rewarded for the risk they took, but I think, at this point, their reward is disproportionate to their risk. I think a better solution would have been to have funding rounds instead of a single buy-in. A funding rounds approach would be similar to how startups get money from VCs (e.g. Series A, Series B, etc.). Each subsequent round could raise more money with a lower payout, but really help to get people involved.
