"I did not have the patience to participate (or at least follow) the NXT development efforts for 24 hours."
Yeah - very funny - I have already invested BTC into this and I think my concern is pretty valid.
You think it is fine that just 1 guy controls NXT?
It was promoted as a "decentralized" crypto-currency - even Bitcoin was *exactly* that in its very first beta version.
It's not even officially released & open sourced yet and you expect it to be fully functional without issues? With people ready to throw whole botnets at it.
Also you are wrong: I just downloaded whole blockchain without any additional files.
You are turning into another troll that if not trolling to buy cheaper will cry like a girl again in a month or so. Sorry for my rudeness.
BTW Bitcoin had huge issues and flaws on start. NXT is in the wild for a month. Bitcoin 5 years
