"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.
If you don't like it why did you invest? Did you not spend 5 minutes reading before throwing money into it?
And comparing it to Bitcoin's beta is so retarded. Have you not noticed that crypto currencies have gathered a tiny bit more attention from the world since then? It's no coincidence that NXT's rival emunie is following similar development principles.
