My problem is that my "vacation" is ending and I have to go back to work. As it is I have neglected a few things and they have created a bit of a mess.

I have identified easy to implement solutions to many problems, but none of them are even acknowledged. Maybe people think I am some marketing dweeb, but I have written a C compiler from scratch, realtime forex trading systems, firmware for devices, etc. I am primarily a programmer, but I can also relate to the non-technical user.

Since NXT has tons of programmers, many probably even better than me, there wasn't much point in my contributing that way, so I found the BIG GIANT GAPING HOLE in NXT that I could fix.

aldrin has been the only founder who sees value in what I do and was willing to back it up.

I was ready to sacrifice my life savings and all other business opportunities to concentrate on NXT. I don't lightly do that since my services are in pretty good demand. I just can't afford to continue investing the time that I have without getting some sort of upside. I have of course purchased the NXT I can afford, but even if I don't do anything I would have that NXT. I am talking about 100% of my time.

 It seems that isn't worth setting aside the NXT for me to purchase at a later date. That is what I asked for. Not an outright grant of NXT. Founders need to sell NXT, I wanted to purchase at around double current market price. I just needed time to come up with the funds. Basically structured as incentive stock options, which are standard fare for compensation packages for someone doing the work that I was doing.

I did my two week audition, I guess I failed.

James

I just want to say it obvious James is a high quality person, and somebody NXT really needs at this moment in its development. The NXT community has been blessed with many talented people, as we  can all readily see from the events of the last few days and weeks, but James has a focus on areas that can take NXT into the arena of serious professional investors. That is where NXT belongs.

I have appreciated his support for my idea of the community forging fund as a long-term revenue raising mechanism for NXT, and I hope we will see his input in the future.
