There was no "insider team". The release was publicly announced on this forum and everyone had plenty of opportunity to buy in before the genesis (and I wish I did!). ... The first code release was on Jan 3rd, and before that everyone had the opportunity to buy and sell Nxt on dgex.com. Now, after the code release, everyone still has that same opportunity. The reasons for a delayed/staggered code release have been much discussed, and I believe it is a necessary requirement for a truly unique offering in today's competitive market.

This is not completely true. I was not allowed to buy in when the pre-sale was suddenly closed without prior notice while I was seeking clarification of the deadline. People were generally under the impression it was open until January 3rd. I believe the actual reason for the sudden close of the pre-sale without advance warning was to prevent further dilution of existing investment, but no one wants to admit to this.

Can we still join in between now and January 3? I haven't really seen any clear definition of a deadline.

I'm waiting for the answer. BCNext reads this thread.

Some changes in the plan:

1. Fundraising is over. That last 1 BTC, sent after the 2nd marking transaction, will be accepted but no more deposits should be made.
2. Nxt will be launched earlier than on the 3rd of January, right after the final test.
3. New Nxt users r supposed to be attracted by selling NXT and distributing via Nxt Faucet.
4. Messaging feature will be released later to avoid situation when somebody attempts to bloat the blockchain making it too huge for newcomers.

BTW we need one more bootstrapping server, coz 2 servers is not enough.

So, if I understand this correctly:

1) the main dev (BCNext) no longer posts directly to this thread but you purport to communicate with him and speak for him about the project, something we can't confirm,
2) the deadline for contributing BTC to acquire Nxt, which was originally described as being open until the genesis block was approved by the community sometimes at least a month from now, is now suddenly declared over with no advance warning; and
3) the BTC that were already sent to acquire Nxt, which the main dev (BCNext) promised earlier in this thread not to touch until the genesis block was generated, have now been moved.

So what, neither was I, but I don't go around complaining about it. Stay with Ethereum, you can put in 10BTC and it will drown out by several thousand BTC from idiot investors looking to get rich quick. You are an idiot to think the decision has anything to do with dilution.
