Unfortunately YOU do not understand the NXT distribution model....
Whether is was premined by one guy or 70 (as in this case) the distribution is concentrated and buying in is not worth it.
I can think of various ways of having a better distribution model e.g
1) Similar to the lottery coin were is simple mining process was included until a certain number of block have been generated.
2) a lottery type of distribution based on ones BTC or LTC wallet address and requiring a minimum of a certain number of coins, which can be verified from the block chain and by ensuring that people do not create multiple addresses. Maybe a time delay ....?
3) a serious elaborate marking campaign before they were distributed.
4) a minimum number of say, 10 000 or more, early adopters.
5) Peercoin is a better example of Proof of Stake and distribution model.
etc ....
This is nothing better than Ripple, etc.
The distribution model concentrated in the 70 guys just does not gel for me .... Early adopters ...... that principle is just not fair.....
The other ideas are good, but NXT is not a payment coin, neither is Protoshare nor Megacoin or whatever its name is. So do not compare it to BTC or LTC.
BTW I currently only have BTC, LTC and Protoshare, but I am not stuck to them ....
