I don't see what the rush is to distribute the 10 million Nxt, is there a specific reason? In addition, if the individuals are trusted, why would the code need to be changed just to accommodate them? This just doesn't make sense, perhaps I am misunderstanding?

We need features, and to make features we need developers, this is where the Nxt or Nxt>BTC should be spent (or atleast 80% of it). All the hoopla regarding Nxt has died down now and I believe we have reached critical mass in the Bitocointalk community as shown be the diminishing accounts being created everyday. Everyone that is here now and participating is obviously committed, so I can say for sure we have a strong community of Nxt'ers.

The next milestone will be general public adoption, at least the general crypto community and for that we need a rock solid client that hopefully supports forging and a reliable network. In my opinion, being second generation, we need to get to the point where this can be run securely on a mobile phone (transaction and forging) - to me - that is second generation, but that can come down the road as we have plenty to work on regarding the core of Nxt.

All this talk about marketing is great, I work in that space, however, it is not needed at this time and perhaps never will be. All energy and funds (if needed) need to go to development, at least in the next couple of weeks.

I vote that the majority of funds either be dedicated to development or destroyed.

The same again. What do you mean by "dedicated to development"? Do you have something in mind? Then share with the community and suggest a bounty and the community will vote for it.

Also what's the use of destroing the coins? That's fucking crazy. Even two payments of 5M to Cryptsy and BTC-E owners will be way better then destroying them.

But I do agree with the first part. Changing the code just for that reason is maddnes. Don't developers have something more important to do? Why the hell we need this commity at all? Let the coins stay were they are now and focus on ideas for development and promotion.

I can almost guarantee that the account locks is a new feature. He wouldn't change the code for bounty Nxt distribution. Anyway, I'm grateful he is providing 10M, he doesn't have to do that, and we can get on with out it if needed.

Don't send them to genesis account. How stupid is that? Use them for bounties! Jesus. Are you out of your mind?
Account locking will be developed in the (i hope near) future, so why don't we wait until this happens? Until then, we move along as always
Hardcoding this stuff in the core code is an easy target for trolls. Don't do it
