Sign the petition to demand Nxt release source code so we can begin our journey: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=422590.msg4598983

So..this project won't take off the ground unless NXT release the source code?

I think I see a slight inkling of a flaw here.

I am calling their bluff that "Nxt is open source".

Oh, I entirely agree with you. If the source isn't public then no, it is not open source. But if NXT are keeping the source to themselves for financial reasons, I do not see what motivation they would have to release it. When I say flaw, what I mean to say is, NXT are not going to release to source unless it is in their best interests, so any protest would have to impact the value of NXT to be successful.

If the source code is closed, then how can I trust that it does not have malware. Maybe you didn't know, most all the developers of Nxt are from Belarus.

Again I agree with you. There could be malicious code in NXT that steals NXT from its stakeholders, or it could be perfectly fine, but I do agree that not releasing the source is highly suspect, but in a sense you can also understand that if they are profiting from it, then they don't want others, such as NEX, taking a slice of their pie. Their motives are purely financially motivated.

NEX is their worse nightmare. Release their source code and instantly you have a bigger community elsewhere.

Keep their source code, then you are highly suspect and can't be trusted.

Keep their source code and they reveal that they have no barrier of entry.

Why buy Nxt, when you can get thousands of NEX for free?

This argument only applies if enough people get behind NEX to devalue NXT. You would need a massive amount of support before a single NEX is even handed out, and the altcoin community is fickle enough as it is.

I do agree with you, but it's a big task.

The key to Litecoin's success was a fair launch.

The key to NEX launch will also be a fair launch.
