Well, I faced a moral dilemma and would like to ask for an advice...

FrictionlessCoin created a thread dedicated to NEX (descendant of NXT). I had a lot of fun reading that thread but I suspect some people took NEX seriously. The problem is that if FC waits till April when Nxt source code becomes completely open, he still won't be able to generate a valid genesis block, coz Nxt uses a crypto algo modified by BCNext (this is why we collected 10 BTC for the audit). I support all cryptocurrencies and would like to help him to create a new genesis block, competition is good for the whole crypto-community. But this could look not very good to guys who own NXTs...

What would u do?

I would tell him that the only way for his coin to be truly fair, would be to make it free forever. Otherwise, he's creating nothing new or fair.

I work for a non-profit and so work willingly for a small wage doing a job that could earn me loads of dosh.
That doesn't make it "unfair", it makes it my choice.

I find these cries of "unfair" so unbelievably naïve. I entered Nxt and couldn't buy a lot, because of said wage. So I decided to work, and it's paying off, because people here value work. I love that. Anyone who puts in hours and puts himself in the limelight can earn. I really believe FrictionlessCoin believes his story, though. That makes it a bit sad, because in the end he will still have to deal with the accusations of those who came later to the party.

The sad truth is that a lot people are out for a free lunch.

+10

I get the impression that FC actually has some psychological issues. I definitely wouldn't want to spend much time in the same space....
