Guys, I've read all of about this so called NXT descendant so far and don't want to take your illusions away from you but:

* NEX is not descendant but at least clone and not even as innovative to NXT as litecoin is innovative to bitcoin
* all these so called major features are very marginal IMHO
* some of them a better database for block chain data is good objection and hope it will be improved in NXT soon but it's no feature anyway and it's also nothing innovative there
* I would personally think someone is making jokes here and some other people are taking it seriously
* don't be mad, there is a popularity wave of NXT which has a reasons but this NEX is just an attempt to parasite of that wave so I would not take it seriously

Anyway, good luck with that if you want to, competition and variability (although this one as presented is  just a clone with some minor tweaks) are always welcome in the free world.
