Is Nxt open or closed source?

Decompilation does take time and required several kinds of decompiler and manual editing to perform.

The source code is all made available for anyone who wants to make a copy.  Or anyone who wants to permanently destroy Nxt.   IMHO, security by obfuscation is really not a sound approach.

I simply ask is that you update the first post to reflect the current project status. It's the first thing people will read when they come to this thread so it should be accurate and up-to-date:

 - Asking people to test the alpha code (i.e. decompiled NXT code on the NXT network) is arguably not a good use of their time, as NEX is to be built on completely fresh codebase
 - NEX is not based on NXT codebase, so the request to the NXT team is no longer relevant

It's your thread and your post so obviously your call; but as you're a busy man I felt obligated to point out some remaining inaccuracies.
