We should stay with the plan of paying 230k nxt for this campaign and reserve the slots for the next months.
Keep in mind that Ethereum and emunie are on their way... nxt needs to be and stay in people's minds.

While long term etherium and emunie will probably get tangled in legal issues regarding their IPO's lack of formality, in the short term, they are coming out EXACTLY when NXT is vulnerable. Until April, we could actually have slightly less features than emunie.

I know this is a tech oriented community, but I hope you can understand that sometimes it is prudent to substitute marketing/PR for a gap in tech. It is only a temporary thing and maybe it won't be a big deal, but what if people make emunie a giant success and take the thunder away from NXT? Is that a risk we should take when we don't have to?

Marketing as DEFENSIVE weapon. Marketing to make people excited about NXT and wait until April to decide between NXT, emunie and etherium. By then, the lawyers might already be circling one or both of those, so it would be game over in favor of NXT.

That is a nice outcome and well worth taking the chance with 10 million NXT that is inching closer and closer to the incinerator. It is like a use it or lose it vacation time. Let's use it. Now is the perfect time to use these funds. It will make all of our NXT worth that much more in the long run. That is what I want. Don't you?

Yes. Right after the official client is released. And you know what I mean by official. I mean the client the community deems to be the best and thus becomes labeled the official client because that is the parlance of our times.

Funding authorization is ALL that is required for a signal to the whales that NXT is serious business and to save the 10 million NXT from being vaporized

Marketing benefits the entire NXT community, globally. It is perfect way to spend community funds. Without marketing much harder to convince more whales to invest big. Also, whales like to make money, so if we announce funding before it is spent, it gives them time to accumulate the NXT before the big run up in price created by the big marketing campaign.

With the client days away from being released, the time is now. With emunie IPO starting next week, the time in now. With etherium IPO starting, the time is now.

This is a race and NXT is going to win, so lets let the whole world know this. all it takes is to fund marketing.
