I would think BCNext too would have the insight to understand that having a common goal to work towards is healthy for the community
Well, we have 2 options:
1. Take current version of Nxt and keep develop it in our own way, without changes added by BCNext
2. Wait for 2nd and 3rd parts of BCNext's plan, read them and decide if we need to follow them. If we don't then see point 1.
In any case we lose nothing. Nxt already has more features than Bitcoin.
2 1+2 is the wise choice. This incredible community can create fantastic things. If we would solely rely on BCNext plans we would miss chances to develop great ideas and features BCNext wouldn't thought of. Why not merge OUR ideas with BCNext ideas?
