One thing is for sure a Turing-Complete Nxt would have much more marketing WOW than 1000 TPS Nxt.

I think everyone can clearly see that fact with Ethereum.

You cannot be serious with this statement. What percentage of people have even heard the phrase "Turing-Complete"? What percentage of people hate standing around waiting for that little machine to spit out their Visa slip?

People don;t really care it takes one minute but they care more that their purchasing power doesn't depreciate during the transaction.

If you want to pull off a VISA type setup your gonna have to fix the price of NXT....the US Dollar doesn't fluctuate on moment by moment basis....but NXT does.

This problem applies to both merchants & consumers....it's like buying goods in Euro and selling them in USD....after a certain amount of time your profits might be wiped out by rate fluctuations.

EDIT: Turing-Complete is to take the spot light off Ethereum...we are in the market for crypto-investments, programmers and early adopters....Turing-complete is a competitive threat against Nxt.

You know, thís happens quite a lot: talking about two different things
Please don´t muddle the waters by answering a question about the marketing for mainstream with an argument about marketing for crypto-investers and programmers.

That really doesn´t help.

For mainstream Turing-complete is a useless fact. VISA is better, but the mainstream person, as someone already said, doesn´t know and doesn´t care.
They just want it to work, smoothly and effortlessly and it also must be cool.

The VISA and Turing is for here and the experts. Those are important to get even started. We won´t reach mainstream without first tackling that.
