I've got no doge in this fight (ha!)

Why?

Because Doge has nothing but meme + enthusiasm.

Doge is great because it's accessible, fun, and isn't a community filled with metaphorical puckered assholes. It's something anyone can get into without spending $5000 at butterfly labs.

I can see both sides to this, the pros and cons.

Nxt does need some form of micro payments.

marketing: And I'm not really into promoting Nxt until it's ready. I'm tired of saying Nxt's client is a clusterfuck. I'm tired of apologizing for it. When I can show my luddite fiancé how to buy something (preferably her morning coffee) on her iPhone using Nxt, I'm in.

The dysfunctional disconnect between this thread and the other fora doesn't help. I've tried.

also, maybe I'm naive: marketing requires a market.
