Part 2 of ZipZap and GoCoin
When I spoke to the guys at the conference, both were asking basically the same thing:
"How is the market we attract different than Bitcoin/Litecoin"
This is an extremely valuable point. If we don't bring in a different market segment, why add redundancy. I know some people don't like the green/eco area, that's cool, but it's a legit difference. As Bitcoin continues to get larger, some people aren't going to be fond of the amount of resources it utilizes. Nxt should be able to appeal to that market on a mass scale.
What else? Why add us if you already have Bitcoin/Litecoin?
This is important, not just mental masturbation. I'd like to make contact again by the end of the week.

Green is nice, but not the important thing.
NXT is PoS
NXT is a whole ecosystem
NXT is new code. ( when they find a flaw in BTC, its not in NXT)
Green is one of the most powerful mass marketing tools NXT can use. The fact that NXT already has a massively lower environmental impact than other, "tradtional" cryptos is a marketing point that will play very well to a large section of the world market.
Unfortunately, pretty much any time "green" marketing gets mentioned, this forum turns into a warzone.
See:

I'd like to see a sensible debate about using green marketing (or not).
and moving on:
We did the work you guys asked for at the Miami Bitcoin Conference, now it's time to give the companies exactly what they want from us. So far we have:
- Large marketing budget
- Green (socially responsible)
- New code -- any case a flaw is found in Bitcoin
- Extremely low transaction fees
- Marketing team willing to work with merchants
** For example, we could organize a 30 day swarm push to help attract merchants to the payment processor. Now, that would be a benefit.
What else? What makes us business friendly? What do ** WE ** bring to the table for a payment processor? Why would it be a mistake NOT to add us?

I'll throw out:
- faster transaction processing than both Bitcoin and Litecoin
- a new crypto platform that has seen phenomenal growth and a #5 placement on coinmarketcap.com, using a whole new distributed blockchain and transaction mechanism, in less than three months since inception. Do they want to ignore this momentum until it's too late, or do they want to take a risk now?
But let me play devil's advocate, though, because the real way to answer this question is to look at Nxt from their perspective:
They'll add it when the market demands it. There's nothing in it for them right now. It's too soon, and your question is therefore rhetorical.
IMHO, this is the wrong horse to chase right now, but thank you for your persistence and attention. Build more market momentum for Nxt FIRST, and then ZipZap and GoCoin will see value and fight to add integration. For example, support Damelon's open-source payment module project. Once it's finished and a market is created for payment processing, go back to them and do one of two things: offer to help them integrate that system into theirs, OR suggest that they should jump in to become a market leader. IN the meantime, keep in touch and update them on the growth of Nxt. Build the RELATIONSHIP. You can leverage it later.
I'd love Tai Zen to weigh in on this. I'd value his thoughts, and you likely would too
many +1's to Joefox here. Build now, mass market soon...
