is there anything that could be done to nxt to prevent high frequency trading? or would it not be possible anyway? just watching this
http://documentary.net/wall-street-code-high-speed-trading/ and started thinking if nxt or any other crypto really did get mass adopted and wall street moved in.. they would just syphon off coins left right and centre... they may have allot of money to put into crypto.. but would you really want it there?
Traders within the Nxt network would still be limited by the block generation interval ("exactly" 60 secs when TF is first activated, this will decrease in future as infrastructure improves). They can't act on any information gained from one block until the next one.
But if they manage to set up some kind of proxy trading system outside of Nxt, and can all agree to just register the result within the Nxt network just in time for block generation... Normally I'd say this kind of
cooperation collusion is paranoid thinking, but then a lot of the big$ nowadays seem to be in league with each other, behind govt shields and taxpayer $.
