I was browsing the NXT thread which I learned about after someone pointed out how to get a stake in NEM. In the NXT thread is a guy who has all the stats on those who forge. The distribution really isn't that wide. It drives home the complaint about NXT being true. (A few large stakeholders) So now we have guys showing up on here trying to discredit NEM by putting it under the same umbrella as NXT. It makes perfect sense as NEM is probably the biggest threat to NXT at the moment from what I see.
L-O-L internet.
Since forging isn't intended as a means of distribution, how is that relevant?
I'm a NEM stakeholder and cautiously optimistic for its prospects... but to be honest, the bulk of what I see here are logos and bitching/complaining/defending NEM's stakes. In Nxt-land we're banging out the last few client bugs in the asset exchange. Not a lot here to make a reasonable Nxt holder shake at the knees.
You can go through the blocks and see how many people are forging. From that data one can infer how wide the distribution is. I didn't go through the guy's code, but his post seemed reasonable. Thats how it is relevant.
I am not talking about "reasonable stake holders", I'm talking about the people who got in early and might have the majority of their networth derived from NXT or inside NXT.
