Jean-Luc, one of core Nxt developers:
"NEM and NXTL are trying to innovate and improve on the ideas brought by Nxt, they are apparently re-writing and re-designing everything from the ground up, and will be a healthy competition to Nxt. So they have my respect."
How can J-L know if NXTL is real? Is he testing NXTL? Has he seen some codes? I doubt it. He just said that he doesnt mind competition, I bet he knows only as much as we do.
Actually, Im a little bit concerned, we havent seen any proof of work done, those pictures could easily be done in photoshop, all we see is that devs want more BTC and apparently dont mind thousands of sockpuppets. Im really looking forward to the "formula".
And Dzarmush, I ve seen how critical you were to NEM for letting sockpuppets in, why are you not concerned with NXTL doing the same?
My guess is that devs speak with each other and Nxtl devs consulting with Nxt devs.
As for fighting puppets I posted some thoughts in this thread and was totally ignored. I've got not a single answer from devs. To be honest I'm tired to shout in nowhere. I suggested some measures to Utopian but was ignored. At least he didn't accept payments from exchanges. Now Nxtl devs don't even want to forbid sending payments from exchanges although I posted an image with taint analysis which showed that 11% payments were made from Bter. I don't want to post comment with huge red letters, I'm sure they've read it but didn't take them in consideration.
