Why would anyone buy a nxt clone, if you could buy original? What dies it offer over first Gen?
You could insert any clone coin in this question really. The way I see it, as most all of them are open source it has led to many talented individuals (and some scammers) to clone a coin and promise a new innovation on top of the original that would make it better in some way (and for the promise of making loads of money after the coin exchange rate increases dramatically). In some instances, it's a clone with the new flavor of the month tech aspect.
I personally think the crypto community would be better served by having these talented individuals with innovations team with the developer of an established coin and add on to the existing structure rather than create a MyNewCoin v2.1. The proliferation just dillutes the arena, deprives established coins of needed talent to grow, and causes a perceptive hurdle for outside investors/newcomers.
