I have been mining and trading, mainly trading now days, for a little over a year. I have to say the technology behind NXT coin and the GUI is awesome. I am quite impressed. I have used other bitcoin 2.0 tech before like Mastercoin and Counter Party to buy Maidsafe and Swarm but was never really impressed with the GUI. I just now got around to installing NXT after reading more about it in this BTCD thread.
Anyway, bravo! I am looking forward to seeing firsthand how NXT and BTCD integrate.
