NXT is a social experiment as its founders like to say, devs give forgers a choice, so that forgers can exercise their right to vote with their forging power. That's the reason for this patched release. This goes to show the spirit of forgers and what they stand for. If they weren't offered a choice, it would be unknown what forgers stand for, and whether they truely support ideas of crypto currency. NXT forgers proved they do. You can keep trying to twist it as if it's not in NXT favor, but for all unbiased people it's clear to see what it's all about. But trolls gonna troll, it's their life.
So why don't they introduce this as a permanent feature? Give forgers the option to whitelist or blacklist every single transaction at will.
Maybe with a nice thumbs up button.
Do you know why? Because this would be the shittiest of all alt-coins...
Actually forgers can do that on their own, NXT is open source, just like in Bitcoin miners can do that.
They can modify the software to include or not include txs.
If 51% (or 90% soon when Transparent Forging is enabled) of forging/mining power agrees to use the same modified software, then an alternative longer chain can be formed. That's the beauty of crypto currencies
and that's basics of crypto currencies too Well you just go ahead and live in fantasy land.
Luckily most prefer reality.
You are describing the worst altcoin ever.
What the ledger should show is WHAT REALLY HAPPENED IN REAL LIFE
THAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE LEDGER
Not for us to pick and choose what public ledger suits us. lol smh gtfo!!
Actually I'd think you would be impressed with this. Their new technology requiring 90% of forgers to agree is much closer to what you want it to be than the standard >50%.
