One thing I want to point out quickly regarding the chance that jl777 is pulling some sort of scam(I posted something similar in another thread):

The superNET funds are going to be held in distributed escrow. And it's actually worked out right now, due to the quickness of the launch that James currently holds a very large amount of NXT. And this amount of money is currently more then he's ever likely to hold again during the course of the project. So if his plan was to scam a large sum of money he's either going to do in with in the next few days or he's not going to at all. I think it's pretty clear that he's not going to do it at this point. The window of opportunity for him to scam is closing rapidly.

I've done a fair amount of reading in to the project and watched the way he handles issues related to money and I'm pretty confident that he's legit.

The biggest issue is finding people that can be trusted to escrow large amounts of money. I believe he intends to make extensive use of multisig so that might help in that regard.

It seems like a lot of people tend to get the impression that he's running some sort of con when they first encounter him and his writings. And I can kind of see why considering the amounts of money we're talking about and the causal way he talks about it(edit: his approach to securing the money though isn't casual). But I've also not encountered anyone yet who's spent the time to fully familiarize themselves with what he's doing and still hold that opinion. If this thing was intended to be a scam then he's failed miserably at it because I'm fairly certain that he could have easily arranged the situation to be one where he held nearly all the funds raised for the project. It doesn't really add up so far.

It's still possible of course that we're dealing with some sort of ultra-intelligent sociopath who's planning on pulling a Gox level scam down the road and this is just him laying the ground work. The thing about that is we would never be able to tell the difference anyway at this point and you could say the same about anyone who appears to be honestly running any large project. I doubt that is the case though personally.
