I believe there is a misunderstanding as to what the NSF actually is. It's not a means to regulation (as above me stated that's simply not possible), it is a means to help enforce acceptance. It's also been pointed out a 1% premine is by no means the amount necessary to ENFORCE any price (only slow down movement a little).
While the few businesses accepting bitcoin right now are pointing out what they DO transact in bitcoin is making them money, it's still a very high risk, because bitcoin within the 8-12 (even 14) hour work day can fluctuate in value so much so that there is a margin for error of projected losses for accepting bitcoin (seriously this will become a market standard term if it remains in current state).
The idea behind the NSF can be equated to this;
A small business owner keeps cash in safe until the end of the day.
At the end of the day he takes his cash (presumably with a bag with a $ symbol on it, because that's the only thing that makes sense) to the bank. Between receiving that cash, and taking it to the bank, the small business owner knows that each dollar will remain it's value.
The current state of crypto (and bitcoin) is like having that cash sack expand and decrease constantly, for a SMALL business owner that is potentially too high a risk. It'd be like once in a while he decides to put his money into a sack with a hole in it (bag holders, right?).
The NSF idea is to help the small businesses (by the end of each day), know that they're going to receive the financial compensation for their work as was agreed upon.
Here's where legal matters come in. Many businesses who accept crypto currencies do so under the stipulation that the transaction is representative of the fiat currency represented by the crypto. This means that often your legal transaction under bitcoin unless IMMEDIATELY transacted to the fiat representation, may end up with you paying less (great for you), but you used a card and signed a receipt, you're now under legal obligation to provide that difference otherwise you're stealing. This is crypto in it's CURRENT state, now we all hope to see it become a standard of trade and we'd love to see it just replace fiat, and while we all clamor for that future it's a bit of a way's off. NAUT's NSF is attempting to help those small businesses avoid that loss the big businesses can take the hit if it happens because they're already major huge businesses. But the little guy... no.
Oh, and on the comment made towards me on the 'we want less coins prior to proof of stake', I was only referencing one of the most basic laws of economics; supply and demand.
But here's the big benefit to NAUT, BK is not afraid to change the coin dependent on the climate; many people don't like Bryce (I personally have no opinion one way or the other as I have not had much interactions), but I'm sure Blocktech employees are plenty competent on getting their work done. I would also point out; you make enemies when you make money, especially in something like this, because SOMEONE is going to lose.
I still am buying NAUT (and loving these prices right now), but would love to see it go up.
@hcp are you still accepting NAUT donations for the Facebook campaign but matching fiat value?
You said you were keeping NAUT I just want to be sure how you're handling it before I push the donation address.
Example: I send you $20 worth of NAUT, and you match that out of pocket, leaving the NAUT in the wallet? (If so I'll update this post with it)
