I had the original NFDcoin announcement post open in my browser. It might be useful later on. The formatting wont be there but this is a copy paste of the exact post.

We proudly present NFD-coin, the first fairly distributed NXT-clone.
Current Richlist:
UPDATE #1:
The requirements for the free giveaway have been adjusted!
To join you need to have 50 posts on this forum or send 0,0015 BTC to the address below. This was introduced to reduce the number of fakeaccounts!
UPDATE #2:
Anon136 agreed to escrow this IPO. Details can be found in the quote below!
UPDATE #3:
We don't allow any anonymous entries anymore. All existing entries must be linked to a BitcoinTalk Account, or the investment will be forfeit. Deadline is May 10th 23:59 UTC.
UPDATE #4:
Due to my dayjob I have to take a businesstrip until monday/tuesday. I will update everything when I come back. If someone shouts "Dev ran away", please link him to this post. See you!
UPDATE #5:
In about 1 week NFD will launch! I think that now is an excellent time to start the organising of the community. It is obviously upto the community to decide how you guys want this coin managed, but this would be the way I would propose it:
We need:
Temporary "dictator". (Tasks: Will setup the community vote to decide on the commitee, Decides the direction of this coin UNTIL the commitee is elected)
Social Media Group 2-6 persons (Tasks: Managing Twitter/Facebook/Website/Reddit/Bitcointalk ect)
Commitee 6-8 persons (Tasks: Electing a commitee speaker, deciding what happens with the "dead coins" from the investments, stiring the direction of this coin)
This are only suggestions, but you should act quickly! So nominate a "dictator" soon and then start nominating people for the committe. The best candidates will be people invested in this coin, so >0.1 BTC investment. Good luck Smiley
One of the biggest arguments against NXT was the "unfair" distribution amoung the inital stakeholders. In the NXT-IPO 21 BTC were collected and 1'000'000'000 NXT were distributed to 73 stakeholders. This left several investors with a stake of ~5%. This distribution is inacceptebal and NFD will try to solve this exact problem. The exact code of NXT will be used for NFD, that means, that all bugfixes and features will be implemented when NXT implements them. No additional features will be promised at this time.

Who is the developer?
As a bitcoin enthusiast I found NXT in late 2013 and was immediately fascinated by the fundamentally different implemention of the POS algorythm. Until that time I only knew about POS implemented in Peercoin et.al.. I am a very capable Java programmer and I wanted to fork NXT since they released the source early 2014, but now I found the time and motivation to maintain this project. I really beleive that the better distribution can make this coin really successful!

Escrow: (by Anon136)
Quote from: Anon136 on April 26, 2014, 02:09:51 PM
Now offering escrow for this project. Read the following carefully before sending
The way this works is that I will create an address specifically for this project. If you wish to use my escrow for this project you will have to send to that address. I will receive the coins and hold onto them until I receive explicit instructions from you on where to send them. If you want me to send them anywhere other than the address they came from than I will require those instructions to be digitally signed by one of the addresses you sent from. This means only send from an address that you control i.e. satoshi client on your desktop. DO NOT SEND DIRECTLY FROM AN EXCHANGE, IF YOU DO THAN YOU WILL LOSE YOUR BITCOINS. I know this may sound a bit confusing but its actually quite simple and I will be here to walk you through the process if you need help. My fees are 0.02BTC or 0.9% which ever is greater and it will be taken off the top when ever i release or refund those coins.
If these terms seem suitable to you than you may send to the following address when ever you are ready.

Keep in mind that I am using the blockchain for all of my accounting so you don't actually need to tell me that you are sending or have sent but it may be smart to let the developers know that you are using my escrow.
FAQ:
Can I join more than one category?
Yes. You can join the free giveaway and all three other categories if you want, but the maximum of NFD you can receive is 100'000'000. So be careful not to invest more than you can receive.
I sent to little BTC to a category. Can I send another payment?
Yes and no. You can only enter the free giveaway once. The second category has a cap of 0.1 BTC per person, so don't send more than that! Same for the third category, don't send more than 1 BTC.
How do I get the hash of my password?
First you need to choose a safe password. A password with a length of 30 random characters is recommended.
Now you can use any SHA256 calculator you want. Here are some online hashcalculators:
http://www.xorbin.com/tools/sha256-hash-calculatorhttp://hash.online-convert.com/sha256-generatorOr you can use an offline generation method:
Sha256sum for offline password hash generation.
Code:
echo -n "password" | sha256sum
How do I attach the hash of my password to my payment?
1. Register a wallet on blockchain.info
2. Fund it/Import a wallet
3. Go to "Send Money"
4. "Send Custom"
5. You will see a field where you can enter the hash of the payment!
Help! I forgot to attach the hash of my password to the payment! What should I do?
You can message me with the transaction ID and the hash of your password. If there are any discrepances, you might need to sign a message with the address you sent the BTC. So save yourself some trouble and don't forget to attach the hash!
Where can I see how much was is invested in each category?
Just click the links to the addresses above!
How many NFD will I receive?
This depends on the amount of BTC invested in each category, so there is no way of knowing until the end of the IPO period.
Where can I check if my investment was received?
Check out this spreadsheet -->
https://docs.zoho.com/sheet/published.do?rid=josmj3c28ae23100d44d285bad0da6fcd08c9&mode=htmlDoes everone in the same category get the same amount of NFD?
In the free giveaway --> yes.
In the other categorys --> no.
The formula for the other categorys =
Amount of NFD of that category (10, 20, 30%)
/
Total BTC in that category
*
BTC invested by that person
=
NFD for that person. (Max 100'000'000 NFD)
Hint: Right now all have 100 M because there are less investors than there are NFD to be distributed. This will change soon, I guess.
Have any other questions?
Just send me a private message and I will happily try to answer it.
Happy Investing!
Sincerely,
your NFDcoin!
