Nice try
Actually
It is not a clone, at least not a clone of the recent code. The code is obfuscated (probably proguard?) and I don't have time to dig further, but seems to be using a lot of third party libraries that we [Nxt] don't use. Uses jetty, and json-simple, but also jackson and mapdb, no H2.
The developer has definitely borrowed ideas from Nxt, but probably not much from the current implementation.
As for the speculations that it may be BCNext himself - not his style, remember the original Nxt code did not use any other libraries (even the jetty dependency was added later by CfB) and was a single file. It is more likely a good java developer who started from the original Nxt 0.4.x code like I did, but then continued his own way into a completely different implementation. But all this may have been intentional, to confuse people - so the conspiracy theories will keep going on.
Not bad. That is a pretty strong hint in the right direction.
Are there more of these statements around? We could collect those in the wiki as testimonies the code is genuine new.
It will offer more certainty for new investors without releasing source. Pretty good.
If Qora says no other cryptocurrency was used and was built from stratch I believe him. So basically I believe we are looking at a vert smart developer who is achieving something teams messing around with clones have yet to do or as I'm starting to believe it really is BCNext. the evidence is starting to give a strong case. So when Qora says no other crypto currency was used then I think he either looked at ideas of NXT but I think he is BCNext and is just developing the ideas that were his in the first place. You have to admit the evidence at least supports that idea.
Integrating Jetty makes sense in terms of someone who worked alongside NXT project leaders like COme from beyond and took some of people's good ideas and put them into practice, the use of Jetty therefore is not proof that it is not BCNexts current style. Actually it argues potentially for it being his style now.
Do we know anyone else on these forums that was able to pull off a new implementation of NXT ideas on His own?
it's totally BCNext guys,!!!!
And can I suggest another idea that people haven't thought about. Maybe this isn't BCNexts second project, maybe he really just felt like Qora mentioned that NXT was not done right with too much talking and he wanted to try doing NXT again the way he wanted. That isn't quite as exciting as it being his next project but it does throw up another idea. That we should look at Qora as NXT done in the way BCNext always wanted it to be done. Which puts NXT in the garbage can. No wonder he wouldn't want to be known as him.
