They seem to be becoming increasingly berserk in terms of the upfront BTC they're asking.

If I liked some of the actual systems themselves, I'd be looking to buy post launch for some as there's no way they can justify the initial IPO price.

Yes, agreed. Most of the IPO right now, just put up a powerpoint/whitepaper and then ask for money. The real system will take months to implement.

If we have to wait months, it's a bit of a gamble that someone else won't ninja launch something better while we are waiting.

I notice most of the recent ones have plenty of promises, but no fully working beta.

The only reason you should invest in an IPO is if the developer is a reputed/ a knowledgeable  person.
Else you should steer away. Most of them are empty promises.

why does it have to be an IPO?

I'm pretty annoyed with myself.

Missed nxt.

sent a little bit of money to edgecoin (not much, thank god)

Missed Qora.

got in on the freebie part of eXo, but didn't invest, because I was skeptical

blah.

I've admitted to myself that I can't pick 'em.

So I'm asking you guys, are there any good IPOs going on right now? Why is it a good IPO?

Qora is at IPO prices!

not even close, but we will be soon


I bet you miss your chance to buy.


Yeah, but people were thinking like that as Qora hit the exchanges at 100 sats. So I would have lost 80% till today.

Can someone give me an explanation on why NXT is good?

What's with those photos on their site? Are those real NXT devs or just a bunch of stock photos of random people?

*SNIPPED*


the more interesting question is what do you think?

About the photos or NXT in general. I see that the photos were from an unofficial site.

This is the best explanation up on NXT I've read http://deadloch.com/nxt-explained/

It seems promising, but will it be supported or become a flash in the pan that is dropped when the new new thing comes along.



The "official" site of NXT is this http://www.nxt.org/

and i cannot see any photos like you are saying.

If the http://www.nxtcommunity.org/ is an unoffical site, then that clears it up. Thanks for the clarification.

Er, its already been mentioned, but NXT is seriously de-centralised and so pretty much all NXT sites can be seen as official.
This de-centralisation is one of the great strengths of NXT......it means that no-one in the NXT community is so important that they cannot be replaced.
One of the most common reasons for a currency to fail is that the core devs/community leaders either run off with your money, or turn out to be idiots, or stop supporting the currency and move on to the next get-rich-quick scheme. With NXT, this isn't a problem. The original dev for the NXT core code was replaced a long time ago, for example.

The pics on www.nxtcommunity.org are stock, but the plan is to replace the stock fotos with pictures of 'real' NXT users/investors.
I hope we can find some good-looking ones......

Lastly: NXT is open source. Has been for a very long time, since February/March as I remember. Where do you think all the NXT clones are getting the code from?
Here, probably: https://bitbucket.org/JeanLucPicard/nxt/src

And just by way of a comparison: NXT was initially financed with 21 BTC, and has bootstrapped itself with internal financing (no outside investment) to where it is today. Now look at the insane amounts of BTC that certain IPO's are attracting......

that is 2580 bitcoin...that is under estimating how innovative they are friends.
Taking well-known ideas and sticking them together has nothing to do with innovation

no one else does business on block chain or smart contract.
plain wrong. read about:
NXT
peershare
bitshares

they take scrypt and combine with namecoin and make it better.
how is that better? mining will die sooner or later .. arrange with that

software written from scratch is bad and errorprone. syscoin to the moon! come and buy some coins
Ok .. let me think .. Linux is an OP that was written from skretch
openoffice .. written from skretch
wait .. bitcoin was new, written from skretch and was errorprone!
NXT written from skretch .. in Java .. still worth millions of dollars

Take your arguments and rethink before posting
