Are you complaining about BTC core client or pushing NXT? You got me confused.

Bitcoin-QT is only supposed to be run by people with the hardware and bandwidth needed to run nodes, not as a user friendly wallet. There are other endless options, fast and instantaneous like Ellectrum. I would still like to see it improve and be more lightweight, but it will eventually happen along with more features. They are working on the fundamentals now. We aren't even 0.2 ffs.
Anyway, enjoy your PoS POS.

So I fired up the BTC Qt Core client yesterday to sync up with the blockchain. And it took 98% of CPU and something around 980 MB RAM while syncing. This does not happen to me with any other Qt-based cryptocurrency. What I was amazed by, however, was the total lack of any development. The GUI looks the same as with the first initial version, the client is becoming ever-heavier, there are no new functionalities (seriously Hobonickels have better dev team of one person than Bitcoin), the only difference is a pesky "client is shutting down" notice. BTC is nowhere near comparable to NXT.
NXT blockchain downloading is fast, simple and does not lag the client or take any unnecessary resources from the system - not true for Bitcoin.
NXT is available across all platforms that support Java without additional need for compiling for the specific platforms - not true for qt-based clients, including Bitcoin.
Writing an NXT plugin is extremely simple and effective - programming on the Bitcoin core is complicated and required dedicated companies for feasible results.
Not even word like "sidechains" can save Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a tech startup, it is not a platform, it is an application developed by a single man.
Goodbye, Bitcoin
