Just like NEM - make a thread, let people pay some coins (not too many), let it run for few weeks and the divide the NXTs between everyone who has take a part in an IPO.
Guess you weren't into NXT during the original thread release? Since that is exactly how it went.
NXT's investment timeframe was run for 6 weeks (lateSept - early Nov). Only 73 people were interested in it, which is why there was only 73 original stakeholders with amounts invested between .00000001-1 BTC. The rest of the posters called scam or didn't believe in it. BCNext called it off early at 21 BTC for who knows why... might have been the "21" type of feeling aka 21=21,000,000(total ever BTC created) type of look. Or maybe BCNext worrying about too many multiple buy-ins, or something else.
The only people that call it unfair now is those that missed out on it. Especially when the price was still 1BTC = 1M NXT during the first 1-2 weeks AFTER NXT was released.
You can have fun reading the original thread if you want:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-nxt-descendant-of-bitcoin-303898Actually, 74 people were interested in NXT during the pre-sale, but the 74th was not allowed to invest and had the door slammed in his face while waiting to hear back from the founder for clarification on the deadline. About a week after the pre-sale was abruptly terminated with no advance warning and while someone was interested in participating, NXT was being sold at a 4762% markup from the original average pre-sale price, from .000000021 BTC/NXT to .000001 BTC/NXT.

Can we still join in between now and January 3? I haven't really seen any clear definition of a deadline.
I'm waiting for the answer. BCNext reads this thread.
Some changes in the plan:
1. Fundraising is over. That last 1 BTC, sent after the 2nd marking transaction, will be accepted but no more deposits should be made.
2. Nxt will be launched earlier than on the 3rd of January, right after the final test.
3. New Nxt users r supposed to be attracted by selling NXT and distributing via Nxt Faucet.
4. Messaging feature will be released later to avoid situation when somebody attempts to bloat the blockchain making it too huge for newcomers.
BTW we need one more bootstrapping server, coz 2 servers is not enough.
1) the main dev (BCNext) no longer posts directly to this thread but you purport to communicate with him and speak for him about the project, something we can't confirm,
2) the deadline for contributing BTC to acquire Nxt, which was originally described as being open until the genesis block was approved by the community sometimes at least a month from now, is now suddenly declared over with no advance warning; and
3) the BTC that were already sent to acquire Nxt, which the main dev (BCNext) promised earlier in this thread not to touch until the genesis block was generated, have now been moved.
