Ok so if I want to invest I can simply:

1. Create a new wallet at blockchain.info
2. Send whatever BTC I want to invest to this wallet
3. Send All the BTC except for 0.01 or so to the Crowdsale address
4. When the time comes, send the specified micro amount to verify ownership.
5. Thats it?

Make sure that change address on step 3 is the same as the one you pay from.

So, if I were to buy these using blockchain.info... I would have to:

use the current version (NOT the next one at alpha.blockchain.info)
create a new wallet
go to "Receive Money" and transfer some bitcoin to the address in there
go to "Send Money"
choose "Transaction Type" "Custom"
select the same address for the select boxes "From:" and "Change Address:"
paste IOTA Crowdsale address in the "To:" field
enter the amount of BTC to buy, it must be less than the total available btc on that address, because I will have to save some (I don't know, 0.01 maybe?) for step 3 plus miners fees
click "Review Payment"
click "Show Advanced"
veryfy that the same address from "Inputs" is listed on "Outputs" with enough money for step 3 (I am guessing 0.01 btc is more than enough)
click "Send Transaction"
go to "Import/Export"
choose "Paper Wallet" and print (to be able to import the private key somewhere else in case blockchain.info migrates to alpha.blockchain.info or shuts down before step 3)
choose "Export Unencrypted" then "Bitcoin-QT format" and copy the JSON somewhere just to be extra safe
pray for blockchain.info to exist and to still have the "Transaction Type" "Custom" in the future
when the time for step 3 arrive, use "Transaction Type" "Custom" option to send the specific amount required in step 3 from the same address that I used as Input and Change Address on the previous transfer

Is the procedure above correct? Did I missed something?

Looks too complex. I prefer this one:

1. Send some amount to buy iotas
2. Send all money to the account where the coins has gone from
3. Send tiny amount to prove the ownership

Ok so if I want to invest I can simply:

1. Create a new wallet at blockchain.info
2. Send whatever BTC I want to invest to this wallet
3. Send All the BTC except for 0.01 or so to the Crowdsale address
4. When the time comes, send the specified micro amount to verify ownership.
5. Thats it?

Even with that explanation, a VERY large portion of all NXT (70%) became the property of VERY few people.

That's true. Well, thank you anyway for visiting us.

Oh I am not saying IOTA might not be successful or a bad investment. Just not a huge fan of NXT.

I do have a question. At December 22nd, when delivery of IOTA's is expected (If I am not mistaken) does the team plan on promoting listing on exchanges and allow for organized trading of tokens?

TOTALLY off topic, but from my casual research, Einstein seems to be the most often misquoted figure in history!

Only thing i don't like is the connection to NXT.

Where is the connection to Nxt?

If I am not mistaken the Jinn and NXT team are fairly integral to the project? I am categorically against project that involves the NXT team due to the NXT ICO setup. I may of course be wrong, and if so I would be happy to be corrected.

Don't worry,Come-from-Beyond has left the BEING DEAD NXT.
Just jump in iota,hope he will not abandon it again.

I had considered trading in a few of my JINN to pad my IOTA holdings but after seeing the response there is NO WAY I'm giving up my JINN assets. This is over 1/3 of all public JINN assets, given back to Triangle. Triangle has done a good job buying back public shares and, in my opinion, this both proves they are quite hopeful of their project AND they want their shares back!

I think I'm going to empty my Nxt reserves in buying into JINN and holding both this and IOTA. You can't remove +33% of a market and not expect it to have a net-positive reflection in price (assuming you believe the asset is legit.)

Also, the more funds raised during the crowdsale, the more likely Jinn is to be successful.

Ok, well I was around for the NXT 'ICO' back in the day and if I remember correctly it was at launch the most centralized currency in the world with under 10 contributors and a return of investment of something like 1500x initial BTC.

Chronos did something weird to your memories. There were 99 contributors, some of them didn't provide Nxt accounts in time so 27 payments were merged into a single Unclaimed Coins fund leading to 73 founding accounts. Most of those 27 guys got their stake after the launch, though in the blockchain it still looks like it was only a single guy with 17% of the total supply.

I was in Nxt team for quite long, almost a year. So you are right.

Ever since ICO the NXT contributors have spend considerable time turning their Millions of USD into other projects and it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Not saying it's a scam or anything, just don't feel that the practice was really sound.

To those who send BTC without fee: Make sure you can spend the same coins again or you may get into a situation when you get no iotas because your transaction is not confirmed but it will pass through eventually after the sale ends.

If I recall well, we can send more than 1 tx from the same address and the amount will be added to the total previous, right?

Yes.
