I think NXT has a should forge nxt routine that penalises a node for not producing the next block......
Also when is the launch
I feel that once nxt gets its p2p exchange out, and it works now, plus scripting, its kinda game over for almost all alts excepts PeerCoin, LTC, Doge, PrimeCoin, CureCoin and ethierium.
and nxt inturn will get taken down by NEM and Emunie.
I personally don't prescribe to the competition mindset. What we've been saying is that we just want to build stuff that people like and want to use, and do that really well. I don't want to kill any project, just take what's good and contribute back what we think is good (but even that's in the eye of the beholder).
E.g., we chose btcd because we think the Conformal Systems guys are on the ball, and believe a modular approach of the btcd code base will benefit this project in the long term. There's lots of learning to do, and it's a continuous process. It's always fun to do a bit of trolling, but I'd like to see all of those projects succeed.
