mining started off and was originally envisioned with people using home computers to support the network, but an arms race ensued and now it takes large investments in computers that are searching semi-pointlessly to solve problems that don't really mean much. that is a lot of wasted, energy, computer power, and electricity. mining had a real necessity in the early days but now is a system grown out of control via greed. coins are meant exactly to combat this kind of thing. with an IPO or mining a party needs an initial investment to get in, but with an IPO person doesn't need a minimum 10,000 dollars as an initial investment, they can put in 100 or 5 or 5000. which sounds better to a new person wanting to test the waters? cryptocurrencies only live on right now out of speculation, but at some point for them to live, they will need to live on because they are actually being used by real people daily. NXT was a far more fair distribution in reality than bitcoin or probably most any other serious coin. it also has a more environmentally sane way of maintaining the network, which goes back to the original intentions.
In my opinion Doge,Mintcoin,PPC,BC,HBN,BCX and much more coins was better distributed than NXT OK eg. Mint it has 4,5% effective premine but NXT have 100%...
I don't know how that 100% was exactly distributed but i have rad that few investors took few bilns of NXT for 5 Btc.
Mayby they were even connected to devs, i don't know i never can be sure.
POW mining distribution is more transparent we have multipools, we have big farms they aim is ONLY convert BTC...
those miner are putting cheap coins on market and all can catch them.
Coins are getting hot more people are joying the party press is make even bigger attention look at DOGE all could join
and don't try even compare NXT to Doge distribution
Doge is flawless in that matter.
If i compare Mintcoin and NXT in long therm i don't know for fairier distribution my vote goes to Mint.
If NXT main owners can hire 10 fulltime developers they can make unique features for sure but in long
run it looks like paying IT company for printing and maintaining digital money.
I will ask again what about that 1nxt transaction fee this is principal for nxt.
I some poor people want buy bread for 1$ and 1nxt cost 1$ he will pay 2$ in same time while can pay with BTC and it will cost much less 1.0001$
this is most interesting to me. How next will deal with that ? It looks like it can't handle real life currency principals.
No one want give me answer so far about that.
