i think NXT has an interesting twist that many of us haven't considered yet that might skyrocket nxt...
Mesh Networking... or Decentralized Internet.It has all the ingredients of facilitating and kickstarting the decentralized mesh internet movement:
- DNS Routing and Domain Name System -
CHECK- Messaging / Email -
CHECK- Currency -
CHECK- Decentralized Marketplace -
CHECK- Decentralized File Storage -
CHECKCurrently outside of nxt, there are certain coins that implement each of these systems. But none of them is in one integrated system, which means namecoin would have to work with storj for file storage and florincoin for messaging. We can see each dev team would have to really collaborate together under one roof, and also the fact that each coin has its own separate currency which would cause fragmentation among devs hindering development time just like how we see the bickering over 20mb blocks on btc.
Once someone integrates CJDNS with nxt alias and packages it into a small affordable form factor like a raspberrypi or chromecast. This can really stir things up if everyone hopped onto this decentralized network. Imagine distributing these small devices to small villages or city areas with low internet connectivity. Or even possibly replicate what Google is doing with the Loon project (
