My "personal" judgement is NXT is a get rich quick scam through a promise of exponentially growing appreciation of value for the coin. A "new generation" pump and dump scam coin if you might say so.
There is absolutely no need to start a new one when even the "future" planned features would work for Bitcoin existing chain (Except the DNS [expiring] entries),
For any NXT developer reading this. For god sake if that is the case name your price and start a crowdfunding time frame. Make the feature and give it to the Bitcoin community. Get your money and move on. Here you got the money and you made the feature, WITHOUT REINVENTING THE WHEEL
Stop the bullshit hypocrisy or your NXT guys will look like fools. If any of your alt. coin developers want my btc, you are better working for it. Innovation is good, competition is good but claiming you are the one chain and others re-inventing the wheel is the most idiotic.
Changing the quoted words to refer to Nxt doesn't work, because Nxt is too different to Bitcoin, both in philosophy and in implementation, for them to apply, and the Bitcoin community is too conservative. Bitcoin does not want a multitude of different transaction types. It doesn't want Proof of Stake - it's still happy with Proof of Work. It's not even interesting in fixing long-standing flaws like transaction mutability, or failure to relay double-spend attempts. All the development work is being done outside of the core, on wallets and suchlike, and that's how the community wants it. There's no way Nxt ideas would ever be accepted by Bitcoin. It had to be a new block-chain.
Where-as Nxt is pretty open to new features. It has an architecture that can cope with them. So there's much less reason to fork Nxt or start a rival to it.
