Thank you for your comment, zorke.
I do have more than what you see in that account, but I've bought at market prices, which were often a lot higher than now. This is part of my retirement fund, so I have to be careful with it. But I do think it's important to contribute in some way. I can't write code, so donating to some members who seem like they can contribute to the community is the best I can do right now.
I suspect that some members of the community might not like such giveaways, since they, for the most part, have also had to buy NXT on the market. Giving away something that has value can sometimes undermine that value. So we should be careful with what and how much we give away and why. I was just getting impatient, I guess, and wanted to light a few fires to get something going and to feel like I was contributing.

You're doing things the right way. I think the fallacy that some use is trying to compare a 2nd generation crypto to Bitcoin. You simply can't do that because Bitcoin has a 5 year headstart. When you're first to market you can get away with a lot of stuff that you cannot when you're trying to build upon that core infrastructure. All these people using "Satoshi did this" or "early adopters own x" is just spinning their wheels. You cannot be late to the game and expect to be afforded the same luxury as something that broke ground.
The entire goal right now is to entice people to use Nxt. And you do that by giving them the opportunity to test it. Luckily people like you and Damelon get that.
