I have a new way to explain why NXT fundraising was closed at 73 people.
James
NXT fundraising was closed because BCNext generated the Genesis Block. It's not that hard to understand, but people seem to want to create all kinds of controversy around it.
It was closed so the genesis block could be created and the community could start building the software and ecosystem. If BCNext waited until Jan, we'd be 2 months behind.
Yes, time to market is another good angle.
I understand this. What I sense is that this initial distribution is the weakest point of NXT and that we need a simple easy to understand answer that doesn't allow for it to be twisted into the NXT opponents mantra of "greedy founders".
Who can argue with someone being superstitious or symbolic or legally astute?
If we shift the debate to whether BCnext was superstitious or legally astute, it avoids the whole "greedy founders" mantra. We do have to be aware of how NXT is perceived by the public. We don't want to dwell on it, so that is why I tried to come up with an easy one liner we can use to move past this subject.
FCclone: "NXT is so unfair, 73 people made a ton of money"
answer: "BCNext was superstitious and wanted to avoid any legal problems from raising too much money"
I do not think we can ignore this issue. Just trying to help fine tune our response.
