From a sales/marketing perspective... I think that calling Nextcoin by "Nxt" instead of "Nextcoin" is a huge mistake.
Nothing kills adoption faster then "confusion". Calling something "Nxt" is confusing as hell. I know u commented on my video once n asked me to use the term Nxt instead of Nextcoin n it took several weeks before I realized what you were even talking about.
I think we should have stuck with the term "Nextcoin".
Instead of relying on fancy names to promote Nextcoin, we should be focused on making solid features on Nxt and make it as user friendly and easy to understand as possible.
This is one area that is still lacking in the crypto market despite the fact that we have dozens of different currencies.
people who are already in the crypto currency market can figure out and understand what "Nxt" is… But people new to the crypto currency market will have no clue (unless they do extensive research) to even know that Nxt is a crypto currency.
Confusion is not good for public adoption...
Nextcoin would be just as confusing, because Nxt isn't a coin, or rather not just a coin. The "coin" is part of the larger system.
I clearly understand that nxt is not a coin. What do you think people will find when they search for "what is nextcoin?" vs. "what is nxt?" on google?
Right now, the only people that know nxt is a crypto are people on these forums... in order to get massive adoption it's important that the non technie public can "instantly" recognized the term we use.
Do you think people will understand "nextcoin" easier or just using the words "next"?
I understand we want to differentiate ourselves from btc to show that we are unique n different. We can do that by making nxt easier to "use" rather then using a fancy name that does nothing but causes confusion.
I've known and invested in btc n cryptos for a yr now n still did not know what "next" was when I heard n saw it for the first time... however, i instantly knew what the term "nextcoin" meant the first time i heard it.
Imagine how a new public user would think when they first hear the term "next". don't put urself in ur shoes. put yourself in the shoes of a new non techie user.
I don't care about million users of Bitcoins. I care about 400 Million people who did not use Bitcoin or any other coin, but they will use Nxt.
But maybe:
if apple is an organization who created an iPhone,
we can be Nxt who created Nextcoin and many other things...
