I had some thoughts about Nxt the last few days and what it would need to grow. this is my list:
offer pool mining
> otherwise small holders never gonna see any mining profit for their whole life
> also if some small miner suddenly finds a block and there is no transaction in it...
redesign the interface, clean&professional look (offer bounty)
> the interface looks pretty amateurish(childish) right now
offer an all in one client
> offer the browser part optional
create a documentation with screenshots for new users for the interface
> easier entry for new users
create a detailed documentation on important topics
> mining, transactions, etc.
change the login to ID + password if possible
> more security
create an exchange
> no more forum only trades (risk of scams)
Create a central website&forum, including a blog about latest developments etc.
> all information & news in one place, also better for promotion of the project, transparency
Clearly explain and lay out all the benefits Nxt has, compared to alts/bitcoin
> again should help to promote the project and shows transparency
I mostly tried to offer some ideas, maybe you find it helpful. its obviously only my personal opinion..
btw, im not an early investor, i only got something from giveaways. (just so you know my background in Nxt)
Seeing as we do not have the source (well you could decompile but it seems to be changing twice a day) I think we should consider NXT as undergoing public stress-testing. No need for a proper launch till critical bugs have been found by more tolerant early adopters.
EDIT: I agree with your points though!
