NXT's greatest competitor seem to be Ethereum. It's main feature that NXT still lacks is scripting, which is a wonderful idea (along with it's risks of course) - kudos to Vitalik and his team for bringing this up!
Because I want NXT to be competitive and because this is a great feature on it's own, I decided to personally fund a team led by CIYAM and CfB (as long as he is with us), to implement this technology in NXT too!
The code will be open sourced when the feature is finished and extensively tested.
We will use a private github repo if others want to easily review the source during development.
Let the good times roll!
Damn that is good news.
