Despite all the garbage posted here by Spoetnik, I think NxT has enough innovation, technical lead, market presence and popular support to carry it to the next level of adoption.
Again, contrary to what bullshitters like Spoetnik talk, markets are perfectly legitimate mechanisms for distribution. POW is no better, just different. The other side of the "distribution" coin is that there's plenty of them around so every time there's a dump more of them get spread around.
I'd agree that Jackpot and Quark were innovative, but only in their algos - not much else. An innovative algo isn't necessarily worth Jack (scuse the pun) to the market. NxT isn't centralised, it just has some big holders - so whats new ?
No doubt it will continue to put some noses out of joint in the die-hard myopic world of POW hypocrites, but that won't stop it from going on to new successes
