NXT = Java = popular websites = MtGox

Can you do anything other than troll and conflate separate concerns?

Java == MtGox. You've just destroyed any shred of credibility you had remaining.

MtGox was written in PHP.

I dont understand the metaphore? Can you explain?

How is NXT close to MTGOX?

NXT used to be in the top 5 and is number 13 now.
Keep on dreaming fanboy.

NXT is a scam.  It's like Supernet 1.0.  Promises to do everything and then make dinner, but actually still does nothing significant.

Even if it isn't right now, NXT may become a scam because it is proof of stake and the devs can move/create coins as they see fit.

Also, Java's attack surface...GTFO n00bs.   

NXT is the 13th largest cryptocurrency, and it has well respected dev team and tons of support.

Now it has a pause period now, but if the work continues it will be worth x10 x100 x1000 more, if the people will like their new features!

Can you imagine a scenario where a small community might want to use the power of a crypto currency that's distributed among them using PoW, but there aren't enough users to ever secure their own PoW network? The community would want to control as much as possible about the coin, so using Bitcoin wont work as most of the variables are already set, and the value is too volatile.

Think hard, and I'm not talking about you personally here either, just a group of people anywhere in the world who might want to use a crypto currency between themselves. I can think of literally millions of cases (my mind is very open), and many use cases don't suit bitcoin.

Bitcoin is cool and worth a lot for what it can do, but it isn't appropriate in every use-case where a PoW coin might be useful, BUT, that's ok because the NXT MS can cater for many other use-cases, including small niche cases, like a school community, workplace, apartment block etc.

How many P2P nodes do you need running 24/7 to secure a PoW network? More than many niche coins could ever guarantee on their own network, so they either use an existing crypto like bitcoin, or start their own MS coin.

I'm currently working on a proposal for a 'school coin', distributed using PoW, with a fixed supply that's reached within 12 months. I also want to peg the value of the coin to 1 cent. This coin would be very useful in a small school community of ~500 students as a 'rewards' system, and I can make it using a NXT MS coin quite easily. AFAIK there isn't any other viable option open to me.

Correct. But we were talking generalities here about relative security all factors considered.

If you aren't a shitty programmer, you know exactly what you're doing and don't need (high-overhead) training wheels like "automatic buffer protection."

And iCEBREAKER will never become a rational amicable person with fairly balanced views with an open mind.

where is the automatic buffer overrun protection in C?


Look in the mirror buddy. There is the ego problem.

LOL.  Welcome to October 2014!
