I have one word for you
marketing.
This. I think they should focus more on getting developer-entreprenuers to build on top of NXT than spending time marketing it here at the useless people of the BTT altcoin section.
NXT is something you just don't rule out. Their team and community seems determined to see it through whether success is attained or not. That's good to see.
"build on top of NXT"... it's just not happening enough, YET.
There are lots of decent projects out there with 1-2 Devs building with Twitter and a shoestring...
I suppose maybe they think some Venture Sugar Daddys will come by someday and throw money at them...
But Venture Guys NEVER invest in your 1st business... guys on their 1st business are a high risk investment...
So you are down to crowdfunding... or platforms like NXT.
In the next 12 months...
A lot of these quality projects will chose to launch Assets on the Nxt AE where you can raise $50K, $100K, 500K, it depends...
(Though dodgy, vapor projects are not welcome... and tend to be weeded out by Mods or the NXT Community).
