Provided that the "account holder" has made 1 transaction (either by sending NXT, creating an alias or forging a block) their account will have a 256 bit "public key" associated with it.
Someone trying to create a new account that has an account id already in use would receive an error (due to the public key being different).
The only problem that arises is if people don't do a tx at all - in that case whoever does the first tx will *own* the funds (so yes you should always do a tx before asking others to send NXT to your account).
Ack, I completely forgot about BTER. So the beggar is sending NXT to BTER, nothing to see here?
Nope! It s clean
Thanks. I deleted my original message; I should've investigated more before posting (being half-asleep with an internet connection + stupidity can be dangerous).
is it too much to ask for a small price drop? =[ bter finally released my funds and its not at the price i want to buy in
it's too much really. Price manipulation by stakeholders is not good anymore. The price is not too high now, even comparing to next IPO, not saying about release. And now price dips at bter - good opportunity to get in.
There is no bump without following dump. It's not about manipulation. Someone with huge amount of Btc bought a pretty nice piece of Nxt today. Unless there are more rich guys wanted to get into Nxt the price is going to fall a bit.
Every market is about manipulation, even those having high cap!
