The real reason why NXT & CO failed so far

I don't know what people intend when they say 'like linux', usually I think it is intended to be derogatory.

We have seen snippets of what I mean. SecureAE.com was built so people could invest in Nxt AE with bitcoin (the conversion to Nxt was hidden). It was useful to bitcoiners.

Jl777 has asset to asset trading (some assets backed by crypto like BTC) in Instantdex/Multigateway. It's actually asset > nxt > asset trade but automated so seems like one trade. People wanted this and find it useful.

Sebastian256 proposed an idea to use the new Voting feature to allow centralised businesses/clubs/societies to use a regular username/password website to record completely decentralized voting results. It could even have a plug in to pay to fees in $ and convert to Nxt automatically so Nxt really does become like TCP/IP, invisible.

It takes time to do but the tools to do it need to be there first.

Coming from me, no...  When I say "like Linux", I mean it's open source, more for devs to be tinkered and played with to create something.  Ordinary people may not appreciate Linux, but they don't know they use it all the time.  A lot of webservers are run by Linux/Apache for example.

Edit:  Do you use Linux?

Nobody knew of the great african american blues men (Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker etc) until white english teenagers in the 60's starting cloning blues  classics. Once people heard Mick jagger singing blues they dug deeper and discovered authentic blues. Since then 90% of popular music has its roots in the blues, which ultimately goes back to slave spiritual music. Who thinks of that connection now? Not many!

Will be the same with NXT. An application running on NXT platform will take off eventually and 90% of people using it wont know what NXT is. How many Facebook users think of tcp/ip? Bitcoin is a different story though. If bitcoin currency tanks, bitcoin platform will too.

Smart money is to own both, but probably more NXT, as it has more scope for killer apps on top.

Unfortunately OP is correct.  NxT is a scam and it's a failure.  Get your money out while you still have a chance.

The posting personalities of the people involved do not inspire confidence. 

Of all the alts out there, these are some of the ones that would inspire more confidence if their devs or designers stopped posting. 

Very true. I personally was put off by them harbouring that retard Cool4School.

Thanks, but I meant "I personally was put off by them harbouring that retard ...".
Care to explain? Is he a developer of NXT?

What NXT devs post here other than CfB?

jl777 is a dev, but building on top of the NXT platform. He's certainly not doing any NXT core dev work if it's all in Java.

I don't see how either of their postings could offend anyone. jl777 just sticks to his own project's threads anyway. And from what I can tell CfB just makes fun of TaunSew all the time(he brings it on himself ).
