I was watching
The Prestige and skimming thru the recent posts when I found an interesting thread and interesting replies:
And an idea has crossed my mind.
Focus. We used to think that most of altcoins r created to make their creators rich. Nxt is not an exception, but it does it in unusual way.
A few points to think about:
1. Where all these drug dealers from Silk Road went to?
2. Is it possible for one man to develop a cryptocurrency in a few weeks (not to fork Bitcoin code)? 1 month ago we haven't ever heard of Nxt.
3. Is there anyone
crazy brave enough to run a Silk Road clone?
And now let's look at Nxt:
1. Decentralized, u can't shut down it.
2. Invulnerable to ASICs/supercomputers coz it's not a PoW currency.
3. All features necessary to run a
nxt Silk Road r being developed in 1st place.
We suspect Satoshi is a group of people. What about BCNext? He may be a group of programmers who r paid for creating a platform where drug dealers will trade their goods. Or just a man who wants to make the world better.
PS: Just IMHO inspired by the movie
1. Who knows, but now they have tasted what CAN be done, I'm sure that they will all jump on the next thing that comes along as an enabler
2. Yes it is, there are plenty of open source code bases available to start from. If your goal is a BTC "clone" with minimal changes, then you could start with one of these and makes the mods you need. One or two guys could get a prototype together in a month or 2.
3. Yes to this too, the biggest mistake DPR made was to be greedy, greed will always be the downfall of man, he should of made a couple million and bailed out before the heat.
BTW: The Prestige is an awesome movie!
