"One of the reasons Nxt is groundbreaking is because it gives the economy back to the people and re-establishes them as their own sovereigns over their destiny. An economy is an expression of a political ideology. Do not mistake us as just another cryptocurrency. We are a movement."

Nxt :: descendant of BitcoinNxt uses brand new software. It’s not a fork of Bitcoin's source code.
Nxt is the first 100% Proof-of-Stake (PoS) currency. Coins are earned solely by charging transaction fees. Unlike other currencies with PoS mining, Nxt's PoS mining does not cause monetary inflation. The total amount of Nxt in circulation is 1 billion. Nxt is resistant to +90% attacks via its transparent forging algorithm.
Nxt improves different features of Bitcoin, removes some disadvantages (e.g. bloated blockchain) and resolves a big environmental issue. Time between blocks is one minute. This increases the rate of orphaned blocks, but makes it more convenient for the users.
Nxt doesn’t use so-called “scripts” aka predicates. This simplifies and accelerates transaction processing. Advanced features like multisig will be created on top of the core as 3rd party services.
Nxt is routable through
Tor and
I2P anonymous networks.

Please Run a Nxt NodeIf you can run a Nxt node, it will help us stabilize and secure the network. If you have invested in Nxt, it is beneficial to you to run a VPS to help to secure the Nxt network. Hallmarking your node helps the network, but is not necessary.

Nxt Software Change LogBE SURE TO CHECK THE SHA256 HASH OF YOUR DOWNLOAD!If you're running GNU/Linux, the program sha256sum is standard on most versions of the OS. Use the sha256sum command:
'sha256sum
PATH_TO_NXT_DOWNLOAD'
If you're running OS X, a SHA-256 can be calculated using the openssl command in an open terminal (the terminal is located in /Applications/Utilities).
'openssl sha256
PATH_TO_NXT_DOWNLOAD'
If you're running Windows, use an
online calculator to calculate the sha256 hash. Upload the Nxt.zip file you downloaded, when the website asks for a file.

Open Nxt Client- Open your browser and go to
http://localhost:7874- Click the "Lock" icon in the upper left corner to unlock your account.
- Enter your passphrase or if you don't have an account, enter your new passphrase. Make sure you use a very random, complex password of at least 80 characters. You can use 0-1, a-z, A-Z, special and national characters.
Security Tips- Do NOT use the passphrase for your Nxt account on a VPS client. Only use your Nxt passphrase on a local Nxt client. Even if you connect to your VPS securely via SSH, you are still not safe because all VPSs have backdoors.
