Why can Ripple have 3 second transactions and NXT can't?
Coz Ripple is distributed and Nxt is decentralized. That's a BS answer. According to Ripple Labs they will be just as decentralized as NXT is in the future. All that as to happen is for volunteers to host the servers instead of Ripple Labs, which is no different than asking users to pay for VPN services and running nodes. Right now Ripple is the only alt-currency/network that is ready for prime time when it comes to being point of sale capable and even if your argument were true, the merchants & users will give exactly two shits about which one is more decentralized. If it works, it works. End of story. First one to the finish line gets to be Google. The rest will enjoy bing and yahoo status. That's BS. It ain't over til its over. If your statement held any weight then there wouldn't be a Ripple or NXT because Bitcoin was first. The more animal that has evolved to be more adaptive will eventually feast on the flesh of the lesser adaptive. Ripple and NXT are Bing and Yahoo right now. Bitcoin is Google (as in Kleenex, Band-Aid type brand dominance) but it's search algorithm is not so hot and is ripe to be taken over by a competitor. It's not a perfect meta-phor, just a hsitorical example of where we are right now. You could go w/ VHS v Betamax, Microsoft v. IBM, v. APPLE v. WANG You are comparing apples to apples. Bitcoin and Ripple are apples. NXT is fruit salad.

Texas Bitcoin Conference NXT Marketing BrochureI would like to thank bitcoinpaul, w4llace, LiQio, EvilDave and especially mvag for their prompt and generous assistance in revising my primitive, clumsy attempt at an NXT marketing brochure into this thing of beauty: http://nxt.sx/images/resources/NXT-Brochure-4.pdf Small typo: It's John s Hopkins University, not John Hopkins. Just joining to correct this type-o shows COMMITMENT! Well done, sir rickyjames, will you please post a link to that final NXT trifold brochure with the John(s) typo corrected? The file has been corrected for the "Johns" typo and is now located at the same and link as above / before. Poofknuckle, in my eyes you are as big a member of the brochure team now as anybody with your typo catch. We want very much to get on the Zerocash team's good side, and correctly spelling their home institution is (duh) important. Thanks.

Question to the pro's here:
How much nxt do I reasonably need for forging? I am a bit confused. My estimated block generation time always changes with every new block...
You need only 1 NXT to forge and it becomes active to forge after being unlocked and online for 24 hours = 1440 minutes. The less NXT you have, the less often you will forge a block. Blocks are forged once a minute and there are 525,600 minutes in a year. With a billion NXT in circulation, if everybody owned an identical 1,000,000,000 / 525,600 = 1900 or so NXT in their account, and they all had their accounts always unlocked for a year to try and forge, they would each eventually be selected to forge one block per year on average. In reality, some accounts obviously have more than 1900 NXT in them, some less, and not everybody has their account unlocked to forge at the same time. Ratio accordingly with reasonable estimates to see where you really stand once the time bouncing settles down. Welcome to the realization that NXT forging is not a quick road to riches like Bitcoin mining is supposed to be.
