More on Ripple vs. Nxt
When people here tell me to STFU about comparing Ripple's features to Nxt's it reminds me of a theoretical Burger King R&D Manager testing new product but shouting at their staff to stop comparing the new french fry recipe to McDonalds fries, and stop bringing up how McDonald's fries don't don't turn your teeth green and don't cost $5 more per order to manufacture.
If you don't want people to compare them, then come up with new ideas that haven't already been done by Ripple already, or at least do those things better. I am seeing neither thing happen.
Ripple isn't for everyone, Nxt isn't for everyone. As I stated in my previous post (which you didn't quote for some reason  ) Ripple is very centralized and at the mercy of their VC's and US Government regulation. They are a corporation. To me they don't have much crypto credibility, and I do know several people that work for Ripple Labs. These guys are not passionate about Ripple, it's just a paycheck. I personally am thankful we have Nxt as an alternative to Ripple, BTC, or whatever. I think most people are annoyed by your Ripple posts, which are repetitive and don't really offer much. Ripple is much more mature than Nxt, so it's like Apples and Oranges at this point. I'm trying to look at the big picture and in that picture I don't see most people giving one hang about which platform is more centralized or whatever. They will go with whichever one works better. Since personally I do understand that NXT is more decentralized and that is something I desire, I want to see NXT become Google and for Ripple to become Web Crawler. I however believe that NXT will succeed at this based on Nxt having better features (or at the very least not having inferior features, as I feel Nxt does in many areas) rather than which one has more "street cred" Whatever, I'm bored with this. I really don't know why I bother. |

I like how damelon once said he even gets good ideas from Emule sometimes. That shows a lot of maturity to me and is one of the things that keeps me on board so far. I am also very impressed with your contributions and you can take some credit for my not panic selling the last day or so as I've come to realize many potential issues that I feel like only i can see. I'm at least waiting to April to see what that cold bright day has to offer.
Bolded for emphasis. I'll try to word this carefully, because I'm an asshole with a keyboard like everyone else The bolded part above is what drives me nuts here. This notion that we're the only one with situational awareness and that virtually everyone else has been hit with this normalcy bias tranq gun. I don't mean you specifically Brian, but this alarmism, the hysteria... the HOLY LIVING FUCK NXT IS ON **FIRE**, YOU FOOLS DON'T SEE IT DO YOU??? It smacks of hubris. If people aren't complaining it's just as likely it's because they're working on a Nxt-related project. I think some of the complainers out there aren't hearing the countless skypes and IRCs and trello board collaborations going on behind the scenes. Most people here are smart and aware of potential issues (agreeing on solutions is another matter). |

Cool! It would be great to have a QR code on the voucher and to be able to use it from a mobile device. Just to show how great Nxt works even on a smartphone (needs some fixes for the webwallet of wesleyh) |

+1, I like to see "Here is what Ripple can do, and here is how Nxt can do it better" instead of "Ripple does this better" Let's move on. If I wanted to hear about Ripple, I'll go walk over to their office. |

Just to show how great Nxt works even on a smartphone (needs some fixes for the webwallet of wesleyh) Thanks for the reply, i know its long winded but its in there New codes will be entered individually to a “paper voucher” template containing current bullet points on NXT features, a link to the redemption URL, including QR code and the individual redemption code and expiration date. |

There are around 4M NXT in buy orders on BTER . Smart money buying in. I took next week off incase anyone needs an extra programmer, if every project is fully-manned (which seems to be the case) I will continue working on a personal project for NXT. I don't want to say anything yet but I think it could bring millions of people into NXT. |

Harmonogram of adding new features or transparent thread for new even small but regular updates should be required. We are serious people here. We want all NXTers to be well informed about NXT's development progress right? One thing i get to know about NXT is that there's never a need to panic about it and that it is worth to be treated seriously. But being serious about it is also keeping eye on progress and objective valuating it all the time (also against competition progress). Just take NXT serious. Ball is round, to high price always go down and to low always go up eventually. I panicked first 2 times, now it is irrelevant to me Just regret i didn't sell some at the peak to buy now. P.S. Argument about better distribution at low price is very good, because it's more affordable but up trend is also good for distribution while long down trend is bad too. If you don't have good advertisement price going up is the best of all... Just pure physics of altcoinmarket. That's why important are not only these who buy and hold but also these faithfull longterm speculators who sell at peaks and buy up at lows, never leaving coin. |

Nope, think bigger, it's something that everyone uses (and is forced to use by some extent), but doesn't really like using due to one factor. NXT removes the factor. |

Sorry?
Sports betting without the juice (fees). For example, I bid Michigan (-500) vs Wofford @ 100 nxt, and if somebody takes my offer, the payout is automated based on result of the game. If I win, counterparty pays me 20 nxt. If I lose, I pay 100 nxt to them. Would need to automatically pull results from some website like ESPN, and there are other complications. |

And people (trolls) keep saying nothing is developed here at Nxt headquarters. They are so wrong! There isn't an altcoin with such a great dev team. Great work guys, I can't wait to get started printing!  |
