I am wondering if there is a faucet for the new cc nxt. It looks like you must have needed to be in before the launch to get coins. You must have coins to be able to mine. Also, it looks like there are only a few large accounts that are getting all of the coins. Seems like it was not widely distributed from the start.
You can purchase Nxt via the
order book or there is a new Nxt / Btc exchange
DGEX.com. You can still get quite a bit of Nxt for not much btc.
