Even NXT is a great coin it will still fail just because of its extremely unfair distribution. The developer should blame himself to use this terrible distribution process. For pure POS coin, fair distribution plays a big part in these coins success.
why? distribution by a small group of miners right now more and more centalized in Iceland facilities and huge GPU / ASIC farms is unfair
All depend when and in what conditions you are trying distribute.
Current the best option is POW and IPO like NEM...
Even Gpu farms they are doing that for $...
Generaly farms destroy value of coins in same time they detroy value of work of devs working on it.
In other side they just pust large volume on market and flood it and others can get in.
Hoever even POW like 10day-BC or 30day0 Mint can give you 3000+ new POS users...
NEM IPO mayby less because double,triple.. ipo buyers.
Anyway probably about 2000+ usesers...
That reminds me quark it was mined in 98%... in six months but after mining price was 300-50 sat...
When jumped to 10000 all called it scam... and premine but in reality it wasn't 75% of all coins in 5 months...
Nowdays people are changing minds about long minig... New fast mined coins are acceptable look just on Doge...
But all are put shit on Quark lol while Doge(i like it ) is pretty the same in that matter.
