i am also in all three projects (msc,xcp,nxt), what makes xcp or msc "easier" or let us say more useful, is that it is on top of btc. so people can send btc directly into the protocol, without first changing it on an exchange. second point is that the btc blockchain is proven for a few years... . for example xcp has engaged sergio lerner and peter todd for auditing, both are well known heads in the bitcoin community. nxt is trying hard to get their code audited by a third person.
anyway nxt is very promising in the longterm, but the useability is limited regarding adaption - what it needs is time
NXT failed at 1NXT fee system...
Where is point to use currency with such high fee...
Most gods is around ~20-50$ now fee 0,5$ this is in basis have fail a bit as currency.
If 1 NXT will cost 1000$ who will use it ?
Even with most advance features cost of using NXT outside exchange make it just pointless as currency...
In same time Bitcoin can cost 10000$ and you can pay 0,1$ fee or less for transfer...
But if we change NXT fee to 0,01 NXT that will probably hurt only that small players.
And today when projects with high lvl of development will arrive soon like NEM,Emunie,Exo,Entherum...
I don't say NXT is bad but that 1NXT fee is killing my interest.
Wait 2-3 weeks. The fee will be changed to 0.1 NXT approx. by then, and can be even smaller later on.
Why would small fees only hurt the small players?
A whale hardly looses anything if he transfers his 1M for 1 NXT, but it hurts a small player to send 10 NXT for the same fee.
