I've been reading some of the posts from the original [ANN] thread and I'm hooked. Just a question about the current dev team though. Is it true that the original developer - BCNext, is no longer involved in the project? And Come-from-Beyond is running things now?

Jean Luc is the lead developer. CfB is still heavily involved.

Wesley is the client developer

There are other developers involved on some way (l8orre, CIYAM, jl777, ChuckOne, doctorevil, mczarnek, kushti)

Oh that's good then. I just wish the original dev didn't leave so early. Even Satoshi stayed around for a couple of years.

BCNext delivered a single Java file with the basis of Nxt and notes to the community to Come-from-Beyond. Everything after that was done by the community. Come-from-Beyond said BCNext followed the posts on the megathread, he was watching our discussion.

Nxt has many references to George Orwell's book '1984' within it, a book where Big Brother was always watching. As CIYAM pointed out once, a theme in the book is whether Big Brother really existed at all.

When BCNext 'left', it caused much more of a stir outside of the community than it did within it   I wouldn't worry about BCNext and his legacy, the direction of Nxt is in the hands of everybody who wants to get involved.

If there is something you want to see in Nxt, go to the Tech Fund committee for the cash and get a dev on the jobs board and go for it   Or, as many are doing, launch it on the AE and fund it yourself. Exciting times.



P.s. Do you remember the useful role of Randall Stephens in the Shawshank Redemption? A hard man to find, could be relevant here   The ghost of BCNext could still be walking among us, protected by the distance from his work he now enjoys.
(P.p.s ^ This ^ is speculation on my part )

Satoshi's situation was different. Back then cryptocurrencies was such a niche.
And CfB has been a part of NXT since the beginning, so we still got him

Who's happy he listened and bought next last week?

THIS GUY.. shame it was only 100mbtc worth but still! .

Loved that movie though it's been a while since I watched it. I agree the direction of Nxt is in the hands of everybody now. Nxt has come a long way in 6 months and BCNext should be very proud of his creation.

Just bought 300 NXT today. I'm still kinda getting my head around the whole thing because this is nothing like any other altcoin I've used before. The others being Kittehcoin and Dogecoin. However the more I learn about it the more I think Nxt has a fair shot at reaching #2.

[Daedelus]

Only #2? Then you need to keep reading and learning

+1

We're not aiming to be some secondary bullshit. NXT offers sooooo much more than Bitcoin. I have incredible respect for Bitcoin's pioneer status and everything the Bitcoin community has done and continue to do for cryptos, but innovation and usability is king.

Anyone could sum up to me the recent prise rise's reasons? Something new happened recently?

Just a perfect storm brewing. And it was a first gush of wind, nothing particularly interesting, same old, like any perfect storm

Perfect storm is actually a pretty good way of putting it.
I don't know details but I think it could be summarised something like "Step change in awareness, usability and availability very soon, plus the normal crypto speculation pump that happens when any market moves unexpectedly."

At the risk of fanning the flames of speculation...

I was going to post the links but changed my mind, I think that actually would be fanning the flames. If you look around nxtforum, there are some popular announcement threads.

There are 3-4 big announcements coming, the first one next week. No-one knows what they are but they are big and the companies involved need to get their "ducks in a row".

Additionally, the launch of the Digital Goods Store, Alias Trading confirmed for the next release and possibly Monetary System and a cool new skin.

Whether they are big enough to justify the rise, who knows
