I know I'm self-promoting here, but
NFD is a sleeper that - unlike the typical Nxt-clone or Nxt-like crypto - has not suffered a major bear market after being listed on a major exchange.
https://bter.com/trade/nfd_btcGranted that its current market cap is merely equal to the price of a luxury car, and it is nestled in the
101-200 page at Coinmarketcap. I will concede that at the moment its 2-3 satoshi price is understandable because it is in fact a plain Nxt clone.
[If you don't mind a digression, I'm a little puzzled at the Nxt core team's open aversion to clones when the free market has adequately demonstrated, through several Nxt clones and quasi-clones extant, that the typical Nxt clone fades into Coinmarketcap's gallery of also-rans. As threats to Nxt, clones and quasi-clones might as well be wee little mice for all the market cap they can muster. The only exception, market-cap wise, is
Qora* and its current market cap is ~1900 Bitcoins. Nxt's is ~63,000 BTC, and it's usually the volume leader
at Bter. I really can't figure out why the some of the core guardians of Nxt are a lot like elephants when they see a mousy clone...]
To get back to NFD, I've gone out of my way to go slow promotion-wise because I'm hoping to keep NFD a sleeper in the short term. To be frank, I don't want a bunch of butthurt punters suffering losses because they excitedly bought in at the top of a premature pump. Granted that this policy of mine does make NFD pretty blah, but it does cohere with the tech team's policy of going slowly, carefully and meticulously. Granted that
NFD is a wallflower coin, but it's one that will go the distance.
So there you go. Admittedly, NFD is a plain Nxt clone with only a bare-bones ecosystem at the moment. This early-stage sparsity does go a long way in explaining its current low price. But the entire dev team, including li'l ol' me
, are the opposite of the hasty and frenetic kind of devs that make an alt a pump-and-bag flash in the pan.
Feel free to check out the public to-do list on NFD's Trello board:
https://trello.com/b/kK7UMifS/nfdcoin . It'll give you a good idea of where we want NFD to go.
*: I don't count NEM as a Nxt clone or quasi-clone because it's being coded from scratch and will come out of the gate with at least one entirely new feature (Proof of Importance) that no-one in the Nxt community even thought of.
