The Bitcoin software, network, and concept is called "Bitcoin" with a capitalized "B". Bitcoin currency units are called "bitcoins" with a lowercase "b" -- this is often abbreviated BTC.

NXT may be controlled by one party. There's no real world way to verify either way. It's like Byzantine Generals using anonymous couriers instead of their own recruits (to borrow a metaphor to use as a simile). The couriers may be trustworthy or they may be spies. No military trained General would ever trust such a courier, yet NXT people trust anonymous stakeholders (or their appointees) to not be bad agents. It's downright irresponsible to develop such a system.

Any significantly advanced cryptocurrency is indistinguishable from Ponzi Tulips.

This guy (cbeast) is obviously butthurt over NXT. I really do think NXT must have unwantedly penetrated him or something because not much else can explain this behavior.

The user cbeast may be Jeff Garzik himself. There's no way to verify either way.
Or maybe... we should compare hashes?

It's funny how so many people claim they are pro-crypto when in fact they are anti-crypto.  Guys like cbeast are just in it for the money, it's obvious, they don't care about the crypto movement and only want to protect their holdings (BTC).  Jeff is even worse, he should be a supporter of all new projects, yet he does his best to try and discredit anything that isn't BTC related.  It's no wonder BTC is down so much.  People are working against each other rather then with each other.

You post FUD as a defense to comments made by others?  That seems counter intuitive.  And Yes, you are against Nxt, it's obvious you have never used the client nor do you understand how it works, you are just regurgitating false information, which makes you look like the fool.

I am not against the design of nxt. I think it should be cloned even more than bitcoin.

Altcoins are experimental chains (even more experimental than Bitcoin is) and should not be "marketed".
Marketing is dead or should be killed.

You sound like a government trying to regulate everything.
You have no right to decide how people use their money.
This goes against the idea of Bitcoin itself.

Long live free market.

I am not trying to regulate, just shouting fraud when I see fraud.
If you don't, you are fraud.
Altcoins are not a fraud if they are started as another experiment.
Altcoins become a fraud the day their founders start "marketing" them, making false promises of decentralization, performance or "fairness".
Bitcoin does not need fixing because it ain't broken.

All things can be improved. Even better: we should try to break things! Adopt, adapt and improve.

 Roll Eyes Okay.  So what are you against?  That's like saying, "I'm not against the design of Bitcoin, but I'm against Gox hacks, I'm against Satoshi mining solo for a year, I'm against the way mining has become corporate etc... so I think Bitcoin is a scam coin"  The lists of reasons Jeff thinks Nxt is a scam are all superficial and have nothing to do with the core technology.  Regardless, you tear down rather than build up, be constructive, do something good for crypto.

Dude, I never said I hated nxt. I just don't agree with some of the claims about it. It is simply not provably decentralized. You can say the same thing about Bitcoin if you want. I don't care. This is getting to be a religious argument. Nxt proponents that claim it is decentralized are making unfalsifiable claims. There is plenty of room for centralized coins that don't use any electricity.

when you make claims it is centralized you are making unfalsifiable claims.

you cant have one with out the other. prove one is correct and from that you can prove the other to be false. find proof before posting again and STOP SPREADING FUD. im not arguing now which is one is a true statement ie nxt is centralised or not, im just pointing out that you are an idiot if you think you can say one is fact and the other is unfalsifiable. and dont say that you have not stated, as if it were fact, that nxt is centralised because you have many times. your an outright hypocrite with motivations that cause you to post such bullsh*t.

The original claimant has the responsibility to offer falsification. Popper may not be dead, but this is a basic axiom of science. NXT users claim that it cannot become permanently centralized. They offer no test to verify if it is decentralized. They just say so.

Isn't the original claimant here Jeff Garzik? He posted accusations, he has the responsibility to prove. So far there's been no proof whatsoever. And you guys attacking NXT are just piggybacking on Jeff's accusations, possessing no proof either.
