Hi, I am interested in Nxt and ready to invest some money in it. But first can you answer this one question for me, what is scarce about Nxt? With Bitcoin, if someone copies and pastes the source code, its not the same because nobody can just copy and paste the mining network. Please explain what prevents somebody from copying and pasting the Nxt source to make Nxt1, Nxt2, Nxt3, Nxt4
. ??
Nothing stops him from copying code (in a couple of months), generating another genesis block and start his business
But what is more difficult to copy:
- brilliant devs
- an awesome community
-...
NXT has the energy of a cruise liner at full speed
(Wow I love marketing)
but wait a second. Devs are cool and all but they generate more source code. What will prevent me from copying the Nxt source code right now and all Nxt developments, including future developments?
Right now, the bitbucket code has three flaws (see
https://bt.irlbtc.com/view/397183.0) and is not up to speed (older version)
The current running code can be decompiled though and yes, copied and released as NXT2
but copying all future codes is A. a lot of work, B. you always lag behind, C. if you are not really up to it you could be played (and copy coin killed), D. there's certainly more reasons
(That's a general topic concerning all open source code)
