People keep asking me about how to clone Nxt. While I support clones as a way to make the world better, I can't reveal all details regarding traps inside Nxt code. Anyway, my conscience lets me to give such hints:

1. The traps r still included into current NRS version (0.5.10), Jean-Luc doesn't know what these traps r, so he is unable to give u more info.
2. We r 100% safe coz Nxt blockchain can't be attacked by someone exploiting these traps.
3. BCNext or me won't attack clones by using the traps, but someone else could do it, I already detected an attempt to attack Nxt such the way.
4. A 100% safe way to clone Nxt is to fork the blockchain starting from current block.
5. A 99% safe way to clone Nxt with another genesis blocks is to rewrite code related to crypto completely.
6. Another way to safely clone Nxt code is to find the traps and disable them, analysis of the genesis block could help u a little.

How would 4 work?  That would not really be a clone would it?  Wouldnt that really be an attack and takeover?

Can several of those "clones" be merged again in the future?

U take ur account and declare it as a new genesis account, all previous accounts declared as illegal accounts and can't be used. U distribute coins from ur account to new "founders" and u all start playing with "reduced" coin supply.

So an original stakeholder with 49million nxt at genesis would be ideal to dothis?  And that genesis would not be at risk of the traps you spoke about?  And couldjust usethat genesis block in any future client releasefrom JlP?

it would be cool, if BCNext wrote an article addressing the main points of this article.
I set up a bounty on this:
I will give chess lectures to BCNext for free for a whole year (unless he is a stronger player than myself).
BTW: does BCNext know Boris Gelfand (which is my favorite player)?
 

Im in atlanta today.  Do i just need to jump on a plane?  Cfb, and otherexperts here, would i add value if i go?
