What's your definition of "source code". A Hello World app? Maybe. I'm talking about a fully fledged DECENTRALIZED currency implementation. Is Nxt decentralized?

Yes, it's decentralized. If I were u I would enjoy the Holidays. In a week u'll see the source code.

Just for the record, actual genesis block NXT distribution was far from a 13.7 million coin average per founder.  It was very skewed.  The top block of 17% of all coins (170M) were unclaimed and later redistributed per http://nxtgenesisblock.appspot.com/ .  Apparently only eight paid the maximum 1 BTC during the initial NXT buy-in period.  They hold almost half (40%) of all NXT - that's right at 400M.  

And yes, I understand everybody had their chance to kick in 1 BTC during the announced initial buy-in period, and didn't, and so missed the boat.  NXT did indeed have a more fair distribution system than most altcoins.  That doesn't mean the situation today is ideal - far from it.

IMHO, distribution of this coin to create a functional economy with true, smooth cash flow is the number one challenge this coin faces, far bigger than any zombie attack.  

Distribution of this coin into the "economy" solely via sales at an exchange is going to be a very bumpy ride.   NXT prices are moving at hyper warp speed, currently way too fast for its own good.  Unless there is some serious dumping by top-tier genesis block founders to keep prices down, the amount in wide circulation is going to get choked off at a  very small percentage of the total because it's just to expensive to buy.   I'm no economist, and I'd love to hear from somebody who is, but I read a lot of zerohedge.com and the NXT currency distribution situation is truly scary to me.

But it's gonna be interesting to watch, that's for sure.

These were unclaimed coins. 90% r claimed already and were sent to their legit owners. More info - http://nxtgenesisblock.appspot.com/

This is related to web interface code. It will be removed completely after we get better clients.

so market is really only 830,000,000 Nxt at the moment....give or take the few that were destroyed.

There's no such thing as pre-mine in only-PoS-system. All coins in system creates manually with a line of code. Well, some dev can pre-sell 100% and say that he only later buy some for himself at exhcange(s) (transparent, if all other first-time stakeholders revealed, ofc), but it'll be much more suspicious (at least, for me).

That's possible. Don't use suspicious exchanges.

we really need to protect  nextcoin.org ...if it keeps getting shut down we won't be able to disseminate information and this will slow Nxt down.
