I guess some are interested in making a killing, others are also interested in a legit/open/transparent/efficient currency system that is superior or at least adds competition to our current currency system today. Despite its innovation (which is yet to be seen/proven) if the coins remain undistributed and at a 500-600,000% price premium to original $4,000 invested, then we will see lots of panic. Can't wait for that. Getting the popcorn ready.

Agree on that. It's very complex system of value as I can recall.

Some people are destined to sit on the sidelines of life and tell you why things shouldn't work.

*yawn*

Someone at some point post a cron job to restart the Java process, does anyone know where that went. I for the life of me, can't find it.

What idea are you talking about? 100% proof of stake? Peercoin will be 99-100% proof of stake too down the road, it's just they wanted to have a better distribution system. And Peercoin is open source and proven technology. Really, 6kx the price?

Colored coins? Distributed Exchange? These things haven't even been developed yet, or let alone will they work in practice. If they worked right out of the box, and it was open source, then I could see paying 6kx the value.

And for your information, I'm not sitting on the sidelines, I have a little invested, and would want to invest more, but at this point it's pure speculation.

My nxt faucet now gives out between 1 and 3 coins freely (the amount is determined at random) - the increase is due to several donations received. Thank you to those people!

Same here! I offered earlier!

10 NXT sent, went through very quickly.  As did similar 10 NXT donations from me to three people over on the Raspberry Pi forum who are running nodes now.

you can use this script:

I have problem with nxt client. Everytime I tried to run it I get this error.
