Nxt is getting distributed, big stakeholders are selling. That is a GOOD thing!

strange, but at this time feeling much better this level.

orphans?

i am having serious problems with the alias system

I get transaction
{"transaction":"1.........6"}

back but the alias never show up?

Disregarding price (which will up go and down anyways), the volume we have been seeing lately is looking very healthy. Also, if the huge increase in # of transactions from the alias system is any indicator, as more and more features are added, the nxt network will be very busy!

Additionally, the number of 2nd gen coins in the top 10 are taking over. This could signify a paradigm shift away from copycoins to actual useful coins competing directly against bitcoin. 2014 is going to be very exciting

It is working for me...
What is your account number?

At the moment we are not reaching 1440 blocks every day though. The average seems to be around 800, so it will take more than 24 hours to get to 1440.

Mine has been slower than expected, too, but it's getting there.
As to faith: over the past few days I've seen the people here working very hard and successfully to get things working.

So yes

I think everyone with a couple of brain cells agrees that NXT technology is better than BTC (and any other coin for that matter) and that there won't be any valid point to keep using BTC once the NXT source code is released.
the only issue is assuring mass adoption.
for example LTC , although now being a pointless coin from a technical point of view (NXT, XPM, DTC ans some others are all much faster ), still carries on thanks to mass adoption as everyone who had a semi-decent computer and graphic card in the past year owns some of it by now.
the mass adoption issue though is easily resolvable if the original investors and current big players devolve at least 5% of their investment to the faucet. that would mean possibly 5 million new users holding at least 1 coin. that would actually make it more democratic and a fair coin than BTC or LTC....as anyone who is even remotely interested in crypto would get 1 NXT for free guaranteed and without even mining. people who want a bigger stake can then buy them, mine , do bounties etc . in other words a free market. would be fair&square.
so getting the faucet to work properly and in timely fashion is essential and the faucet link should be right below installation instructions as that 1 NXT coin is their access coin into the system.
btw the original investors are not at all as tight as I thought....I reeceived a more than generous donation to now get me started and although I'm very grateful (thx again!) it is better to give many people 1 coin rather than just throw at some random guy 100 coins (who he  might be tempted to just sell for a quick profit) .
 I know manually sending to many people 1 coin is a pain and time consuming.....that's why I think the main wealth redistribution  should be the faucet.  while the faucet is still having issues try giving out that 1 coin to all newbies who are trying to get in .
if by official launch (when the source code gets released) over 1 million ppl will be holding at least 1 key (all the bitcointalk community pretty much)...it will be unstoppable imo.

thats 1 block per minute target.  a block can contain lots of transactions.  thats why it was such a cool score when I won the lottery for block 22000 and temporarily became top miner even though my stake is a very modest 0.2%
