Thanks for letting them know, saves me a job.Does seem a bit difficult to fulfill. Maybe they'll give better terms now 

1. Yep.

2. They mine other coins and buy NXT with it.

3. 1... but you probably won't get a block for ever. With 6000 or more you can lease to a pool. I would say with 100k you might get a block a day. There is a calculator somewhere. But, at this time forging fees will be very very very very small.

Personally I thought the attorney referenced in this article raised several good points.  Chief among them being:

"Purchasers of securities issued on a cryptoledger may find that what they think they possess is in fact nothing of the sort - for example, a "cryptoequity" may purport to represent an ownership interest in a company, but will only be so if it is recognized as such in the jurisdiction of the issuer's incorporation.  Extensive due diligence and legal advice are essential before entering into any such investment. "

The fact is that places like Crypto::Stocks and Havelockinvestments seem to be operating in a semi shady-grey area atm and I suspect as bitcoin grows these types of crypto-ledgers will come under the scrutiny of the SEC and other regulatory bodies in fairly short order.

Sorry, but was what I said wrong? Granted, knowing I probably won't get a block with my small balance, I still leave my node running.

Also, I meant to ask about nodes... is it possible to get nodecoins or rewards if I set up nodes that have very small balance?

I dont know what they are doing??

But I signed up there and I tried to play by login and nothing happens.

Nxt mining pools are just like regular mining pools. They usually are  multi currency pool and mine the most profitable altcoin, then convert the mined coins automatically into Nxt.
Don't use your Nxt password for pools like this. Read their documentation.

What could someone do with an account id? can they be changed?

I installed NRS version 1.1.6 and now the client is running slow, unable to see recent blocks.

Transactions I made yesterday, are no longer viewable. How long are transactions kept? Is there a reason to adjust the deadline?

Transactions are always kept in the blockchain. (There may be some checkpointing every year, but they will still be in there.)

That is a password for that web site. Not your NXT password.
