Expanded Usability
Bitcoin is just a coin, as are its clones. NXT uses completely new Java code to make a revolutionary new coin very different from Bitcoin, AND a wide variety of exciting new financial services as well.

Network Simplicity
The Bitcoin network requires competitive Proof-of Work (PoW) GHash/sec mining using expensive, power-hungry custom ASIC nodes. The NXT network uses cooperative Proof-of-Stake (PoS) transparent forging, immune to 51% attacks, running on $35, 4W commodity Raspberry Pi nodes.
CODERS WELCOMED!
Transaction Rapidity
Bitcoin uses 10+ minutes/block for a max throughput of 7 transactions per sec (TPS) using a 16GB (and growing) blockchain. NXT currently takes 1 minute per block at 4.5 TPS, with improvements coming in block timing speedup and routine chain pruning to support eventual instant
transactions with guaranteed confirmation at 1000 TPS.
New To NXT?
True Anonymity
Bitcoin transactions between wallets are recorded forever on its blockchain. NXT is adding code to achieve true transaction anonymity by implementing both mixing and the no-trustneeded zerocoin / zerocash protocol developed at John Hopkins University.

NXT Is Green
Ecological? Financial? BOTH !!!
Bitcoin depends utterly on a small mining node network fighting for their cut of 3600 newly minted Bitcoins per day. The only thing keeping Bitcoin from freezing up (at $500-$1000 BTC price) is $1.8M-$3.6M of daily inflation ($0.6-$1.2 BILLION per year!) that pays for its ongoing required 25 million (and rising!) GHash/s of wasted computing. A typical miner pickaxe is a Butterfly Lab Monarch costing $2000 and using 350W of power to produce 600 GHash/sec. Using these numbers, the current Bitcoin mining network has sunk unit infrastructure costs of at least $83 million and (at $0.10/KwH) ongoing electricity costs of at least $35,000 per day. Bitcoin gear and power costs are rising ever faster. Exponential growth of Bitcoins hashrate (see blockchain.info/charts/hashrate) means mining rigs and energy use are destined to skyrocket out of control. Bitcoin (and clones like Doge) by their very nature are wasteful and ultimately destined to fail. NXT solves this problem sustainably. By using PoS cooperative transparent forging, not PoW competitive gigahash mining, NXT has no exponential forcing function at its core that drives its costs and energy consumption ever higher. A NXT blockchain support network of 1000 Odroid U3 nodes has a one-time unit infrastructure cost of only $60 thousand and uses only $48 per day in electricity. Forever.
90 DAYS OF NXT/BTC RISING STRENGTH UNDER 0.1 mBTC Key ongoing events: full open source code April 4; continuing new feature announcements; listing of NXT on Cryptsy and BTC38; and growing Chinese acceptance of NXT as cheap and non-inflationary. As a 100% Proof of Stake (PoS) coin, NXT doesnt mine (create) inflationary new coins daily like BTC it only forges (recycles) existing ones. PoS allows cooperative selection of NXT node operators (forgers, in the blacksmith sense of the term) to generate new blocks in proportion to the total NXT coins (or stake) they already own. They use cheap CPU computers to receive transaction fees embedded in blocks they create and add to the NXT blockchain. This method yields a small return on current holdings like savings account interest but enables a huge potential transaction time speedup. NXT is a new, stable financial service ecosystem based on non - inflationary coins and cooperating, cheap, speedy nodes. Watch out, BTC. NXT is here!
