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.
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-trust-needed
zerocoin / zerocash protocol developed at Johns
Hopkins University.
Active Community
5000+ NXTers from 50+ countries are united in a
friendly online community. We don't just talk, we
act. We're growing fast. Please, come join us!

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 Bitcoin's hashrate (see
blockchain.info/charts/hashrate) means mining rigs
and energy use are destined to skyrocket out of
control. Bitcoin and clones like Doge are by their
very nature 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.
