Criteria For Becoming A NTX "Founder"

[rickyjames]

Hi all -

I'm a little late to the party here and missed out on funding the NXT genesis block, which I would have certainly contributed BTC to had I been aware of your efforts at the time. 

However, I have been doing a crash course in getting up to speed on NXT and I am extremely impressed with all your efforts.  So much so that I went to dgex.com yesterday and dealt myself in as a XM+ stakeholder of NXT.  I will be happy to back that claim up with the account number I used to withdraw my new holdings from dgex if anybody wants that info.  My handwritten password is going straight into cold storage in my bank safe deposit box.  I think this coin has a fantastically bright future and I am into NXT for the long term.

My question is, could this purchase of this magnitude qualify me for founder status, or some sort of junior founder status, or something like voting rights that would allow me to get involved with having some input into how my new investment is nurtured?   

I don't know if this is something you have considered yet in your brief history, but if you all have some criteria where a person can achieve founder status by pulling themselves up by their own bootstraps, I'd like to hear about that and see if I qualify.

If not, then you have my respect for your accomplishments so far and my best wishes for a successful enterprise.  You obviously have good skills;  I wish you good luck.

Man you are the reason that the price has gone up so much.

Anyone with at least 1 NXT is a stakeholder.

Ah, yes, you are right.  I see now that I should be saying "founder" instead of "stakeholder" in my title and post above.  My apologies for the confusion.  My basic question stands.

To be a founder u must own one of the 73 accounts from the genesis block.

As far as I understand BCnext is the mysterious inventor or NXT, Code-from-beyond is currently lead developers and some others such as nextern are important developers for Nxt system. Many others currently contribute to Nxt in different ways.

Here is the doc documenet of Nxt team

You can put your name in and do what you can to develop Nxt community. One of the most important thing that anyone can do is to increase Nxt awareness and adoption. Then you can call yourself a co-founder and also  a stakeholder of NXT too.

No one knows who and how many are owners of these 73 accounts. They are not really founders of NXt in a common start-up sense. Would be more apt to call these 73 accounts initial contributors.

Also to say many of these 73 are doing nothing now to move nxt forward

I am not among those 73 fore-fathers, but just out of curiosity, is is possible to contact the inactive ones and ask about their intentions?
Maybe some of them have forgotten their passphrase already, considering that some came up with just fractions of a BTC.

I am curious about that too.
