Guys my friend wants to invest 1 solitary BTC  in an upcoming coin. I have read and researched all the upcoming coins so far and to me the most promising two seem to be NEM or NUMUS . I thought Spark was good until the escrow screwup  :( so I will have to decide among these two.

NEM : Seems to have a lot of buzz around it, 1 million per stake  :D , big friendly community and a very good promoter and dev team .

Numus : New entry but seems very professional, has mining and already seems  to have a very good idea about its future plan of action, also number of coins is less than NEM.

Which one is the better option and why?

we are waiting for nemo or neso

Numus easily.

1) They have a whitepaper
2) Excellent marketing and design team. (I heard about Numus through a tech site called overclock.net (http://"http://overclock.net") so their marketing must be doing something right)
3) They have a practical and logical approach to gaining public adoption. (See their whitepaper)

As GoatGuy stated above, Numus is the better choice. The reason I invested in them is because they see the bigger picture.

This is what I posted in the NEM thread (I sourced the Numus whitepaper for this) : "The key for most if not all coins currently is marketing. Face it, no real coin besides primarily Dogecoin and Bitcoin has really gained any public adoption of some sort. The first coin which secures a foothold outside of the crypto community will be most likely to succeed in the long-term. This is what I think NEM and Numus should work towards.

And it seems like others agree with my view :

No, please don't do it again

It's been the third comparison thread between two cryto's in the past day, but hey it's good for discussion.

What is numus?

Thanks man

Nothing special

Whitepaper bud, you forgot to read their whitepaper : http://numus.org/whitepaper.pdf

I am 100% both of those GREAT :)
But I would choose NEM.

I also prefer to registered myself at NEM

The only real difference I see about NEM is their web-based client which seems to be built on top of a Bootstrap theme. I don't know too much about NEM, but what else do you think makes NEM different to say NXT?

IMO NEM but you have to decide by yourself  ;D

Numus or cunilingus?

Do you even pink sock?vBut on a serious note I think Numus means currency in some language.

EDIT : Numus means currency in Latin

I'm serious i will invest it !

Join the club  :)

Would be better to buy NEM than NUMUS when I'm looking in the Discussion Thread of NEM. So many posts with ideas, updates etc.
Things there going well.

In all fairness NEM was announced a while ago, around 4 months if I'm not mistaken and it's community is much larger than Numus', but Numus was only announced a week ago. If I had to pick two of the most promising alt-coins for 2014 though these would be my 2 picks.

Nem but I am biased  :) and I dont know anything about Numus.

NEM for sure.

Is numus a clone?

nem....

I just read over the entire thread and whitepaper of Numus. They for one are very different. There is really no comparison. NEM is clearly more advanced and serious. Numus touches on a problem that all cryptos have in marketing. But offer no details of a solution. Also, early investors spilt 2.5% of the coins. Much different than NEM because they have participants, not investors. They also will receive 1 million NEM at launch. Numus is also a clone that will have none of the proposed features at launch. Mining, lotto? The list goes on why these two should not even be compared in the same thread. They are in different worlds. Also, fees will be destroyed in Numus. I am no economist, but this brings up some concerns.

Finally, there is already discussion on the Numus thread of some dishonest behavior by the devs. By all means they could be great guys and this could just be trolls.They are offering escrow, but the rate is rather high.

If a comparison is to be done, NEM should be compared to Ethereum. This is an idea that is much more in the same ballpark with NEM.

NEM, numus is just another alt

Ok, I mentioned that it might be a scam. I guess I said dishonest. Give us the rundown by all means lol

For one labeling Nxt a SCAM does not help your cause. Maybe you don't like some things about Nxt, but it is not a Scam.

If Numus is a scam by all means tell us why. And while you're at it, tell us what you think if NEM too. If you got the time, it will probably be as long as my posts, which I'm catching shit for. I'm realizing I got to be mire quick and to the point around here lol ;D

Anyway, I read the thread, and I didn't get the feeling I was presented "proof". Maybe that's my fault. Maybe I should have slowed down. Tell me the reason. All I got was he was using a sockpuppet to promote the coin. Dishonest yes, was there more? What did I miss?

Good looking out btw

NEM or NUMUS ... mmmh... let me think for a nano-second

100% NEM

NEM

I have seen the thread of NUMUS and it seems to me not that kind of coin I' like to invest or buy.

NxT does fit some characteristics of a scam - a flawed distribution and then BCNext, the original developer, who fled out of nowhere and reportedly sold all his stake and no longer contributes.  At least Satoshi kept his coins.   ;D


Back on the original topic on hand.  The scam accusations about Numus aside, Numus is another mining coin and it's not 2009 - the mining coins are seen as environmentally irresponsible (Satoshi likely never predicted the use of GPUs, Asics and Pools) and they're all being killed at the moment by professional miners.  Another mining coin is reason alone, even if Numus was legit, to stay away from Numus.

Its is rather obvious:

0 to 0.08 BTC for an equal stake in NEM, which appears to have active development, and a community already VS a 0.1 BTC 'minimum investment' into a 2.5% Numus pre-mine which might not even exist.

I'd save the 0.1 BTC for NEM, Numus is not worth the gamble in my humble and biased opinion.

NEM since Numus coin is a scam by Shimal using the names Duff_man, as well as Numus
Ok, lets see how hard this is to figure out. Here is some old dns information.
http://who.is/dns/numus.org
http://domainnewly.net/www/numus.org
Notice the name Shimal Harichurn and email shimal.harichurn.gmail.com
That email is the same email address used by duff_man on his bitcointa.lk profile

We see the name Shimal Harichurn used with admin@coinmart.co
Also http://digitalcoin.co/forums/index.php/topic,625.0.html where ShimalH announces him launching coinmart.
wow he made this way too easy.

There's really no comparison. Nemus has issues.
NEMs team is so put together. Not to mention over 1200 unique active stakeholders.

i dont get it how can somebody  compare 1st generation copy paste coin to 2nd generation coin built from scratch?  NEM SHOULD BE COMPARED TO NXT OR ETHEREUM
