IT WILL NOT BE POSSIBLE TO REQUEST TOKENS VIA PM. TO MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR EVERYONE TO LOOK AT REQUESTS AND THEREFORE HAVE THE PUBLIC AUDIT THE REQUESTS AS WELL WE WILL HAVE A DEDICATED THREAD FOR REQUESTS. THIS IS ANOTHER MEASSURE AGAINST SCAMS!

WE'LL CREATE THE THREAD WHEN I HAVE DISCUSSED THE DETAILES WITH XTESTER.


Sorry for the confusion but I wasn't around when the decision to issue again was made so I'll have to catch up with the team first.

Hi guys, I tried to register on NEMforum many times,
I created many emails at many providers and I never got activation email...
Even now I did it again to be able to vote and nothing happend. As always.
Dont wanna be negative but it is getting on my nerves.

It's unfortunately a problem we've faced more than once. I'm sure it'll be resolved soon.
Sorry about it.

Anybody reading this, please make sure you have voted on the logo on the NEM forum!!!!!!!! We need a lot more votes than this.

As regards Pat,

Well I remember Utopianfuture pledging to stay the course until we at least hit LTC marketcap.Ok he didnt stay although it was probably impossible to do so. But Pat DID stay and helped to hold things together and he is working hard now. I dont think Lexicon or anyone here wants him to step down so I think we should pick our words carefully when complaining about anything.

who who who.
This is not at all what i wanted.
Plz feel free to state any opinion that you have as clear as you want. Just don't spreat FUD.
No need to put on the kid gloves. I'm a big boy...no need  Grin

I did not mean you were trying to scam.

1687  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: NEM Official Moderated Thread - One Click Install Is Here[Updates & Discussion] on: July 26, 2014, 06:10:42 AM

For one. this says it was discusssed on the last page. and yes technically if was mentioned, but I wouldn't call it discussed by any meaningful sense of the word.

I don't think this is fair the way this is being handled. And I'm about to tell you why.

a. It's not fair because some people were able to receive their token and others are NOT.
This was alwas going to be the case as we only issued 1000 tokens and there are 3000 people on the list. Do the math.

It was said that 1000 would be issued if 100 people asked. It's a LIE that it was a 1000 GUESS. The 1000 came from that fact that the other two 1000 parts were reserved for XCP and Mastercoin.

If 100 people ask for tokens on XCP or Mastercoin, well at least it was PROMISED that tokens would be issued on those platforms as well.
Don't even know what the hell that is supposed to mean.

b. A SCAMMER should only be able to hurt the person they scammed.

They should NOT be given the power to hurt me too!!! This is what you are giving them.

True. Please go on an do tell me how you've been "hurt".

Halting the tokens for a short period of time is fine. BUT IT HAS BEEN WEEKS!!! unless you are writing a damn program to issue these things, there has been plenty of time to figure out a way to give them to a real stakeholder!!!

All that happened is Pat got scammed by the oldest trick on BTT. (Pat I respect you for all the hard work you have put in and I dont' even know if you are paid, but either way you have held everything together, which NEM desparately needed with the UP situation, GREAT JOB, but I highly disagree with you here as you can clearly see)

All that  happened is the scammer made accounts that were close to the real stakeholders account name. That was it!!

This is very, very easy to fix. TRIPLE CHECK the name, and get on with it.

c. It is not fair if one stakeholder thinks that NEM has reached its peak value and can sell his stake and another can not. I'm not necessarily saying that NEM has peaked, but if one person or a group of lets say 408, or 100 or more people that wanted to sell now and wanted to use XCP or Mastercoin to do it, they should be able to because others were allowed to do it.

A WEEK OR TWO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE WHEN IT HAS ALREADY BEEN WEEKS TO FIX SUCH A AMATEUR PROBLEM!!!

Not trying to justify not going to say what it was more than that because....why even bother.


This is a clear example of one of the things that is hurting the value of NEM, it takes A MONTH or more to fix simple things such as this!!!!



Do you mean the way you are acting right now is a clear example of things that are hurting the value of NEM ? I agree.

Quote
We have been having a really hard time with organization. IMO, it has caused NEMs value to HALF easily. The actual product is just too good to only be worth what it is, even at alpha.

Yes it wen't from 30k to 26k NXT. You are right that's clearly half. My got I'm so shocked right now  Roll Eyes If you don't understand how coinmarketcap works then just don't look at it.

Quote
Yes, I know most coins aren't worth shit pre-launch and that is a great thing, but with NEM taking things to another whole level, POW>POS>POI, it should be worth way more, pre-launch or not.


Yeah, someone that can't understand NXT and USD value and doesn't see how that's different is clearly in the position to predict the free market.

Quote
I'm the one pissed you guys are dragging your feet and don't seem to have any urgency to get the token problem solved (ie a week or two), I liked your "tonight or tommorrow".

When we posted that we really thought it was tonight or tomorrow. But get guess what - something came up. The core team did not agree with the way we proposed to go forward and that's why we didn't do it in the end.

Quote
This also should not be a big secret as to why there is a delay.

It's fucking not. We're discussing ways on how to make it better. We've been saying that from fucking day 1.

Quote
Even Gimre, he said himself that 15,000 is where it should be.

Oh all of a sudden the price is too hight ? I thuogh it was to low "prelaunch or not" ?

Quote
The fact you can't see this baffles me. You ARE working hard. But with the lack of direction, hard work can be pointless and wasteful. Working hard at going in circles, what does that accomplish? KOD you are busting your ass distributing the newsletter among other things, so I see the fruits of you labor.

It is good that you are on top of keeping the "old" and "new" members together. But we don't have a logo, branding, or marketing.

With a leader these things would have been handled and we wouldn't be month behind on a marketing campaign. And if you tell me were not months behind, youre just nuts, or have no marketing experience whatsoever. We are behind. We are all over the place, and NEMs value will go down before it goes up IMO. But you blocking me for selling and IT IS NOT FAIR, and you are being secretive about it which is bullshit.

I respect you guys but you are dropping to ball to much to get to the red zone, and we need a touchdown!!!

I thought i was already pretty pissed but when I read this i though i'd crack open any moment.

We have gained more direction latley then we ever had at any given point in time. xtester has done a great job on finally getting marketing on the road. There is so much happening there that we probably wouldn't have been able to pull off without him.

And dropping the ball ? Dropping the fucking ball ?

The dev team is working everyday some of them full time by now to fix issues you report during the alpha. (btw. have you testest yet ? Given any feedback ? Yeah, thx for being so contructive and helpfull) Also they are trying to get NCC ready to be open sourced which will hopefull bring in more developers and speed up bug fixing.
The marketing team is writing up material for press releases contacting people that are established in the scene...marketing stuff Wink. Also there have been newsletters sent out now to all stakeholder via pm. If you didn't get yours pls post here as that must be an issue with the sending process.
Some of us are thinking about how we can make our AE more than just the avg. AE even more than AE + MGW. We are lucky to have rockethead with us now who seems to be a very experienced business fella Smiley
Makoto and bloody are working on making POI faster and advancing it.  

And now tell me - Is any of that more important that you being issued your asset ?
You have put in about 20 USD and are making a fuzz like we were risking you loosing your house.

Now to the last part i want to address.

I have never tried to be the new leader. Noone every said I was the new leader. Some people percieved it that way because I was very active in the thread and answering peoples questions or at least trying as much as I can.
UP going was a big bump in the road but I don't think we lack direction. To me it feels that more things are happening and we are going forward clearer then ever. But I can see how that may no have reached this forum as many things are happening on trello (which is what we are trying to compensate with the newsletter. )

I'm pretty sure UP reads this so if he feels like coming back - we never wanted him to go.

I have been more aggressive lately and I'm sorry about that. The truth is i do have a temper but i could post PMs I received that would get makotos blood pumping that is the smoothest fella i think I've ever met.

If I'm so fucking bad for NEM then I'll simply seize to be active on this forum. If that is what the community wants then by all means. It would save me time and probably extend my life about a decade. And I don't have to be the one issueing assets. I don't want to be the one issueing assets. All I get for it is shit from the likes of lexicon and others trying to scam asseets out of me.

It's days like this where i have to ask myself if our community is really that great or if 2900 of them are socks and unappreciating "investors" that don't give a flying fart about NEM.

cheers

Yes, I was inactive for a while, but what does that matter? I've made the comment which shouldn't have
been removed in the first place. I'm here for NEM.

I made an investment in NEM and don't want a refund, I would like to have my stake as reserved which I've just proven.

I'm very sorry. I don't know why you've been removed but I can't just put you back either.
I'm afraid you'll have to accept the refund.

I would kindly request you to send this over to the one who's in charge. I made an investment, which
means that one of the unfilled stakes is mine. I've seen another thread which told that there were
several stakes which weren't claimed.



Very well i will take this to the board but I can tell you that the decision will not be any different.
Taking you back would create a precedent and everyone that was removed would request to be taken back so for that reason alone there is no way in hell that is going to happen. I will ask all of them to post their opinion here.

No stakes have been claimed yet so there can't be any unclaimed stakes yet. Whatever you have read it was either speculation about the future or utter bullshit.

Like I said I'm sorry but you'll have to acceppt the refund.

Keep in mind guys that the logo decision will also have a huge impact on the branding. Before you vote think of what the branding could look like with the logo of your coice Smiley

Yup, that's why I went for 3. Abstract nem.  Its away from the coin theme and as stated before, different colours could be used for different purposes. I remember it Looking so different to others on coinmarketcap.

fan logo is fine but I voted for the cube. There should be a final round if the most voted logo has less than 50 percent of the votes.

Should there? Why?

The most votes means , from those voting , the most liked.

Why do you always want to manipulate/ change things?


It is a standard voting procedure. It has been used everywhere else. For example: the the most voted logo has 35%, the second voted logo has 30% and the third voted logo has 25% and the rest has 10% percent. Now if you hold a second round between the most voted logo and the second voted logo, it is plausible that the  the second voted logo comes out the winner.

 

I actually have to agree with ARGpentem (which is a rare occurrence Smiley)
I would however make the second vote a little shorter. This voting ends on august 1st which is a friday so we could have the 2nd round - if it's necessary - end on the following sunday Smiley

I don't like the abstract one because it has nothing to with NEM. It doesn't spell NEM and it doesn't convey anything NEM stands for - at least not for me. Merely being different isn't enough Smiley

The images for the concise logo don't make any sense.. I don't think it's working?

yes i let the dev know i think he's working on it

Yes the links seem to be broken. xtester is working on it.
You can see them on the prev pages though.

**NEM requires Java 8**.

Seriously? Soooo.. There is no real intention for this coin to be used by the general public for quite some time to come? I know programmers just love to play with shiny new things but someone should have smacked them upside the head and said a big fat no to that one.

You can install Java 8 just like 7. We provided a link too so what is your problem?
You're the first one to complain so you might not want to talk about the "general public" here.
I'm probably the first one to complain because I'm not part of the crypto community and have spent the last decade marketing shit to the general public.. I spent a decade before that managing programmers and keeping them inline so that the products they created could actually be used by people and not just "techies". The general public has a hard time programming their DVD players.. Of those in the general public that have java 7 installed on their computers they probably only have it cause their kids did it so they could play minecraft. You have to create things that someone who is practically "brain dead" can actually use.

Every single coin out there has these sorts of problem, no thought to actually catering to the general public. They just "hope" that they'll somehow come on board. Everything I read on this forum is all about catering to the community and of course the markets. The first coin that will actually focus on catering to the general public will actually have the chance to "win". I'm not picking on NEM, as I said all the coins suffer from this problem. It would just be nice to see one that actually thinks seriously about it before hand and doesn't put roadblocks in their way.

Have to say I agree. The minute java update pops up my mom closes it and tells me whatever she is trying to run is broken and I need to remote in and fix it. The average computer probably has java 1.6 and possibly 1.7. You can say "hey we provided a link" all you want, and that is a valid response, but the average joe ain't gonna navigate that. If they click it, and firefox asks "what do you want to do with this?", and they say "open" and it doesn't involve a couple clicks before the interface is in front of them, they'll roll over, and that's a fact. I do a lot of pc repair and builds for my community and I promise you the average person can't handle installing a new jdk, as ridiculous as it sounds to you and I. If you want to keep it a geek only cost of entry totally fine, just accept that is what you have done.

Also, what features in the 1.8 JDK are we using that we actually need? Are we coding to the new API or are we just saying "for some reason it seems like it only runs on 1.8 because we get a stack trace and we don't investigate it"? I'll accept that as a valid response if there is some UI based objects that really make our lives easier in 1.8. When I compared 1.6 to 1.7 for our dev shop there was like one deal breaker feature we needed (granted our code was business objects and not UI heavy).

Like I said it's not just going to be a link forever. As soon as Sun/Oracle get's their shit together you are directed to the download page.
The average joe will be important but think about the timframe here. Do you reall think your mum will be the target group for the first couple of months ? People that aren't tech savvy enough to install a simple programm won't use NEM in it's earlier stages anyway. When we hit stores, merchants, banks and NEM reaches actual utility THEN it will be very important to have an even easier client and a mobile wallet. Remeber this is only the first stage so don't be so quick to judge. At some point we may provide an online portal like PayPal - the sky is the limit if we  and stick together as a community and work on this project together.

You'd have to ask the core devs why they chose Java 8 but I can tell you that it's not "for some reason it seems like it only runs on 1.8 because we get a stack trace and we don't investigate it". After everything you've seen is that really the kind of thing you expect from our core devs ? Are you kidding me ?

It's been 6 months and we still don't have our NEM. 4 pages of NEM threads, who even knows what is the primary thread anymore?

C'mon guys finish this thing already!  Huh

get a refund and join some clone community if you want everything fast.


I guess I insulted you. Oh well!  Roll Eyes

I quit mining/trading any altcoins anymore it's all a bunch of shit and scams. NEM was the last Alt I even really even had any hope for....

Guess I will just have to wait for my stake.

I could care less anymore! Back to the king! Bitcoin!



I was curious to see when some peoples patience was going to wear thin on this coin. We shall see how things unfold.

I waited 6 mos to say anything.. Then the new fearless leader get's snippy with me the first time I say anything, Eat a snickers bar dude.
Guess I shouldn't be surprised!  Roll Eyes



I'm not the new leader. And yes I might have overreacted but you're not the first to ask. People started asking months ago.

We have actually given this a lot of thought.

The only reason we provide a downloadlink link right now is because Java 8 isn't handled properly by Sun yet so our one-click installer refers to the wrong download page when it detects that java is missing or outdated. As soon as that is out of the way the people will be directed directly to the correct download page and will only have to install java which is a double-click. Anyone not capable of doing that won't use such a client anyway.
For those people we will provide a mobile client for which we are currently searching a developer.

We try to have the average joe in mind as much as possible.

1699  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: NEM - New Economy Movement - NEMstake Tokens Listed on NXT Asset Exchange on: July 23, 2014, 08:06:55 AM
I admit I didn't see it was restricted to 1000 tokens to begin with, my apologies. I do find the small number of tokens a bit strange given the size of NEM's user-base though.

I have a few questions.

Why has issuance been suspended?
How many tokens have been issued?
How many were issued to the dev/marketing team?
You have said there is no ETA for token issuance to be resumed, but perhaps the community can receive a best guess?


No need to apologize.

1000 is a third of all stakes. We didn't anticipate a demand higher than that and so far it seems we were right. 408 tokens are still there to be transfered to stakeholders which means 592 have been transfered to stakeholders.
Issueance is being halted because of multiple fraud attempts (some successful as outlined in the newsletter and a dedicated thread) and we needed to come up with a more secure way to issue tokens.
0 tokens were issued to dev or marketing team. Since the marketing team has grown a lot lately I can't be 100% sure about that. Maybe a few of them did request tokens.
We are close to resuming (discussed on the last page) but are still ironing out the details. My personal guesstimate is next week or the week after that.

What happened to NEM being the fair and equal coin?

Some can request Nemstake tokens and others can't?

Where is the fairness in that?

which part of temporarily thew you off ?
Also we always said we'd only issue 1000 tokens in total so it was never going to be possible for everyone to get an asset.
First come first served - that is fair.
